Several villagers, who were heading toward the church upon hearing people shouting there, were surprised to see Mylia with three female knights riding horses through the village road.
But then they immediately understood what exactly happened because they had seen Chloe leave the village that way.
ăMylia ojou-sama!ă
ăPlease do your best for the future of this village!ă
ăAlthough youâre absent minded, Iâm sure you can do it!ă
ăOjou-sama!ă(villagers)
The villagers looked very desperate about the condition of the village.
They hoped that Mylia and Chloe could save the village.
ïŒHahh⊠Iâm not going to the royal capital because I want to save the village thoughâŠïŒ
Mylia had mixed feelings after hearing the cheers of the villagers.
ïŒMaybe I should talk about this with Chloe onee-chan later.ïŒ
Mylia decided not to think about the villagers for now.
By the way, Myliaâs adhesive magic and paralyzing magic were still working on Robin.
Mylia completely forgot about that.
However, that kind of spell would stop working after a while.
âŻ
It became quiet after they left the village.
There were only forests of the monster territory on the left and right side of the road.
ïŒHee⊠I always fly when I pass this road, so I never pay attention, but this road seems to be properly maintained.ïŒ
The condition of the road was unexpectedly not too bad for a road in the countryside.
ïŒCome to think of it, I remember that Master told me that she had cast a spell to prevent deterioration around the forest area⊠So maybe this road is well maintained because of that⊠I canât believe that a lazy person like Master did something troublesome like that. I wonder if her debt to the founder of the Atwood Family is so big that she was willing to do thatâŠïŒ
Titania once promised Galaxia Atwood, the founder of the Atwood Family, to take care of the forest aside from waiting for his descendant with the silver pendant to appear before her. (chapter 1-12)
ăMylia, are you okay?ă(Amnesia)
Amnesia looked down at Myliaâs face while holding the reins.
Mylia could smell Amnesiaâs sweet and soothing scent from behind.
ăIâm okay. Iâm just thinking that the road is strangely well maintained.ă(Mylia)
ăAh, I see.ă(Amnesia)
Mylia leaned her back against Amnesia.
ïŒAhh~ Amnesia-sanâs body feels so comfortable.ïŒ
Before going, Amnesia took off her breastplate so that it wouldnât hurt the back of Myliaâs head.
Amnesiaâs chest felt so soft on the back of Myliaâs head, and her body also smelled good. It made Mylia a bit sleepy.
ïŒAmnesia-sanâs chest gave off a soft feeling that was different from Chloe onee-chanâs chest, but they both made me feel safe somehow when I leaned my head against them⊠Of course, Masterâs chest also gave me the feeling of safety⊠Ahh, being surrounded by these kind people is a blessing. I was panicked when I first realized about how bad the Atwood Family was, but now Iâm glad that I reincarnated in this worldâŠïŒ
Myliaâs previous life was very sad.
She had no friends and her good-for-nothing father always bossed her around every day.
Her only ally was her grandma who was bedridden in the hospital, but she couldnât even meet her because her relatives didnât allow her to meet her grandma too often for some reason.
Because of that, Mylia was sensitive to other peopleâs kindness.
ăBy the way, it is said that the Road of the Farthest Land was made by a magician.ă(Amnesia)
ăâThe Road of the Farthest Landâ?ă(Mylia)
ăHm? Itâs the name of this road. Donât you know about it?ă(Amnesia)
ăHee⊠In the village, people simply called this road âThe southern roadâ.ă(Mylia)
ăI see⊠So the locals donât call it by its original name, huh?ă(Amnesia)
ăSome people called it âthe road to Hamanulleâ or âthe forest roadâ. I think âthe Road of the Farthest Landâ sounds cooler, but I donât know why they donât call it that.ă(Mylia)
ăPerhaps the way you look at things will change depending on where you live.ă(Amnesia)
ăI seeâŠă(Mylia)
ăâŠâŠ.Mylia, you look so sleepy⊠You can sleep if you want. This will be a long trip after all.ă(Amnesia)
ăEh? Can I?ă(Mylia)
ăFufu, of course. Donât worry, you wonât fall off the horse.ă(Amnesia)
Amnesia held the reins with one hand and stroked Myliaâs head with the other hand.
ăYou stayed up late yesterday because of the test, so you must be sleepy now, right?ă(Amnesia)
ăActually, yeah⊠Iâm sleepyâŠă(Mylia)
ăThen you can sleep now. Good night, Mylia.ă(Amnesia)
ăThank you, Amnesia-san⊠Good nightâŠă(Mylia)
Mylia leaned her body against Amnesia even more and closed her eyes.
ïŒAhh⊠Amnesia-sanâs body really is comfortable⊠I feel like Iâm going to have a nice dreamâŠïŒ
âŻâŻâŻ
Mylia was dreaming.
She dreamt of having a fun dinner with Chloe, Titania, and Amnesia at Jojoen, her favorite yakiniku restaurant in Japan.
When she tried to take a half-grilled slice of meat, Titania stopped her and scolded her, but Mylia replied with a smile.
Meanwhile, Chloe and Amnesia were laughing, watching Mylia being scolded by Titania.
Mylia felt really happy to see the smiles of her loved ones.
She hoped this happiness would never end.
However, the ground started shaking all of a sudden.
The grilled meat that Mylia pinched with her chopsticks fell off, and suddenly the entire restaurant became dark.
Chloe, Titania, and Amnesia were nowhere to be found.
ïŒWh, Whatâs happeningâŠ!?ïŒ
The next moment, she heard someone calling her name.
ăăŒăŒlya! ăŒăŒMylia! Mylia, wake up!ă
The first thing Mylia saw when she opened her eyes was Amnesiaâs panicked face.
ăâŠMmm? Amnesia-sanâŠ?ă(Mylia)
Mylia looked around.
She saw the ceiling of a small tent, and her body was wrapped in a blanket.
Apparently, she was sleeping in a tent.
ăMylia, listen. You have slept the whole day through. We have set a camp for us to rest, but unfortunately, we have to leave this place with all possible haste.ă(Amnesia)
ăEh? WhyâŠ?ă(Mylia)
ăBecauseăŒă(Amnesia)
ăŒăŒBOOMMM!
Before Amnesia could finish her sentence, the ground suddenly shook along with a heavy sound as if a giant iron ball had fallen from the sky and hit the ground really hard.
ăHya! W, What was that!?ă(Mylia)
Mylia immediately activated her sonar magic to check the surroundings.
She detected something big with a lot of magical power about several tens of meters away to the north.
ïŒWhat is that!? A monster!? Itâs really huge!ïŒ
ăMylia, thereâs an elder dragon called Zirnitra nearby.ă(Amnesia)
ăA dragon!?ă(Mylia)
ăYeah. Iâll explain it to you later, but first, we should leave this place as quickly as possible. Letâs go!ă(Amnesia)
Without waiting for Myliaâs answer, Amnesia pulled Myliaâs arm to help her stand.
ïŒA dragon! WhoaaâŠ! As expected of a fantasy world!ïŒ
When the two went out of the tent, Mylia saw the head of a black dragon that was illuminated by the moonlight through the gap in the trees.
Zirnitra was the elder dragon that was once sealed by hundreds of magicians.
Due to its strong magical power and ferocity, it was once recorded as a disaster-class threat in the dictionary of monsters.
However, it was now recognized as a legendary dragon.
ăSo the legend was true that it was sleeping in the Farthest ForestâŠ!ă(Amnesia)
ăBut why is it awake now!?ă(Mylia)
ăI donât know! The horses are beginning to panic. Letâs hurry!ă(Amnesia)
The other two female knights abandoned their tents and quickly hopped onto their horses.
Amnesia started running toward her horse, but Mylia stopped and took out her magic bag from her pocket.
ăMylia?ă(Amnesia)
ăWait, Iâll collect the tents!ă(Mylia)
When Mylia opened her magic bag, the tents were instantly sucked into it.
ăAwesome! Now, letâs hurry!ă(Amnesia)
Amnesia rushed to her horse, jumped on it, and extended her arm toward Mylia.
ăMylia!ă(Amnesia)
ăUn!ă(Mylia)
But when Mylia ran toward Amnesia, trying to reach her hand, Zirnitra stuck its head out of the trees, turned its face toward Mylia, and glared at her.
