"We need to confirm whether this talisman still works on the island."
Tifa softly reminded, handing her talisman to a girl nearby dressed in a black and white maid's dress. The latter nodded, bent the talisman, and disappeared from sight, soon reappearing on the other side of the bonfire.
"It can be used."
Thus, the remaining six talismans in the hotel all gathered in Shard's hands.
"We'll wait for you here."
She said to Shard:
"If you encounter danger along the way or if you get hurt, bend the talisman and come back at any time. Although we can't follow you into this dense mist, everyone here is your backup."
The girls, whom Shard couldn't quite name but looked very familiar, smiled and nodded at him. Looking at the talisman in his hand, Shard realized that with these, the upcoming battle would indeed allow for more error tolerance. However, as he delved deeper into the mist, the effect of these talismans would also be affected, so he couldn't treat them as a trump card.
