Time in the real world had advanced to the next morning.
In the Strange Tale World at the Granny of the Mountain's Residence, on the second floor.
The air was permeated with an unpleasant stench of rot and mold.
The house of the Granny of the Mountain was quite large, and there were many vacant rooms. Even with quite a few humans taken in, it was far from full.
The five people, including Nagatomo Masao, who had entered Aokigahara at the same time, were now gathered in one room.
Because of the buzz cut's action of fiercely smashing the mysterious driver with a rock, and his seemingly close relationship with the person who appeared later and claimed to be the Thunder God, the group of five was now vaguely centered around him.
The high school girl said, "By the way, are you guys hungry? I've realized that we've been in this otherworld for so long, yet I haven't felt any desire to eat."
