Her and Rantaro finally catch up with the others at the manhole a couple minutes later.

The manhole's already been lifted once they arrive, and most people have already gone down.

"Ladies first." Rantaro steps aside and lets Y/n climb down the ladder

Inside is a huge room with some sort of.. pipe? A sewer?

"Tch! Finally! What took you two so long!? Don't tell me you were doing what I think you were!" Miu says. "Oh come on.. you chose him over me!? Y/n, why!?"

"Nothing like that. I just dropped one of my rings and Y/n stayed behind to help me find it."  Rantaro lies

"Yeah.. so what are we doing down here? I assume we're gonna go through that pipe thing there." Y/n points to the sign with 'Exit' written on it.

"Doesn't it.. seem too obvious to be the exit?" Shuichi says

"There's no harm in trying though, right?" Kaede says

"It's probably a trap. They wouldn't let us go that easy." Ryoma says

"We have to at least see what's inside, they could be trying to double bluff us." Tsumugi suggests

"Exactly! Don't be so negative, I'm sure we can do it." Kaede says

"Nyeh.. seems like a lot of effort.." Himiko says

"Don't worry Himiko! I'll protect you and the rest of the girls, the men are on their own though." Tenko says

And with that, everyone enters. It seems like some sort of weird obstacle course, with different platforms, bombs etc. It looks very dangerous to say the least.

Y/n jumps on each platform slowly, cautious of all the fire and explosions going on.

She manages to stay with the group mostly, but gets a little left behind when she stops to catch her breath.

"Are you tired already?" Maki stares at her disapprovingly

"I'm just.. a little.. out of breath.." Y/n pants between her words

"..You should go back. You probably won't be able to last much longer at this rate."

"No..! I'm.. fine.."

"Just go back. You'll probably end up falling and dying, then you're no use to anyone."

Y/n pauses. "You're probably right.. but I'll be fine.!"

Maki just glares at her.

Y/n sighs and goes to turn back, but she notices something flashing above Maki's head.. a bomb.

"Maki! Move!" Y/n quickly shoves Maki backwards as soon as the bomb drops, but it doesn't leave enough time for Y/n to get out of the way.

The bomb knocks her over and she hits the back of her head on the wall, before falling over onto the floor.

"Hey! What happened over there!?" Kaito yells from ahead

"I don't know.. I can't see anything. Y/n?" Maki waves the smoke out of her face.

"I'm over here.. ow.." Y/n groans and lifts her head off the floor

The smoke clears up, and Maki goes over to her.

"Are.. you injured?" Maki asks

"No.. I'm fine.. just hit my head a little. Jeez.. that was a close one." She chuckles and sits up

"That was stupid. You could've gotten seriously hurt."

"I saved you and I don't even get a thanks?"
