As soon as I reached the kiln, I saw Manu chatting with Xe, the son of the master craftsman. Xe was giving Manu a sack of items. I identified the sack as belonging to Manu himself.
"I will tell you the secret path to escape from this place." Xe said in a fast tone after I pressed the play button. "Honestly, I don't know why I'm doing this."
"Eh?" Manu looks confused.
It must be because of the guardian spirit's orders from Redtooth. So, I immediately gave instructions for Manu to obey Xe.
"I don't want him to be affected by all this." The transparent red-figure descended from above, coming towards me. "After all, in the eyes of my people, he was the one who made the expedition happen. Even if it's because of your orders, right?"
"Oh, thank you…. And I'm sorry…. See you…." I was about to follow Manu, who had started walking with Xe, but Red stood in my way.
