Stones were crumbling down the large canyons in this mysterious ecosystem that Imai found himself walking aside. While Sei was enjoying its sleep, the star mage sweated non-stop as he would consecutively look down and fathom the depths of these habitats. “What animal can live here… perhaps some extreme goats. Or maybe… maybe there exists goats with wings here!” he mumbled out to himself in wonder of what kinds of species that could do a living here. Suddenly, without having a nice grab, his left foot crushed some of the side cliff that he balanced on, which caused him to lose balance and almost fall down. If not for his totally non-magical scarf that he used as a rope to regain a grab on the cliff, then he would’ve fallen into wherever the ground was. His throat was slightly getting choked, in which he quickly used his hands to pull himself up by the scarf. As he got up, his entire face was red and sweaty. “*Huff*… that was close…” he let out in relief, surprised that Sei was still asleep, “… You lazy, little guy.” A finger travelled across Sei’s head as Imai stroked it, while moving on with caution.
Why did Ken-girl call him out here in the first place, though? He could picture earlier when he found the note on his house’s door in the Ace of Spades, where Kenna left a message about wanting him to come and see this thing that she found. Okay, it triggered his curiosity like a fuse, but what exactly would it turn out to be? And was it worth the dangers in this ecosystem, exactly as they beat all records? His clothes were being ripped by the cold rocks as well; luckily, he ‘borrowed’ one of Mashyuu’s robes and a cloak to protect him from the cold wind. “I’m almost there…” he whispered to himself as his gloves would help him climb upwards as whatever secret cave, building, ruin or anything awaited him…
