The days that followed passed peacefully.
Leonie-sama guided me to various places, and I was able to walk around the city and visit the holy church in this area.
And I can say that I am spending my days very fulfilling because I can do many things that I cannot experience in the royal capital, such as feeding animals such as cows and sheep.

And today.
Finally, the day came to leave for the Busquet territory.

"Rachel-sama, the carriage is ready. Please come this way."
"Thank you, Roger."

While I was waiting in the hall of the mansion while holding Kuro in my arms, Roger told me that the preparations were finished, and I got up from the sofa I was sitting on.
When I left the mansion and proceeded to the front of the carriage, Leonie-sama in military uniform, which is the uniform of the knight order, was waiting. After briefly exchanging greetings, he holds Kuro with one hand and gets into the carriage with Leonie-sama's help with the other hand.
After confirming that I had boarded, Sarah joined me next, and the door of the carriage was closed as it was.

Leonie-sama and Roger each got on a horse and stood by in front of and behind the carriage, and the carriage began to move slowly.

"Miss, did you rest last night? It seems that you will be moving for half a day today, so please tell me if you are not feeling well."
"Eh, it's okay"

When I replied to Sara's words with a smile, Sara gave me a gentle smile as if I was relieved.

But now the words. I didn't tell the truth about whether I was able to sleep last night or not, although I was telling the truth when I told him that I was fine.
In fact, I couldn't fall asleep until late last night.

Because, when I thought that dawn would pass through that forest, my eyes became sharp.

The forest where I and Sarah, who smiles gently in front of me, were killed in my last life.
I was the one who decided to go there, but as the time approached, I was overcome with indescribable anxiety.

Even though it's a thing of the past.
It's been a long time since I went back in time.
Still, I can't forget.

The darkness of that forest, the noise, the smell of blood.
A stabbing pain in the chest.

I can still remember it all vividly.

Just remembering it makes my heart beat faster, my blood runs cold, and my eyes go hazy. Her whole body stiffens and she can't stop trembling.
How many times have I thought that I can't go to that forest until this day, and that I should give up?

If it still doesn't work...
Otherwise nothing will start.

in addition.
After closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, I touched the necklace that was now hidden under my clothes.

I have His Highness who gives me strength.
I have parents and friends who trust me and wait for me.
And there's Sarah, who came with me.

I'm not alone
That's why it's okay.

Before I knew it, the trembling in my legs that had been going on since morning under the dress had stopped.
After taking a deep breath, I finally regained my composure and was able to turn my attention to the outside of the window.

When I turned my gaze to the outside, it seemed that I had come to the entrance of the forest connecting the Milissie territory and the Busquet territory.

“The carriage has stopped.
"Yeah. Normally... soldiers are stationed here."
"Normal? Do you sometimes not?"
"Eh... No, that's right. Always."
