"Lucia?"

Huh?

As I slowly opened my eyes, I became embarrassed.

I was about to fall asleep...!

"Y-yes!" I ended up yelling, suddenly standing up.

Then, I opened my eyes, and let my head fall as I saw Leon's grin.

This is so embarrassing...

Then, he reached for something in his pockets and handed it over.

"W-What is this?" I asked, a bit curious

"Chocolate."

Choco... what?

I looked at the object and ended up taking it.

"What is it?"

"Food."

I coughed.

"Y-you mean that ...?" I questioned as he ended up sighing.

"No, you have to get rid of the paper."

Then, he twisted the object, and effectively, there was something inside the strange paper.

I looked at him as I kept on holding the bar in my left hand.

I was always skeptical when it came to new stuff.

I sighed as I finally took a bite, my eyes widening as I noticed how weird it was.

Maybe I shouldn't get overexcited over food, but...

"This is good...!" I finally said, making him sigh in relief.

Then, he stood up and stretched up a bit.

"I'm glad."

"What was the name of this thing, again?"

"Chocolate."

I smiled.

Chocolate...

If I get out of here, I want to eat something like this again.

"Thank you." I ended up saying as we both moved on, crossing the room with the flying axes to get back to the second floor of the room with statues.

However, the zealots had gotten here while we were away, putting some kind of altar in the middle with what seemed to be a sacrifice.

I wonder how many goats are left in this country...

I looked at Leon, who immediately reached for a grenade while letting out an almost silent but heavy sigh.

I stopped breathing as I understood.

He launched the grenade right in the middle of the group, killing each one of them.

I laughed fearfully as I wondered how he could be this good, even at throwing objects.

Since we were on the upper floor, I took the opportunity to take a look around as Leon immediately jumped on the chandelier.

Well...

----------------------------

After solving a few more puzzles and going through the gallery, I solved the puzzle with the pictures.

As Leon immediately moved on, I stopped him.

"Leon, take this." I said as I ended up handing him the grenades I'd been keeping in my purse for a while.
