During the hike down from the woods, Windy continued, "We looked around and I asked some people. However, it seems that nobody has seen the snake."
"That makes sense." Willow responded as she paused having spotted a patch of cilantro growing on the side of the small stream and went to pick them, "Asking the people here and there won't be of much use. Otherwise, they would've already spread the words."
Willow carefully picked out the herbs and showed it to Windy who nodded her head in approval as Willow stuffed it into her bag. She continued with a frown, "So, have you encountered anything unusual during your hike with Akira? It probably wasn't easy since you're also looking for a snake."
"Yeah." Windy shook her head in disappointment, "I walked through the hills all day, but it was just a mess!"
