The Mourning Ceremony. Part 5

The group of 7 slowly got off an evening bus and looked at the sea. The sun was setting on the horizon so some of them wanted to take a stroll around the beach. But they were running out of time so Adonis advised them to start moving or else they might get lost in the forest. 

Slowly, they entered the forest and saw huge gates that lead to the mountain god shrine. Adonis knew where the house was going to appear but he wanted to make the trip like they accidentally found the house. 

"Mahiko, are you sure you want to go inside? It's a bit risky. We might get lost in the forest."

The girl who wanted to surpass Futaba at everything stepped forward and replied, "Hu?? I didn't know Futaba had such a lame weakness. Perhaps you're scared of the dark? How funny. Let's go guys, I will take the lead and find the house."

Adonis was left behind at the very end of the group. It was already dawn but the deep forest made the environment feel like it was already night.
