Delivering the pouch

Having traversed the same path twice already, I didn’t have any difficulties going through it anymore. After a few minutes of walking, I emerged from the straight path through the woods. Upon making sure that no one was around, I turned to the direction where Shiina should be waiting.

No surprises were waiting for me there. As I passed the curve that would lead me straight to their cabin area, the figure of the young woman waiting there appeared in my vision almost instantly.

Likewise, she also spotted me without any difficulty. She’s probably staking out here for me.

Shiina waved excitedly as she waited for me to close our distance. She’s still wearing the same attire as earlier. There’s nothing sexy about it but her posture suggested otherwise. I don’t know if that’s intentional or not. Maybe this is her way of welcoming me?

Uh. Let’s not assume that.

“It’s great seeing you, young man. Did you bring it with you?”
