Where the hell did they all go? I thought Iâd find them as soon as I moved, but it was just my illusion. Graecito was just a child, but Serira and Elene were just too serious about this.
âBe sure to hide, I see your hair. Where did you hide? Did you hide here?â
The scenery was unfamiliar since I came to a new area. I should have just went where I used to go. However, I crawled all the way here with a pioneering spirit that couldnât be used for anything. I didnât see any people, and neither did I find Serira or Elene. Graecito, too; I didnât see this rabbit. This garden was a really big garden, indeed.
âHuh?â
At that moment something was caught in my peripheral vision. Was it a person?! It seemed like Elene or Serira from their height or silhouette.
I got you!
As soon as I ran to her, a figure of a woman really came into my eyes. Yay!
âI found you! Youâre it!â
Now theyâre it! I ran with confidence and shouted, and at the moment I was embarrassed by the eyes that came into mine. Ugh, huh?
âHello?â
This wasnât Elene or Serira.
âIâm not hiding.â
She smiled softly as she swept her long hair behind her ears.
âI know.â
She was a stranger. She had a pretty smile and a pleasant eye, but definitely stranger. No, I had seen her before, but being a stranger to me didnât change anything much.
âI see, weâve met for the first time.â
The blue hair was giddy among the tree roots. Her eyes were blue, too. Except for holding a book in her hand, her appearance wasnât particularly attention-grabbing. Was she taking a walk?
However, she was definitely a beauty. She was a neat and innocent beauty rather than something splendid. Oh, wait, I thought I had seen this person somewhere. Wasnât she the one who showed me the way before? I thought thatâs right.
What the hell was she doing? Suddenly, I wondered who she was.
Now that I thought about it. If sheâs staying here, she must be a princess from some country. Was she also one of Caitelâs accessories?
Caitelâs accessories⌠It was a joke people used to refer to princesses and royal ladies living in the harem. Accessories displayed in the kingâs harem. It was also a derogatory remark to refer to Caitelâs cruel hobby of collecting princesses, but it was also derision of those princesses who had been captured. Well, it wasnât totally wrong.
