"Yes, time flew by wonderfully with Kikki," Ida couldn't help but agree as the trio walked towards the leaders' house. "And I almost traded your company for collecting flowers for healers, from which I might not have returned. It's good that I changed my mind."
On their way to the leaders' house, Ida had a great time with Neimus and Nounamous. Both turned out to be pleasant conversationalists, with whom she could chat about all sorts of nonsense without burdening her head. The girl didn't think whether this adventure was a one-time thing or if they would continue meeting with the warrior brothers. Nevertheless, she asked them not to make what happened at night public knowledge. It was wonderful and should remain just between them. Ida didn't want to suddenly receive a ton of invitations to spend time with every warrior she met or an entire group of fighters.
So gradually, Ida headed towards a meeting with Master Utar. Will he scold her for being absent for so long? Perhaps. But that is not her problem, but rather the problem of Ida from the future, who will safely reach the master.
