The cedar trees blocking out the sun flew past the car window.
On the third day, we finally set foot on the road to Agamand Manor.
I am really grateful to Lazarus who was driving in front. If he hadn't traveled day and night to find this carriage, we don't know how long we would have stayed in that lifeless farm.
The carriage was a bit crowded. You see, the two big men, Ricky and Dallion, took up almost half of the carriage. As a result, Sally, Gerard and I could only huddle in the pitiful corner.
Everyone was silent and seemed to be thinking about something, making the atmosphere extremely weird.

I absentmindedly flipped through the book "Research on Garona's Stealth and Conspiracy" in my hand, and my eyes had long since escaped to the dim woods outside the window.
I really wish I could get to Higurashi as soon as possible so that I could go outside and get some fresh air.
Suddenly, the communication gem on my chest heated up slightly, "Messiah?" Dallion's voice sounded in my ears. I couldn't help but frown slightly. The next second, I heard his smiling voice. Say, "You took the book down."
I snapped the booklet shut and patted the car door hard, "Mr. Lazarus! Mr. Lazarus! Stop the car!"
"Hu--" the carriage stopped slowly, "What's the matter? Miss Messiah?"
I quickly jumped out of the carriage and dragged the knight off the carriage shaft, "I'll take it for you."
"Oh!" Lazarus clawed hard at the board to prevent him from slipping in the snow. "How can this be done?! Don't freeze. Go back to the carriage!"
I breathed into the cold palm and snatched his riding whip, "I'm very good at it, leave it to me."
My voice woke up Toril, who was napping on one side. He looked at me next to him and wanted the thing in my hand with great horror, "Let me come, miss, let me come!"
"Go aside! Toriel!"
"I'll do it." Suddenly, a strong arm stretched out from the other side and whipped my horse-whip away without any explanation. Then, Toril was lifted down, and the tall and strong boy jumped up. , "You also go to the carriage." He said to the attendant.
"But……"
"If you want to run, that's fine."

The world outside the carriage is endless, but why do I feel so depressed here?
The carriage moved slowly in the direction of the sun. Dallion twisted the reins and looked at me helplessly.
"I'm sorry, Messiah." He spoke again and again, his face flushed by the cold wind, "You have ignored me for a long time."
I snorted, hunched my shoulders, and looked elsewhere.
He moved towards me and said flatteringly, "That's just a joke. Forgive me, Messiah. We still have a long journey, and you can't always turn a blind eye to me. With your sullen face, no one else can." happy."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the car behind us.
I couldn't help but glare at him, tightened my cloak, and moved to the edge of the carriage.
"Uh... Okay," after a moment of silence, he suddenly said briskly, "If someone is willing to smile at me, I will take her hunting."
hunt?
I suddenly turned back to look at him.
He took out a sheepskin map from his bag and unfolded it against the cold wind.
"We are here, northwest of Brill." He clicked on the map in a serious manner, "A little further west, just going forward, is the hunting ground west of Still Pond, which is one of the best hunting grounds in Tirisfal. Field. In that boundless forest, there are wild deer, roe deer, pheasants, and snowshoe hares. It is the most fertile time, and hunters will go there to try their luck."
I admit, I'm a little excited.
"I think I've had enough jerky. If someone would just smile at me, we might have some fresh wild boar tonight."
Oh...I seem to have seen the delicious food sizzling on the campfire.
A big hand covered with black leather gloves stretched out and held mine firmly, "How about it? Does someone want to smile secretly? I will treat her as if she is smiling at me."
I couldn't help but curl up the corners of my mouth.
His eyebrows curled up in a smile, "You're not angry anymore, are you?"
"For hunting's sake."
"Well, for hunting's sake."
