In the Forest of the Strong, Detective Little Girl and the Gold-Rimmed Glasses Man sat around a bonfire.
"We're running out of food."
Detective Little Girl sighed. Her once-fair face was covered in dust. Ten minutes ago, the two of them had encountered several "guests." The food those "guests" carried had caught their attention, so they had attacked them.

"Run separately!"
The Gold-Rimmed Glasses Man shouted and fled to one side, while
