Chapter 5: The promise

“let's get out of here..."



Or so I said, I forgot that I'm still small, a kid who is weak and can die anytime.



Same case to Lyn, but I have the memory of "me" in my past life, a 10 years old like me will survive here, I have to learn how to hunt, thankfully when I was in that house, I secretly practicing Swordsmanship.



Though I said that, it's just a self-thought. I only know how to swing the sword, that's all, and I can't kill a monster using a wooden sword right?



We don't have anything right now as a self-defense. Should I look around?



I notice that something is gripping my shirt, when I look at my right side; there's Lyn sleeping. No, she goes back to sleep... She's drooling...



She must be really exhausted. Hm?



I notice that there is so many dry bloods in my clothes, oh yeah. I got slashed back then. Then that too...



I look around of my body and check if there's a scar left in my body...



"impossible..."



I just realized it just now, how the hell did I survive there? What happen to my injuries? everything is gone except the dry blood in my clothes.



"I should have died back then..." I said while confused "If not, Then. I would be on critical state..."



I looked at my sister, I remember what she said when she was pulling me back then.

'I can used magic', did Lyn used her magic to saved me?



.... Yeah, as if....



Even if Lyn has magic, the mana she needs to save me in that critical state; should be a large amount of mana. My condition is in a perfect shape you know?



No scars, great condition, what's more if I manage to survive, I should still be on coma but I woke up early than waking up after a week or so, also there is no body ache or a condition that I'm so weak...



So, what happen?



Lyn doesn't want to speak, then it only means that someone help us to escape from death, then who is it? Maybe that person asks Lyn to keep it secret, but why?



Am I just speculating something, that someone help us in that situation?



If it's really Lyn...



I look at my little sister again, I brushed her hair softly using my fingers, I should be careful so she won't wake up.



But if it's really her then... No let's stop now, it's normal for me to put some doubt on her you know? Because this kind of healing need to be at least a priest of high position in the church, a bishop, a pope... Or...



"a Saint..."



Seriously, impossible, but if its Lyn, I will thank her, but I will not accept it if she has a title of a Saint... Why?



It might be great if you have a Saint title because everyone will treat you well, or you can do what you want as long as the condition is within its limit. But for me, no...



This might be an Otome game I played, but I'm being realistic in this, this is not a game anymore, just like the situation right now.



"this is reality... A reality that anything can be happen without you knowing..."



Being a Saint might be great but I don't want to see Lyn being a Saint.



Why? As I experience living ten years of life here, I became mature to my surroundings,



"Abused of power..."



Yeah, they said that Saint has a lot of freedom. But if I point my perspective as a higher aristocrat or a bishop on a church, I would use the Saint as the sign of power, used her as a decoy and a pawn to be at the center of power struggle, in political gains...



Yes, there might be someone who's genuinely helping the Saint, but... There Will be a lot of aristocrats or some other people who have higher standing who wants the saint’s power...



Hmm, if I were to meet the Saint, probably the first thing I would do is to eradicate those who want to used her for personal gain, for their greediness on power.



Even if I think that I would use her for greed or what, I won't do that. I just put myself to a position of an aristocrats who is greedy of power, for example that fatty...



Because being a Saint. In the outside appearance she has a lot of free will, no limitation and smiling in front of people but how about the inside?



Those the Saint has the word of 'Freedom'?



For me, the answer is, no. The heroine of this world, might be struggling... No if they find out that she was a Saint there will be a lot of struggle that she will experience, she might get stressed, or worst-case scenario she might get depressed you know?



Though, if I find out that she was a bitch then bye bye.



I don't like the heroine if she were a bitch but I won't hate her.



It sounds ridiculous that I'm thinking this but it's not impossible right?



I don't know what will happen but I should expect the unexpected.



How I wish I can remember all of the memory of 'me' in my past life, in the first place, did I really not finish the game? And I could also use the game in here as an advantage you know? The events, the upcoming scene, and those capturing targets and the villains...



I shook off my head and touch my temple.



"I should think first on how we can survive here..."



Let's discard concerning how I got saved, for now. We should learn how to survive in this area...



I get out of the bed; slowly as not to wake Lyn, then I felt that there is something in my pocket. When I took it and see what the object is.



" pfft! "



Hahaha, I laugh a little while a little bit of blushed in my cheek while looking of the object.



"this bear will not leave you no matter what"



I remember those words, those sentences, every detail of it.



"so... we will meet again, for sure!" said by the girl " no, Let's meet again, so you must remember!"



She gave me a bright smile back then, which is rare for her, even knowing her a little back then because of her cold appearance and atmosphere, you would normally think that" this girl is not smiling"



" yeah, I have a promised that I have to accomplished no matter what," I said " so I can't die here without seeing her..."



I smile while remembering such nostalgic promised, a promised to the person who I want to see right now... The girl who's also important to me just like my little sister... Someone I also cherished...



"fufufu"



I move out of the room while holding the bear key chain in my left arm and started to look for something that I have to used.
