She is no stranger to the bamboo grove. A wooden sword in hand, she carries on with her regular routine of training. It's not the same as it is with metal but she's managed to keep steady at this ever since she's arrived. After a while, she rests. Though she notices that it's oddly quieter than usual and the rabbits who come to greet her usually haven't been in sight. With that realization, the princess can't help but feel a bit worried about where they could be.
As she thinks to start looking for them, the sound of soft chirping can be heard that then turns into hissing. Curious, she stands, sword in hand, and quietly tiptoes as best as possible into the direction and through the bamboo stalks and what she finds, surprises and terrifies her at the same time. A man, making a meal out of them as they do their best as scurrying away to no avail. Kougyoku drops her sword, unnerved by the sight more than anything and realizes quickly that she's given herself away. Still, instead of running away, she can't help but shout, "The...the rabbits..."
"What are you doing to them!?"
