"Uhh…" Emma thought for a bit, but couldn't come up with anything. "We'll think of something later, or we can get Umbra to handle it herself."

"Okay," Ning said. "That works too."

He asked the system to find more of the crystals and quickly determined the next location he was supposed to go to.

"Alright, let's leave. There are more crystals that I want to get," he said and reached for his daughter's arm.

Emma, however, pulled her arm away at the last second. "We're going to find more of these? Isn't that a very tedious task?" she asked.

"It is, but we have to do it," Ning said. "It's necessary. I told you."

"But I don't wanna!" she said grumpily. "Why do I have to go around for a chore? Just go by yourself."

"Are you sure?" Ning said. "I will really go by myself."

"Yes, go," Emma said, not falling for the bluff. "I really don't want to come along."
