Trey wasn't kidding when he said there were a lot of chestnut trees. The group walked to the nearest trees. Grim noticed one of the branches laying low near the ground.

"Whoa! There are a lotta chestnuts here! If we have this much, then it's all-you-can-eat marron tarts for us! Geheheh, let's hurry and- ouch! Gah! The chestnut's thorns dug into my pawpads!"

Once again, Yuu tended to their child, carefully pulling the thorn out and making sure the little monster could still walk.

"Looks like we can't pick them up with our bare hands." Deuce observed. "A bucket to place them in would be nice too."

"Maybe we can find those things in the botanical garden?" Ace suggested.

"Shall we go see?"


The gang decided to split up so they were able to cover more ground. The botanical garden was so big, they'd probably spend more time trying to find gloves and buckets than actually picking the chestnuts. Yuu and Grim walked around the inner gardens. There were tons of plants of different colors, shapes, and sizes. Yuu noticed some fruits that they couldn't recognize, they looked almost otherworldly. Well, they were in a different world, after all.

"Hey, come look at this, there's tons of fruit here! They smell so good."

"Oh god Grim, don't eat that please, I think I saw it mov-"

"Ow-!"

Yuu's head whipped around at the sound of another person's voice. They looked down to see that they stepped on a vine. On second thought, it looked more like a tail. The tail of a beast. Yuu began to tense, knowing they weren't alone.

"Hey. You've got some nerve stepping on someone's tail without apologizing."

The person rose in front of them. He was tall, and had...lion ears? The tail Yuu stepped on was gone in an instant, swept away behind him.

"Are you the guy tending to this place? Wow, you've got quite the scary mug."

"Grim, we're gonna get turned into fertilizer for the plants if you don't shut up."

"I went here thinking I could have a peaceful nap, but then my tail gets stepped on. This is the worst..." The man grumbled in annoyance.

OK that was my bad, but why is he sleeping here in the first place??

"Sorry, sir. We're kinda in a hurry, so if your tail is fine we'll leave you alone."

The man observed Yuu, making them squirm.

"You...Ah? You're the little herbivore that the Mirror said can't use magic. Hmph."

He began to inch closer to Yuu. Yuu stepped back, thinking they were going to get their shit kicked in. But instead, he began to sniff them. Yuu stood there in utter confusion.
