After preparing breakfast earlier than usual, Sin and I went through the fairy door dressed in easy to move and dirty clothes.

Starting today, I will begin a serious search for the treasure requested by the Goddess.

The goddess said she knew if Singh was a treasure, but when she entered Lyla's room yesterday, she was the first to see where she had eyes on her.But there's nothing there.

"Now, what do I do..."

Sin looked up at the window of Lyla's room while scratching her head and murmured confusingly.

This treasure hunt depends on his memory, so he seems under a lot of pressure.

If I had Lyla's memory, I'd be sorry if I didn't have to burden Singh.

"Ah... hey, Sin. Did you know there was underfloor storage in Lyla's room?There wasn't a mark, was there? "

Yesterday, while I was looking at the closet and so on, Sin was removing some floorboards and checking inside.

There was a beautiful wooden box with a lid fitted into it, making it a proper storage space.

Nor does he know what he was hiding.

It was only about the size of an A4 size toolbox, so I guess it was hiding valuables.

"When I was a kid, Lyla asked me to make it."

"That's right... but there wasn't anything inside, was there?"

"Oh, speaking of Lyla's treasure, I couldn't think of anything but that.The goddess said she was buried somewhere, and she still had to look under the dirt. "

"Ah, hey, was there any special place besides home?For example... three secret bases. "

"Secret base? Ah, no, that's not true..."

"Do you have one!?"

Unexpectedly brighten your eyes.

The noble lady herself can't do what she wants.

When I was a child, I asked my uncle for a small cabin that would appear in the children's book.A few days later, a beautiful dome-shaped east house (Gazebo) was built in the garden.

As a child, I can't say this is not the case, and I remember bringing dolls and so on there to play for a while.

Now I know that building a hut in the garden damages the landscape, and that's why I can't let a young child play in an invisible place. If I try to fulfill my wishes, it will inevitably meet with me.

"Sin, I want to go there!"

"I'll tell you what, it's not as good as I expected. It's just a cave."

"I don't mind the cave. It makes sense to go to a place of memory."

Sin nodded "yes" after thinking for a while.

"Well... then, let's take a look at the memories of the previous life."

"Great! I'm sure there's Lyla's treasure somewhere."

As far as Singh knows, there's no doubt that it's somewhere thoughtful.It may take some time, but I'm sure you'll find Lyla's treasure when you turn it all around.

"Hey, I don't know what that treasure is, but how do I know which one is right?"

"You didn't tell me exactly what the goddess was like.That's why I was hoping you'd come with me if you found me. "

"Isn't it too appropriate? I'm starting to get worried...."

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go!"

Go to the "secret base" while Sin guides us to the village where we lived in the previous life.

Naturally, the uninhabited village is very quiet.

Enjoy a morning walk while listening to the sound of windy trees and birds chirping.

The building that was Jin's house was next to Lyla's house.

Even if it is next door, it takes two minutes on the adult's feet.

There used to be livestock huts and vegetable gardens in Lyla's house, but it was never used, or it was completely wasteland.

Just beside Jin's house, there was a beautiful stream and a water wheel shed adjacent to it.All the houses along the river were built like that, and the village used to flourish in the mill industry.

Looking at the river as I listened to the explanation, several waterfowls came gracefully from upstream.

It is a large waterfowl that I have never seen before in King's Landing.

And then you realize something.

This view was a foreign landscape that I yearned for when I was Japanese.

In my previous life, I remembered the strange nostalgia of the English countryside that I watched on TV and the Internet and wanted to go someday.The reason is probably because it is very similar to this village.

Lyla must have walked this road many times.

Having been reborn as Hatano leaf name, I would have wished to return instinctively even if I had no memory of the previous life.

He glanced sharply at Sin, who was walking next door, and his eyes narrowed to miss him.

"Owner, the square in front of the church across the river was the playground for the children.The three of us were playing there till dusk, waiting for our parents to pick us up. "

Hmm, if it's a place of memories, let's stop by a bit.

Crossing the stone bridge is the main street of the village.

Along the street, stone houses are lined up, and various iron signs are displayed on the front of the house.Singh explained to me what kind of shop each house is.

From what I've seen, the village's shopping streets are filled with minimal shops.Even if people come back, they will be able to live comfortably even if they leave King's City.

"The house that was newly built at that time is completely an old house.That's how long it's been... "

"Did Jin build any houses?"

"Uh... no, I just got promoted from an apprentice and my main job was to fix houses and furniture.But the house around here seems to have been rebuilt by Lila's father. "

"Hee, this is also a house built by your father in the previous life...I wonder if it is strong against natural disasters because it is built to be sturdy.But... is this storage normal?It's not like that. "

I felt it slightly when I saw Jin's house, but there were limits to pretending not to notice.

None of the houses had been damaged for a long time, the lawn had been cut clean, and the garden trees had been pruned.

If it was soaked in water, the window frames and fittings are not strange even if they are rotten, but they have deteriorated over time, but no other damaged parts are found.

The door was locked, so I couldn't enter the house, but when I looked through the window, it was so tidy that I didn't think it had been under the water for decades.

It is as if the inhabitants who were here just now have disappeared.

"I thought when I saw it from the sky, but when I saw it, it didn't look like a terrible disaster."

"I wonder if the water we saw was blurry."

"Only pumps... We thought the water disappeared in an instant, but the goddess's boundaries were actually lifted."

"Ah! That doesn't sound strange, even if the boundary is like a membrane of water.If the time within the boundaries had stopped like Lyla's house, I could understand the state of the village. "

Certainly the priests of the time listened to God and evacuated the people before the disaster happened...

The weather was actually rough because everyone believed it, but if it hadn't developed to catastrophe, why did the goddess lie?

To stop the struggle between humans....?There is no trace of it now, but if it becomes a battlefield, it can burn down forests and houses.

Is that why you angrily shut people out of this land?Anyway, thanks to the goddess who minimized the damage in a thoughtful way, this country remains as it was.

We must sincerely thank you for living here again.

"By the way, how do the people living on the highlands near the castle handle this situation?"

"Of course you think it's a miracle of God."

"I'll come and see what's going on in this village soon.I wonder what we think.'Cause if you think the water's gone, you're already living there. "

"We have a right to live here, so we just have to be grand.Well, I'm away during the day, and even if someone comes around, they won't be seeing each other for a while. "

While talking like that, I passed the main street of the village and went out to a little square.

Sin's church is the deepest part of the street.A small church was built in front of a spacious cemetery surrounded by low stone walls.Behind the cemetery is the forest.

The square in front of the church seems to be a place of memories, but standing there didn't help me.

Then pass the trail by the cemetery and enter the forest.

After a short walk, there was a secret base of interest.

The ceiling height is slightly lower than Sin's back length and is a small cave about three tatami mats wide.

It's a little cramped for us adults, but I think it was big enough for the kids.

But rather than being a playground, it was mainly used for rainfall when collecting firewood.

Maybe other people were using it the same way.A flat stone is placed in the back so that you can sit down, and beside it there are fire branches to catch the cold.

After all, I checked every corner to see if there was anything left, but the first day ended without finding anything.

And the search day after day was difficult, and two weeks passed quickly.

A tour of the village while searching for the usual business plus.It was really fun to see the village every time there was some kind of discovery, but gradually the fatigue accumulated and my fatigue was about to peak.

All the memories of the village ended up empty, and Sin and I sat on a bench on a lookout hill for breakfast.Then, with a deep sigh, he shrugged his shoulders.

"Wow, I thought it'd be easier to find..."

"Me too... it seems like I didn't have a good idea."

Singh took the water bottle and the onigiri wrap out of the bag that was hanging from his shoulder and handed me one.

I say "thank you" and moisturize my throat with cold tea.

"... hey, Sin, it doesn't seem like it's in the village, and we're going to expand it from tomorrow?"

"In a nutshell, Lyla's range of action is quite wide.I used to cross the mountain to get herbs. "

"Beyond the mountains...!? Hmm... at least somewhere close to home..."

The mountain crossing resonates with the work that follows.Regardless of Singh, I can't recover from my cooking, so I just walk around the village every day.

I actually walked around and felt it.I despised it as a small country, but each village is quite large.Besides, we haven't covered the mountains yet.

I dared to look at it and pretended not to look at it, but in fact, I feel that you are the real one.

Gaze at the mountains surrounding the village and swallow the goku and spit.

Artemis is a country surrounded by steep mountains.I am not confident in my legs as a young lady.Even if I said that I was physically fit after I left the house, I would not be in trouble walking around the town.

Can you climb the mountain...?

"Let me think about it for a few days, so I can pick a place carefully so I don't waste as much as I can."

"I'm sorry, I left it to Singh."

"I'm sorry I'm useless...After all, I just let you walk around the village and tired you out. "

"Yeah, I'm enjoying the sightseeing.Ever since I was a kid, I've been looking all over the country.But it's getting harder to get back in time, so why don't you stop searching on weekdays and just take a holiday? "

"Yeah, well, we don't have to hurry.Ah, tell me when your feet get tough.I'll beat you up. "

Eh!?

His gaze was drawn to Sin's back.There is a trained body that makes you think it would be a waste to keep it as a cook in downtown.

Imagine yourself carried on his flimsy back, and his face became hot.

"No, that's fine, even if you don't have to...!"

"Really? The pace of walking is slowing down, and it says I'm tired."

"Lying...!?"

I turned away in a hurry.

However, in this reaction, the same is true of self-declaring "tired".

Sinx laughs next door.

"Nothing, it's just as good as this to train your ankles.So don't spoil me. "

"Fufu, I see. I want it to be sweeter... just like it used to be..."

Sin looks at you and mutters softly.

"What? I didn't hear you. Say it again?"

"... hey, it must be so delicious to eat rice balls outside.The owner made it especially delicious. "

Thin changed the subject, opened his big mouth and hit the rice balls.He always eats what I make deliciously.

I don't know why, but I was about to cry.It's just that Singh is chewing rice balls next to me.

I wonder if there were similar situations when I lived as Lyla.

"What a lovely day... The wind feels good."

I see.

Looking up, there is no cloud.A refreshing wind blew through the green carpet spreading in front of him.

When I reached out to the second onigiri while talking to Singh without any other love, I heard a man saying "Hey" from behind without any premonition.
