"What's wrong~? Has someone given you trouble?"
The sweet, uplifting voice, belonging to someone that was no doubt the very embodiment of kindness, came from behind the firefly-youkai, a shadow casting over the smaller girl as Yuuka Kazami thoughtfully shared her parasol, protecting Wriggle from the sun's rays. She directed a kind, almost motherly smile at the smaller youkai as she walked alongside her. For a woman known to take her sweet time moving from A to B, Yuuka had a strange habit of showing up inexplicably, sometimes.
"Do I need to set an example for someone? It pains me to see a cute girl wronged for no reason..." Yuuka sighed in mock sadness.

"...Hot..."
Shielding her eyes from the sun, Shujiko's flight came to a stop, lowering towards the ground, just outside the forest of magic. The will youkai had hoped to explore a bit more today, maybe even visit that mansion poking through the treetops. Some sort of devil lived there, apparently. Devils had to be strong, so with any luck, Shujiko's fated opponent lay in wait there. But the sun was annoyingly hot today, making even a youkai like herself feel uncomfortable.
Well, the trees would provide enough shade, and if she walked in one direction, there was no way she'd end up lost or something. Worst-case scenario, she could just fly up! She highly doubted there was anything that dangerous for her in the forest anyway. The villagers said there was a witch, a bunch of wild youkai, and shady mushrooms, so... not much to fear, probably.
The brunette took her first steps into the cool, shaded forest.
