"Hey Erwin, can you tell me what was the thing I saw in the forest where I found you?"

I was able to make up with Ilya-nee because uncle Alto and Elis-san help me out, Uncle said he followed me to the forest and seeing a thing there that I honestly don't remember at all.

"I'm sorry... I couldn't remember"

That's the only words that come out of my mind, no matter how hard o try to remember, I couldn't pull out a single memory of what am I doing in the forest.

I was so sad and depressed after seeing Ilya-nee completely mad at me, I did a thing that I shouldn't be doing and makes Ilya-nee sad.

"Did you see any person who's fighting the magical beast in the forest when you're there?"

Uncle keeps asking me some strange questions, I do remember I'm running away after Ilya-nee mad at me and just keep running somewhere, but what happened after that, I couldn't remember anything and I keep saying the same thing that I didn't recall any memories I went to the forest.

"Then what in the world was that I saw"

Uncle Alto let out a deep sigh and look down, I can see some confused expression but I can also feel that he's being afraid of something.

"What are you guys are talking about?"

A red-haired girl coming from the kitchen bringing a tray with some cup of tea.

"Elis-san, please let me make the tea instead, I can't bother you with such work"

"It's fine, it's fine, I'm good with making tea anyways and you like it don't you?"

"I'm so honored that you made it for us, but for a noble like you to do such a job instead of me"

"Please Ilya-san, just address me casually, I don't really like it when people address me too formally"

This red-haired girl is noble and I wasn't really aware of it for the first time I met her back then when she saves me from that forest and now I see that Ilya-nee and Elis-san are surprisingly close now.

I'm happy that Ilya-nee was able to make a friend with a person that also the same age as her, there wasn't any person around the neighborhood that also has the same age as her.

"Ah right I almost have forgotten about it, Ilya, Erwin, you guys want to reconsider moving to capital until the winter end?"

Now that I remember it, uncle Alto always told me and Ilya-nee to live in the capital to ensure our safety or something and it seems that I understand it after seeing things in the south forest that can actually endanger people around the village.

Ilya-nee seems to be concerned about it and looks like she would accept that offer but with it looks hard for her to accept it.

"How about my place?"

Elis-san suddenly talking and giving us an offering.

"We can't Elis-san, to be in a Gaisras's family house just to shelter ourself isn't right"

"We are not going to live in my main family house, I live alone apart from my family outside the capital, I don't really like living in a main house though"

Elis-san takes a sip of her tea and smiled at us.

"You guys can freely come over my place if you want"

"But that's..."

Ilya-nee seems that she wants to refuse, but she can't because Elis-san herself offers us to live in her place.

"Can I at least take Erwin with me? one of my acquaintance always wanted to meet him and he's a really good person, he helped me a lot"

"Ehh..."

Ilya-nee looks surprised when Uncle said that he at least take me with him because this acquaintance of him wanted to meet me and I can only think it's the person who gives Uncle the magic book that Uncle ended up giving it to me, and if it is, I myself also wanted to meet this person and I'd be lucky if it's really him because I want to show my gratitude to him.

"Is it the person who gave you the magic book that I have now?"

I want to make sure he's going to take me to the person I meant to.

"Yeah, he's Rosaku-san, he's a magic researcher, and he's a nice person"

"Then Ilya-nee, please don't mind me and you can go to Elis-san's place, I want to meet this person Uncle's been talking about"

"If you say so...."

It looks like Ilya-nee's making up her mind and decided to move until the winter's end.

"Then I'll ask Marina to come to pick us up Ilya-san"

Elis-san then writes a note on a paper and then stand up and form a fire that looks like a bird.

"They'll arrive tomorrow at noon maybe, umm... Alto-san, right? You and Erwin can go ahead to the capital first, and if Erwin wants to come to my house you're more than welcome to stay"

And that night Uncle and Elis-san spent the night at this house.
