2652 Excuse
Everyone looked puzzled. "What guy? We got here on our own."
Bunbun snorted in response. "Hmph! As if! This place is really far from the entrance you used and in a completely different direction from the tower. Why would you venture into a place like this? It is obvious someone told you about this place."
Yet, Rean shook his head. "Nope, no one told us about this place. It's just that we detected some weird readings with our equipment in this direction, so we came to see." Of course, that was a lie.
Roan, Celis, and Kentucky looked at Rean. The guy was truly good with those excuses since he was usually the one who did the talks.
"Detected something with your... equipment?" Bunbun narrowed his eyes. "Let me see it."
Rean nodded and took out his communication badge, the one he used in the war. Of course, it had no use in this place since no signal arrived inside the Wonderland. Nonetheless, it should be a piece of novelty for the Loporrits, who had never seen it before.
"What is this?" Bunbun tried to figure it out but it seemed to have no response whatsoever.
"It only works for its user," Rean answered. "You can use it for communication, searching, and a bunch of other uses. It's something I invented. Cool, right?" Rean then took out another communication badge, this one without an owner, which he threw to Bunbun. "Give it a try. Just use a drop of your blood on it and your Divine Sense. It will bound to you."
Bunbun caught the badge and analyzed it, not finding anything dangerous. He did as Rean said and used a drop of his blood, followed by his Divine Sense. Sure enough, the badge recognized its new owner and showed all the options available inside... too bad they didn't have much use here.
Nonetheless, Rean took the opportunity to call Bunbun's badge. Badges could communicate with each other without the transmission towers as long as they were close enough, after all.
Rean shrugged his shoulder. 'I didn't. That was just a bet. Since we can't force our way in, I can only appeal to the bunny's good side. Well, I feel a little bad for fooling him about the communication badge.'
Just as their group passed by Bunbun's side, Bunbun called them again. "You with the Black Hair, do I know you?"
Roan looked at him and shook his head. "The other Loporrits asked me the same thing. For some reason, I seem to have a familiar smell to your race. I don't know why, though."
Yet, to Bunbun, the smell was a lot more familiar than anyone else. The image of a Black-Furred Loporrit appeared in his mind, but looking at the human in front of him, he just shook his head. "Whatever."
*Jump!*
Bunbun then landed on Roan's shoulder. "I'll go with you to make sure you won't cause trouble."
Rean and the others bitterly smiled. Yet, there was no way they could refuse this Loporrit. They had the feeling this Green-Furred Loporrit wasn't any weaker than Lotiri himself.
'What should we do?' Rean asked Roan through their Soul Connection.
'What else? We bring him with us. First of all, we don't even know what to find here, so it doesn't really matter at the moment,' Roan answered.
Rean gave a slight nod, and they made their way deeper into the ruins.
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
