The situation

"Did you find what you are looking for?" asked Delilah.

She still hadn't been told what Roy was seeking in this part of the summer land. She just knew that it was something incredible, more so than the idea of getting into the Ashen Land and exploring it.

"No." Roy shook his head at her words and said, "It's not here either."

He felt dispirited. They had been going around for a while but were yet to catch a single sign of the Seven Stars and Three Blessings Fruit.

Delilah's mood was as bad as his. Her slightly furrowed brows were a telltale sign that she was internally frustrated, although she wasn't trying to show it.

The reason she came out so late at night was to have an adventure; what she was getting, though, was a wild-goose chase.

A bad taste was left in her mouth at the thought of exchanging her sleepless night for something fruitless.
