"Fuu~ Finally ... I feel refreshed once more."
After drinking enough water from the lake in front of him, Zen started walking away from the lake's edge. He looked for a tree that could make sheltering him from the sunlight, and also rested his body and legs that feel achy.
After leaning his back on the tree, Zen began to rest his whole body.
He enjoyed the wind and the smell of the forest he felt right now, very natural, and also very refreshing. He thinks that he is starting to feel in love with the fresh air he breathes at this time.
Suddenly, ten minutes passed quickly.
Coincidentally, just then, he saw something.
"Hmm?..."
"Is that a human? No doubt, it's a human! Thank God!"
In a hurry, Zen immediately stood up and ran towards the man who walked quite far from his current position.
"I won't get lost again!"
While running, Zen shouted at the man. At least loud enough to be heard by him.
"Hey, sir! Wait for me!"
As if aware of the sound produced by Zen. The man began to stop his footsteps, his back began to turn, and his eyes met the mysterious man who was running towards him.

"Hello sir, what do you need from me?"
With a cheerful voice, a little boy no more than thirteen years old said with a big smile to the mysterious man in front of him. The man looks a few years older than him.
The little boy carried a fishing rod that he put in the bag behind his back. He wore boots with long sleeves, shirts and green shorts.
What's more interesting is his hair, his hair standing straight. It makes Zen feel a little familiar and also feel weird.
'This little boy speaks the language ... Japanese? I-Is this...'
Zen muttered to himself, right now, he didn't know what happened to him. Is he in a forest located in Japan, or just this boy speaks Japanese so good?
"Well, I thought you were an adult person before, I'm sorry, little boy."
Zen smiled and said to the little boy in front of him; he speaks with him in the Japanese language that he was a little bit capable.
With a little laugh, Zen scratched his temple with his index finger as he apologized to that boy.
Although he had studied Japanese for quite a long time, he still had a slightly weird pronunciation. Therefore he hoped that the little boy understands what he was saying.
"Really? No problem. Hehe."
The boy shook his head while smiling.
'Is my Japanese not rusty?'
Zen said to himself.
