　Just then, an air of confusion begins to hang in the air.

　From the bamboo shoots, as Eve and I had named them, something that looked like a limb grew out.

　Eve spreads her limbs wide and stretches out as if she had just woken up from sleep.

　Eve stands up and is taller than I am, so tall that I can just look up at her.

　She waved her hands from side to side like she was doing gymnastics, and then she slowly started to walk.

　And so Eve walks on. She touches the ground with her hands. She looks around.

　Satisfied with what she sees, Eve sits down with her legs folded flat on the ground. It seems that she was checking the sun exposure on the dirt ground.

　Eve, who used to be a bamboo shoot, grows her body at once.

　Originally dozens of times the size of a normal bamboo shoot, Eve has grown into a giant bamboo.

　Not only in height. Its thickness clearly deviates from that of a normal bamboo, and it continues to grow.

　It is so thick that it can only be reached by a number of people holding hands. A door is formed at the part of the trunk where it touches the ground.

　Window-like openings also begin to pop open.

　Eve's rapid growth is not the end of the story. The underground stems that grew out of Eve spread out across the ground beneath the ruins.

　And around Eve, who has turned into a tower, bamboo grows one after another.

　The ground rumbles with their speed and frequency.

　Countless numbers of bamboos break through the ground and are ejected.

　Each one grows into a huge bamboo, and doors and windows are made on the walls.
