"Let's put our key in here…and the door is opening."
Ai took the lead this time as she put the key in the lock and opened the (hopefully) final chamber.
The floor shifted and stairs appeared to lead them down. The darkness made it impossible to tell what was down there, and Cane threw a light globe down to check.
But after falling for a few meters, the glowing bulb lost its light. There was no sound of it touching water, which meant that the stairs were a long walk down.
"Another long haul? Why is this quest so exhausting?"
Cane questioned, and Ai rubbed his back in comfort.
"Don't be so disappointed. If you want, I can carry you down. I am strong enough to do that…hopefully."
Ai assured him, but then her face took a doubtful look and she looked away with a blush on her face.
