Mio pov: I caught up to Ollie and Matsuri-senpai before her group had left and told them I'd help them look for Fubuki since I know where she is.
I began leading them, but soon I sort of regretted it.
"Are we there yet?" Matsuri-senpai cried
"No..." I groaned
"How about now?" She asked again.
"Still no," I said.
"How about now?" She yelled
"No, what don't you understand about that two-letter word?" I asked
"I don't know." She stated
She is lucky. I am a friendly wolf, or she would be my dinner for tonight.
"Mio-senpai, you could have helped us back there," Reine told me as she approached me.
"Look, I didn't know Roboco-senpai was rampaging!" I told her
"I'm joking, and I hope we can be friends despite the fact that you almost killed me," Reine laughed.
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that," I told her.
"It's not that big of a deal; I understand that you were just trying to test my strength and all that," she said.
Reine is very perceptive, which is good since most of her friends seem to be the opposite of that, at the very least.
"So how far in is Fubuki-senpai?" Reine asked
"She is just a little around the bend, by the way, where is Oga?" I asked
"Good question," Reine said.
"It doesn't really matter," I told her.
I led them all out of the deep forest to the other side. This was like a wonderland to us; it was peaceful and serene, not unlike the main area of the mystical forest, but this is more secluded, so we like it more.
"Hi!" Fubuki yelled as she jumped down. "Matsuri?" She said in shock
"Fubukiiiiiiiiiii!" She screamed
She ran at Fubuki, who dodged, causing her to faceplant into a tree.
"As hopeless as ever," she sighed.
"I'm not hopeless!" Matsuri-senpai yelled
"You sure aren't..." Fubuki said sarcastically
"Alright, mission complete, you can leave now," Matsuri-senpai said.
"No. This wasn't the deal!" Ollie yelled
"If I remember correctly, the deal was that you helped me find Fubuki and nothing else," Matsuri-senpai said.
"She got you there," Anya said.
"What the hell, why are you just trying to leave!?" Ollie yelled
"Why wouldn't I? We don't need to travel together anymore, Ollie." Matsuri-senpai said
"What the hell!?" Ollie yelled
"Look, you need to leave now." Matsuri-senpai said
"Come on, Ollie, drop it," Reine said.
"Matsuri-senpai, why are you so adamant about them leaving all of a sudden? You weren't mad before," I pointed out.
"It's just that this is sacred land," Matsuri-senpai said.
That was true; this is sacred land; however, it is odd that she all of a sudden wants nothing to do with Ollie and the others.
"Ollie, why do you like her so much?" Moona asked
"I've known her ever since I was Olivia!" Ollie said loudly:
"We all know that part," Reine said.
Ollie looked at everyone in disbelief.
"Look, I want everyone to just be nice to one another!" Fubuki yelled, "I noticed her eyes have turned crimson red."
"Be careful; don't let her out," I said.
Fubuki calmed herself down by breathing in and out.
"I'm calm," she told me.
I didn't want her to get too excited or too mad; if she did, then we might all get caught in her wrath.
"Matsuri-chan, can you go get me a snack?" Fubuki asked
"Sure?" She said she was confused by the honorific this late in the game.
"Why did you send her away?" I asked
"I want to talk to you guys," Fubuki said.
"About what?" Reine asked
"Well, you see, I want us to all be the best of friends," Fubuki said.
"What do you mean?" Anya asked
"We'll be good friends if we just stay here for a few months, maybe years," Fubuki said.
I glared at her and laughed, "Are you kidding?" I asked
"Partially," she said softly.
"Was that the other you talking?" I asked
"Maybe," she said.
"Don't let her come out." I said
"I can't promise you anything," Fubuki replied.
"Why is everyone off their rockers recently?" Risu asked
"No idea," Iofi said.
Usually Fubuki isn't like that; she clearly is excited because of the number of people here; it's just instinct for her; she is too happy.
"I just need to tell you there is no way in hell you are getting Matsuri out of here," Fubuki said.
"Well, help me then!" Ollie yelled
"Well, it's her decision to be honest," Fubuki said.
"That is true," Ollie sighed.
I kind of feel bad for Ollie, but she really shouldn't have trusted Matsuri-senpai. She is known to not finish making deals. She thought that Matsuri-senpai would go back with her, but she is wrong.
"Now what?" Reine asked
"We convince Matsuri-senpai to come with us!" Ollie said
"You know you can visit?" Matsuri-senpai said as she approached us and handed Fubuki meat.
"This is a sacred area; it's hard to find," I said.
"Yeah but..." Matsuri-senpai didn't know what to say to this.
I sighed and just decided not to push further. Matsuri-senpai is going to be stubborn; there is nothing I can really do about that. Both sides are in the right because both of them wanted to see a specific person a lot.
I need to find a way to make both sides happy. We need to defuse this situation because if Fubuki gets too excited, she may end us all.
She was in a good mood, but even that could be bad. I have to make sure she doesn't get over a certain level. When will she reach it? I have no idea.
If her hair turns black and her eyes turn red, I'll know to calm her down.
"Let's go inside," Fubuki told me.
I nodded and looked around. I wonder where the other two are, I thought as I went inside with them.
