In the heart of the Forest Mountain, words were few, but my accord with this notion resounded deeply. Here, amid the ancient woods and enigmatic heights, I recognized the boundless expanse of knowledge awaiting my discovery. With resolute determination, I embraced this opportunity, vowing to seize it with unwavering commitment.
Yet, within the tapestry of my aspirations, a question emerged, one born of empathy for Ayase's potential. "Could she not walk a similar path, one of growth and mastery?" I dared to inquire.
Yuna's response carried the weight of sage contemplation. "Indeed," she acknowledged, "Ayase bears the mark of extraordinary strength within her. It would be unwise to halt her ascent. However, you must remain vigilant, for this road is fraught with trials and tribulations. Hardship will be your constant companion."
Indeed, as Yuna's voice resonated with that familiar wisdom, the undeniable truth became apparent: Ayase possessed a wellspring of potential awaiting exploration, akin to the journey I had embarked upon in my previous existence. Yuna's subtle vocal cues radiated the assurance that Ayase's path held uncharted realms of growth and development, eager to be unearthed and harnessed.
In our quest to find the optimal training grounds within the forest's embrace, I sought Yuna's guidance, a journey Ayase and I would undertake together. Yuna, in her thoughtful uncertainty, responded with a pledge to the unknown. "Hmmm... the path ahead remains shrouded," she admitted. "But fear not, for as we tread this enigmatic terrain, our exploration shall be our compass. Through it, we shall uncover the hidden treasures of this forest, guiding us to the hallowed grounds where our training shall flourish."
As the tapestry of our journey unfolded, an important question took root within my thoughts, demanding an answer. "What course shall we chart until that destined moment arrives?" I pondered aloud. "Should we continue our exploration of this mysterious forest, or should we set our course for the City-Kingdom of Evergreen in pursuit of my long-lost family? After all, young noble scions embarking on such quests must surely have concerns for my well-being."
Ayase, ever the steadfast companion, seemed to lend her accord to my sentiments.
Yuna, in her wisdom, nodded in understanding. "A prudent choice, dear friend," she affirmed. "We shall continue our quest to reunite you with your family. And should the tendrils of fate lead us to their presence, you shall be the first to know," she vowed.
Reina's words, like the gentle caress of a breeze, wove another thread into our narrative. "In the interim, let us find solace in this forest's embrace, rejuvenating our spirits before we set forth in pursuit of your lost kin. And as we embark on this path, remember to care for yourself," she concluded, her voice carrying a note of camaraderie that fortified our resolve. Sincerely, I am lost children in this forest from this tragically accented to death. But thanks to these two people who found us and treated us with care, kindness, and good hospitality.
I decided to make a move to return to the city of Evergreen and find my lost family.
Taking their advice to rest well in this forest while we search for the lost family was indeed a wise option, as we had traversed far on our journey and required much-needed repose.
"Your grace. Now let's retreat to the camp and continue our exploration later," Yuna proposed.
The Sun's rays had already shifted into a late evening hue, indicating that our exploring activities had to conclude for the day. I could hear faint sounds of wildlife encroaching from afar as the sun dipped lower into the western skies, signalling the coming night.
It didn't take long for us to begin setting up camp in a designated clearing at the base of a colossal tree.
As Yuna directed the set-up, Reina chose to forgo her previous task of foraging for food and opted for rest under one of the tree's large branches.
In comparison, I was asked to build a campfire.
This particular job seemed to have me frequently kneeling while forking in the twigs or logs that were a bit larger and thicker. Although not necessarily an onerous chore, it wasn't exactly simple, requiring significant mental energy.
Ayase was busy washing the ingredients gathered by Reina and Yuna during their earlier hunt in preparation for cooking, which would require significant time and patience.
Since they were engrossed in their activities, I sought the opportunity for conversation with Yuna and took the chance to pose questions.
I opened a conversation, my queries, "Reina seems a bit special. What type of a person she is? How did you meet each other? I would love to have more insight on this."
After completing her tasks and hearing the queries posed by me, Yuna responded calmly with a smirk. "First of all, our relationship is strictly related to business." She emphasized the latter portion as though I may be incorrectly interpreting a familial connection with the intent of some shady and malicious relationship. "We are eventually becoming friends, since she in our guild, she could be one of the strongest guild members, but they are higher rank than her, for some reason"
"What makes her different from other people in this world or kingdom? What kind of job does Reina take in the guild?" I asked another set of questions.
She briefly closed her eyes, seemingly summoning forth memories that dwelled at the farthest reaches of her subconscious, hidden beneath a veil of dim awareness. As the information made itself clear in her mind's eye, it gradually flowed into her cognition.
"Reina was born into a rather prominent family, and she inherited an unusual power when she reached the age of sixteen, she was learnable and became a hunter, she wielded the great sword or bladder-looking, even I am still curious about her talent and her ancestor heritage"
"I can see why people are curious about her heritage since the sword looks like, but based on her ability and combat, she seems good martial arts and combat skill, how long has she experienced this type of combat or melee kind of stuff in this world?"
"Around a few years of experience, the amount of years that we have our relationship is not counted or longer then several months," Yuna responded to this answer.
"She actually might be as strong or just slightly above average fighter in her time and age, How does she have this type of power? What is the kind of powers she can unleash." I asked other questions to her.
"From what I know, is from her ancestor." Yuna answer.
Reina's guidance and the conversations shared with Yuna have indeed granted me valuable insights into her character and capabilities. Our duel provided a glimpse into her formidable prowess, reflecting a hunter's instincts honed to a razor's edge. However, the true intentions behind her unique abilities remain veiled, an enigma yet to be unraveled.
