Let's settle right now.

I had just woken up. Everyone is in a rush. Someone is cleaning up the mess of yesterday. Some are arranging war stuff.

Young and old are all busy, but I have nothing to do.

" What is all this rushing about in the morning?" I asked Korounganbi, who has just come out.

" My lady, we are going to the capital today. All the powerful villages will be present there. The King personally has summoned all of them." She answered.

" Korounganbi, do I have a brother?" I asked curiously.

She looked happy and said, " My lady, have you recovered your memory?"

" No, I was just curious," I said.

" You do have a little brother, my lady, but he has gone studying in the capital." She said.

My mother called her, and she went off to work.

I was thinking what to do? When I looked away, I saw Maipakpi and rushed to her.

Before she could say anything, I grabbed her hand and took her with me.

Soon we reach the riverside. She said, " Laija, do you know what is happening?"

"No," I answered.

" Then how are you so calm? You don't look shocked at all," She asked.

I said, " I'm more shocked and surprised than you think." I told her all the things I know.

" Demon, saintess, goddess, angel, so you mean we are in a different world, but there are people who look like us." She said.

" Exactly," I said.

" How are we gonna return home?" She asked.

" No clue. But I think we should meet up with everyone." I said.

She said, "Everyone?"

" I think all of our classmates who were on the bus will be here," I said

She said, " I don't think only our classmates travel into this world." I looked at her.

She continued, " Didn't you see other people were sitting in the front with us? They have also lost their memory."

I shook my head and said, " I wasn't paying attention. Were we all in a bus before we came here?"

" Yeah, there was also a bus that was driving alongside." She said.

I said, " Let's stop. My head is burning with questions."

" Why are you so unserious?" She asked.

" We can't know the truth by just discussing it. First of all, let's find all of our classmates and find a way out," I said.

She nodded her head in approval.

" Let's head back, my father will be worried if I disappear suddenly," I said.

She smiles. Her smile gave me peace of mind. We returned to the village.

When we were walking, I said, " Maipakpi, about the thing you said earlier, why don't we ask them directly?"

" What are you talking about now?" She asked, confused.

She wasn't sure what I was talking about, but still followed me. Looks like she has forgotten what she said.

In front of us was a scared girl. There was no one around us. She was trembling. No, I'm not bullying her.

I asked her, " Did you also suddenly travel into this world?" She nodded her head.

She said, " I was going on our school trip in a bus and I don't know what happened next. I was just here when I opened my eyes."

" Was there also a bus besides your bus before you got here?" Maipakpi asked.

That girl still looked scared. Maipakpi looks at me with a smile, indicating she was right.

" What is your name?" I asked.

" Leina." She answered.

" Don't be scared, Leina, everything will be fine. By the way, my name is Laija and hers is Maipakpi. We were also suddenly transported here," I said.

She looked calmer now. I continued, " Was there also a boy with blue eyes in your bus?"

" Yeah, He is Ryker." She answered.

" So I wasn't daydreaming," I said.

Maipakpi said, " When did you see him?"

" Before I suddenly came here," I said.

In the distance, I heard Korounganbi calling me, " My lady."

I looked in her direction, and as soon as she reached me, she said, " My Lady, let's go to prepare your things, we are leaving soon."

" Where?" I asked.

" The king has ordered to bring all the people who have lost their memory." She said.

I asked, " Is everyone from other villages also coming?"

" Yes." She said.

It was a golden opportunity. There we can meet up with everyone, and maybe that boy will show up too. Wait, what am I thinking?

" Lady, let's hurry up." She said.

" Leisana," someone called me. But as it was not a name I'm used to. It takes me a moment to react.

It's the same woman I met on the riverside who pushed me into the pond.

I don't even want to meet her. She reminds me of someone. What was her name again? I forgot.

She was about to say something, I intervened and said, " I'm sorry I have work to do, so I'm leaving."

It might look rude, but I don't want to deal with her right now. Korounganbi followed as I walked.

When we reached home, she helped me pack my things. But she was mainly doing it.

It was soon time to leave. We were leaving in a carriage. My father and I travelled in the same carriage.

My mom remained home to take care of the village when my father was away.

Along with us, there were fighters, some important people in the village, my classmates and other same like us.

It will take us two days to reach the capital. This forest is very big. And it is also very far from the capital. It will take us 14 - 15 days if we travel by carriage, so we are using a teleportation portal. My father told me.

" Dad," I called to my father.

He answered, " Yes."

"I want to learn swordsmanship and magic, and do the things you did when you fought the demon," I said.

He looked at me and smiled and said, " I'll teach you."

" You never said that to me, you always hated it, so I couldn't bring myself to teach you," he continued.

I didn't say anything, not knowing what to say.

Night came, and we rested.

I thought it would be a peaceful and fun journey. Why so much trouble?
