Chapter 26

Just be happy that you can fight the statue.

Yes, I am.

But now another question do you know where the hidden dungeon is?

Nope, no idea Suzu, do you know where it is?

Do you think I would ask you if I knew where the dungeon was?

Yeah that's right I didn't think about it and just talked and what are we going to do now Suzu?

We just go back through the swamp and see if we can find the dungeon again.

Is that your plan Suzu asks Mai.

Yes, that's my plan. Do you have another plan?

No, I don't have another plan. Mai says quietly.

Ok then, let's get back on mauzi's back or something, we'll be faster.

Mauzi was running next to Suzu the whole time but in his baby form.

Ok then, let's get you big again.

Meooow.

Mauzi turns back into a husky cat.

Come on Mai, let's go. Meow.

Suzu is already sitting on the back of. Mai comes flying and sits on Suzu's shoulder and says.

I'm ready to go.

Ok, let's go with Mauzi.

Suzu strokes Mauzi on the head and Mauzi starts to purr.

Hey meow we want to go not purr ok i can pet you later ok.

Meow.

Ok, let's get him in the swamp.

Mauzi runs and jumps into the swamp.

Hey mauzi don't be so quiet ok.

Says Mai with a loud voice that is a bit scary.

But mauzi just keeps running at the same pace.

Hey mauzi. Says Suzu and sticks his head forward and says.

Mauzi can you please walk a little slower Mai is a little scared.

Meow.

And Mauzi slows down a bit.

They walk through the swamp for a while until they come to a clearing.

Is that the same clearing as the one that leads to the boss, Mai?

I don't know.

And how do we find out Mai.

Yes, by running into the clearing and seeing if we get teleported like we usually do.

Yeah ok you fly ahead ok.

Ok but why am I scared?

No, I'm not scared at all.

Says Suzu with a bit of a shaky voice.

Ok, then I'll go first.

Mai flies into the clearing and it happens.
