"Hmm...... It seems to be getting worse and worse. No matter how laid-back she is, she knows how dangerous it is to go it alone in this environment.

The trees held out the cold wind, making her barely able to withstand the cold, but the fog never lifted.

The further she went into the forest, the more likely she was to encounter dangerous beasts, and from the very beginning, she occasionally heard a few wolf howls in the distance.

Moreover, her stomach turned out to be hungry again.

It seems that this little body has a good appetite, and I regret that I didn't eat more for dinner.

The fog is getting bigger and bigger, so you have to walk more carefully so as not to fall.

I'm holding on to the damp trunk of the tree and moving slowly, but I'm gradually losing out which direction I'm coming from.

After all, there are trees everywhere, and there is nothing to be found that can be used as landmarks.

It's even a little troublesome now, trying to call the system today to see if there are any spoilers, but who knows, the system ignores her at all.

In the dark forest, she inadvertently smelled a sweet smell that was different from the smell of damp earth.

It wasn't a very strong smell, but the inexplicable appetite-stimulating aroma made her hungry stomach react.

Eyes that were almost accustomed to the darkness looked around, and Imaki decided to follow the scent.

It wasn't long before she came to a dense field of plants, about the same height as today, with rather thick leaves.

The faintly purple-red leaves on the edges are indeed the source of the sweet smell, and Imasao, who was attracted to it, stretched out his hand and planned to pluck a piece to take a look.

"What are you doing?" Just as his fingertips were about to touch, the sudden yell frightened him and retracted his hand.

However, the young man who emerged from the fog also seemed to be shocked, approached her with a stiff expression, and pulled her away from the plant with his hand.

"Stupid! Running into this forest in the middle of the night, and trying to touch the leaves of the red rabbit ears, what are you kidding? No matter how fragrant it is, you can't pick it, let alone eat it. ”

Although the coarse cloth clothes worn by the young man made him look like a farmer or a woodcutter, it was polite and elegant to address the present dynasty as "you."

Jinchao raised his eyes to look at the blonde young man who "saved" her life, about twenty years old, with a medium stature that was inconspicuous at first glance, but his facial features were actually very upright.

"Thank you for saving me, but what are you doing here?" He hadn't run into the forest in the middle of the night.

The young man turned his back to her and said, "I live around here, and I also planted these red rabbit ears...... You should know that this is a leaf used to protect against wild beasts, right? If you were a child growing up nearby, your parents would have taught you a long time ago...... Well? ”

The young man who was worried about whether he was stupid in the future, suddenly frowned halfway through speaking, "You don't live nearby?" Where did it come from? ”

When he looked at Jinchao, he realized that she was not a resident of the neighborhood.

Hearing the natural questioning, Jin Chao nodded, "South." ”

The straightforward answer surprised the youth, "So far?" How the hell did you get here? ”

"Take a carriage." Is it difficult to walk on your legs?

"That's not what I meant. Of course I knew it was a carriage ride......"

When the young man suddenly didn't know how to ask, he thought for a moment and asked, "Well, actually, I hope you don't ask me why, but I must go back to Count Sich's house now." Excuse me, which direction are you going from here? ”
