Kamiel’s dream was to escape the village and go out into the wider world.

The dream that I thought I would never achieve in my life came true, albeit slightly, by chance.

Even though he didn’t want to, he was kicked out of the mansion and it came true.

The flower garden that Ilho showed me was so beautiful that it felt like my heart was going to burst.

Kamiel had thought about staying here for just a little while longer before going somewhere else.

A few days passed like that… .

He still couldn’t leave the same spot.

How many days have passed already?

There was no more food around here.

It’s been a long time since I took all the fruits that were still open on a tree I was lucky enough to find and ate them.

Around here, to be exact, even though Kamiel walked through the forest for half a day, he couldn’t find anything worth eating.

Because it is such a beautiful place, is it not possible for other life to sprout around it?

Like a rose with thorns.

The reason why there is so little food in this area is that most people cannot survive.

I thought that maybe it was a defense mechanism to preserve this place.

These were all trivial thoughts.

Kamiel blinked his closed eyes.

The sky was still and would continue to be dark.

It seemed like there was still a long way until the polar night ended.

‘Is it morning or is it night?’

I had just woken up to the chill that enveloped my hands and feet.

My guess is that it will be around dawn.

I wonder what meaning this time calculation has when the sun never rises in the first place.

Kamiel tried to remember the sensation he felt a moment ago.

Before I opened my eyes yet, when I first came to consciousness, I felt like my body was floating.

Was that also the effect of cool energy?

Or was it the footprints of death left after a moment of contemplation?

Either way, Kamiel was still alive and well.

“Ulka?”

Kamiel’s eyes wavered.

When I traced the floor with my palm, I couldn’t feel the fluffy fur that I was supposed to feel when I touched it.

Even though I look around, all I can see is a field of purple flowers.

He was alone.

‘Did he go to drink water?’

“Ulka… .”

I nervously mutter the name of my new friend.

Obviously, nothing special would happen.

I’ve never seen even a common bug around here, let alone a wild beast.

Occasionally, there was only a small bird sitting on a tree and chirping.

As soon as Kamiel stood up, he stumbled.

I felt dizzy, as if a light had exploded in my head, my vision went dark, and my heart was pounding violently.

He almost fell, but managed to maintain his balance and frowned.

I put my hand on my forehead and waited for it to get better.

“Phew… … .”

Camiel let out a soft sigh and moved his feet.

All the shock has just disappeared.

“Cough! Ulka… Ulka? Where are you?”

“Ulka!”

I shouted loudly, but Ulka was nowhere to be seen.

A feeling of anxiety creeps in.

‘no way… ‘Did Ulka leave me behind?’

That can’t be possible. Even though I was thinking about it, my worry did not go away because I could not see it.

His steps were lifeless.

But I had no intention of stopping.

afraid. Kamiel was afraid of being left alone.

I thought it would be okay. Until I left the mansion and came here.

However, he who thought he would be aloof in everything was actually desperate to have someone by his side.

Even if Ulka is an animal that cannot speak, there is no one by her side now.

It was so precious to him.

‘miss… … .’

Even during this time, an entity continues to glimmer before my eyes.

Rheasian’s vision was so beautiful, yet never exaggerated.

If anything, it was less than her actual appearance.

‘Will Ulka also leave my side?’

Fortunately, contrary to his worries, Ulka was quenching her thirst in the valley.

As he trudged closer, the silver wolf ran towards him with a happy expression.

“… … .”

Kamiel said nothing and stroked his head as if responding to the furiously spinning tail.

A smile of relief appeared on his lips.

* * *

Today was another day.

Even though I didn’t see the sun go down.

Kamiel felt tired.

It’s evening now.

“Ulkaya… … .”

He was surprised when a cracking voice came out.

My throat hurt and I felt weak, so I didn’t open my mouth for a while… I didn’t know it would be like this.

Despite the change in voice, Ulka responded by nuzzling his arm.

“I… Should I not leave this place?”

Kamiel thought to himself.

As expected, Ulka seems like a smart wolf.

The guy who had been innocent just a moment ago raised his head and stared at himself.

If I could see a hint of concern in that look, was I mistaken?

Kamiel smiled weakly at Ulca and turned his head.

The flower garden moved like waves in the cold wind.

“Just… I can’t really find a reason to leave here.”

I had a dream.

A dream to see a wider world.

The dream was still moving forward, though.

I could have achieved anything now, but… .

‘I don’t know. ‘Do I really need to achieve it?’

My heart is empty.

I didn’t want to do anything.

You can also use beads to go to other areas.

Going out of here and looking for something to eat.

It all came to nothing.

‘I knew it from the beginning, but… ‘It’s so hard because I don’t have you.’

tired. Because my mind was tired, my body also became lethargic.

Before, there was no one I wanted to go with.

I had such a dream because I just wanted to escape from the village alone.

But now, because the situation has changed, the dream has also changed.

A strong but delicate girl named Leasian has become very precious.

I wanted to travel with her and see her smile.

‘But it’s a dream that can’t be achieved.’

So, I think I’ll end it here.

There are still places to go and a little bit of life left.

I seemed quite satisfied with this.

‘Even if I return to the young lady’s side. ‘If you have a body like this, you’ll only worry a lot.’

“… Ulka.”

When Camiel called, the silver wolf made eye contact and responded.

The sight inside his bright yellow eyes looked like a patient.

“You’re smart, so you can understand me, right?”

Cry.

“I’ll be here a little longer. You leave this forest and find a place where you want to live.”

Kamiel also knew what he meant.

It was so irresponsible.

Who brought Ulka to this unknown place?

I can’t wait to find a place to live.

Although he also regretted not being able to send Ulka back.

There was no way.

Because he had no will to live tomorrow.

“Sorry. To you who trusted me and followed me gratefully… For doing such a terrible thing.”

purr… .

Did Ulka also intuit something?

The purring sound was more sad than before.

“I… I’ll lie down for a moment.”

I haven’t seen Ulka leave yet.

He stood up.

Leaving behind Ulka’s worried eyes, Kamiel slowly walked towards the flower field.

I’ve never actually been inside there before.

It was partly because the flowers filled the ground so densely and it was difficult to fit inside.

I was reluctant because it felt like I was entering a wooden coffin that I once saw.

Not anymore.

One step, one step. Avoid the flowers and step in between them.

The scent of an unknown flower stirred his complicated mind.

How can I express this feeling I felt thanks to you?

I can’t think of any other modifiers, but it’s probably more precious and affectionate than anything else.

Kamiel stopped for a moment and looked up at the sky.

The dark sky is probably familiar.

The emotions felt different for him now.

If you look at it from a distance, it looks somewhat… Before the coffin lid is closed. It looked like a dead person.

He turned his head again, this time looking in the direction of his big but cute friend.

Ulka was sitting still and staring at him.

‘sorry. ‘Ulka.’

In an instant, my body collapses.

Purple flower petals fluttered noisily over him as he fell to the ground, as if he were being dragged to the ground or like a doll whose strings had been cut.

The place where I lay was on the flowers, so it was warm, but I also felt sorry for the flowers.

‘What is the lady doing?’ .’

Fresh blood was flowing down his nose.

As I quietly closed my eyes, darkness arrived and I couldn’t see anything.

While everything was still, the faint scent of flowers enveloped his body.

Now it’s time for the coffin to close.

It was time to send away the rotten old tree.

“Camiel!”

Camiel flinched for a moment as it seemed like he heard a young lady’s voice coming from somewhere.

Soon, I relaxed my body again.

‘It could be so. The young lady must be at the mansion… .’

“Camiel!”

Awww!

Now even Ulka’s cries.

The sound I heard was unusual.

However, Kamiel maintained his posture, thinking that everything was his own illusion or an illusion.

Soon, flower petals fluttered again.

He could clearly feel the heaviness of the boat, and.

‘This scent… … .’

It was not the scent of an unknown flower.

Of course, because this place was full of such scents, the scent was particularly strong.

In the midst of it all, the welcome scent of flowers as if it had come to greet him.

Kamiel opened his eyes in surprise.

“… Lady?”

“Why, why are you doing this!”

Leasian is crying heavily and shedding tears.

Kamiel absentmindedly reached out and poked her cheek.

‘Really. You’re really going in, right?’

“What are you doing now? !”

As if he was complaining, Rheasian hit him on the shoulder.

‘sick. It’s not an illusion.’

Kamiel, who only then realized everything, was astonished.

It was the moment when a miracle occurred.
