It took them a short time to look at the flowers because most of them looked alike and when they were done, they went down to town and sightseeing. There was activity in the streets and there were many people out. Lily felt that they stood out because their clothes looked fancier than the residents’ and it was obvious that they didn't belong in the village. Suddenly they passed a small stall where an elderly woman who looked Asian was sitting. She had gray hair and many wrinkles on her face, but she had a friendly smile, but it wasn't the smile Lily was caught by. Her booth had colorful little balls that looked like dango. There was a pink, white and green ball which was set on bamboo sticks. She immediately went over to them and studied them more closely.
“Excuse me but is it Hanami Dango?” she asked to be sure.
"It is correct." replied the woman, smiling.
Lily's heart beat faster and she immediately said, “Lady. I buy it all and if you have mochi I buy them too.” and was so happy.
Ace, who had gone along, looked surprised at the dango and at Lily afterwards. He didn't know about it but understood that it was important to her and didn't say anything. The woman packed it all into square boxes that looked like bento boxes and Lily put them in her space ring. When she was about to leave, she felt sorry for the woman that the best she could do for her was to buy it all.
She walked over to her and took out a space ring and said, "Take this as thanks for bringing me happiness." because she meant her word.
She had missed her mother's homemade dango and was sure the woman's dango tasted just as good.
"Thank you very much my lady." the woman said, bowing to her.
Lily explained the function of the ring to her and told her to keep it a secret from the other residents since she couldn't give a ring to all of them. She was not the Virgin Mary and did not have time to save the whole world even if she wanted to.
They walked on and Lily took out a dango and took a bite of it. It tasted exactly as it should and she had a lovely nostalgic feeling. She handed it to Ace and explained what it was, and he also took a bite to taste. As he chewed, she could see he wasn't very excited and giggled.
"It doesn't taste very good." he lamented and pouted.
“I'm addicted to the texture. It's like when some people are addicted to coffee.” Lily explained.
Ace nodded and said, "Since you're half Japanese it makes sense that you recognized it."
They walked around looking at different things and Lily filled up her ring with essential food items and practical things since they would be traveling this way for several days. She was afraid that they would be caught in a storm and thrown into the sea or stuck in a ravine or similar and bought ropes and hiking equipment. Ace thought it was odd but said nothing.
"It's better to be on the safe side." Lily said.
She was good at being prepared and in this new world there were always unforeseen things. When it got dark, an hour had passed, and they went to the center which was a small square which had a lot of big pink cherry trees that stood on marble tiles. It looked like a small park because there were benches around but no one was using them.
"It looks like a place you go on a date, but it's empty." Lily said wondering.
“It built for people who have been blessed.” explained the system.
Now it made sense why the inhabitants didn't use it, so it was because they didn't have summons to use it. She wondered why such a place was built so far out in the country. It wasn't exactly a tourist spot, and they were only there because it was on the way to their destination.

"It's a shame that it's just for decoration." she said.
They quickly found Ezekiel, Alicia, Aaron and Arba because no one else was present but them in this area.
"I saw a nice restaurant over there." Aaron said, pointing further back.
They went there immediately and took an outdoor table so they could see the cherry trees which were lit up with lights from below. Besides that, the moonlight was shining down on them, and it looked beautiful. As they ate Lily inquired about the area and found out that the reason no one stayed here was because a murderer had once lived there. It turned out that many similar villages had criminals and therefore it was one of the reasons why people were not interested in visiting them.
Aaron suddenly took out a large note that looked like a poster with a drawing of a woman with shoulder-length hair.
"I took a bounty on the way." he explained.
"Who is it?" Lily asked curiously.
“The Man-Eater. Eats her male victims only with her vagina.” Ezekiel read.
Lily got her food down her throat and coughed, "Sorry what?"
"Her vagina has sharp teeth that eat the man and then swallow him." Ezekiel read on.
Lily thought she heard wrong and asked, "Are you sure it's not a sex post for some porn show." for she was sure that it did not fit.
It was a fantasy world, but it couldn't be that crazy, could it?
"Here. Read for yourself.” Aaron said, pushing the bounty over to her and Ace.
The face was a woman with shoulder length hair, and she had a lot of freckles on her head but Lily recognized it immediately and was sure it was the same person.
“Holy fuck.” she exclaimed, seriously confused.
"Do you know the person?" Alicia asked.
Lily cleared her throat and replied, “Not exactly. I know all the faces of bitches and I'll never forget her, but she wasn't that type at all before." or she didn't realize it.
Holy fuck, what if she had fucked Ralph then she would have eaten him with her vagina.
"I've never heard of a woman who eats men with their vaginas." Said Alicia who didn't believe it either.
Lily knew that special Hidden classes existed and asked, “Could it be a Hidden class?”
The others immediately started laughing out loud and she didn't understand why because she meant her words.
"No, definitely not a Hidden class." Ezekiel replied.
That bitch was the worst she had met since she was resurrected but if she had the means she wouldn't hold back for Elijah. She was definitely a virgin when she met her so how did she end up in this situation. She had planted an eel in her in anger and that was the only thing she could think of.
"How does Seed of the Black Eel work?" she asked.
"It's random and no one is the same, so I can't answer that." replied the system.
She was sure it had something to do with it and suddenly felt awkward. She did not feel guilty in any way but was relieved that she had saved Ralph from her.
She cleared her throat and said, "Maybe I had something to do with it." and explained to them what happened at the Dragon Hunt festival.
The others looked at her like she was a monster and Alicia said, "I thought Ezekiel was the worst because he puts a bounty on your head, but he's met his master now." and swallowed his food.
Ezekiel started to laugh out loud, and it looked like he was really amused.
Lily couldn't let Angelina walk around eating men with her vagina. Firstly, it was disgusting and secondly, it was her fault.
“Let's hunt that bitch. Send a message to everyone we know Aaron. I’m writing to Ralph and Elijah.” she said.
They all immediately started sending messages to people they knew, and Lily hadn't forgotten William, Leo and Keith. She also sent one out to Colt because the black market had helped her so much.
As Lily lay in the bed with Ace, she looked at him lying to her left and said, "Be careful approaching women in general."
Ace chuckled and asked, “Are you jealous?” and hoped he had guessed right.
Lily pouted and replied, “I'm afraid Angelina may change appearance and form. I'm just worried about you.”
Ace hugged her and said, “I'm strong and I'm not stupid but I promise to be careful.”
Lily trusted him but since it was her skill that was planted in Angelina, she was sure it was a strong eel. It was inhuman and even though Ace was strong she was still afraid that he would be eaten by her.
"I hope you don't end up in her vagina." she said seriously without thinking about the meaning of her sentence.
Ace chuckled loudly and said, "Lily, you have the strangest expressions but funnily enough your sentence makes sense this time."
Lily wanted to craft something for him that could protect him from Angelina in the event they met. If that woman was after Elijah, she was definitely after William and Ace. She suddenly became worried about William because he was Ralph's brother. She also had to make something for him that could help him against Angelina. She quickly texted him again to be careful not to end up in Angelina's vagina.
