Taeko starts following Katashi. He wouldn''t stop walking.


    Taeko: The sun is about to go down. Are you planning to continue at night? Anyway, what are we doing in a forest?


    The boys were advancing through the forest. They had to stop there. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Katashi: Let''s light up a fire. We''re staying here for the night.


    Taeko started collecting sticks. He figured out that it was the right time to talk to Katashi.


    Taeko: So, how are you planning to make me "stronger"?


    Katashi stood silent with his eyes closed. He was resting on a log.


    Taeko: Who is that Ethan guy that is supposed to help me?


    Katashi: He went through a lot. Sit down, take a break so I can tell you about him.


    Taeko sat down on the log beside him, curious about the identity of Ethan.
