The previous chapter, the red little bird lands in the open window of the bakery to watch Takami dancing with a tray of bread loaves and even mimics his movements, chirping and twirling on the windowsill before losing it's footing and falling into a bowl of flour that leave Takami laughing "nice dancing, but you know I'm better" he picked up the bird but bird shakes to dust itself off, sending a cloud of flour into the air.
"Nice, not even a spect of flour" he pets the bird before releasing it out the front door of the bakery "fly my pretty fly" so the bird is out but a round of gasps comes from a nearby crowd as half human who looks 16 featuring his ash blond hair, deep violent red eyes that has a horn on his forehead, running across the bridge through the center of town.
It stops to stare at Takami for a moment that leave him surprise "no way, I don't believe it!" But a group of hunters are seen chasing after the unicentaur. He tries to run away but is cut off by a man and he rears up and whinnies as he snaps a rope at it like a whip.
The unicentaur dodges him and runs down a nearby alley but one of the hunters pulls out a bow and nocks an arrow "Oi oi yamete! You'll hurt it!" But that man pays him no mind and looses his arrow, which the unicentaur narrowly dodges. He runs further up the street and notices a man hauling a cart of timber further up the road.
It nickers and charges the cart, sending the logs cascading down the road towards the hunters the unicentaur was smirking that he won that he had outwitted the hunters, the unicentaur prances in a circle with a grin on his face but destroy when a lasso suddenly snaps around the neck of the unicentaur, pulling it to the ground.
"Whoo yeah! I got it! A real unicentaur! This should fetch a pretty price, eh?" The lasso guy said but the unicentaur saw an axe lodged in a stump nearby and bolts towards it, using the blade to sever the rope between it and the man.
The man stumbles backwards and crashes into a crate of fruit which falls around him so the unicentaur hides around a corner to make sure he's no longer being pursued before making its way back towards the path out of town.
On it's way the unicentaur glances at Takami again before taking off into the forest but the rope around his neck gets caught on several branches and shrubs as it runs, and Takami is debating to go or not so he chooses to follow him into the woods.
It leads him further into the forest until stopping at a chasm bridged by a fallen tree, it begin to cross the tree towards the waterfall on the other side, but stumbles so Takami runs from where he was hiding towards the bridge to try and help it, but freezes when he sees the chasm below.
The unicentaur stumbles again and Takami rushes along the bridge to aid it "hold on!" He said but the unicentaur notices Takami and nickers, pushing himself to his feet before running the rest of the way to the other side behind the waterfall.
Using his horn it opens a secret passage into a cave, which it enters Takami is a curious bastard that he wanted to know and follows him inside before the passageway closes.
The cave was a short exit and its a beautiful sight to see hosting a lake surrounded by willow trees and glistening waterfalls, which Takami admires for a moment.
The unicentaur whine that made Takami stop admiring and followed where the sound is and he eventually finds the unicentaur again where the rope around his neck now tangled in a pile of brambles "hold still, I'm not gonna hurt ya."
"Easy for you to say you sumg little bastard! You're not getting strangled!" Takami was taken back how he spoke "such vulgar words" Takami said "you can talk?" The unicentaur scoff "well of course I can talk, I'm not a dumb little baby who can't speak baka" Seems that Takami is still speechless "oh for crying out loud, are you gonna stand around with your mouth open or cut me loose?"
"Alright then" but the unicentaur is getting impatient "oh screw it, yoaimo! I'll do it myself" and when he pulls on the rope and it tightens around his neck "WHAT IN THE HELL!!!"
"Hang on kid! I'll uh... cut it with something!" Takami said as he looked around "well hurry up!" Takami wanders around for a moment, looking for something sharp to cut the rope and he comes across a large tree, growing atop a square structure.
"Is my eyes fooling me?" Takami saw something shiny amongst the roots which catches his eye so he took his chance and goes to inspect it but he doesn't notice that he's being watched.
A mysterious floating woman with ash blond hair and a group of forest creatures are seen nearby, gazing at Takami as he approaches the tree "is my eyes deceiving? It's a human, a REAL human" coming from a green little sheep that keeps bugging the little skunk "I can see that Deku kun."
Takami finds the source of the glimmer, a teardrop shaped jewel is lodged between the roots and when he reaches out to take it that is when a fox poke Sero, a spider.
"No, no! Somebody stop him! Eeep! Tell me when it's over!" The little fox quiver in fear "stop overreact, Kaminari. Just watch." Sero calm him down and with no little time effort, Takami frees the jewel from it's resting place and the all of the animals gasp in surprise and the group watches Takami when he returns to the unicentaur.
This even surprised the unicentaur "no way!! Where the fuck did you get that?!"
"This trinket! It's by that huge tree over there" he replied and the unicentaur corrected him "I think you mean you took that out! YOU TOOK IT OUT?!"
"Is it possible of you to stop swearing?" Takami told him "if this help, I'll put it back" the Fairy Queen drifts over to them as Takami uses the Jewel's sharp edge to free the unicentaur from the hunter's rope.
"FINALLY!!! I'M FREE! HAHAHA!"
