Somehow, The Villainess Who Regressed in Time Lost Her Magic Power, so She Turned into a Secluded Ma

The days since then have passed peacefully.

Master Leonie guided me to various places, where I could also walk through the city and visit the Episcopal Church in the land.

And we can say that we have a very fulfilling day, where we can do many things that we cannot experience in the King's Capital to feed animals such as cattle and sheep.

And today.

Finally, we celebrated the day we left for Busque territory.

"Lady Rachel, the carriage is ready. Here you go."

"Thanks, Roger"

With Cro in his arms, waiting in the hall of the hall, Roger tells him that he is ready and he rises from the couch where he was sitting.

Leonie in military uniform, a Knights uniform, was waiting as she left the hall and proceeded to the carriage. After a brief exchange of greetings, he takes Crowe into the carriage with one hand and the other hand with Master Leonie's hand.

Confirming I got in, the next thing I knew, Sarah was on board and the carriage door was shut as it was.

Master Leonie and Roger each rode their horses and as they stood by the carriage back and forth, the carriage began to move slowly.

"Ma'am, did you get some rest last night? They're going to be traveling for half a day today, so tell me if you're not feeling well."

"Yeah, it's okay."

Replying to Sarah's words, smiling, Sarah smiled back gently as she was relieved.

But now the word. There is no falsehood in the words I told her I was fine, but I have not told her the truth about whether she was able to sleep last night.

In fact, I couldn't sleep late last night.

Because when the night dawned, I thought it was the day I would go through those woods, and my eyes were blinded.

Me, and Sarah smiling calmly in front of me, the forest that was killed last time raw.

It is I who have decided to go to the land, but nevertheless unspeakable anxiety strikes me as the moment and time approaches.

Even though it's in the past.

It's been a long time since I went back in time.

Still, I can't forget.

The darkness, the twitching, the smell of blood in that forest.

Punctured chest pain.

Everything can still be remembered clearly.

Just remembering, the heartbeat catches my blood sooner and my eyes are sarcastic. My whole body gets stiff and I can't stop trembling.

How many times before this day, I still can't go to that forest, I still have to stop.

Still, if we don't move on......

If you don't, nothing starts.

And.

After closing his eyes and taking a deep, deep breath, he touches the necklace he now wears as hidden under his clothes, from the top of his clothes.

I have a lord who can help me.

Believe me, I have parents, friends waiting for me.

And Sarah came with me.

I am not alone.

That's why it's okay.

Soon, the tremor in his legs, which has been going on all morning under a piece, has also stopped.

After a deep breath, I was finally able to regain my composure and turn my consciousness out the window.

Turning his gaze out, he apparently came to the entrance to the woods connecting Milicier and Busque territory.

"The carriage stopped, didn't it? Oh, apparently you're checking your pass."

"Yep. Normally... soldiers are stationed here."

"Normally? Sometimes you're not there?

"What... No, right. Always, right?"

Once the carriage stopped, Sarah looked out the window wondering.

There, Master Leonie seems to be showing some paper to the guard soldiers.

Permits or identity checks are carried out in the woods to enter Busque territory. Normally in this land, we didn't know about it because we had come unprepared before.

He could have heard, but at any rate, he arrived here without taking a break. Sometimes it was night and the lights were only the demon stone lights put on the carriage.

I guess my vision was poor, too. Maybe I couldn't even confirm the cabin like I did now.

Would it have stopped for a few minutes? When the carriage started moving again, Crowe, who was eating cookies on my lap, began to soften.

"Chro, what's wrong?

Even when I ask, Cro looks around as if he can't hear me.

And are you trying to pin your ears and even hear a slight noise?

"It's a beautiful forest. There are carriages in place to get through here, but I'm sure they look more beautiful in the back."

I didn't even realize that the carriage was already going through the woods until I could hear from Sarah because I was worried about the way things were going with different clos and was distracted by you.

Sarah's words finally gave me room to look around, too.

And when you ask me, I find this forest strange.

Busque territory is a land of deep snow and cold. It may also snow in the coming period.

Even in Milicier territory, the trees were already coloured and brightly shaded.

And yet, how about this forest?

Around this road there is a line of leafy trees, but behind them.

A part of the back of a deep, deep forest.

There, as far as I can confirm from the carriage, it looks blue.

Besides, I couldn't help but be scared and horrible until earlier.

What will happen to me if I come back to this place again?

That's what I thought, and now I don't have any feelings for it.

Just be quiet, I'm just fascinated by the beauty of this forest.

Only this land is surrounded by silence as if time were stopping.

That's when I was feeling that way.

"Nyah! Nyah!

"Cro? What the hell is going on?

"Nyah!"

"Do you want to go outside? No, the carriage is moving now."

Clos started ringing with a voice that had never happened before, scratching the carriage door with a crisp forefoot.

To me stopping it, Clo doesn't seem convinced. Turning this way, he starts groping around my left foot.

I've never seen a clo look so restless before.

I also find myself in a hurry over the narrow spaces of the carriage, the unusual appearance of croissants moving around with soy sauces.

Sarah looked at me like that and looked into my face worried.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with the Spirit?

Sarah can't see the Spirit, but she seems worried that something has happened because of my words and actions.

"Yeah, it's kind of unsettling. This has never happened before..."

"Really? Would you like me to stop the carriage a little?

"... right"

Sarah tells you from the carriage window that the carriage slowly stops on the spot.

"What have you done? Do you want to come down once?

"Yep. I'm sorry."

"No. Then you will open the door."

After I heard the sound of knocking on the carriage door, it was Master Leonie's voice that I heard.

I would have been suspicious to tell him to stop suddenly, but his voice always returns with the same serenity and awareness.

Then, in order to get off the carriage, he lowers his legs to the ground, holding a clo that still looks around him from the open door.

For a moment, his tense legs felt no wonder and no fear as he stepped down to the ground.

On the contrary, the cool air in the woods blushes my cheeks and I even find it very comfortable.

Strange.

He said he had dreamed, feared, and trembled by then.

Now, I don't think I'm scared anymore.

On the contrary, I'm relieved.

"Are you getting a little tired?

"... Dear Leonie. No, you know, I'm sorry I told you to stop so suddenly."

"It's okay. It's been going so well. We'll be at the Busque Inn by sundown."

"Thank you"

Lady Leonie, who cares kindly at all times, smiled gently that she had nothing to worry about.

And as many leaves fall from the trees and dance due to the wind that always blows through the sawa sawa.

As I am blinded by that beautiful sight, Master Leonie steps over to my side and turns her gaze towards you.

"Isn't this forest strange?

"Yeah, you know. Only the trees in the back look blue..."

"It doesn't change color all year round over there. And the strange thing is, if you go into the woods behind you, you don't get to the depths of the woods, you go around in a groove, and you go back down the same path."

"Well, you are. That's very strange..."

"That said, it also seems to have been around for the last few decades"

Master Leonie told a very interesting story to me, who cared about one point from earlier.

I see.

This land may also be a special forest.

The forest of this country has many stories full of various rhetoric and wonders. It is also one of the phenomena that occurs everywhere because the Spirit lives in the forest.

Does that mean that there is still some power of the Spirit working in this land...

then......

Trying to sink into deep thought, Piong jumped all the way down from my arms to the ground after the cro that was held in my arms rang 'Nya' small.

"Cro?"

Crowe stared deep into the forest. My ears and tails are stretched pins, and my voice doesn't seem to have arrived either.

Looking at what had happened to Crowe like that, Crowe began to rush out with a lot of momentum.

Huh?

Cro!?

"Wait! Cro! Cro!

I try to push myself forward, trying to rush out too so that I can accidentally follow the clo that rushed out.

But the moment I tried to step in, Master Leonie, who was next door, grabs my arm.

"Master Leonie."

"Where are you going! What will you do if you get lost alone!

"Ah... I'm sorry.

Look at Master Leonie's rugged face and realize that he lacked calm.

That's right. My unsolicited behavior caused Roger trouble the last time.

It was where he made the same mistake.

Now I run out after Cro and if they were in a situation of losing sight of me......

I should have understood that I was responsible for everyone so much.

"... I know. You wanted to chase the Spirit. I'm sorry you shouted so loud."

"No, I was wrong. Dear Leonie, thank you for stopping me."

"It's okay. Because the Spirit is whimsical and free. Even if I leave you temporarily now, I will return to the contractor."

"Right."

Master Leonie lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head sorry, but I'm the one who has to apologize.

Yes, I forgot because Crowe's always on my side. That the Spirit is not always on his side.

The spirits are always free. Still, the connection between contracts allows us to feel each other.

I'm sure Crowe found something in this forest that bothers him.

So I'll be back after seeing what's bothering me about it.

Crowe looks like a cat, but he's a fine spirit.

I have a contract with me, and I can still feel the power of Chro wrapping my body around me.

Even though I think so, that little figure has still disappeared into the woods makes me really thin, worried and anxious.

... right? You'll be back soon, won't you?

I try to calm myself down and say it's okay in my heart many times.

But my gaze won't keep me away from the back of the woods where Crowe disappeared.

Cro, what did you care?

What have you been doing?

Even though I inquired in my heart, there was no response from Crowe.
