I had been guided around the village and started to gain a sense of familiarity, and the new villagers seemed less gloomy after seeing me and Mari up and about.
However, there was a locked room in the very rear of the village close to Mari and Haruna's home.
"That place... what is in there?"
My eyes looked around the high grass and strange signs written in a difficult-to-read language but there was a tap on my shoulder as Haruna looked at me with a faint smile.
"It reads, danger does not enter. The dragon sleeps here. It's a sealed room where that woman who attacked you is."
"Is the princess in there?" I asked, knowing it was true. My feet began to move closer towards the sealed hut naturally. There were tingles around my flesh before a loud smash echoed like glass dropped from a second-story window.
"Akira!?"
Haruna looked at me with a strange look, but I couldn't help moving closer.
