[X] Accept Meirin's challenge. Chase after Patchouli.

---

"I accept, but instead of a regular match, let's make this one more interesting," Grey says.

Meirin's smile grows a bit wider.

"Patchouli just flew behind the corner over there," he says as he points. "First one to catch her wins."

"I accept your challenge. Any other rules?" Meirin says.

Grey pauses to think.

"No flying."

"Fair enough. Shall we start?"

"Yes, she might get away."

They start running at the same time, but Meirin quickly gains the lead. Grey sprints, but Meirin clears the corner within seconds.

"What the hell? Is she an Olympic runner or something," Grey mutters.

By the time Grey reaches the corner, Meirin is nowhere to be seen. He continues running at full speed for a couple of minutes before finally pausing to rest. He finds himself gasping for breath as he leans against a tree. His legs ache painfully. He should have warmed up at least.

A shrill scream fills the air. Someone might be in trouble. It seems to be coming from the gate.

"What now?," says Grey.

[ ] Continue running forward. Try to retrace Meirin's trail.
[ ] Return to the gate. See what is causing the commotion.
