Even though she temporarily lost the ability to fly (not for what you think) due to her breaking her word to Kio, she began to get used to walking, her legs hardened and became stronger, however Kio makes an observation to her...
It's not to offend you Li but I see you more massive
I say that I'm still the same... she replies
I told you this because now where you step the ground rumbles, you have maintained your volume but your weight has increased...
I see that this curse continues to prevail, how much longer until we reach the village?
A day on foot from here, Kio points to a mountain in the distance
Oh there's not much left, I had already gotten used to walking... says Li (fatsune)
And they told me that the kitsunes were agile, but well at least when we get there they can help you return to your "light days"
Great, and by the way we can stop to eat
Hehe, you never change...
Both rest when they arrive dusk
