Chapter 37

Last night I keep writing to finish the book that I want to give to Nemesio. Today is the last day he will be able to stay at this place. Tomorrow morning most of the guests will leave and back to their homes.

Brother Winslow came early in the morning. Looking at how sleepy I was, he scolds me for not properly having some rest and staying until late at night. After eating my breakfast I feel more energized and I started to prepare the thing that I want to do for my last holiday-like day. Should I do some exercise?

As this body is still young, it's still flexible and I could easily do the difficult yoga movement that needs a flexible body. If I had to look at my current situation positively, I will say that I have a higher speck in health than in my previous life. Good body condition, good memory, and a beautiful face as she is the last boss-like character in the game. And because of my past life memory, I will be different from Renneshia in the game. If only she didn't have such a terrible future.

But after living as Renneshia and learning about this world, I became more confused because there are too many things that are not being explained in the game. It might be related to the heroine's point of view. If I can know about what will happen in the future, I will be able to live easier in this world as Renneshia.

Knock, knock, knock.

'It must be Nemesio.'

I opened the door to look at the person that knocking on my door. It was as what I expected. Nemesio standing in front of my room with a sad expression. It surprised me.

"What happened? Why do you look so sad?" I decided to ask him.

"I will leave with my mom tomorrow morning and I won't be able to help you," Nemesio said with a sad tone as if he will cry.

"You don't have to worry about me. I will be able to find a way to free myself (run away) from this place. I'm fine. Here, it's my gift for you." I said it to stop him from trying to help me and give him the book to cheer him up.

"Gift?! For me?! Really?!" He was delighted with my gift and quickly open the book.

"Huh??? There is nothing written in here!?" He feels confused as nothing is written in that book.

Of course, I am not teasing him with the blank book. It just needs to be read in a special way.

"You can read it now. I use a special way to write it. You can only able to read it after around four years later. At that time, you need to warm the paper like this and the things written in it will appear. But you could only do it four years later." I show him how to read the secret notes but I also make him read it around the time after I left this hell-like place.

I am thinking to run away after I'm able to learn about magic and alchemy. Four years should be enough for me to learn the basic. I revised my plan as I thought that it will be better to leave this place earlier and accumulate some money in case that my mother will get sick like what happened in the game.

At the end of this secret book that I give to Nemesio, I also write about my real identity and I told him that if he could meet me later, he should just call my real name. Yesterday I feel really embarrassed because of Sister Ancelina teased me by calling me a fairy. I don't want something similar to, happen in the future.

"Are you writing it with your fairy power? Can you show me more of your power?" Nemesio asks with glittering eyes full of curiosity.

"I can use any of it because I was too tired after writing that book (the whole night). But I'm glad that I can give it to you." I said it with a wry smile as I feel bad about lying to such a pure child.

"Because of me..., I will promise you that I will study harder and if we can meet again I will help you. I will do everything to help you." Nemesio said with a determined face.

'Ugh, what a critical hit! My guilt increased till hit the max bar. Such a good kid.'

"Y-You don't need to push yourself too hard. Just do your best. I will feel sad if you get injured. As you can see, nothing bad will happen to me. I will be fine."

I was afraid that this kid (Nemesio) will push himself too hard and he might get hurt if he couldn't focus on his training later. And my guilty meter has been full. His goodwill makes me feel extremely bad for lying to him like this.

"Un, I will listen to your words. But if you need my help, please let me know. I will always come to help you." He nodded his head and said.

"What do you want to do for today?" I decided to change the topic because I will only feel more guilty if he shows me now of his goodwill.

"I just wanted to say goodbye to you because I promised my mom that I will attend the party with her today. I..." He said with a sad tone and suddenly stopped talking.

"Do you want to say something? Did something happen?" I ask as he seems to be depressed.

"Will you feel lonely when I leave? You will be alone in this place. Although I want to take you to my house if you are not trapped in this place. But I don't know how to free you from the magic..." He said as his voice getting smaller as he continues to speak.

'Oh my goodness, his kindness is hurting my heart. It's like putting some salt in your injuries.'

"Even though I'm currently like this, I'm quite good at magic so I will be able to free myself soon. But I need to go back to my home. I don't know when I will be able to meet you again (after I ran away from this place). So I will miss you rather than feel lonely." I really will feel that I will miss this good kid later even after I leave this place.

"I-I will miss you too!" He said with a bright smile.

"Here I'll also give you this." I give him some chocolates.

It was something that Brother Winslow give me this morning. He said that he heard from Sister Ancelina that I made a friend with Nemesio so he told me to give Nemesio these chocolates. I wonder if Sister Ancelina also told him about how Nemesio called me.

"Woah, it's the delicious sweets from yesterday. Thank you." Nemesio smiles brightly.

"Um, you tell me before that you will attend the party. Will your mother be angry if you are late?" I need to make sure that I won't get him into any trouble.

"Oh, right. I need to go. Bye. I hope I will be able to meet you again." He said as he quickly run back to his parent's place.

As he leave my room, I began to write my notes.

"Lonely, huh? I think that I'm quite blessed." I muttered.

Although I currently have a life like a war prisoner in some stories, I am still able to eat delicious food and learn freely for my future. But...a lot of things that I can't understand keep happening. No, in fact even though I know about some future, I am really don't know about anything. And it might be caused by the butterfly effects of my actions.

I have heard that 'Live is a mystery.' So it's always unpredictable for a normal person like me. The only thing that I can do for my future is to get prepared for it. All the knowledge and skills that I can get is the only thing I can use it when I need them in the future. And I hope that it will be useful for me.

I keep writing while thinking about a lot of things. But suddenly my eyes become heavier. I tried to keep myself to be awake but in the end, I fell asleep.

***

"Haa...,haa..."

Why do I suddenly run in the middle of the forest?

I don't know why but I feel that I need to run from the people that chasing me...

'Huh??? Why did I being chased by them? Where is this?'

I keep running but because of the difficult terrain, my feet were tripped by the tree roots.

"Kya!!!"

My body fell into the slope. My whole body hurts.

"She is here! Capture her and take her to our lord!"

A group of men in black outfits run to capture me.

My body rolled down until I arrived at the slope base. I don't know what to do in my current condition.

'Is this my end?'

'Eh??? Why does my body get bigger? What happens to me? Is this a dream?'

As I thought that, another sound come from my back.

"Who are you? What are you doing in our territory?"

A man's angry voice came from behind me.

I was sandwiched between the two groups. In front of me was a group of people that chasing me and behind me seems to be a group of angry men.

'What happened? Someone, please tell me what happens?'
