"Yes."
After receiving the memories, Higanbana nodded lightly... then immediately transformed into Rita's appearance. At least, ordinary people would be completely unable to tell the difference.
"Go!"
She nodded in satisfaction. With no more worries holding her back, she could now openly see what was inside.
Inside the cave, Rita sensed a familiar power... the lingering power of a god...
After Higanbana left using her appearance, Rita stepped into the cave as well...
As soon as she entered, she discovered that this was not an ordinary cave, but a passage leading to the other side of the mountain. It was just wide enough for two or three people to pass through. Because it was so dark, it gave people a fear of the unknown.
Without overthinking it, a scythe like that of the Grim Reaper appeared in Rita's hand. She watched the path ahead warily and advanced step by step.
She did not know how long she had walked—perhaps a few minutes, perhaps dozens. In any case, Rita had not encountered the slightest danger, aside from the occasional rat.
There were even quite a few cobwebs, but with Honkai energy protecting her body, Rita did not allow any of that filth to come near her.
Finally... Rita saw a blinding white light ahead.
"Is that the exit?"
Looking at the white light ahead, Rita's eyes widened slightly. She hurriedly quickened her pace and charged straight out.
After leaving the cave, Rita found herself in a very beautiful place. However, there was no one around, and it was exceptionally quiet...
She continued forward and discovered what appeared to be a village somewhat resembling ancient Japan. There were not many people in this village—perhaps not even a hundred...
Using her extraordinary speed, she made a complete circuit of the area.
