  Chapter 149: From now on {TL: By Creed} "Thank you for keeping the promise we made back then." As the conversation about the past ends, Sofia smiles warmly. Her smile is so beautiful... no matter how many times I see it, it still makes my heart race, and I find myself looking away, a bit embarrassed. "There's no need to thank me. It was something I wanted to do... though I must admit, things got a bit risky." If Sofia hadn’t saved me when I was tricked and enslaved, I would probably still be living as a slave. So, I didn’t really do anything. I somehow managed to keep our promise, but... it was all thanks to Sofia. "No, that’s not true." Sofia easily dismisses my thoughts. "Even if you were enslaved, you never gave up, did you, Fate? You kept thinking of me the whole time, didn’t you?" "Yeah, I did." "I think not giving up was the most important thing. If you had given up along the way, I probably never would have met you, an

  Chapter 148: Ambition {TL: By Creed} As usual, I played with Sofia. Playing in the snow, eating together, and then playing in the snow again. Since meeting her, I’ve been playing in the snow almost every day, and I never get tired of it. Every day, I see a different side of Sofia… and, if anything, it just keeps getting more fun. Then, one day… “Fate, do you have a dream for the future?” Out of nowhere, she asked me that. “Yeah, I do.” “Wow, you answered right away!” Sofia's eyes sparkled. It was as if she was saying, “What kind of dream is it? Would you tell me?” “I want to be an adventurer.” “An adventurer…?” I want to take on various requests, lend my strength to many people. Defeat strong foes and be called a hero. Explore unknown places and find treasure. That’s the kind of adventurer I want to be. “Why do you want to be that?” “The reason isn’t anything big. The other day, my mom and dad read me a storybook about an adventurer… and it was so thrilling!” I can still remember

  Chapter  147: Sofia's Thoughts {TL: By Creed} I didn’t have any friends. My body wasn’t very strong... If I pushed myself even a little, I would often end up bedridden. Because of that, I wasn’t good at sports. I also avoided moving around too much. That’s why I didn’t have any friends. For a child, just sitting still at home is boring... And since I couldn’t play with others, I figured that’s just how it was. So, I was alone. I always played by myself. I would read books inside the house... Play with my dolls... I was always by myself, but I accepted that’s just the way things were. I thought being alone was normal. ...Until that day. "~♪" That day, I was out for a walk. Even though my body wasn’t strong, it wasn’t so weak that I couldn’t go for walks. On days with good weather, when I was feeling well, taking a leisurely walk was part of my daily routine. "Whoa!?" Then, a boy suddenly appeared in front of me. Correction. I exaggerated a bit. The boy was abou

  Chapter 146: Girls long for princes {TL: By Creed} “Hah, hah, hah…” I run through the snowy town. Out of breath, my body feels heavy. Even so, I keep running with all my might. To be honest, there’s no real need to rush this much. But... I just want to see her as soon as possible. "Sofia!" "Oh... Fate." When I arrive at the park, Sofia, who had come earlier, greets me with a bright smile. Her smile, like a flower in bloom, is so beautiful. "S-sorry. Am I late?" "No, not at all. I just arrived early." Saying that, Sofia points to the park clock. Five minutes before the promised time. It’s true, I’m not late, but… "Sofia, how long have you been waiting?" Today, it’s snowing just a little. Maybe that's why there’s a bit of snow piled on Sofia's head. "I’ve only been here a short while." "Um..." That’s a lie. It’s definitely a lie. She must’ve been waiting for at least thirty minutes. I don’t know why she came

  Chapter 145: A new town and new encounters {Tl: By Creed} Clatter, clatter —the wheels of the carriage rattled. Along with it, a faint vibration was transmitted to me. It was a very boring time.   But now, that time is over. “Wow!” As I stepped down from the carriage, a scene I had never seen before spread out before me. It was a very beautiful town, filled with lots of greenery and flowers. “This is...” “Yes, Fate,” “This is the town where we’ll be living from today,” my father and mother said, patting me on the head. Both of them were smiling. Maybe they were looking forward to our new life as much as I was. I felt the same way... “Dad! Mom! Can I go explore the town?” “Hmm... I understand how you feel, but I’m worried you might get lost.” “Fate, do you know the way?” “Yeah. Our new house is next to the flower shop near the park, right?” “You’ve already remembered? Hehe, Fate, you’re so smart.” “Well, then I guess there’s no need to worry. But if you do get lost, show this to an ad

  Chapter 144: The Encounter That Day {TL: By Creed) I spent the afternoon leisurely exploring the town as well. Since it’s her hometown, Sofia seemed to be having a lot of fun. I was enjoying myself, too. It’s my first time visiting Leafland. I’ve seen all sorts of things… Had Sofia guide me around… And being able to see the hometown of someone so important to me made me very happy. Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, the sun was starting to set. The sky was dyed red, and the sun was about to disappear beyond the horizon. The town was illuminated by its lingering light, shining like a jewel. This moment is so beautiful. “...It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” “...Yeah.” Sofia and I were gazing over Leafland from a park on a hilltop. We watched the town bathed in the light of the sunset, together. “Fate.” “Yeah?” “Thank you.” “Huh…?” Why is she thanking me? Not understanding, I tilted my head in confusion. Seeing that, Sofia giggled softly. “Right now, Fate, you look like a small animal

  Chapter 143: I got it {TL: By Creed} We browsed through several shops... And then took a walk in the park with Sofia... By the time we started to feel hungry, we decided it was time for lunch. "This place is the number one recommendation in Leafland," Sofia said. "It looks really stylish," I replied. The place Sofia had brought me to was a restaurant specializing in fish dishes. As we stepped inside, the delicious aroma immediately filled the air, making my stomach rumble. "Hmm, what should I choose?" Herb-grilled, pie-crusted, salt-baked... There were so many options to choose from. Sofia seemed to be struggling with the same decision, staring intently at the menu. "I haven’t had the pie-crust fish in a while... But then again, a simple grilled fish is hard to pass up. However..." "Hey, Sofia," I interrupted. "Yes?" "If you're having trouble deciding, why don’t we order the ones we’re both interested in and share t
