"Yumi, are you sure you're okay in this condition?"
"Meow (No problem)."
"The master is indicating that he can."
She first turned to me to confirm, nodded slightly, then looked at Hikari and Annie in turn before continuing her previous conversation: "You all know that I took that child, Aian, with me today to the laboratory that we confirmed before, which is suspected to be left by a certain mage, right?"
Everyone responded affirmatively.
Miyuki pinched her chin: "Originally, I just thought that because the child was curious, I would let him go in and take a look. Anyway, since all the traps in the passage have been removed, there is nothing extra inside, and I will be following behind to protect him, so I thought nothing dangerous would happen...

Unaware of this, Miyuki nodded earnestly and replied, "Yes, although I tried many methods, I still managed to reach that door. If I'm not mistaken, the door was decorated with some kind of flowing, air-like pattern, but that's all I know. As for inside..."
She bit her lower lip, a rare hint of confusion showing in her icy eyes: "That seems to be an abandoned experimental site..."
