Familiar faces

note: the lil' snake means it's the stone!!

🐍"For those with no pacience, when the sun sets, the great first two shall be brought back. The forest will finally breathe again, as both of the present do their part". 🐍

- Shuichi! I don't think there's a way of misunderstanding this part right there! - Himiko exclaimed, placing her finger right above the "brought back" part

- I thought the same thing! But, do they mean the first two who died or ano-... Wait, this button wasn't before...

Shuichi expressed as they both notice the newly generated button sitting right below the text, shining with a green and sparkly light.

- I think we should just pressed it, maybe It sees us as a ally. - Shuichi, with his fingers on the button, said to the shorter girl

Said and done, the button was pressed, and another bit of text was generated.

🐍 "Very well. As the present ones complete their current mission, all of the beings who had passed will be given another chance, two by two. For the first pair to be brought back, nothing much will be necessary, but as the forest falls, it calls for favors, and, them who want those who had fallen back to life, need to complete said favors. " 🐍

- ... The button still shining... Should we press it again? - the girl asked her fellow classmate.

Both with their curiosities speaking more than any other thing, decided to press it one more time.

🐍 "Today, as the sun sets, plant berries, four steps to the west from the fallen building's entrance. Your desires shall be given, as both sides cooperate." 🐍

The button stopped shining, as the stone slowly goes back to the ground.

- A... A berry huh..? Shouldn't be difficult... - The taller one expressed, as he watched the rune slowly going into the ground...

- Yup! That's right! And the ones we got here are known for having waaaay too much seeds. Remember when we ate it yesterday? Yeah... My mom always said I shouldn't swallow seeds from fruits cuz it would grow in my stomach and I would instantly die... I wonder if that's tru-... OH! ALRIGHT! We need to tell Maki, especially since it should be around 2:00 pm right now... - Pointing to the sky, Himiko remembered the right thing to do.

- Right! Then let's get going!

With the fresh wind messing up their hairlocks but refreshing them from the heat, both started to go all the way back to tell their friend what has happened.

- Hey... Shuichi... Are we sharing this stuff we talked earlier with Maki or..?

- Um... I don't really care about it to be honest, if you wanna tell her...

-Oh, cuz I wasn't planning to tell anyone... Would you also not... Please..? It's not like I don't trust you, is that I... I think it would be better if someone told those things, that someone needs to be Tenko. I just told you cuz not only we made a little deal but... Nyeh... I felt like doing so.

- For sure, then! Not related but... We're almost there, aren't we? I'm started to get tired... At least the weather got a bit refreshing, nobody deserves walking with a 40 degrees sun with no water at all.

As the sun was almost starting to say its goodbye's, they arrived at their destiny.

-... Oh, hey... - The one with pigtails said in a calm, but excited tone. - Did you two find something interesting out there? I saw something shining from where you two were

- Oh... It's a long story, *giggle*. Do you wanna tell her, Himiko? - Shuichi said, trying to pass the ball out to Himiko. He felt way too tired to explain all of it to Maki.
