Cari gently squeezed the hand he had been holding.
"It's okay. It doesn't look like he's hurt, and Big Brother Albe is with him. No matter what happens, he'll protect Mama."
Everything had happened so suddenly that Cari had been unable to react.
Even though Albe had fallen as well, his older brother was still by Qiong Xing's side.
This was their second time visiting this dungeon, and so far they had not encountered any overwhelmingly powerful monsters.
If it was those two together, Cari believed they would be alright.
He was still worried, but unlike last time, he did not feel overwhelmed with panic.
"Papa and the others will find Mama soon."
"...Okay."
Lian nodded timidly, but she did not cry.
"Good girl."
Cari smiled as he gently patted her head.
With Mama gone for the moment, he was the one who had to keep everyone's spirits up.
"Mayo's here too, so it'll be alright. Right?"
"Mayo~"
Mayo nodded as if to say exactly that.
