From there, Jill acted relentlessly. She supplemented her hunger with apples growing in the garden, fed and treated Karappa, and then used the preparation money given to her when she left the royal castle to procure needles, threads, fabric, scissors, and other small materials and tools. Riding the fully recovered Karappa, she left the forest and headed towards the town of Shelland. It was already becoming dusk, and Jill hurried through the town gate and asked the gatekeeper for the location of…-

"First, whoever reads this must undoubtedly be imprisoned here for some important reason. In fact, I understand well since I am also staying here because I am shunned by the king. Fortunately, I was called back to the castle to raise my niece, but before I leave, there are a few things I want to leave behind. These are about the mansion, the forest, and the mysterious heritage. Let me explain in order. The mansion seems to be just an old-fashioned building, but it is not clear when it was…

Jill took the fork in the road and headed straight into the forest without stopping by the town. The destination was an uninhabited mansion, so ordinarily, she should have bought supplies or taken a rest in the town before heading out, but Jill didn't bother with such things and hurried toward her destination. On the path leading to the forest, there was a rock with engraved letters. 'Beyond this point, Dailan Royal Family Managed Area. Unauthorized entry is prohibited.' It was carved in an…

The man who had taken me in seemed, as I thought, to hold a high position. I still didn’t understand much of the language, so the details were lost on me, but everyone saluted him. The rabbit-eared one also addressed the cat-eared one in the same manner as everyone else. In other words, the rabbit ears must be the cat ears’ subordinate. He didn’t seem as formal as the others, though, so perhaps their positions were more closely aligned. No one called the cat ears by name, which…-

—Rodokiaus Side— “Ryo-do.” He holds up a single finger. “Kō.” With the other hand, he raises another finger, then brings both upright fingers together. …Is he trying to learn how to count? Choosing my words carefully, I speak in single terms. It seems Kō finds it easier to acquire language this way. I raise a single finger. “One.” “Wan.” I hold up two fingers. “Two.” “Tu.” In this way, I teach him up to ten. Though his speech is…

─ ? Side ─ When I arrived at a spot where I rarely took my breaks, I found someone had beaten me there. A child was sleeping by the spring. (Why is there a child in a place like this?) And naked, at that. I thought he might be dead, but it seemed he was only asleep. He didn't appear to be injured either; rather than abandoned, it would be more accurate to say he had been left behind. (No tail, round ears without any fur…no scales, no wings. What species is he?) I had never…

The man who had picked me up mounted the creature, still holding me in his arms. Because I couldn’t sit steadily, he fastened me to his body with a cloth. …It was like I was strapped into a baby carrier. (This can’t be happening! This position…) I knew it was because my body was too young now. …I mean, my arms couldn’t even reach the reins. Maybe it wasn’t practical to ride one-handed, for after a moment’s thought, he shifted me to cling against him face-to-face, resulting…

“＊＊＊＊＊＊!” (Ugh… So noisy…) A voice I’d never heard before made me furrow my brow. I was still sleepy. “＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊?” My whole body was being shaken vigorously, and I felt the urge to click my tongue. (Wait, is this during class…?) If so, is it a teacher that’s waking me up? (…No, I was supposed to be asleep in my room… Wait? Then, who’s here!?) I hadn’t invited anyone over. Suddenly wide awake, I opened my eyes and was…
