When Taisetsuna and the others joined Chujitsuna Hito and Tresuria on the other side of the tree, they all saw Chujitsuna looking up at the mountain and frowning.
She elbowed Tresuria and asked, “Do you see anything up there? Because the stench is making my nose want to leave my face!”
“Yes, it is indeed strong. Smells like… rotten flesh? Or is it death? But it doesn’t seem to come from up there, or else the smell wouldn’t be here. It is lower, maybe…”
Her eyes stopped on two big rocks that were leaning against the mountain. There was a small space between them, near the soil.
Tresuria approached and frowned. “It comes from here. Taisetsuna, do you think there is a cave after this and a big horde of Goblins is living there? And if it is, why didn’t the Academy do anything?”
