Chapter 06

In the middle of the Aokigahara forest, the five of them walked quite casually. They headed for a house in the middle of the forest. The house is the home of the owner of the seal Ouroboros.

Nobody knows if there is a house in the middle of the forest. Apart from being located in the middle of the forest, the forest itself is also frightening for many people.

* Aokigahara Forest (青木 ヶ 原) is a forest located northwest of Mt. Fuji, stretching from Kawaguchiko City to Narizawa Village, Yamanashi Prefecture.

Aokigahara is also called "forest of sea trees" and "sea of ​​trees of Mt. Fuji". So called because if the wind blows the trees there it looks like the waves at sea.

The age of the forest is estimated to be around 1200 years. This forest is known as a popular place of suicide in Japan.

Nobody dared venture into the middle of the forest except, they were truly brave and prepared for the possibility of not being able to return.

"He's there."

Taka smiled seeing a grandfather sitting under a tree while reading something.

"Oi, old man! Long time no see."

The grandfather then turned his head. His eyes then stared sharply while frowning.

"Hahahaha, you crazy kid. When did you wake up? Yes, long time no see."

Then, the old man stood up and approached Taka.

"Well, not too long ago. I felt that Hana had returned."

"Aah, I see. Alright. You seem to be impatient, huh? Hahahaha."

"Hahaha, you know."

Then, Taka glanced at the book held by the old man. Realizing Taka was paying attention to the book, the old man then showed it. A romance comic genre.

"Hehehehe, it's more interesting to spend time than sitting while counting trees."

Then, the old man named Sai showed another book which he kept under his clothes.

"Look, I have a lot! Hehehehe. People are very good at making entertainment these days."

"You've changed a lot, old man."

Yamato then approached Grandpa Sai and looked at his collection book.

"Well, so I'm not bored. Hehehe, and how are you guys? Almost five hundred years of waiting is quite boring, right? Why don't you look for entertainment like this too?"

"We have our own way."

Akuma replied while sitting on a rock.

"Ooh, like slaughtering all living things and destroying forests?"

"Ceh, it turns out you already know that."

"Well, the birds and the wind told me."

Akuma then turned towards Taka. And at the same time, Taka was staring at him. Make him immediately looked down with a scared face.

"Relax, he and Nue are just cleaning up the vandals. Hehehehe, it's fortunate to have them both there. So, the problem isn't widespread."

Realizing that Taka kept staring at Akuma, Grandpa Sai immediately took them to his house.

"Come on, I cooked something today."

The five of them then followed that old man.
