"I should have known that you'd still be the guardian of this forest, Irika." Sakiro said to her.
"It's only been a few years since the last time we saw each other, so of course I'd still still be the guardian of this forest." Irika explained.
"That's fair, I guess."
"I have something I need to know." Irika began.
"Hmm?"
"Why did you come back?"
"Well, I came back to visit Yuuki."
"You came here to visit Yuuki?" She asked.
"Yeah, Yuu said we have to see her before doing anything else."
"Wait, Yuu's here too?!"
"Yeah, at least she's somewhere in this forest." He said.
"You don't know where she's at?!" Irika screamed at him.
"She was the first one to enter the forest; she ran ahead of the rest of us." He explained.
"Rest of us? So, there are more people in the forest?!" She asked.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Damn, not more accursed humans." Sakiro turned and looked at the hole in the ground above them.
"Hey! Is there anything other way out of this hole?" Sakiro asked.
"And why would I tell you that?"
"Because you're such a nice person." Sakiro joked.
"Screw you!!" Irika yelled as she launched a vine at him.
Sakiro jumped into the air, dodging the vine. "Stand ... still!!!!" She yelled as he dodged all of the vines she threw at him.
"You're going to have to be faster then that to beat me!"
Yuu walked out of the forest into a small clearing; where a White House sat towards the center of the clearing. "Finally, I've been walking for almost an hour!! The suns about to start setting." She said to herself.
