“I thought you said this was a shorter route.” Hana said. “I thought it was. Sorry if I haven't been to the Ishikari River recently enough to know!” Towairaito retorted. It had been quite some time since the three had started their trek towards the Ishikari River. Key word quite. Akutare sighed. “Perhaps we should take a break?” the otter yokai suggested. “We have been walking for hours.” Without waiting for a response, the Kawauso abruptly sat down. “It's not that bad of an idea.” Hana pointed out. Towairaito sighed, giving up, and sat down. Hana followed suit.
The three decided to eat while taking their break from journey. After they had finished eating, Akutare spoke up. “My short legs may be slowing us down a bit. Perhaps we should get a ride -” Before Akutare could finish the sentence, Towairaito had changed into his wolf form, stuck his muzzle underneath the otter yokai, and then jerked his muzzle upwards, causing the Kawauso to flip through the air and land on his back. Towairaito then started to run in the direction of their destination. “This isn't what I had in mind, but this'll work.” Akutare said. Hana ran after the two. They soon made it to the Ishikari River. “Thank you both for your help.” Akutare said. “Of course.” Hana replied. Before anything else could be said, the ground shook, causing Towairaito to lose his balance and fall into the river. There were some ripples in the water, then suddenly, what appeared to be a giant catfish flew out of the water. Hana quickly sensed what it was and shot it with one of her arrows. The creature hit the ground, dead. A family of Kawausos slowly came out of hiding. “It has been destroyed.” one of them murmured. The family, along with Akutare, turned to Towairaito and Hana and bowed their heads. “Thank you for slaying the Onamazu. It has been causing us trouble for quite some time.” one of the Kawauso said. “It wasn't that big a deal.” Towairaito said. “It kind of is.” Akutare said. “In appreciation for the help, if you ever need my help, just ask and I'll gladly be of assistance to you.” “We will keep that in mind. Thank you.” Hana told Akutare. She turned to Towairaito, then the two walked off.
