109 – The Waterfall

That witch was silent, looking into my eyes for a few moments. Then, she shook her head. "There's none. Because, again, we don't really know whether that thing exists. We've only heard the claims of a few people."

I stood up, turned my back on her, and massaged my forehead. Damn it. Should I give up on returning to the future? As Ayre said, I can start from scratch in this era.

No.

"At the very least, tell me the location of that thing," I asked with trembling lips. "You know that, right?"

Faye was silent for a few more moments. "They say the giganpoppy is in the vicinity of an unnamed waterfall to the southeast, eight days' journey by horse from here. However, we don't know the exact location."

"So, all I can do is scour that area until I meet the effects of that thing? And even if I find it, we don't know how to get out of it?"

"More or less."

The anger inside me bubbled up, making me kick the wooden chair until it shattered.

Why? Why are things not on my side?
