Ganga welcomed Kenta to stay with him because his home made for a comfortable overnight stop, but the village elder was also pleased to have him.
After all, his traveling companions had warned him about Ganga's snore, and Kenta, for his part, was looking forward to a good night's sleep as much as anyone.
Ganga returned as he whispered something in Kenta's ear. 'Be careful not to touch Elder's lovely granddaughter; she is very young. Or else, you will be hunted down by the whole village, if she gets angry with you.'
Kenta questioned Old Man Sage about the granddaughter Ganga had told him about, and Old Sage grinned and explained how he had come to adopt a young girl from the lower world.
Additionally, she was out in the neighborhood with a group of young hunters whose mission was to collect medicinal herbs.
