While Yoichi and Takamori were having a heated discussion about what to do, the branches of the peach trees above their heads moved slightly under the blowing wind.
A small demon bird was perched among the fragrant pink flowers. It had two small green eyes and a toothed black beak. A pair of legs with four clawed fingers, three pointing forward and one prehensile backward, held it steady on the branch.
Its appearance was identical to that of a robin and its size was also the same. Chirping, it turned its neck to one side and the other, alternately aiming its eyes at the two warriors sitting in the middle of the trees, as if it wanted to hear their words.
*chirp*chirp* - the robin demon's chirp was inaudible from Yoichi and Takamori. The sound of their words and the background noises coming from beyond the arena walls made that little bird practically undetectable.
