Problem Children x Mute, but OP Character.

Chapter 3: The Truth... Who Cares?!

Yes this will be a multi-upload. I actually started writing this FAR before starting Wattpad. So all I had to do was simply Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V.

...That is all.

"How far on earth did he get!?"

It was nearly half an hour ago that Kuro Usagi started looking for the two missing kids, Sakamaki Izayoi, and Yato Hajime.

It probably didn't look as much of a distance from 4000m in the air, but from the lake they fell in, the [Edge of the World] was extremely far. Since you have to cross the forest to get there, it is doubtful anyone could reach it on their first try.

'Furthermore, this area is part of a particular kind of deity's Game Territory. If they talk him into participating in a Game...'

His safety was even more at risk now.

She started running with increased haste, but when she heard eerie moans from the forest around her she stopped in her tracks.

"Rabbit" "A rabbit is here" "A [Moon Rabbit] in this remote region!" "Just like the kid said" "Should we try to slow her down?" "Challenge her in a Game?" "Against the [Moon Rabbit]?" "But challenge her in what subject?" "Strength?" "Knowledge?" "Or maybe Valour?" "Impossible, either way there is no chance for us to win"

Various murmurs were heard here and there.

It was understandable. After all, rabbits were called the [Highborn of Little Garden], they were of noble birth. In addition to their small numbers, they rarely go outside Little Garden.

Many evil spirits of the land gathered to take a quick look at the unexpected Rabbit visitor.

"Errr... Wise beings of the forest! Sorry for the sudden question, but did you see someone go through this way by chance? They are two human boys. Would you be so kind to point me in the right direction?"

"....." "........." "..........."

"I could be your guide, if that's alright with you, Kuro Usagi-Ojousan"

From the thicket, a reserved voice and the sound of hooves could be heard, very different from the evil spirits around. The one who appeared was a blueish-white colored horse with a horn reaching out of its forehead-- a type of Mythical Beast called a Unicorn.

"Thi-This is quite the rarely seen individual! The 'One-Horn' Community should be more to the south as I recall..."

"I could ask you the same thing. It is unexpected to see a Rabbit to the east of Little Garden. I thought it was only possible during official Games between Communities-"

The unicorn shut itself before changing the subject.

...Well let's not pry further to each others business. If you are looking for two boys I have in mind, then he should be in the same direction I'm headed. It seems he challenged one of the Masters of the Forest, in other words a Water God."

"Uwaa"

Kuro Usagi fell on her knees looking like she could faint at any time. At the steep cliff side called the [Edge of the World], was the Great Waterfall of the immense river called Tritonis that divided the world of Little Garden into 8 parts.

Dwelling in that area could only be the Dragon or the Serpent God from the Water God kind.

"Why... Really.... Why did those Problem Children....!"

"There is no time to weep now. If that boy is your acquaintance, then we should hurry. Only the strongest survive the Game of this area's Water Gods. We may make it in time. Climb onto my back."
