"Well that was tough." I said, lying on the ground.
Once again I had exhausted my aura time limit and couldn't move my body. It wasn't until Akio helped pick me up that I could at least move my body.
"If we keep this up we should arrive at the Giant King's Palace soon." Ichiro said excitedly.
That name sounded familiar. Almost as if it was the quest that I explicitly said we shouldn't go on. I let out an annoyed sigh and shrugged, no use in crying over spilled milk.
"I'm surprised you activated your aura so quickly, John. Though you shouldn't expect to be able to do that next time, you got extremely lucky." Ichiro warned.
I gave Ichiro an unamused stare before turning my attention to Alice and Akio. Both seemed to be managing fine, though they were quiet.
"Something on your mind?" I asked the both of them.
"I'm just bored, this forest is kinda dull." She said, letting out a yawn.
I would have agreed with her if it weren't for the giant waterfall that was next to us. Everyone stopped so they could take a good look at it. I looked at the map and saw that this location wasn't marked
"I think this is a good place to stop and take a break." Ichiro said, putting his bags down on a giant rock.
I put my bag down soon after and sat near the water. The water was a clear blue and allowed me to see the fish that swam by. I would have fallen asleep if it weren't for Ichiro deciding to sit next to me.
"So how well do you think our little team is managing?" He asked.
"Well this team does have one of the strongest people I know so I think we're pretty good." I answered.
Ichiro gave me a reassured smile before getting up and walking away. I laid down and closed my eyes. It wasn't long until I completely fell asleep.
