Prologue

“You have to beco”

These were her mother’s last words

When she was going to become alone, this is what her mother told her

Upon hearing this, it didn’t ? She had no

This happened three years ago Three years later, she is still running around in the forest

To run in the forest you need two things, courage and skill

She violently breathed through her mouth, the only direction she could run was forward

Originally she wanted to find some mushrooms in the forest, so she wore an open-collar

green shi+rt and shorts, a sis had

bruises all over, weeds and wild bushes had made sure of this The bushes and branches

had also punctured her skin, causing blood to run down her legs The summer air in the

forest was hot, whichupwards, she

saw the sun shi+ning through the trees——

If you set eyes upon her, she would look like soh school She was

not used to a forest environe was on the frontier and was surround

by forests Her arms were short, siave her the

i on ould look at her She

had black hair and a ponytail, her brown eyes kept watch on as in front of her as she

ran Suddenly, she tripped, but——

(I mustn’t stop——)

She didn’t want to stop Fro in her chest,

she would reach her limit soon Here eyelids were swollen, she was sleepy and just wanted

to forget this stumble

(I mustn’t stop——)

She repeated silently to herself She didn’t look back, lest the footsteps co from behind

her would catch up People were chasing her, three people froe to be precise

When she went outside the village, they followed her, she’s been running ever since ——

What will happen when they catch her? She didn’t know, but the three men were still

tracking her, they instinctively tracked her using only their senses They made no sound,

didn’t even say “Stop” or “wait”, they just tried to catch up to her

Herthis——nevertheless she still tried to make an effort to

run, even if she would be caught sooner or later If she was caught, she would make no

effort to resist

(I mustn’t stop——)

She knew this, but——

(I have to die——)

She said inside herself

Suddenly, her body fell to the ground She fell down, her face hit the roots of a tree She

rolled over, her back pressed against the forest

Froure of aabove her A

feeling of disgust spread throughout her body, but, this stopped, her body was extremely

tired and she couldn’t move anymore She breathed deeply, it hurt

(I can’t stand up——)

A whi to support herself——but this was

impossible

(If I don’t escape——)

She wanted to drag herself through the forest, she wanted to move forward——but this was

impossible

At that rabbed her ankle

“!”

She saw the face of a young boy standing beside her Her right hand moved instantly, she

tried to scratch his face with her nails, with little effort her nails scratched the teenagers ache

covered face But she was the one who felt pain, her nails were broken

The teenager outstretched his ar into her collar She then heard her shi+rt

buttons being undone
