Are you ready to start your journey?

　At the top of a hill in the forest, the woman slowly turned to me and said

　Her long, dark green hair fluttered in the wind.

　A soft smile appeared on her white beauty, like she was half Oriental and half Western, and her crimson eyes were gently gazing at me.

(............)

　I, a child only up to her chest, looked up at her white beauty.

　In her hand was a pure white spear.

　A large wing decoration is closed to hide the beautiful blade and magic stone at the tip.

　What she is wearing is pure white armor.

　It's a metal armor made of multiple layers of thin armor for ease of movement, but right now, there's a large hole in its flanks.

　On its back is a large backpack.

　It is filled with heavy-looking luggage, but she carries it lightly.

　-- the woman was an adventurer.

　Her cherry-red lips open and a beautiful voice spins the words.

'Are you anxious?'
..........

　thump

　I nodded, honestly.

　She smiled gently, her white hands stroking my head as if she were laboring.

'Don't worry, I've got your back.'
..........
"You saved my life as a stranger. That's why I, Iltimina Wong, will protect you no matter what.

　A powerful voice.

　Those crimson eyes are staring straight at me, as if to show my resolve.

　The heat of my thoughts travels through them and it burns my heart.

Yes.

　I nodded back to her, trustingly.

　She smiled happily.　

　Then I turned my gaze downward.

　What stretched out there was a great forest that stretched to the edge of the horizon.　

　It was a world of green trees that seemed to go on for dozens of miles in the distance.

　And within this range as far as the eye could see, there wasn't a single town or village where people lived.

(...........)

　The horror of the great outdoors makes my mind and body tremble, even if I don't like it.

　Geez.

　The beautiful woman standing next to me squeezed my hand tightly.

'It's okay,'

　Once again, the same words.

　Those crimson eyes staring at the forest had a strong light of determination in them.

I will protect you. I will protect you. We will make it through this forest together.
Yes.

　I nodded widely.

　The palms of our joined hands were so hot.

　We laughed at each other and stepped out into the great forest of trees and started walking down the hill.

　As we walked, I peered at her neat beauty.

(............)

　I met her in this forest a few days ago.

　--As I looked up at her beautiful profile, I suddenly remembered the days leading up to my meeting with her.
