"No, I'm not. I jumped into different spaces. I can fly most of the time."
"Really? Then why didn't you fly earlier? Why did you walk all the way down the tunnel and carry the Comets all the way here?
"It's easy. 'Cause I'm tired."
Chester leaked a bitter laugh to Ione, who said so lightly.
"I see. That's certainly an easy reason. But aren't you tired of jumping into different spaces?
"Of course I'm tired. Much more than flying. But I can't help it. It was an emergency. I can't tell you because I'm tired."
"You sure do. But the emergency meant that it was unexpected that the Ars headed for the underground waterway?
"That's right. I stopped because the day before that I went into the underground waterway. Then these people, 'Okay. I'll stop,' you said. Yet the next day…"
I sent the Ars a gaze that Ione blamed.
Then Ars lowered his head looking sorry.
"I'm sorry. We've already decided to go into the underground waterway... so I'm sorry I lied."
Ione nodded and accepted Ars' apology.
"Fine. I forgive you."
When Ione said so, he turned to Shester again.
"Anything else you want to ask me?
Then Shester told me what to do.
"I haven't asked you yet why you wanted to help the Ars?
