Tears were falling from the eyes of the two girls sitting in front of .
Seeing them like that, I gave a small smile.
"What happened to you two?" I asked softly.
"Ayal... are you alright?" one of them asked with worry.
I raised both of my hands slightly toward them.
"What could possibly happen to ?" I replied with a faint smile.
As I tried to stand up, I held my head.
My head felt incredibly heavy.
Looking around, I was a little surprised.
Green grass stretched everywhere around us.
The two girls were sitting right in front of .
I smiled gently at them again.
"Are you two alright?"
Then I looked around once more and asked,
"Where are we now?"
After hearing my question, Hinata looked at and said,
"We are very far away now."
I stared at her in surprise.
"Far away...? You an we ca this far?"
"Yes," she replied. "We are in the forest now. This place is very far from our academy."
I turned my gaze toward Aira.
She nodded and said,
"Hinata is telling the truth. We are really far away now."
Then she added,
"You were the one who brought us here."
"What? I brought you here?" I asked in confusion.
"Yes," Aira replied. "You brought us to this place."
After hearing their words, I finally realized sothing.
Milia...
It must have been Milia who brought us here.
I asked them,
"Is there any way for us to leave this place?"
After hearing my question, Aira answered,
"Yes... there is a way."
"But..."
"But what?" I asked while looking at her.
She hesitated for a mont before speaking.
"The problem is... everyone is probably searching for us right now."
Hearing that, I frowned slightly.
"You an... we can’t go back now?"
Aira looked at and said,
"You were the one who brought us here. Because of that, everyone believes that Hinata was helping you escape."
"That’s why..."
Two people were sitting in front of . Tears were falling from their eyes.
Seeing them like that, I gave a small smile and said,
"Hey... what happened to you two?"
"Ayal, are you alright?"
I raised both of my hands toward them and replied calmly,
"What could possibly happen to ?"
As I tried to stand up, I held my head.
My head felt incredibly heavy, as if sothing was pressing down on it.
When I looked around, I couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
All around was green grass, stretching as far as I could see.
The two of them were sitting right in front of .
I smiled slightly and asked,
"Are you two alright?"
"Where... are we right now?" I asked while looking at them.
After hearing my question, Hinata looked at and said,
"We’re very far away now."
Hearing her words, I stared at her in shock.
"You an... we ca this far?"
"Yes. We’re inside a forest now.
This place is very far from our academy."
I turned to look at Aira.
She nodded and said,
"Hinata is telling the truth. We’re really far away now.
You’re the one who brought us here."
"What? I brought you here?" I asked in confusion.
"Yes. You’re the one who brought us to this place."
After hearing their words, I finally realized sothing.
It must have been Milia...
She was the one who brought us here.
I looked at them and asked,
"Isn’t there any way for us to leave this place?"
After hearing my question, Aira replied,
"There is a way... but there’s a problem."
I looked at her and asked,
"What problem?"
"Well... it seems everyone has gone out to search for us."
Hearing that, I said,
"You an... we can’t go back now?"
Aira looked at and said,
"You were the one who brought us here. Because of that, everyone now thinks that Hinata actually helped them."
I looked at her and asked,
"You an everyone will co searching for us now, right?"
"Yes."
Then Aira suddenly looked at with frustration.
"Ayal, why did you do sothing like this? We could have protected ourselves sohow... but now, because of you, everyone thinks Hinata really did it. Now they might not hesitate to punish her."
I looked at her silently.
Seeing her like this, I was surprised.
The girl standing in front of ...
Was she really always like this?
For a few minutes, I stayed silent.
If everything she said was true...
Did I really make the right choice?
I don’t know what exactly I did.
But one thing was certain.
I never wanted soone who did nothing wrong...
to be punished for sothing they didn’t do.
I looked at Hinata and said softly,
"Hinata... no matter what happens, I will always believe in you."
Then I gave her a small, reassuring smile.
।
Seeing my faint smile, Hinata’s face imdiately turned red.
She quickly looked away and muttered softly,
"Y-Yes... I know."
Watching the strange interaction between the two of us, Aira began to feel a little annoyed.
She turned toward and said,
"But first, we need to figure out how to get out of this place."
She grabbed and looked at , and I was a little surprised by her sudden action. For a mont, I didn’t know what to say. As soon as she said those words, I slowly pushed myself up from the grass and stood up, still trying to understand what was happening.
I was surprised when I saw it. But the mont my eyes focused on it, my shock only grew stronger. The sight before was so beautiful that it was far beyond anything I had ever imagined.
A voice suddenly called out from behind .
When I turned around to look, I saw Aira and Hinata standing there.
Seeing them, a small smile ford in my mind.
Even so, I couldn’t stop thinking to myself—if I had made a mistake, how would I ever fix it?
