Chapter 54: 53: The deal

"Stay back. I've got this'' was what Suna had told the group almost an hour ago. The female had taken it upon herself to negotiate for a safe place with the adventurers guild. She had gone in alone, not wanting to risk the whole group in case they were recognized or betrayed by someone.

It left the pair outstanding under the bright sun. The day was hot but the worry made it even hotter to bear.

"Should we go and look for other shelters while we wait? This heat would cook us alive" Nao suggested with a tired voice. The heat was getting to her as well.

Maria wanted to take her suggestion but she did not want to make Suna worry when she eventually came out. The dot that represented Suna had not moved at all since she had arrived inside.

"Not yet. Suna is not done yet. In fact, she had moved from her initial position and it makes me worry about her. No wait, she just started moving again" Maria watched as Suna's dot finally started moving on her screen.
