翁公和媛媛在厨房里猛烈进出

"Look, do you really still believe I did this?"

"...I guess not."

It seemed like Lily hadn\'t hit her head too hard when the carriage flipped over, as she had enough reason to deduce that I wasn\'t at fault.

Seeing the cloud of dust spread towards the driver\'s compartment with my enhanced eyesight, I crouched down and jumped upwards.

Going straight through the hole that my tentacles had made, I landed on the exterior roof of the carriage.

Looking around, I saw a waterfall and a large clear nearby, and besides that, there was a gigantic forest surrounding us.

Using my eyes, I tried to peer through the trees and to the edge of the forest, but the forest was so big that even my enhanced eyes couldn\'t reach its end.

Above me, the sky was a bright blue with no clouds in sight, and the sun shined right down on me, causing me to start sweating immediately.

I wanted to remove my sweatshirt... but my cat was sleeping, and I didn\'t want to wake it up...

From below me and inside the carriage, Ruby\'s voice rang out.

"See anything up there?"

Shaking my head, I replied.

"It\'s just a forest and a cliff, nothing unusual."

However, as I continued surveying my surroundings, my thoughts became distracted and abstract.

Sighing, I realized this would only slow down the time I would take to figure out our situation, so I inwardly told myself.

"Fine... I\'ll do it!"

Crouching down again, I looked back inside the carriage through the hole before reaching my hand downwards and saying.

"Here!"

As the three girls stared at my hand in confusion, I looked away from the hole to avoid their gazes and asked.

"Two pairs of eyes are better than one... does anyone want to look outside as well?"

As silence descended in the carriage, I didn\'t dare look inside to see what was going on; instead, I continued dangling my hand.

Surely, this would work, right...?

Still looking away from the carriage in silence, I felt a warm sensation enveloping my hands as some pressed them to mine.

Interlocking our fingers, I pulled the hand upwards with my awakened strength, raising them through the hole in the roof.

But... the figure that was the hand\'s owner was not who I was expecting.

Instead, on the roof next to me stood Lily, whose dazzling blue hair was rustling in the spring breeze.

Well, my thoughts were back on track, so I wasn\'t necessarily mad, but I felt a small disappointment when I looked at Lily next to me.

Yet, even with that feeling, as Lily\'s ocean-blue eyes met mine, I felt memorized and could not force myself to look away.

Letting go of Lily\'s hands and un-interlocking our fingers, I finally gathered the energy to look away and continued surveying our surroundings.

Beside me, Lily did the same, except I would catch her occasionally gazing at my back with a confused expression.

*BAM*

Back inside the carriage, the sound of things loudly moving around echoed, presumably from Ruby and Alya helping the rest of the main cast to stand up.

After a few moments, I looked back in the carriage and saw Irene waiting inside with Liam, Kevin, and Zach behind her.

The three of them were covered in bruise marks from falling, and their clothes were a mess, crumpled up and stained from the complimentary snacks.

Liam gazed at my unbrushed and unblemished clothes with a malicious glint in his eyes, causing me to awkwardly avert my gaze.

Leaving the job to Lily, I jumped off the carriage and onto the ground, making sure to avoid the holes that my tentacles had made in the ground.

Using the shade of a nearby tree to avoid the sun\'s rays, I took out my smart watch and attempted to use it, but unfortunately, there was no service.

The humans wouldn\'t dare put telephone poles this near to the barrier between them and the demon realm, so it wasn\'t surprising.

Leaning against the tree log, I watched everyone, one by one, jump off the carriage and onto the ground with annoyed expressions.

Once again, leaving the job of explanation to Lily, I climbed up the tree, standing on the highest branch, to get a better vantage point of the forest.

There were no concerns about water or food since a waterfall was nearby, and we were in a forest with animals.

If there were no external variables, we could escape this forest and head back to the human realm with ease.

Of course, considering that our carriage had been somehow teleported over ten thousand meters, it was safe to assume that at least one variable was present.

Manifesting a corrupted crow, I sent it flying up into the air and only stopped it when it reached the sky\'s height.

Making sure my branch was stable, I exchanged bodies with the crow for a second before instantly switching back.

Catching myself on the branch, I sighed as I realized I hadn\'t discovered anything, even with the crow\'s vision.

Keeping the crow alive, I sent it flying towards the waterfall and cliff while heading back down the tree.

Jumping down from the lowest branch, I saw Lily and Ruby walk over to me while the rest stayed by the carriage.

Shrugging my shoulders, I said.

"Nothing new."

Before Lily and Ruby could reply, Kevin\'s voice sounded from behind us.

"We\'re a bunch of damn awakened with superpowers... why don\'t we just... leave the forest? I mean, it\'s not rocket science; let\'s just keep walking in a direction until we\'re out of this damn place."

Kevin\'s solution had many problems, as wandering around in a forest with no information was practically asking for trouble, yet it was the only solution.

Staying still would do nothing but waste time.

Nodding my head to Lily and Ruby, I said.

"I agree with him."

We were the strongest D-ranks in the entire world in some mundane forest... escaping it should be easy.
