Cyanide and Kirika entered the forest without any hesitation, dauntless and fearless. For Cyanide, that was the norm—fear was an emotion unknown to him—but he was somewhat surprised this samurai girl could actually keep up with him. Not everyone could just waltz into a dangerous forest filled with unknowns so calmly, after all. Especially not in a world like Endzone, where all life had been turned into bloodthirsty killing machines.
"This forest… it's strangely silent," she said as the two walked along the open path surrounded by thick trees. "But… I can feel it. There's a dangerous being here, deeper inside. The aura is faint due to the distance, but I can still sense it. Can't tell what exactly it is, though."
"So you've noticed," Cyanide replied briskly, and carried on walking.
"Huh…? You're talking like you've noticed too." Kirika arched an eyebrow. "Just after that one session, you can already sense auras from this far away?"
