"Kaveh, your reaction is a bit too strong."
Cyno looked at Kaveh helplessly, then said, "Mr. A-Mao, do you have anything you want to say?"
Balladeer spread his hands and said, "My idea is very simple: there's no need to go to such great lengths to search."
"Since she has already obtained Xavier's authorization, then of course she can freely travel between the two worlds. Why should we waste our energy here in vain?"
Kaveh's eyes lit up: "That seems to make sense. If some special power could restrict Furina from traveling back and forth, then we wouldn't be able to deal with it, would we?"
"No, no, even so, we can't abandon our companion, can we?"
After Kaveh finished speaking, the usually rational Alhaitham also gave his opinion.
"From a rational and beneficial perspective, there is indeed no benefit in us searching for Furina."
"But considering that Xavier is our friend, we should not refuse his request."
"Furthermore, from an emotional perspective, those who are worried about Furina need action at this time, which can better comfort their anxious feelings."
Alhaitham's statement can be said to have analyzed both rationality and sensibility.
So, to summarize, even if Furina cannot be found, they must still go look for her.
The Inazuma team on the other side appeared more composed.
Even the timid Itto felt very secure at this moment.
Why? Of course, because the esteemed Raiden Shogun was also here, so he naturally wouldn't be afraid.
"Ei, how long are you going to keep up this act?"
Ei and Makoto were walking in front, when Ei suddenly said out of nowhere.
Makoto looked surprised: "Oh my, my dear friend, what are you saying? I don't understand a single word."
"You don't have to pretend anymore. From your performance, you must have known all along."
Makoto no longer pretended, and smiled: "Since this is also part of the game, then let's play it out. Why spoil the fun?"
Itto, who was following behind, was completely bewildered and whispered, "Kuki Shinobu, can you understand what they're saying?"
Kuki Shinobu was equally confused, shaking her head and saying, "How can ordinary people like us fathom the thoughts of the two esteemed adults? Perhaps they are looking for a way to find Ms. Furina."
"Wait a minute, what's that!" Yoimiya suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted.
The few of them turned their heads and saw light shining in the distance.
"That… looks like a light, doesn't it?"
Kuki Shinobu looked closely and felt it resembled a house.
"How is that possible? In the middle of the night, and in a forest like this, how could anyone be living here!"
Itto absolutely refused to believe anyone lived there.
"Whether someone lives here or not, we'll just go and see."
Yoimiya strode forward confidently, but Itto called out to her.
"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you really afraid of what might be inside? What if a legendary witch lives in there, and once we open the door, she'll feed us poisoned Apple!?"
It seemed that although Itto didn't usually read much, he knew quite a bit about these strange things.
"So what? What if Furina was tied up by this wicked witch?"
Yoimiya's words left Itto speechless. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow everyone forward.
Upon reaching the wooden house, they found that everyone had already arrived there.
And everyone was gathered at the entrance, seemingly looking at something.
"Hey, what are you all looking at!"
Itto squeezed through and found a wooden sign stuck at the entrance, with a line of text written on it.
"The Witch's Poison-Making Hut, do not approach, or you will be refined into dregs!"
After Itto finished reading, This Daddy, was so scared that I took several steps back.
"It's over, it's over! There really is a witch here, just as This Daddy, said!"
Xingqiu stroked his chin and pondered, "I never thought there would actually be a witch. A medieval castle, vampires, a forest, and a witch—this story is truly interesting."
"This isn't interesting at all!" Xiangling said, clenching her small fists, "If Furina is really in there, she might have already been refined into a medicine by the terrible witch."
"What? That's great! Then I can do business!"
Hu Tao was overjoyed, and was about to enter the door to collect the body.
"Strange, it's truly strange." Xavier was also baffled.
"How can there be a small wooden house in such a large forest? Does the witch not eat? Does the witch not drink water?"
It can be said that Xavier's thinking was very clear, but it must be said that these were questions worth pondering.
"Who's outside!"
At this moment, a very sharp voice came from inside the house, very similar to the witch's voice seen in anime.
"Ah, help!" Itto was so scared that he directly hugged a tree, "This is really a witch, let's run away quickly!"
At this time, the witch's voice came from the wooden house again.
"I understand, you are the fools lost in this forest, and you are looking for your companion, right?"
Xavier didn't know if it was true or false, but since the other party asked, he naturally had to answer.
"You are right, we are indeed looking for a companion, so have you seen her, or is her disappearance related to you?"
"Hehehehe…"
The witch's sharp laughter came from inside the room, and then she said, "If you want to know the truth, then come in, but remember only one person can come in."
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what kind of strange rule this was.
After the witch finished speaking, Xavier intended to step inside.
But unexpectedly, the witch added another condition: "Those who have the courage to want to enter cannot enter. You must randomly select one person to come in, otherwise, you still won't be able to know the truth!"
Xiangling said in despair, "This is clearly a witch! Besides a witch, who would set such a strange rule?!"
"Damn it, but there's no other way. To know where Furina went, I must go in!"
Xiangling gritted her teeth, then said, "Let's draw lots. Whoever draws the shortest lot will go in and ask for the truth!"
With that, Xiangling broke off many branches and placed them in a dark spot.
"Whoever gets the shortest one, that person goes in."
Itto, however, strongly objected: "Why? This Daddy, refuse!"
"It seems Itto, you are indeed still very timid. A single witch has scared you?"
Yoimiya once again used her goading tactic, and Itto once again fell for it.
"Hmph, how could This Daddy, be afraid? Come on then, who's afraid of whom!"
He jumped down from the tree and then began to draw lots.
Not long after, everyone held a wooden stick.
What Xavier didn't expect was that he had picked the longest one, almost taller than himself.
It was truly speechless, just a casual grab!
