“Well done you two, when we get out of here I will report your merit to higher-ups!” The leader praised them after they were done dealing with the creature.

No.20 and No.22 just smiled at the praise of their leader and looked at the creature frozen in the ice sculpture.

.....

After they brighten the area with light equipment that they brought with them.

Everyone was damaged after seeing how the creature looked.

The creature’s body is just like an earthworm but it’s long and big enough to swallow a cow without spitting the bones.

The mouth has sharp razor-like spiky teeth which are bloodied but don’t have any eyes. So the group hypotheses that the creature might have other ways to sense them or maybe their energy gives it away.

For further research purposes, they kept the parts which hadn’t been damaged. After this creature ambushed, they weren’t interrupted by anyone so they were able to rest their bodies.

As the means they came to this world is permanent but temporary with a time limit of 24 hours so they have 6 more hours left before they would have to return to their world from the same place.

In this way, they can’t travel far away from that place so in these hours they decided to use it wisely by dividing into three teams with 10 members each on one team to sweep the residential area for any kind of information left behind by natives.

The leader took the weakest in the bunch and left the strong ones in the other two teams so as not to get wiped out by the same creature they faced previously.

“Leader, can we find anything in these ruins of buildings!” One of the members asked, feeling like they are wasting away their time in these broken ruins of a building.

“Shut up, No.25! We are here for information and now that we can’t find any native speakers, we are only left with searching for books and written records left behind by natives!” The leader shouted, feeling frustrated as they searched for 3 hours and haven’t found anything substantial. Now they have only 3 hours remaining for their return time.

Then they increased their search effort, and a minute later a member found something which looked weird to him so he decided to ask the leader to not miss any kind of credit if it’s useful.

“Leader, look at the cardboard box if anything is useful here!” He said to his leader and handed the box to him then went on his way to search for other things.

“No.15, look more for this kind of box as we have more chances to find something from them than searching in debris!” The leader was pleased with the No.15 search results so he reminded him to find boxes like these.

The leader opened the box to look inside it and he found a lot of different size beads in the box with buttons attached to them not understanding at first he curiously pushes the button of one of the beads and it started to vibrate and looking at his hand with the toys which vibrate and is small then suddenly he got enlightened what it was.

“Fuck, who the hell packed these things in times like this!” Leader cursed under his breath for a foolish native who packed these things even in times of crisis.

Just like this leader team happened to find these packed boxes but not one of them was useful for them like the first one has vibrators, the second one has sexy lingeries and the third has see-through leggings and so on.

The leader got very frustrated looking at the perverted collection of things, after wasting their 2 hours like that they left that area and went to the place where they first came into this world.

After meeting with the other two teams, the leader asked if they found anything related to journals, diaries or books of sorts. Then one of the members of the third team came out carrying a wooden box and shouted toward the leader.

“Leader...leader! I found a diary and it looks like a native was writing just before his death as I also found the traces of a skeleton beside it!” A member explained the situation when he found the diary.

“Good...very good! If I found anything useful on it then you can expect some reward for your contribution!” The leader smiled at the man who found the diary and patted his shoulder then taking the box after opening it took out the worn-out diary which the main cover colour had already faded away.

“Okay, everyone packs up and makes preparations to return to our world, and meanwhile I look into this diary!” The leader instructed everyone to start preparing to return.

He looked at the diary and then carefully opened the first page in which he found the map of the world decided into five massive continents.

In the upper left corner of the page, he looked at the words which he did not understand but he did understand the images of the flower that is the name of this world, The Plum Blossom.

He looked at the different words on the map of the continent, after looking through everything on the map.

He came to understand that this world doesn’t have a country concept but every continent has a massive empire-like structure, with many small kingdoms under one massive empire ruling.

Just like his world’s middle ages, where a large empire lords over a small kingdom.

“I did understand the map a little bit but I don’t understand the language. Uhh! This would be a problem but I can try to get a simple meaning from it!” The leader looked at the words on the second page with a question mark on his head as this is a different world so the language would also be different but he who has learned all the main languages of his world won’t give up.

“Hmmn, this is just like playing with puzzles and understanding their meaning!” The leader started to assimilate different words and try to see if any word resembled his world language.
