Akira was grinning all the way to the lair. He led them through the barrier by creating a small door. Then all they had to do was follow him.
"I was wondering when you will show up. I was bored. You can not do anything more than kill goblins and beasts in the forest."
Is that not enough for you? Eya thought.
"What else did you do?" Kakashi asked.
"Nothing much. I went to the academy twice. Undercover."
"U-undercover?" Eya's eye twitched. "What about Kyo-san? Is he not giving you company?"
He shook his head. A sort of cave was visible in the fog.
"Kyo-san has been busy with him so he has not been spending time with me."
That silenced them. Eya and Kakashi exchanged glances. She wanted to ask how the process was coming out, but she feared to hear the worst.
Akira pointed at the cave's entrance. "We have arrived," he said.
