 Touyo and Koto walked to the forest, again.

"Isn't this like my third time coming back here?"

"Yes!"

"You didn't have to answer that."

"But I'm your supportal AI." [So what happened to my questions I had before hand?]

"Never mind then." Koto stopped and crouched. Touyo copied Koto, and Koto started looking around. He then pointed,

"Before we fight that wolf, do you have any skills?" Touyo started malfunctioning,

"I currently have skills like-" Touyo then listed all the skills he had, which wasn't too much, but is too many for me to think of. Koto then listened attentively, listening for ones that are supportive, and ones that aren't. Once Touyo was done, Koto nodded in approval,

"You literally have no class. You have support skills, offensive skills, and defensive skills. You're a jack of all trades."

"Sooo, is that a good thing?"

"Not necessarily. But it is good to try things out for me." Touyo faced turned from gloomy, to excited.

"Anyways, I need you to use buffs on me. I want to test how strong it is."

"Okay" Touyo started casting the buffs, one by one onto Koto. 

"Okay, I'm done." Koto looked at Touyo and gave him a thumbs up. Touyo then gleamed with joy, and Koto launched at the wolf. Koto reached the surprised wolf, and did a normal downward slice. There rest a now dead wolf, wondering what it did to deserve a one shot. [The buffs did make a heavy difference. I could feel a change in my body that told me, that I was stronger.] Koto walked back to Touyo,

"Those buffs were amazing, however they felt a bit overpowered."

"Shouldn't they be like that?"

"Yeah, but if you can just beat anything you fight, then it just defeats the whole purpose." 

"I understand." [There is some place I want to visit again.]

"Follow me. I want to visit an old place." They left the area, and entered deep into the forest. They kept walking and walking until they reached a familiar entrance. [Ah, the Wolf's Den. How much I hate you.]

"Isn't this the Wolf's Den?"

"Oh, so you were watching back then?"

"Of course, I need to watch your every movement." 

"Then that means you've been watching me?"

"Yup!" [So that means that he...] Koto decided not to finish that thought and just continued into the dungeon. 

"I want to thoroughly examine the boss room. As there might be hidden rewards in there."

"I can scan the room for you." Koto stopped in his tracks, and slowly turned to Touyo.

"You can do what now?"

"I.. I can scan the room."

"Do it as soon as we get to the room."

"O-okay." They walked down the tunnel where Koto killed all the wolves. They then continued further into the dungeon and reached the boss room. 

"You can use it now."

"Ah yes." Touyo got into a stand still position, with her hands on her head. She was clearly focusing, and while Koto didn't know what he was doing. Touyo dropped to his knees after finishing what he was supposed to do. 

"Are you okay?" Koto said with a panicked voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just.. took a bit out of me." [Even though he's a AI, I guess he runs by human laws when in that form.]

"Anyhow, did you find anything?" Touyo recovered from dropping to his knees, and pointed.

"There's a secret room, it leads down into a hallway. But that's all I know." [A door that leads to a hallway? That would mean secrets ahead, and trouble.]

"Do you want to return back, or stay like this? I can handle this myself."

"Nope, I'll go with you. After all, I just got this form." Koto was surprised from the sudden confidence, but nodded with appreciation.

"Alright, since you made up your mind. Let's go!" Koto walked away dramatically, only to turn around and ask where the door was.

"Heh, the doors that way." Touyo walked to the door leading the way, and opened it. 

"Right this way." They both entered the door, and saw a dark hallway with a glass pathway with what seemed to be lights, brightening it up.

"This is super sketchy."

"I agree."

"There's nowhere to go but forward. Just follow my lead." Koto took the lead, cautious of anything that might harm them, even the glass floor. As they steadily increase forward, they started seeing a light further on. Koto proceedingly started becoming less cautious as they reached the end. They soon reached the end, and hopped on a platform made with different material. They saw another door,

"I feel like there's someone who's been watching us. But let's be careful when opening the door." Koto put his back against the door, and slowly opened it. While opening it, a kind and gentle voice came through the door,

"It's fine, you don't have to be so cautious." Koto still slowly opened the door, and once it opened completely. Well, the sight was something to behold.
