CHAPTER FOUR - Han Gin Hebi Mushi
The rays of the morning light touched my face as my eyes slowly opened and saw Gaila"s face. Suddenly, I remembered what happeneed to Gaila last night.
"Gaila! Gaila! Are you alright? Gaila!"
Gaila slowly opened his eyes and got up.
"Nina. Are you hurt? I'm sorry."
"No, I'm not hurt. How about you? Don't apologize. You may be hurt too."
"I'm not hurt. I'm sorry I put you to danger. I won't use my wings again."
"It's alright. By the way, do you know where we are? "
He looked around the forest we are in. We may be midway from the han gin hebi mushi to the downhill which looks like a little village proximate a river. Suddenly, I felt the urge to urinate.
"Gaila, I need toilet. I'm going there" I said pointing my index finger to a shrub.
"I'll go with you. It's dangerous alone."
"No way! Even though you're a horse or a unicorn, you're still a male!"
"Male? Who said that? I'm a female"
"What?! I really thought you're a male"
"Do I look like a male to you?" she said with a saddened voice
"Well, no. I'm sorry Gaila" I said while embracing her.
My plan to go behind the shrubs didn't happen. I found a toilet near us, which is just a makeshift toilet - a dug soil, and peed. I was still thinking about the laboratory that we've seen last night.
"Say, Gaila. Are you really born with the ability to talk?"
"Well, yes. In our generation, hybrid animals like us already have the ability to talk. But some legends say that a priestess granted a purebred the ability but died. Fortunately, that horse was pregnant and the pony got the ability. I'm not sure how it happened."
"Do you remember the room we entered last night?"
"Yes. The room which has a lot of extinct purebreds."
"I want to go back there and search for more data"
"But there are hanginhebimushis"
"We just need to sneak in. I need to k now why they abducted me. I need to know the reason behind their colony in the coliseum which has purebreds."
"Are you sure about that plan?"
"Yes. I'm really curious. There are so many of them yet only one got me. If they're hungry they should have eaten me already. When I gained my consciousness, they're asleep."
"Maybe they wanted to add you in their purebred collection?"
"Possible. And what will they do after."
"Alright. I'll go with you, but first, we need to eat."
"What and where?"
"Here in the forest. Let's hunt for food"
"Hunt? Aren't you a vegetarian?"
"Well, we are omnivores."
"Oh, geez. Let's just look for fruits, vegetables or root crops. If I had brought a canned beans, this wouldn't be a problem."
