Hey, Coe.

Hey, Kamui.

How long do you think it's been?

"Puypuy."

"Gaugau"

Don't you see? I don't know...

The number of branches that passed exceeded a hundred. Next one hundred and fifty-third. Yet there is no change in branches or scenery. As big as the school yard is, I can't see ahead.

There will also be every two events with Alec that were taking place every single climb, every five. It is now every ten bottles as if it were half obligatory. I know this is a bad sign...

"Hey, Curse..."

"Oh? No, I'm sorry... what?

Well, I can't stop being frustrated. I didn't mean to hit Alec...

"Oh, I'm sorry... don't be mad..."

"He said he wasn't angry. So, what is it?

"Well... when and how long are you going to climb..."

"Alec wants to go home now?

Damn, what the... aren't you coming with me everywhere...

"Well, it's not... it's just that it doesn't make too much difference... maybe you don't need anything other than climbing..."

Oh, well. That's a constructive opinion. I'm not upset either. I have to be positive.

"I see... that's Alec. That's a good idea. Then let's think about it. I wonder what else we can do besides climb?

If this is the game...... I guess we can go north, west, south, west or something, or suddenly get a goal with a weird bug......

"I'm sorry... I don't know..."

"Um, then let's wrap up the move. What we're doing is climbing. Then you can come down. Then move laterally. If that bothers you, you'll be able to circle the trunk. Then..."

"Like trying to get to the end of a branch?

"You're an ant for an idea. Then let's share roles. First of all, Kamui!"

"Gaugau"

"Will you try to go for the tip of the branch? You pulled the board from Kutanutsu to Kanto, didn't you? Can you try running that distance and come back if there's nothing?

"Gaugau"

The tip of the branch is hopeless, though.

"Ko takes a look around this branch. Ko can only do this.

"Puypuy."

I can't do it without Ko snapping upside down.

"I'll circle the trunk. Alec, count the numbers. Because I want to know how long each of you will be back.

"Okay.

"All right! Let's get started!

Damn, that's surprisingly difficult...... I tried it. Okay, but is it easier to climb a climb... lateral movement is difficult to confirm at your feet or at hand. Probably harder to get off.

Ha... I can't see the branches anymore. It hasn't been an hour since I felt physically... but this trunk is too thick. From the outside, it looked like it was over a hundred mails in diameter...

Two hours with a physical sensation. I finally see the original branch. It was dangerous to step off my foot a few times along the way or get it wrong, but I think I'll make it home safely somehow.

"Curse! Are you okay?!? I was so worried!

"Please wait. Almost there. Wait.

How long have I kept you waiting? Both Kamui and Ko are already back. Ko, anyway, isn't Kamui too soon?

All right, back to the branches. I'm pretty tired...

"Curse idiot! Because I was worried!

Alec jumped at me. I haven't had a bath for a long time, but it smells good.

"I'm home. How long have you waited?

"Four days! I thought you'd already fallen, 'cause I didn't care! Idiot!"

"Ha!? So much!? Seriously!?

"Yeah, look at this..."

Alec looked back and showed me the back of the sacred coat. There were doth black and snoring 'positive' letters...... twenty-three, inscribed.

I can't say I'm very fantastic about counting five using the divine letter 'positive'.

"Every time I counted three thousand and six hundred, I drew a single line. I thought I'd be back in a couple of hours due to the thickness of the trunk..."

That's what I thought too... that's four days... no, at least a hundred and fifteen hours, almost five days... seriously, what's going on here... I don't know what that means...

"More than that, Alec, this is no way with a finger..."

"There's no other way. You're going crazy because you're counting too much. What are you making me do!

"I'm sorry. You got a scratch on your pretty finger.

Let me lick you tight. Pepper.

"Already... idiot... Ko is back in about two hours. Kamui is two days old.

Two days at Kamui's speed......

"Kamui, how'd it go? Anything ahead?

"Gaugau"

Nothing... more or less said he came back because he ran a specified distance.

"Coe ever notice anything?

"Puypuy."

Nothing in particular... What the hell is this place...
