Hina, seeing Soma, who was currently taking off his blazers, doesn't know why, but she couldn't tear her eyes away from this sight. Soma slowly took off his blazer, folded it into two parts, and began loosening his tie.
The sight of him slowly taking off his clothes made Hina, who watched it firmly, feel a sense of depraved and guilty pleasure that she should not have. From her own perspective, Soma indeed has a good-looking face with his smooth proportioned face and his sharp red eyes that could captivate any woman in sight. Sadly, the boy himself seed not aware of it.
Slowly, Soma began to unbutton his shirt one at a ti. Hina, who watched him intently, began to feel her face boil. Her cald, rhythmic heart began to speed up, pumping more blood through her nerves. Her breath turned erratic as the temperature around her body rose. Then ca the part that she had been waiting for: the pants. "Okay, wait!
What the hell is wrong with ?". She muttered those words in her heart.
"Ne, red hair?".
Soon, her excited heart began to take a nosedive because of the flat tone that echoed into her right ear, like a cold breeze from the Arctic cooled her boiled face and chilled her body. Grudgingly, she turned her head to the side only to find Xiao Lian's expressionless face staring at Soma's figure.
The blank expression from Xiao Lian dissipated the grudge that piled up as Hina sighs then opened her mouth.
"What is it, Silver-hair".
"Does Soma always like that?".
"What do you an?".
"...I an helping people willingly".
Hina glanced at the Xiao Lian figure, trying to probe her intention. Then Xiao Lian glanced to the side and accidentally t their eyes. She could feel the sa curiosity toward the boy who was willing to help another person. Hina took a glance at Soma, who was currently wearing only a black boxer, showing his toned and smooth body dipping his feet into the pond while sitting on the side.
She started to recall back to the past when Soma saved his parents despite not knowing who they were. Her dark phase, mocking him and spat at his goodwill. But, Soma keeps his goodwill while protecting her when there is an incident in town, and the most life-changing mont inside the trial gate when she could only watch helplessly and let Soma do the hard work.
However, the current Hina is different. She is ready to carry those stupid sins she had and move on to beco a better and stronger person who can stand beside him, supporting him.
"...Let's see…".
At first, Hina is unwilling to share her mories with Soma, but sohow, she just wants soone to listen to her story and wants soone who can also understand a person nad Soma.
"...Yeah, I think personally. It was in his nature to help people in need before him".
"I see".
When the two girls seed rather curious about Soma's nature, the person himself was currently sitting on the pond side while swaying his subrged feet, getting his body accustod to the chilling water that seed to stung his bones.
"Can I make it?".
Soma never thought that the water temperature could be this low. It was almost the sa temperature when he once tried to take an ice bath in his previous world, trying to copy so athlete to recover his body, which resulted in Soma catching a fever.
However, he had already made his promise to Xiao Lian, and it would be pretty embarrassing if he is back down now. He is also curious about the treasure that is under the water.
"Okay, I am ready".
Soma uttered those words to support his ntality and was slightly shaken because of the water temperature. He slowly regulated his breathing, trying to regain his calm mind. Gradually, strength began to gather in his sharp eyes as he took a deep breath and then pushed his body forward before being swallowed by the water.
Upon entering the water, the first ti he opened his eyes, he ached because of the cold water that stung his eyes open and jolted his mind to stay awake for the next few days. However, gradually, his eyes began to adapt.

{Nice}
The translucent window that appeared before him as his body was gradually being pulled downward, he felt secure because of it. He also began to slowly exhale the air in his lungs to make his dive more easier.
Soma cast his eyes and marvelled at the srizing sight that presented before him. Beneath the pond spread brilliant cascades from the sunlight that filtered through the water's surface, filled with wonder, making it a sight to behold.
Ten seconds that felt long had passed. Soma still could hold off his breath as he almost reached the bottom of the lake. The more he got closer to the bottom, the dazzling color of the gold coin that lay on the bottom captivated his greed. Each of the coins engraved with an ancient text glead in the warm golden light that pierced his eyes.
Soma finally reached his feet toward the bottom of the pond while his sight caught the view of an ancient fossil that coiled around him, making his heart pounded in awe.
{Man, what a big haul}
Before the pilling treasure, there was one item that caught his eye. Soma, who is feeling curious, grabs the item that resembles a bracelet with a black diamond shape embedded in it, giving it a touch of elegance.
{Hm?!}
As soon as Soma grabs it using his left hand, the bracelet twitches before its black diamond emits a blinding light that blackens his sight for a mont.
[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]
At that mont, Soma almost lost his calm because of the sudden turn of events. His extra skill ca in handy by controlling his breathing and the capability to hold on inside the water.
Soma, who slightly regained his clear vision, gradually opened his eyes only to find all of the treasure that was piled before him disappeared. Not only that, even the fossil of the dragon also disappears from his sight, leaving him in a state of wonder.

{What?!}
Because of the sudden translucent window that gave him earth-shattering news, making him unconsciously spit all of the air inside his lungs, Soma was on his limit. He began to kick the bottom of his legs, putting his hands together before launching himself up like a living missile.
"Puhah".
"Soma?".
"You okay? Hm, where are the fossils?".
The voice from Hina and Xiao Lian that entered his ears made him stupefied as his gaze was tracing the black diamond symbol on his left palm.
