Chapter 8: On a Hill
You were hiding in a tree and observing Peko. She looked around and doesn't see anything, and appeared to walk away until she pulled out her blade and cut down the branch you were standing on.
You controlled your position as you fell, and you applauded her.
"You're getting even better after we began training your senses. How'd you know I was in that specific tree? There are tons around us."
Peko: "Intuition."
"It has brought many members of my clan so far, although maybe I should just call it my family."
Peko: "You can call it whatever you want, for better or worse. Everyone is free of their traditions to live how they want."
"You're right, but we're still keeping the ninja training in our family."
Peko: "Don't lose that."
Peko walked and you followed her until you passed a tree and saw that she disappeared. You looked around, knowing that she's starting to pick up some of your skills.
Peko: "I can't believe I can do this as well."
You turned around, startled at her sudden appearance.
Peko: "This is going to take some getting used to."
"You're the one doing it. It'll happen naturally."
You and Peko walked down a path until you reached the top of a hill.
"For a hill, this is surprisingly tall."
Peko: "Mikan said the same thing. You know, after she fell down the path five times."
"Was she okay after that?"
Peko: "Physically, maybe. Mentally, that was gone long ago. Well, until she started getting it back."
"Being a ninja wouldn't be something for her, and Gundham often gets lost in his own world."
Peko: "A world where he apparently is fighting evil forces with demonic magic. Sonia is the only one who plays along with him. Not that I don't approve of it."
"Well, we all have our quirks. Some try to make it not noticeable, and some aren't afraid to show it."
You and Peko saw a good view of the city.
Peko: "Still can't believe how nice the city looks from here."
"My mom said she and my dad come here once a year. Their friends as well."
Peko: "I think we should head back now. Let's bring the others next time."
"With some safety gear for a few people?"
Peko chuckled.
Peko: "Yep."
You and Peko ran down the path and jumped into the trees. You quickly though them until you eventually returned to the city.
