Chapter 9: Meeting
Nick impatiently waited for Sosora to continue and urged her to do just that. Sosora was satisfied seeing the fear on her face and was happy to do just that.

"It's known as the Splash King."
...It's name was a little less scary than its reputation.
As Sosora expected, all the fear disappeared from Nick's face.
"The Splash King?" He asked doubtfully.
Sosora nodded with a grave expression.
"That's right. If you're lucky enough, it will warn you with a splashing sound, letting you turn around and flee before you cross it. And sometimes in the depths of the forest, when everything is silent, you can hear it."
"It?"
"The splashing."
Nick sighed. This felt like a B-rated horror movie's intro.
