Chapter 13:

Witch hunter getting closer

Maki


"Wow, is this a cave? It's really big. Let's enter it, It's full of frozen monsters. This might just be what I'm looking for. Witches were here some time ago, and this is the proof." Starts laughing. "This is the best proof! I can track them."


Meanwhile, in the forest...


"Maki, look at this flower. It's like it's pointing to something." As Maki and Rina approached the flower, they noticed that it seemed to be glowing faintly. Intrigued, they followed the direction it was pointing in and soon found themselves standing at the entrance of a cave.

Maki hesitated for a moment, but Rina entered the cave without hesitating. Maki followed her. As Maki entered the cave, she was hit by a blast of cold air, causing her to shiver. "Rina, aren't you cold? Let's just turn back. We're going to freeze."

Rina didn't answer and continued to move forward, and Maki had to follow her while shivering. As they made their way deeper into the cave, they saw that it was full of ice spikes and snow. Suddenly, Rina started laughing and pointed to a corner of the cave. Maki looked at the corner and saw a shrine. Maki got scared and backed off. "Rina?"

Maki heard an echoing sound. "Oh, two little kids. I wasn't expecting this. And it seems like my mind control worked." 

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"I managed to control your friend really easily. I thought she was a small animal since your friend had almost zero willpower."
