Chapter 9 - Touch Game 1

*Saka walks tiredly towards the riverbank*

Saka: Are we there yet?

Purple Giant: No, but we're so close, Saka.

Saka, then, I want to rest. *Saka sits on the ground after the hard walk*

Purple Giant: Saka, you'll rest when we arrive. We've literally only arrived a few... *Saka shouts, interrupting him*

Saka: A few what? Miles! Days! Or do I have to walk with you across another river! Huh!! Answer me!!!!

Purple Giant: A few steps, Saka, a few steps. Just look ahead. Do you see that tree? That's what I want to reach.

Saka: Ohhh, it's so close! Okay.

*Saka walks towards the tree*

Saka: We've arrived. What now?

*The giant coughs, clearly in favor of saying something, but knows Saka will explode with anger*

Purple Giant: Uh-huh... you have to... climb it.

Saka: You're kidding. I've walked for miles and fought a snake, and now you're telling me to climb this disgusting shit.

I won't.

Purple Giant: Saka will cut off my connection with you as soon as the things that have the ability to reflect images disappear. I could have let you take a shortcut to the tree, but I really wanted to talk to you. I know that at the top of this tree, there's something that looks like a tunnel. I want you to go in with it. Don't worry about anything inside, except for one thing: darkness.

Saka: Are you sure it's safe?

Purple Giant: Sort of.

Saka: Sort of...!!

Purple Giant: Yeah, sort of. Bye, Saka. And don't forget to walk straight. *The giant's image fades from the river's surface, leaving Saka wondering whether to enter the tree or avoid it.*

The scene shifts to the armored soldier walking by the river and seeing the remains of the fish Saka ate.

Armored Soldier Vetscu: No, so the monsters are roasting fish?

Well, that seems to be where I'm looking for...
