203: Deep Caves

"Hey, how long will we let the little one follow after us? I know we said we will not get involved with her but we cannot allow Mary to follow us like this either. She's too young to be put in danger."

Aurora had known that Rita had a bleeding heart when it came to children.

She might react like she did not care for others but Aurora knew how Rita was. If there was one of them who would take mercy on Mary, it would be Rita.

"Let her follow us if she wants to. No monster will attack her as long as she stays near us. Besides, aren't you keeping an eye out for Mary as well? We don't need her in our group to keep her safe."

If Rita was someone who had an openly bleeding heart, then Astoria had a closed-on. She did care about the safety of the child but she could not go out of her way to help the child out.

Not without anything life-threatening happening to the child at least.
