The Plains In Super

Chapter 176 - Spokesperson

"We need to bring her to the tower as soon as possible! They're looking for her!" MIss Nabi said as if she was panicking after returning back to her village.

"But what about her meeting with Heize? And what about us?! Aren't we supposed to be hidden and not to be exposed to humans?!" Hodgewart said in the same manner as Miss Nabi, the two of them pacing back and forth against each other in the open which made their fellow villagers uncomfortable as well even though they couldn't understand what they were saying.

"Here's the thing, I overheard some kids talking about an incident that happened before Petunia disappeared from her team and they said that Heize had something to do with it! Doesn't that make it obvious that Heize knows Petunia is looking for her but she doesn't want to see her?!"

"That could be it, but what about Petunia? Are we going to just let all her efforts go to waste just because Heize doesn't want to see her?" Hodgewart replied.

"That's not the point! We're running out of time here! Petunia's teammates will be leaving this place at sunset whether they like it or not and Heize not wanting to see Petunia only meant one thing, she's not interested in helping her! So we've got to return Petunia to her teammates now or else she'll lose all her chances of even getting back in shape!" Miss Nabi said as if she had finally made a decision.

"But how are we going to do that without being seen?" Hodgewart said, lowkey acknowledging Miss Nabi's decision and proceeding with the plan of returning Petunia to her people now.

"We just have to bring her back to a populated place and leave her there, I'm sure the officers will find her and bring her back to her teammates sooner or later," Miss Nabi said while thinking about which animal from their village could best help her carry Petunia back to the headquarters.

"We only have until sunset, who could best help us in this situation?" Hodgewart said while also looking around the village for an answer.

"Can't she just walk on her own?" Hodgewart's little baby fox asked innocently which made both Hodgewart and Miss Nabi think.

"Right, we just have to guide her. It's not like she's handicapped, she just lost her memories," Miss Nabi said upon realization which Hodgewart immediately agreed with.

"I'll go talk to her and get her to walk with us," Hodgewart said and disappeared inside the mushroom house with the two baby foxes beside him.

"I can't help but wonder what she was trying to tell me before she lost her memories though. It could be something important and I don't want to lose my chance but it could also trigger her trauma back… Ah, this is so complicated, I don't want to get involved in one of these ever again!" Miss Nabi said in frustration in another language which made the animals in her village look at her with worry.

"Don't worry I'm just a little stressed, it won't kill me, promise," she said out loud, announcing to her people about her mental health with a smile before hiding back at her office and pondering about her decisions more over there.

"It won't kill me," she repeated before a knock three times on the door startled her a little bit.

"She's ready to go, send your instructions, Chief," her assistant monkey said, delivering the news with a calm demeanor, very opposite to Miss Nabi's nervous and unsure self.

"Okay, I'll be right there in a minute," Miss Nabi said and saw her assistant's polite nod and gentle closing of the door, which accidentally made a note fall off Miss Nabi's desk from being clipped on the edge of a book.

"What is this?" Miss Nabi said as she picked up the note, not remembering a single time that she placed a note in one of her books on the table.

But what shocked her the most, was the fact that the note was written by Petunia's handwriting. It was sloppy handwriting made by Petunia's mouth and a pencil.

"You'll die," is what's written on the note.

"You'll die?" Miss Nabi repeated the words with a confused expression, "Who's going to die?" she asked while looking around, her heart beating twice faster in comparison to her normal heartbeat.

"Obviously not me because I've been living here for too long without having a single side effect syndrome," Miss Nabi said and eventually resorted to asking Petunia about it after beating up her mind and not coming to a single conclusion about it.

"Whatever, it's not like she'll panic after hearing the words that she wrote on her own, right?" Miss Nabi said while anticipating for Petunia to come to her office at the moment.

"Petunia, what are you trying to say with this?" Miss Nabi said as soon as Petunia entered her office room but Petunia only looked at her and the paper with much confusion.

"What do you mean? What did I do? Did I do something wrong?" she asked using the animal language with an innocent face which made Miss Nabi pity her more.

"We're going to return you back to your family now, any words you have to tell me regarding this letter?" Miss Nabi said and scooted closer to Petunia with the slightly heavy letter in her thin little butterfly arms.

"Oh that!" Petunia said after seemingly recognizing the letter, "I think I was trying to tell you something earlier but I don't remember what it is now. Maybe it's not important that's why I forgot about it," she said with a bright smile which made Miss Nabi look at her with much more pity.

"But you've forgotten everything about your past. Don't tell me that's because those aren't important to you too?" Miss Nabi tried to keep her mouth shut but her conscience wouldn't let her let go of Petunia without having a proper conversation with her, as both victims of an experiment that went wrong.

"I don't know, I can't remember anything. And when I try to, my head feels like it's going to burst! Ahhh! It's so noisy! I don't want this anymore! Please make it stop!" Petunia suddenly panicked which Miss Nabi thought was her trauma kicking in.

"Shh, shh, we're going to be alright. We'll take you to your friends now who probably know more about you than us so you don't have to think about it anymore. Stop thinking about it and your head won't hurt as much. I'm sorry for making you try to remember, Petunia. This will be the last time we'll be seeing each other and I don't want to hurt you anymore. I'm sorry," Miss Nabi said while hugging Petunia's nose which made Petunia cool herself down and stop thinking about her memories that would only hurt her brain.

"Okay," she said.

"Now let's go take you back," Miss Nabi said and urged Petunia to come with her outside of the mushroom house and into the town hall to finally say goodbye to all the animals in the village.

"We're going to miss you, Petunia!"

"I'm going to miss you too, I guess," Petunia said to the villagers which gave Miss Nabi and Hodgewart another problem about Petunia's language.

"Can she still speak the human language or has she completely forgotten about it?" Miss Nabi asked which Hodgewart only answered with a shrug.

"Talk to her in the human language then!" Miss Nabi whispered which called Hodgewart back to reality after overthinking about Petunia and Heize's reunion that they would probably never have the chance to do so again in the future which would be a shame.

"Can you still use the human language, Petunia?" Hodgewart asked which made Petunia tilt her head to him in confusion.

"Oh no, she can't understand human language anymore," Hodgewart said to Miss Nabi worriedly which gave Miss Nabi no choice but to accompany Petunia in surrendering to the human guards as a translator.

"But what about us, Miss Nabi?" her animal village asked after hearing about her decision of joining Petunia as her spokesperson to her teammates later.

"I'll be back, I promise," Miss Nabi said, which almost made all the animals in her village cry out of fear of being left by their chief.

"Let's go," she said to the troops that volunteered to go with her to the checkpoint and back to the village just to deliver Petunia to the humans later before sunset.

"We'll be back," the bear said to the crying penguins and baby foxes that would be left in the village with Hodgewart.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to bring the bear with you? Won't the humans freak out upon seeing him?" Hodgewart whispered to Miss Nabi which she responded with,

"I won't let him be seen, we'll just bring him in case something went wrong and we might need someone to carry us all back to the village, you know?"

"Okay, I understand," Hodgewart said before waving goodbye to them.
