In the forests of Matsuzawa.
Countless humanoid shadows wander around.
In the woods, on high branches, there are shadows of Leech People everywhere.
They move swiftly, their muscles actively writhing as they move.
The act of Kanoya burning down the village canteen was a serious taboo, now all the Leech People of the village have mobilized.
Chasing the targets ahead in the forest for a while, the large group of Leech People suddenly stops.
"Heh… Heh…"
The Leech People tilt their heads back, their disc-shaped mouths and nose with just two holes open and close, coupled with their moist skin's sensitivity to the air, indicating from this position, their prey has chosen to split up.
Probably running towards the eastern and western sides of the forest.
There are fresh scents, or pheromone remains, on both sides.
And more suspiciously, there are the scents of that human girl in both directions.
