Holding Tikshna in my arms is a little complicated, besides not knowing where to put my hands and hold...

But I do not have to pretend to be strong, my small light fairies flew around Tikshna and me sprinkling a little Fairy Dust, this way I can hold Tikshna more easily.

"Let us take a break, we are close to the fork and it seems that we are all somewhat exhausted... By the way, we should take off some layers I think..." I said after looking at Tikshna’s forehead and everyone’s.

Tikshna has a little sweat on her forehead, leaving aside that she fainted from a huge shyness attack, all of us are going down deeper into the mountains.

It does not seem like it, but all of us have gone down a lot and the heat in the depths is starting to be felt.

It seems contradictory, the deeper we go the more the temperature rises.

"At least it is a space big enough to stretch our legs"

"Mm! I am thirsty, Vremya take out the blanket ~ "

"Magen this is not a picnic! Vremya do not listen to Magen!"

"Ehhh... But where do you want me to put Tikshna?" I said to Xifia with an innocent face...

After placing Tikshna on a soft blanket, I took off my long trench coat and started taking out water bottles and food.

The high humidity in the network of caverns makes all of us sweat, we need to replenish fluids and also salts and minerals.

After placing lunch boxes for each of us I sat down folding my legs by the knees to the left. Looking at Tikshna who seemed to be sleeping I gently took her head and placed it on my lap.

"Where am I?..." Tikshna’s low and soft voice came out.

"Eh? You wake up so soon? Do you want some puff pastry?" I exclaimed at first and then offered her some puff pastry filled with cheese and ham.

Tikshna upon smelling the food near her nose automatically opened her mouth. Instinctively Tikshna took a bite with her white teeth into the puff pastry bread.

"Wow ~ fed by Vremya while resting on his thighs. I am also going to have to pretend to faint at least once"

"I do not..." before I could express that I would not give Dianeira a lap pillow, Tikshna was surprised first.

"Eh? Eh!! Eh!? EHHH??!!!

I.. I.. I.. "

Tikshna’s body first froze, then shook, then froze again, then shook more strongly but with her body paralyzed.

All this while her face became redder and redder and I could feel how the temperature of her body increased.

"Eat. There is no time for you to faint again, and drink some water." I said to Tikshna on my legs while putting the puff pastry filled with cheese and ham back into her mouth.

"ñom... I.. ñom.. Vrem..." Tikshna’s eyes seemed to be inside a fog while her cheeks filled up and she started eating.

Then Tikshna reacted and sat up hurriedly. When I saw that she was going to open her mouth to say something I gave her a bottle of juice.

"Here, drink something..."

Tikshna took the bottle and after two seconds she started drinking it.

Seeing her like this, she looks like a hamster. Of the girls I know Tikshna is the one with the chubbiest cheeks and sometimes I feel like wanting to pinch her cheeks.

"Good, now that we all rested and rehydrated, we can continue descending"

"Why is it hot in here? Should it not be colder? The sun does not reach..." Magen passed the back of her hand over her forehead.

Some strands of blond hair stuck to her skin from the sweat.

"Uhnmm, I think because of the planet’s core..."

"Core?"

"Yes... That thing that in the center of the planet there is a dense concentration of burning lava like the sun..."

"Planet?"

"Yes, the world where we live..."

"Do we not live on a continent?" Magen looked at me with the eyes of a cat that sees a bright spot...

"Silly! Vremya is referring to the world, but sometimes Vremya uses strange words" Xifia said to Magen from the side, but for some reason I felt the hit was aimed at me.

"It is true, sometimes Vremya behaves strangely and says made-up words"

"I do not say made-up words!" it is true that sometimes words from my original language from my previous world slip out... But...

I looked at Destan but he does not seem to react. At least I have to be grateful that our languages are different or he could suspect that I am also an isekai person...

At least I no longer have to explain why the temperature rises more the deeper we go... The knowledge from my previous world may not be real in this world, I do not even know if this world is a planet or what... Or a hollow planet...? A flat planet?

I have so many things to complain about with my mother! A lot of lack of knowledge is because she did not let me read books, much less did she give me books.

And even so, I am not sure about that statement about the planet’s core, or if the heat increases because the tectonic plates rub or because... But it is true that it does feel a temperature above twenty degrees.

Especially the humidity that increases the sensation of heat even more.

"Oh!! And now which path do we take? Let us go this way, here it feels fresher"

We arrived at the fork that I had seen from above while exploring with my spatial sense focused.

The path to the right really feels a fresh breeze but it is because of the humidity, in my spatial perception I can see that this cave is a dead end since it goes to the sea...

There is a network of caverns but all of them lead nowhere, a large part ends submerged in water. Although there are chambers and wider passages there is nothing.

The path to the left is more interesting, although more paths appear and many chambers and there are even lakes and rivers there is one path that has caught my attention and from this point I can see it better.

But what I see seems a bit strange to me...

"Which path do we take Vremya?"

All the girls looked at me waiting for me to make the decision.

"Let us go to the left. The path to the right is a dead end unless you want to swim since it is underwater"

"Then this way it will be! Let us go YOO!"

"Magen, be careful!"

"There is nothing here to be careful about..."

No one said otherwise and everyone followed my words without doubt. I only shrugged my shoulders and followed Magen, Xifia, Destan and Dianeira who are going ahead.

In front of us there is only darkness, and as we advance and look back we can see darkness chasing us.

"And now..." after a while Magen asked again upon seeing another fork.

"That way" I pointed sending a small fairy that is now cyan blue.

Unlike before now the air is drier, it seems that the humidity mostly came from the sea.

"And now?"

"This way..."

"And now?"

"That way"

"And..."

"Here...."

The further we advanced the more forks we encountered. There are some that are small and although there is more space ahead it is not the route I have chosen.

There are some caverns that go in circles and return to the same place. This place would be a wonder for those explorers who love entering cave networks called Speleologists.

"Now what do we do Vremya?" Magen stopped at a limit and in front of her there was nothing.

This time we all reached a -cliff- we all managed to get out of the crack and stand side by side.

In front of us there is an abyssal cavity that does not seem to have an end. Even with the light emanating from Magen’s shield the bottom cannot be seen.

"Do we have to go down?" Xifia asked.

"No. Our destination is over there" I pointed toward the wall on the other side. In the rock wall there is a cavity that does look more like a cave than a crack.

That cavity is large enough for vehicles to exit and enter, it rather looks like a hangar... Or that is what it is.

"And how do we get over there?" Magen exclaimed looking at the entrance in the rock wall on the other side.

"Of course by flying!"

Not only did my small fairies start sprinkling Fairy Dust on everyone, but I also raised my hands and sprinkled Fairy Dust on Tikshna and Kara who are closer to me.

"Wow, going out with Vremya always makes things easy ~" Dianeira smiled at me while her body started to rise and floated in the air.

"Good, good, good. I am not going to forgive you yet" I only waved my hand in Dianeira’s direction and did not look at her.

"I only grabbed a little, cough, I mean. My hand slipped ~ " Dianeira seemed to have an expression of guilt and a dejected attitude, she flew as if she had no energy with her arms and legs hanging down.

But it is obvious that it is all fake, besides did your hand slip? If I do that I would surely go to jail! Well, that in my previous world...

"What is down there? Can you see it Vremya?" Xifia on the other hand approached and asked with doubt.

Dianeira, Magen, Destan, Kara and Tikshna also approached. The width distance of the abyss is about one hundred meters, it looks like a sword cut that a giant being made but I still maintain my thought that something hit and here it was a disaster.

"Nothing, just a large underground river" the bottom of this abyss has one kilometer where a sea water river runs.

The bottom of the river cannot be seen, it is further from my spatial perception and that in normal mode my spatial perception already reaches two kilometers and if I concentrate in one direction it can exceed ten kilometers.

Thanks to that I can see if Xuexue and the three little kittys are okay and if my shadow guardian is still there near the entrance of Xuexue’s cave.
