Death Period

Chapter 22

They wander through the forest.

"We have talked so much and didn't collect any fruit." Rose determines.

"We would have if you didn't talk so much." Rafael clarifies.

"Would you like to have your cheeks pinched again?" She threats.

"It's okay, I will shut up."

"Thank you."

"What about our decision?" Laura asks.

"Which decision?" Rose asks back.

"You all know what I mean. We wanted to sleep one night and then decide if we want to set out to the other world." Laura remembers.

"Oh, that's right. I want to visit the second world. I don't know what is about you." Rafael stares at the others.

"Yes, why not?" Rose agrees.

"I also wouldn't have a problem with that. What about you Laura?" Ned asks her.

"I will also do it. After all I was the one who remembered you on that."

"If so then now we have a new target. Everything will change."

"Yes, I know. But we should accept it."

"Hinaba will tell us everything. What we have to expect on our mission and what is all about this girl in the picture. Although I am afraid of risking a throw out."

"You are right Ned, but isn't it worth it, I mean Rafael is on the same opinion like me. Only Rose and you have doubts."

"I don't have doubts...I mean yes, I have doubts because we fought the last time too much about our life. By the way I am ready to do such a huge mission like visiting the other world. That should be enough."

"Talking of the other world, how you imagine does it look there?" Rafael asks the group.

"I only can imagine that it must be gigantic there and that there must be many houses, streets and vehicles like a city looks so, only even much bigger." Rose answers.

"We will see when it's nearer the time."

"But I am wondering why Hinaba can't do it herself." Laura deliberates.

"Good question, but I think we will know it only if we ask Hinaba." Rose says.

"Probably you are right."

They hurry up and collect all the fruits that they need until it's evening.

"Okay now we have everything." Ned says while he looks at the list.

"It took long time." Laura finds.

"Yes, but now we are finished."

"If we are back at Hinaba's house at first I will take a little break. Then we can talk to Hinaba as far as I am concerned."

"Me too." Rose agrees.

They get back to Hinaba's house and Rafael knocks. Hinaba opens them the door.

"Oh you are back how I see."

"Yes, we are back and we brought the fruits." Rose hands the with fruits filled basket to Hinaba.

"Oh thank you. Today there will be a feast. How about that Rose and Laura help me in the kitchen to prepare the food and you two go upstairs and take a break?"

"That sounds great." Rafael finds.

"But I also need a break. What about if only Rose helps you in the kitchen?"
