Punch's Wisdom
Pon returned home and played the koto alone. He thought of Momo.
“Pon...” Momo said.
“Momo, what's wrong? Why did you run away from home?”
“I came to say goodbye...”
“Why?”
“I can't stay in the Land of Sura anymore...”
“...”
“I'm going to the Land of Darkness...”
“Why? The Dark Country is where the Demon King lives!”
“I'm sorry...”
Saying that, Momo vanished. All that remained was the lingering scent of Momo...
The surroundings grew darker and darker as time passed. Pon couldn't stay still and decided to go to Ponchi's house again.
“Ponchi! You there?”
“Yeah! Pon! What's up?”
“Momo...”
And so Pon told him about Momo going to the Land of Darkness and saying goodbye.
“I see...” Ponchi said. Maybe he understood something.
“Let's ask Riku,” said Ponchi.
The two called Riku and asked about Momo.
“Momo's going to the Land of Darkness, and we want to stop her,” said Pon.
“I see...” said Riku.
“Do you know anything?” asked Pon.
“I... I don't really know much about Momo... But... the Dark Country has a demon king, so it's dangerous. I'll go too.”
The three decided to go to the Dark Country.
