Chapter 57: Threat Level: 10

"Psst, No. 6."

"Hm?"

Somewhere in the Underworld filled with rocks and steam, No. 1 and No. 5 were gesturing to Rhys to come to them. Rhys wasn't really doing anything but just cleaning his clothes in a stream of clear water, and so he just put his clothes to the side and approached the two… who were suspiciously whispering to each other beside a large piece of boulder.

"What is—" And as soon as Rhys got even an arm's reach near them, the two quickly lifted him up — locking all of his limbs before they proceeded to carry him somewhere, "What are you guys doing!?"

"You wanted to find out if No. 2 is really a man, right!?" No. 1 let out a menacing laugh as he nodded several times, "Then find out now!"

And without even any sort of warning, No. 1 and No. 5 suddenly threw Rhys into a deep stream. The water was cold, very much so — but what he saw deep in the water perhaps was the reason he almost drowned.
