SHADOW

While they were searching they reached the dense part of the forest, and Dave illuminated a person with his flashlight.

"Guys, that looks like Yasu",

Dave said as they all turned to the dark cave because there was a figure standing like a shadow of a person.

"Come on, let's go"

They walked slowly towards the cave.

"Yasu! Yasu!"

Kagumi's call to the person standing in the cave.

"Why was he not moving?!"

And as they walked closer to the cave, they saw Yasu standing there and called out his name.

"Yasu, what are you doing here?" Kagumi spoke with a puzzled expression.

"Shhhh! quiet"

Yasu's answer hints at something going on around.

"Just be quiet. Do you hear any noise?" Yasu asked them.

"What noise are you talking about?"

"You keep going out, thinking you're so important." Hikaru said with a hint of anger.

"Huh? Who do you think was really worried when I said Yasu was missing—wasn't it you, Hikaru?"

"You didn't even wear slippers; you came here barefoot because you were in a hurry." Kagumi said that it was obvious he's teasing Hikaru and then laughed.

"Yes, that's right, she's really worried about you, Yasu."

Alice spoke sharply and looked at Hikaru with a piercing gaze.

"¡Ahhh! You guys are so annoying! I'm going back."

Just as Hikaru was about to turn around to leave, Yasu called out to him.

"Ahhh wait, wear my shoes; there are many thorns on the road; you might get hurt." Yasu said, then took off his shoes and handed them to Hikaru.

You could clearly see the excitement on Hikaru's face when Yasu handed him his shoes.

Dave and Kagumi, on the other hand, are hugging and jumping for joy.

While Alice is laughing.

"Huh? How about you? What will you wear?" Hikaru's voice was filled with concern.

"Ahh, I'm okay! It's no problem if I get hurt as long as you don't." Yasu spoke in a soft voice, staring at Hikaru.

Hikaru blushed after Yasu said that.

" Ahem,Ahem,"

said their three companions while laughing.

After Hikaru put on Yasu's shoes, they were about to leave when they suddenly heard a loud moan.

"¿Eh? What is that?!"

They said it together with surprise and a bit of fear.

"That's exactly what I'm talking about—the noise I mentioned to you."

"Earlier, when I was urinating, I heard a noise coming from this cave, so I went to check."

Yasu recounted in a soft voice.

"What could that be?" Kagumi's Speech

"Should we go and look?" Yasu said while complaining about the noise.

" yah!"

"Come on, it seems like the noise is coming from that direction." They both started looking for where the noise they were hearing was coming from until they saw a figure with its back turned.

"What is that?" Dave spoke in a soft voice while holding Kagumi's shirt.

"Shhh! Just be quiet." Yasu said while he was the one on the front.

When the monster with a terrifying appearance and sharp claws suddenly turned around.

Because of what they all saw, they didn't hesitate to run out of the cave.

"Hey, let go of me, Dave!" Kagumi shouted while Dave was holding onto Kagumi's clothes, which was why he couldn't run properly.

"Damn it,"

while Yasu and Hikaru were holding hands and running together.

"What is that? That's so unfair, Yasu!." Kagumi shouted as the five of them ran through the forest.

" Hey! Alice"

Kagumi also held Alice's hand.

And looked into her eyes, Alice's face blushed, and she also held Kagumi's hand tightly.

"Hey, what about me?" Dave's line while holding his chips tightly that he's breathless from running

[PHASE TWO] FOREST

While they were running, they were about to reach the bus they had boarded when Yasu shouted, "Old man, open this!"

While the five of them were outside the bus, they called the bus driver.

"¡señor! Open the door."

The bus driver immediately opened the door, and they got in.

"Why, what's happening to all of you?" asked the bus driver with a look of confusion and concern on his face while sitting in the driver's seat.

"¡Hoo! hoo! hoo! " the sound because of the pants running.

"Let me drink water first." Dave said while he was out of breath.

"What happened to all of you that you're all sweating?" The bus driver asked curiously.

"Ahhh! Earlier, we saw a monster." Yasu exclaimed breathlessly while sitting in the passenger seat.

A shock and fear on their faces is so clear.

"What monster are you talking about?" The bus driver's expression with a pinch on the face

"The monster in this place is real." Kagumi said with a hint of fear on his face.

While they're having a conversation

After a few more minutes, they heard the monster's growl outside.

The terrifying moan, they all turned silent just to escape the monster.

"What is that?" The bus driver asked in a soft voice.

"Shhhhhh," said Kagumi while lying down so he wouldn't be seen through the car window.

"Don't make noise; that monster has sharp hearing." Yasu whispered while lying down.

While the monster continues to circle outside the vehicle

The six of them are still quiet inside.

In the extreme silence, even the slightest sound they make could put them in danger.

When Dave suddenly farted loudly, it caused the monster outside to hear it.

"Sorry guys," "I can't hold it back anymore." Dave said his face was scrunched up because of a stomach ache.

"Damn it! really,! " They all looked at Dave at the same time!

"It still stinks! You farted!"

Because of the noise the monster heard, it jumped onto the roof of their vehicle.

and slowly destroying the bus roof.

"Old man, drive the car!" Yasu shouted in a hurry.

The bus driver hurriedly drove the vehicle.

while the monster was still above them and tore the roof of the vehicle.

The bus driver sped up and suddenly stopped, causing the monster to be thrown from the roof of their vehicle.

After that, the bus driver started the vehicle again while the monster slowly emerged from behind them.

The five of them were just watching the monster, which was far from them, slowly getting up from lying down, when it suddenly ran towards them quickly. Before the monster could reach them, they noticed that it was really fast.

"Wow, he's so fast!" Kagumi shouted with a mix of fear.

"Is it impossible to increase the speed of this vehicle, Old Man?" Yasu asked the bus driver while looking at the monster chasing them.

"Sorry, this is the fastest the car can go", the old man replied while driving, clearly scared of the monster.

"Uncle, where is this going?" Hikaru asked with a hint of curiosity while looking around.

"¿Eh? Ay, darn it, I didn't know this would turn into this way!" shout of the old man while driving

Due to a mix of fear and losing his composure, the bus driver forgot the way, and instead of going out of the forest, he ended up going deeper into it.

They are unable to turn around since the monster is pursuing them from behind; their only option is to keep driving and bide their time till daybreak.
