Somehow, The Villainess Who Regressed in Time Lost Her Magic Power, so She Turned into a Secluded Maiden

90

When I opened my eyes, the darkness was spreading there.

“Where? Anyone, no one?

I look around and I see nothing, and no one responds to my voice. Only my voice sounded empty in the dark.

“Master Leonie? Roger?”

I’ll call the two names that were with me until earlier, but I can’t even hear a single sound of the wind where my ears are clear. I explore the surroundings with my hands in front of me wondering if there is anything to touch, but nothing to touch the walls, the leaves, just the feeling of being left alone in a dark space.

– Where am I? Why am I here?

Doubts swirl in my head, and I even begin to feel fear in the space of just one person, holding my own body in such a way as to protect myself.

That’s when the puffy, pale, soft light rises in the darkness in front of me.

I wonder what it is, and as I stare at it, its light gradually widens, illuminating my surroundings brightly.

Then I can see that the place where I stand is on the grass.

Looking around, he apparently stood in a place surrounded by trees.

Forest? But why?

I must have been in Busque territory with Master Leonie and Roger. Yes, meet Master Katrina… so…

Yes, it hurts like a sudden crack in the head…

No, I don’t remember.

“Nyer.”

Deeply contemplating, he hears a cat squeal and looks up. When I look over to see where I heard it from, I find a small shadow in the part of the tree that overlaps a little further from where I stand.

“Cro!”

“Nyer.”

Looking carefully at the shadows, there was a familiar black cat figure there. My body moves first rather than thinking, and I rush to the side as I call on Cro.

Where is this place and why is there cro? Such a thing fell out of my head, only the joy of having Cro there warmed my chest.

“Cro! It’s not Cro! I was worried. Where have you been?

As I rushed over and held Clo up, Clo rang small as she twirled herself like a tickle in my arm. The way it looked was so adorable, it was only one day away, but even that thought passed, like we hadn’t seen each other in months.

Having been able to meet with Kuro also seems to have slightly lightened the finesse I felt until earlier. Besides, the fact that I found Clo here…

Think about it that way. Take another good look around, apparently because the cause of darkness was night.

Turning her face up, she could see the stars shining through the gaps in the trees, though slightly because of the many clouds.

“Beautiful…”

I feel my heart restore calm to the warmth of the chrome, and the brilliance of the stars I see in the distance.

But the question is, what do we do now? If we stay here, we’ll be lost for sure, and we’ll all be worried.

Even so, how do I get through this deep forest… When I’m so worried, the clo I was holding in my arm is moving my ears piquely and my face chirping.

“Chro, what’s wrong?

Wondering, peeking into Clo’s face, Clo jumps off my arm and lands beautifully on the ground. And walk straight into the back of the woods with Tokotoko.

In a hurry for it, I accidentally ran over to Cro and said, “Cro!” and call his name. Cro then turned to respond to that voice and came back to me and rang around my feet several times groping to complain about ‘Nyaa’ and something, and started walking again to go back into the woods.

“… you mean come here?… maybe?

“Nyer.”

As if Cro rang to say ‘yes’ to my answer, he began to go down the road again at the speed at which Tokotoko and I could arrive.

I don’t know why, but I certainly can’t help staying here like this. I rethink that and get behind the clo. Then, Clo started going straight without a stray gesture and sometimes looked back as if I had been properly arrived or confirmed. But when I made sure I was getting there right, I looked forward again and started walking.

“Oh?… Is that a light?… Matsuaki?

I wonder how long you walked. Clo stopped his leg when something he didn’t usually exercise snuck up or my breath began to rise. Notice that, standing and breathing near the clo, I find a red flaming light in the distance.

Crowe doesn’t intend to go any further, he just stares forward jizzily. When I look at him and hold Clo, I stare at Clo’s gaze again.

– Huh?… Shh.

I wonder what the lights are. When I turn my gaze forward with anticipation to see if anyone is there, the sight just shows in my sight and I feel like I can lose my blood all at once.

My body gradually starts to cool from the tip of my leg and I feel rattled and my whole body tremble.

Lies, right?

Because…

That can’t be…

I do see a certain sight in my eyes.

Still, I can’t believe it, why, why and all that comes to mind.

Because.

It was in my sight.

It was just me who was ahead of my gaze.

Yes, what was there was my past sitting on the ground trembling with despair and fear, about to be stabbed right now from behind with a sword.

That’s what was spreading in front of me.

“No… no… why…”

I don’t want to accept this sight with rattles and trembling, I’m mouthing something. That’s not a conscious thing, a word out of your mouth naturally.

The feet harden like sticks and are heavy as they are weighted with lead.

Still, I wanted to do something about it.

Sarah and your men.

That’s exactly who you’re trying to kill right now.

I want to help somehow, and I try to step forward.

But it seems to be blocked by a solid wall like clear glass in front of it, unable to proceed.

Then, “Somebody… Somebody!,” he shouted.

The voice doesn’t seem to be heard across the wall either, and a thief with an empty, nasty grin, such as my footscratch, wields his sword around my chest.

“…… Huh!!

Meditate your eyes in fear.

Scary, I don’t like it.

I don’t want to die.

Scary, scary.

Somebody help me.

I swirl my whole body around, as if my emotions were going to pass at that time.

Instead of stopping trembling, it just increases.

The rattles and body tremble as they hold the chrome in their icy, chill-cut hands so they don’t manage to drop it.

Slowly open your eyes, which had been closed tightly in fear.

There, the way I look without lying and moving.

And there was a sight of the thieves laughing and peeking into it with Niyaniya.

Dead?

… That’s what I look like.

What my past looks like……

The moment I was killed, you mean?

Why, why. Why should I look at this?

I don’t want to see this.

Kneel on the spot so that the force can fall out of your knees all the time.

I don’t want to see the sight in front of me anymore.

That’s what I think. I meditate my eyes firmly. But I open my eyes slowly to the voice that cries out as the cro in my arms calls me ‘Nyaa’.

Then the dazzling light spreads from around me, which I fell into earlier with my chest stabbed, and it glitters as if wrapping me up.

“What… this…”

The light is so divine and gently glowing. I don’t seem to be the only one surprised by this sight, and the thieves seem surprised and screaming at the end of their gaze. After that, it is lagging behind as if it were in fear.

And after that light entered my body again, and my surroundings calmed down with Sin, I opened my eyes to the person who emerged from a space where there was nothing.

Yes, because it was someone I knew very well.

“… Theo… Doll… Sama…?
