Ryūsetsuna and Chiyo raced along, searching for Muku, who was controlling the Box of Paradise. By then, the sky had grown darker and darker.
As she looked around, Chiyo said, "It's getting dark!"
The support troops had already arrived at the Grass Country camp in the evening. After the battle delayed them for a while, the last traces of sunset had vanished, and the night sky had turned completely dark.
