fear was apparently gone and she felt very good. "We should be there soon," replied Kami, as he was pushing the branches of a tree that stood by the way aside. A faint splash, louder than that of the many fountains, could be heard and Shinyu concluded that the river wasn't too far away. Indeed, after just a few steps, they could see a river bathed in a bright, silver light. It had to be the Sawa River. From his belt, where he had already fetched the knife, Kami pulled a small vessel that looked like an Erlenmeyer flask (spherical belly with a pipe on top). "You have to be careful that you only use certain vessels.Because otherwise something could be conjured up. Somehow the gods are angry ... ", Kami explained and stepped closer to the river. The river was surrounded by beautiful stones that glittered brightly in the evening light and looked like precious stones. Kami knelt in front of it and dipped the vessel into the water The previously transparent vessel turned a bright yellow. "Wow, I have to remember that for chemistry! ", Shinyu marveled and also went to the clear water," If I ever come home again ... "Shinyu stood on a slippery stone because of her clumsiness and slipped." Wah! ", she yelled as she touched the ice-cold water with her shoes. But it was as if she were standing on the water. The cold of the water practically passed into her feet." Brrrrr ... Is that cold! "Shinyu shouted and quickly jumped onto the stones again. And this time, luckily, on one that wasn't slippery. She was fascinated and pressed her hand onto the surface, which didn't give way and remained firm as if it were made of ice.Kami shook his head and put a cork on the jar and put it back on his belt. "That's it now? All the long way, just to avoid getting a thrill? Just slapping around stupidly? Just riding idiot and Nansensu? I would have imagined this world to be much more exciting ...", Shinyu grumbled. "Yes, I know," Kami replied weakly. The way back was actually much easier. The land after the barrier was child's play, and Shinyu wasn't the least bit afraid to go through the barrier again. And she even liked the "immersed in - warm - honey" feeling. After the barrier it wasn’t difficult to mention, as all the grass had already been cut off. "I come here almost every month, and yet the grass is always just as big as it was before!" Kami complained. Everything was as before, except for the fact that Kami had to carry five hundred milligrams more. (Two hundred and fifty milliliters of miracle water = five hundred grams) Shinyu was surprised that he didn't complain about it too.Apparently, complaining was Kami's favorite pastime. Kami untied Idiot and Nansensu again, and jumped on Nansensu. "Here you go dumbass," he said, handing the reins from dumbass Shinyu. Shinyu mounted as well and the two rode back uphill towards Sherrington Field. "I once heard that a beautiful young woman is said to have died here. It is said that she still kills people today whom she attracts through her singing," said Kami. "Reminds me a lot of the sirens from the Odyssey or Loreley which in Germany on the Loreley rock lets the ships on the Rhine run onto the reefs and burst!", Shinyu replied. "Mythology of other countries has never been my forte. She's pretty much pretended to be her beauty, this woman," said Kami with a shrug. Nansensu trotted ahead and on the second, silver path the two (actually the four, if you count the horses) were now over. "Juchhu, we'll be back in Sherrington Field in a moment!", Shinyu said happily." Yes, but first we still have to get through this with this dead, beautiful woman. In case you haven't noticed, I'm male too, "Kami said coldly." That's right! I have not yet noticed that you are male! ", Shinyu replied," Oh, don't worry. At some point you will become a real man too. Like Karl Yune ... "" Pph ... ", Kami just went on and rode on quickly. Shinyu could see the golden shine of the first way." You see? No woman showed up, you are still alive and we are about to be at Sherrington Field! ", Shinyu was happy again. But suddenly a scream came from the direction in which the golden path led." That was a woman's scream! We have to help her! ", Kami shouted and Nansensu galloped down the path like stupid." Hey! Don't you notice that this is a trap for this beautiful, young and above all dead woman? "Shinyu shouted after Kami, but he either seemed to ignore her or really didn't hear her."Come on stupid, we have to save the idiot!", She said to stupid and he immediately galloped off and followed Kami, who already had a huge lead. When it came to a sharp turn, Shinyu lost sight of Kami. Instead she saw a barrier again, but this time it wasn't like a bright, yellow veil. It was dark blue and seemed more like a solid veil that was made of stone. After her first acquaintance with barriers, Shinyu was no longer afraid and simply rode through the "haze of mist" without hesitation. That is, at least she tried. Fool slipped through without difficulty, but Shinyu just stuck to the barrier. "Ouch ... why the hell can't I get through?" Shinyu cursed. Suddenly she noticed a small statue that stood in front of the barrier. She looked like a Buddha. Just not made of gold, but of glass. A Buddha made entirely of glass. His insides seemed filled with smoke. In his hands he held a wooden sign with black letters on it: Because you are a woman.The writing was strangely ornate. Shinyu shook her head. That couldn't be true. It was as if this Buddha statue was communicating with her. She didn't speak, but apparently she heard and understood what Shinyu had said. Shinyu knelt in front of the statue and rubbed his eyes. Suddenly the sign said: Don't you believe me? "WHAT? That can't be true ... I'm just dreaming ... I'll wake up soon ... It's just a stupid dream ..." Shinyu mumbled. "No, it's not," the letters on the sign changed again. "Yes it is!", Shinyu shouted, "Oh man, I'm arguing with a statue ... from ... what?" Smoke filled ", was now on the sign. "I don't care if I'm female now or if you give me stupid messages! I'll go through there now and save Kami!", Shinyu said suddenly, calmly and calmly. You could even hear a trace of friendliness in her voice.The only thing that was now on the sign were three big, fat question marks. And all of a sudden, with a loud bang, the statue exploded and it suddenly rained a lot of small and especially colorful scraps of paper. The smoke that was in the figure before rose purple and blue and was blown away by the wind. Shinyu stared in amazement at the place where the statue was before and now there was a huge burn mark. Then she flicked the snippets out of her hair and went back to the barrier. "So, whatever you are behind it, and for what reasons I am not allowed in, I'll come now, okay?" Shinyu said calmly again, but the friendliness was gone. She put her hand against the barrier and immediately received small blows that were similar to electric shocks. She pressed her hand hard against the barrier and finally, when she was about to give up, a crack opened up in the "wall". Shinyu kept pushing until the crack was big enough for her to climb through.She slipped through the crack, but when she was about to continue running, she noticed that the protective shield was still going on. But Shinyu didn't give up and pressed his hand against the wall again. But nothing happened. The wall didn't crack. Shinyu threw himself against it with all his might. And, as if there had never been any resistance, Shinyu just slipped through. No, it didn't slide through, but IN. She was surrounded by a warm "liquid". But it was not nice and soft like the one before with the miracle river, but sharp blades cut into its skin all the time. Shinyu tried to scream, but only a strange gurgle came from her mouth, as if she were underwater. But Shinyu didn't want to give up. She couldn't give up when she saw Kami's face. She struggled through the protective shield and with each new cut her anger, her anger, her willpower, her strength, her confidence and her courage grew. With every step there was a new cut, but she didn't care.Her clothes were all torn, but she didn't care. "I ... want ... no ... I ... have to ... Kami ... see!" She groaned. As she fought her way forward, a fire burned inside her. “Kami, I'll save you!” It was no longer a groan, it was a loud battle cry. And as if it were really burning, the barrier, which was so viscous and cutting, seemed to evaporate. Shinyu was as if she were putting a veil of mist around her. She wiped it away with a wave of her hand and saw that she was suddenly behind the barrier. The barrier behind her had become as solid as before, and no longer a streak of blue fog. "Strange," Shinyu said, a little surprised. Her wounds were bleeding profusely and the blood soon wet the grass she was standing on. But she didn't have time to rest, she had to save Kami. "Why does this idiot always have to put himself in danger? And why do I have to save him?", She sighed in a weak voice. Shinyu padded awkwardly across the path on his injured legs.This was no longer golden, but had now turned a musty brown. It was also no longer fastened, it looked as if a few stones had simply been laid together in a moderately wide row. The trees were all withered and only black flowers bloomed next to the "path". All that was left of the pillars were small, white piles of stones. The path made a right curve and Shinyu saw a familiar face. "Stupid! How nice to find you again!" She exclaimed happily. Fool the horse stood quietly in a meadow and chewed grass. "Come on, we have to go to Kami!", Shinyu said, swinging on dumbass. This galloped off immediately and was much faster than the staggering Shinyu, who was very slow due to her many wounds. The neighing of a horse penetrated Shinyu's ear. "That was Nansensu! I'm quite sure," she called and stupid shifted up a gear. When it came to a curve, Shinyu could already see
