The rainforest is so beautiful. One the seven wonders, Arinnitti Rainforest. Such a sight. Marking that off my bucket list. I thought. Mommy look. Aunt Kaoru look. Tomoe yelled. I see it's beautiful. Saffron replied. It is. One Seven Wonders, Arinnitti Rainforest. The locals of the land come from the Ancient City of Taru. I replied. Wait you've been down there? Aoi asked. No, I would love to see the landscape. I replied. Would you like to go down there, Kaoru? Hedone asked. I wouldn't mind. I replied. Tomoe looked around. Grandma! Tomoe yelled. Hey mom. Aoi and Saffron replied. Tomoe looks confused. What's wrong Tomoe? Saffron asked. He's a smart child. Probably confused on Aoi saying "Hey mom." I replied. Are you saying no ever informed him that? Saffron asked. No. I replied. I'll inform him as we get back home. Saffron replied. You can but it will be weirdly confusing for him. Aoi replied. True on that. I replied. Tomoe grabbed Hedone's hand. Let's head out then. Hedone replied. Oh I've been meaning to ask. I replied. Yes? Hedone asked. Is my mom here? I asked. Yes she is. Actually I just ran into her. Hedone replied. I'm not surprised. My mom is mysterious even towards her own children. I replied. I'm not surprised Kaoru. She's a complicated woman who is been through enough tribulations in her life. She doesn't desire her children getting intertwined into it. Hedone replied. I see. I replied. Now let's go down to Taru. Kaoru your a translator, correct? Hedone asked. Yes, I am. I replied. Can you speak the language of the Tarulese people? Hedone asked. I never spoke the language but if they spoke to me I can understand and interpret. I replied. Wait seriously? Aoi replied. So Ren was telling the truth. Saffron asked. I speak and interpret many languages. That's what I went to school for. I replied. You majored for another reason right? Aoi asked. I was also tired of Ren's dumbass charging in without knowing what the locals are explaining to us. I asked. Really? Aoi and Saffron asked. Yes, the father of your child used to do that. Just embarrassing the hell out of me. I replied. I never knew. Saffron replied. Yes but I have a plethora stories if you'd ever want to hear. I replied. Oh when we get back I'd love too. Saffron replied. Same. Aoi replied. Now mind you. Ally was still an aide in training. She just got accepted early into a nursing programing in HQ. I replied. Always figure that. She never gave off combat fighter. Aoi replied. She had the potential to be one. I replied. Those days were simpler I suppose? Aoi asked. Yes. I replied. Saffron leaves Aoi and I alone. Where did Saffron go? I thought. She texted me.672Please respect copyright.PENANA3v0EcLMLjJ

Aoi sighs. What is wrong? I asked. It's nothing to concern you. Aoi replied. I put my phone back in my bag. He put his phone in his pocket. I saw the ancient writing on the markers. What does that say? Aoi asked. I meant for you to translate for us? Hedone asked. Sure. I replied. As we walked into the Tarulese barrier.672Please respect copyright.PENANACFHN6jNZ38
A lively bustling city that is full of life.672Please respect copyright.PENANA8024Sd38qj
A local came up.672Please respect copyright.PENANACZixnTWGhp
He says "State your name city dweller".672Please respect copyright.PENANACfKBufmLzE
"We are civilians that came to visit your beautiful city". I replied. He nods his head and let's us in. The man asked me "Are you related to Yumeko Tempus?" I replied with, "I am her daughter." What did he say to us. He asked why did we come here. I replied.672Please respect copyright.PENANACvQr9qM0B2
As we the man guided us through the city. I saw how beautiful this place is. I see why this is a wonder. I replied. He stopped at a shop that has their specialties, Shure.672Please respect copyright.PENANAga7IgjwPCd
Oh this is Ashure. I replied. What's Ashure? Aoi asked. Grains, dried and fresh fruit with nuts as well. I replied. I want to try. Aoi replied. I would like Four Ashure, please? I asked. The cook stated preparing the food for us. The man asked me a question. How do you know how to speak our language? He asked. I'm a translator. I replied. The Shure came out. First, Saffron let Tomoe try it. He smiled and ate more. Hey leave me some Tomoe. Saffron replied. Tomoe smiled. Aoi and I tried it. This is amazing. I replied. This is amazing. Aoi replied. My phone vibrated in my pocket. I looked at my phone.672Please respect copyright.PENANA6G0yR27802

After we ate Ashure we went to talk to the locals. I translated. The female population started to come over to Aoi. He shakes his head. The men glares were unreal. One guy said something in anger. What the hell did he just say? Aoi asked. He said "Stop attracting our woman to you. You accursed incubus!" I whispered in Aoi's ear. I didn't do anything. Aoi replied. What is going on? He didn't do a damn thing. Eshe said. Wait you can translate too? I asked. Kaoru is that you? Eshe asked. Yes it's me, Eshe. I replied. See your happier than before. Eshe replied. You could say that. I replied. It's been awhile Eshe. Saffron replied. Oh that's right. Last time we met, he was still in my tummy. Saffron replied. Wait that's the little guy? Eshe asked. Yes this Tomoe. Saffron replied. He's so adorable. Eshe replied. Tomoe turns around and waves at Eshe. Are you native of Taru? I asked. Yeah my family is from here. I grew up in Arinna. I came to visit my grandparents. Eshe replied. Oh that's right. I work full time as Commander of Unit One. I replied. Is he one too? He's easy on the eyes. Eshe asked. Yes. I replied. My name is Aoi Yoshida. I'm also Commander of Unit One. Aoi replied. Well since we're here let's go on a real tourist trip. Eshe replies. As Eshe said that. Aoi looked at me and I adverted my eyes.672Please respect copyright.PENANAc7JjV8b2bT
