After repelling the wooden soldiers' attack, Uchiha Madara and the others said to Rose, "Mr. Rose, I'm afraid their target is you. Their wooden soldiers are rather poorly made, while your puppet factory is the best around here. They may want to kidnap you and make you produce better wooden soldiers for them. You should prepare your defenses."
McBain said, "Um, Mr. Uchiha Madara, I've been considering something. Could we leave some people behind to defend Mr. Rose? After all, this place has become extremely dangerous. More wooden soldiers may attack in the future. Even the masterminds controlling those wooden soldiers might come here themselves."
Uchiha Madara thought for a moment and said, "But what forces do we have that we can leave here?"
McBain thought about it, then shook his head. "It seems we don't have any. We still need quite a few people to search for the Resonance Stones... However, I detected Resonance Stones to both the southeast and southwest. While we search for those two Resonance Stones, could we leave a few people behind to assist with the defense?"
At that moment, Evan and Mel stepped forward and said, "The two of us can stay here as the defensive force. Go find the Resonance Stones without worry. Once you've found them and returned here, we can figure out a way to solve the problem with Rose's factory."
Just then, Rose's granddaughter Ada suddenly said, "Since someone is willing to help Grandpa guard the factory, I want to go look for the Resonance Stones too. This sounds like fun!"
McBain looked at Ada helplessly. "This is something very important. It's not something that can be explained away just because it's fun. If you want to play, Ada, how about Uncle Evan and Uncle Mel play with you?"
