Riki was forced to wake up when he heard Nicho shouting. He grabbed his smartphone and saw that it was still around ten in the morning.
Riki sat up and looked at the wide-open window next to him.
The breeze blew gently, bringing coolness in the midst of the scorching sun.
At that time, Riki was sleeping on a bed in a tree house. He had deliberately opened all the windows wide to let the wind in, because the cool breeze lulled him to sleep.
Riki stretched for a moment, then left the tree house, descending the spiral wooden stairs to the bottom of the big tree.
Kaivan, Zeno, and Nicho were below, lighting a campfire that could be covered and used for roasting something. However, there was another group of people with them.
Riki didn't recognize these people, but it looked like they were giving something. Maybe that was what made Nicho scream earlier.
When Riki approached, the people left, seemingly embarrassed by Riki's presence.
