Rescue

“So, are those guys okay? They aren't going to die, are they?”

I haven't finished collecting from them yet.

It'd be a problem if they died here.

“Their equipment's in pretty bad shape, and they're in a real bind~. We should go help them~.”

“I see...”

Laughter welled up inside me.

I never thought I'd get the chance to go rescue them.

How ironic.

It wasn't for their sake.

I needed to keep them alive so I could collect from them...
