Lisa could hear the men moving around her, but her eyes continued to water and the pain that shot through her flooded her senses with white noise, making it harder for her to see exactly what they were trying to do to Jisoo. Fortunately, it seemed they weren't planning on doing much. Lisa had already done a severe amount of damage to them, and they seemed to retreat with their tail between their legs. She could vaguely hear their feet pounding away. "Cowards!" she yelled after them, and with a moment to rest, Jisoo finally removed the dust from her eyes, before funneling the toxins out of her own eyes and tossing them to the ground.<br/><br/>"What were they?" Jisoo asked as she looked towards the horizon, where the men had escaped.<br/><br/>Lisa shook her head. "I don't know, but if I see them again, I'm feeding their bones to Blackwing," she muttered. Blackwing huffed in response, a small burst of fire shooting out of his nostrils.<br/><br/>Jisoo turned back to Lisa, exchanging glances with her as their hunger ate away at their stomachs. "Do we continue?" she asked.<br/><br/>Lisa followed Jisoo's gaze over the horizon and she sighed and shook her head. "The travel forward is going to take too much out of us. If we see something or fight someone, I doubt we could bring the mushrooms back to the city. We have to leave."<br/><br/>As the duo's morale slowly sank, the pair unfortunately had to walk back to the city, even as Blackwing looked far and wide for anything that she could eat. As the girls reached the city grounds, Seolhyun and Choa were still nowhere to be found, and the girls were as hungry as ever. Lisa leaned back against a random building in the center of the city while Blackwing and Jisoo followed, sitting to conserve their energy. There were still a few hours until Seolhyun was done and Choa would wake up, but none of the girls knew that. They were up a creek without a paddle, and it seemed the girls would have an even harder time getting money than they thought. How was that possible?
