Chapter 2. Later childhood to 13 years.
The next few years were mostly uneventful. Koro found a few more red mushrooms, a few rare collectables, and other, more common items. One day, he found a glass bottle, with a strange liquid in it. He drank half of it, but nothing happened. An adult ran over and took the bottle from him. The adult then took the bottle to the research table to find out what it was. Then the adult took Koro to Bobo, and told him what Koro had done. A few hours later, Bobo and Koro went to the research table. The researchers told them that the liquid could cause cramps in adults, and that it could severly injure young children. But nothing had happened to Koro.
A few more red mushrooms and rare collectables later, it was the night before Koro's fourteenth birthday, and it was obvious whatever field he went into, that field would succeed greatly. But what he wanted to do involved his voice, a lot of wood, some cloth, a few cutting tools, walking, and his eyes.
