Chapter 722: Catching Everything Barehanded...

"Let's go."

Shinomiya Kaguya gave a slight nod in agreement.

Amamiya Natsuki mused aloud:

"We explored deep into the jungle last time. This time, let's explore the sides of the island... The terrain over there is flatter, so we should head that way first."

"Fine."

Shinomiya Kaguya silently agreed and followed Amamiya Natsuki along the beach as they began exploring the island.

At first, it didn't feel like anything was wrong. But as they drew farther away from the others who had stayed behind, everything around them quickly fell silent. Under the vast sky, an indescribable loneliness welled up, as if it were about to swallow them both whole.

Shinomiya Kaguya lightly bit her lip and quickened her pace without thinking, keeping close behind Amamiya Natsuki. An embarrassing thought she could hardly believe had even crossed her mind:

If only he'd hold my hand...

Ahhh! Not at all! Why would I have such a shameless thought?!

Amamiya Natsuki stopped and glanced over at her. "There's a cliff up ahead. I'll carry you as we jump down."

They had walked less than a kilometer along the beach when the terrain changed abruptly. A sheer cliff, nearly vertical, lay ahead.

Jumping from that height could easily break a leg if they landed wrong!

And he wanted to carry her down with him... Was he planning to die with her?

"It only looks high," Amamiya Natsuki
