Suddenly, Aristia crouched down, surprising the man.
"Boohoo. I and my sisters are lost and don't remember the way back. Our parents will be very worried." Aristia lowered her head and sniffed. Seeing that she had captured the man's attention, she signaled for the others to get ready.
From the corner of her eyes, she saw Beatrix pick up a stone. It looked capable of dealing damage. She continued, "Uncle, can you really help us get home?" She raised her head with a hopeful look while her hand worked.
"Don't worry," the man smiled creepily, bending over. "Uncle will take good care of all of yo—"
"Now!"
Aristia yelled. This left the man frozen in shock and confusion. Then, leaping up, she poured the sand into his eyes.
Immediately, Beatrix used the stone to hit his hand. Serina and Alicia just stood on looking confused and in fear, object still in hand.
"Now, run!" Aristia yelled.
