My Chronicles In Another World

A few days later.

Acacia forms a team for an escort mission to her daughter, the leader of the escorting mission is Badijn, he was one of the members who were responsible for the village chief search party, and Casia who is a part of this operation, she too was a member of the search party for the village chief.

Acacia decided to bring two elite scouts for the safety of her daughter, even If her father's whereabouts was a top priority, she couldn't just ignore her daughter's wishes.

Of course Acacia will accompany her daughter too, she even brings her daughter's newly attain friend Ailla to deepen their friendship along the way, she liked the girl attitude, she was like an eccentric Individual In an eyes of common elf, but Acacia who used to travel In the humans society, she finds the girl reaction to her daughter who has a half admiration and half honest feeling wanting to form a friendship to her daughter.

"Haah~ such a troublesome daughter, but even so that dream... Why Is It? keeps appearing within her? The more my daughter grow the less I understand her, even though we lived in the same roof." - (Acacia) murmured to herself.

Then a sound of knocking could be heard.

"What Is It?"(Acacia) says In a flat tone, as if, her motherly feature awhile ago doesn't exist.

"Reporting to Lady Acacia, all the preparation for our departure Is ready"

The one who spoke was no other than Badijn, the team leader of this escort mission.

"Very well, you may go, I will get my daughter and another girl." (Acacia) says In dignified manner fitted to her noble aura.

"Yes, Ma'am!" (Badijn) says so, then his presence disappeared.

"Haah~ this role-playing act, I would never get used to It, father was so strict when It comes to etiquette." (Acacia) murmured to herself, as she recalled the past when her father was teaching her a proper etiquette for a lady of their house.

' Father... Where are you? Why you haven't come back to our village yet? '

Acacia shook slightly her head, then she goes to her daughter's quarter.

•••

Inside of Aria's quarter.

There Acacia saw, two lovely girls were talking merrily to each other, to be exact Ailla was the one who does all the talking, while Aria only muttered Mn or nod In agreement.

"Aria let's go, the preparation Is ready." - (Acacia) was happy to see some Improvement of her daughter, because the last time the two girls talked, her daughter Aria only move her head In agreement or shook In denial.

"Mn. Mother, okay let's go... Ailla are sure you wanted to go too?" (Aria) asked her with a bit of worry that could be seen within her eyes.

"Muuh! You finally talk! I was wondering Is your voice was so precious to you, that's why you only gave a gesture when we converse, a while ago."- (Ailla) says In dissatisfaction.

"..." (Aria) doesn't know how to respond In her attitude, then she looked at her Mother's eyes, as If asking for help.

'Haah~ she still has a long way to go ' Acacia thought to herself.

"Fufu ♪ Ailla, don't be depressed, didn't you hear what's my daughter said just now? She is worried about you." (Acacia) says as she consoles the girl.

"?" (Ailla) looked at Aria's direction, as If asking for confirmation.

"..." (Aria) move her head sideways she couldn't look at her In the eyes, as she nodded In agreement.

"Hehehe... Aria has that side too huh." (Ailla) softly laugh In joy.

"Come the two of you, we will be late In our departure If you two keep arguing like this." - (Acacia) says in a strict voice.

"So-sorry." (Ailla) apologize as she lowered her head.

"..." (Aria) was quiet as usual.

"Okay let's get going, that location Is a half-day of travel, after all, so we better hurry" - (Acacia) says to the two girls.

"Yes, Aunt (Mother)" the two girls said In unison.

Acacia giggled slightly to the two girls, then they left the village chief manor.

•••

They are now leaving the hidden elf village, to explore the westernmost part of the mountain range.

Right now the group of people already walked 900 meters away from their village.

"Okay let's have a short break here, Badijn, Casia look for a proper location for our rest." (Acacia) says to two the two scouts.

"Yes, Ma'am." They said In unison, as a signed of agreement.

Then the two scout search for a proper place to put up their camp.

The two girl's who walked side by side on each other called out to Acacia.

"Mother.." (Aria)

"... Aunt Acacia" (Ailla)

"... Are we there yet?" (Ailla) asked In a tired voice, this is the first time for her to walk this far, the complexion of Aria was no worst than Ailla.

This is the reason why Acacia called for a break, the two girls' face was so pale in tiredness.

"Hang In there you two, We've only walked for about 900 meters out of our village, we are not even halfway there yet." (Acacia) says, with a bit of worry in her tone.

'My daughter's stamina, is this weak? I have been spoiling her for quite too much huh, hmm~ Okay It's decided, once we return, I will shape up their bodies, just look at them, haaah~ they're dying by just walking for a bit.' Acacia thought to herself, then a shadow appeared closer to her.

Casia came closer and report to Acacia.

"Reporting to Lady Acacia, we've found an appropriate location to set a camp, right now Badijn was clearing the surrounding area, and checking If there's a monster In the vicinity" - (Casia) reported to Acacia.

"Well done, then lead us the way" (Acacia)

"Yes, Ma'am." (Casia) leads the three people In an open area within the woods, the size of the open area is, 20 meters wide, 9 meters in height, the location was good enough to set a temporary camp for their numbers.

The four people set up their camp place, a rug was put on the grassland as the three people sat there while they rest.

Casia was not in an idle at all, She was looking at the surrounding area with a sharp look on her face, then the bush move for a bit, startling out Casia.

She throws a rock in the bush, as she draws her bow to that area.

"..It Is me, sorry to startle you, you still haven't used In the rhythm of my footsteps haven't you?" (Badijn) says, In a joking tone.

"... Yes, I haven't, you have the weirdest footstep In our team after all" (Casia) replied, with a tone of not hiding her irritation.

"Hehe sorry about that, the area is clear, I already slaughter most of the low-grade monsters In the surrounding area, while the others are harmless and wouldn't be proactive to charge in our location." (Badijn) says, He gave a report to what he did, Even though he is the leader of the two-man team, he was not used to It, that's the reason why Acacia select him to be one, Even If the escort mission was an excuse she clearly choose someone wasn't flexible In the decision making, she was hoping Badijn will learn for a bit to this mission, while Casia was an elite and smart, she wasn't versatile and she is easy to be provoked.

As the two-person converse, It Is already been a half-hour since they started their short break.

"Okay let's go, If we delay our journey for a bit more, we wouldn't make It In a time of the sun, Is pointed horizontally In the west. " (Acacia) says, as she urges them to move.

•••

It has already been five hours since their last short break.

From the start, the complexion of the two girls was so bad that you would' ve thought they'll puke for any moment, but they gradually get used to It.

As they already traveled eight miles by foot, they encounter few low-grade monsters and even D class middle grade monsters, just like that, they're almost In their target location.

"Haa~ah.. ha ha.. I am dying, aunt could we have a short break?" (Ailla) pleads, She couldn't take another step.

"No, we cannot, we are already within the deep of the forest, the monsters that are living here was at the average of middle-grade monsters, there might even a high-grade monster walks for a hunt, so we cannot Idle here for too long." (Acacia) Explained to her, the truth is wanted to have them a short break, but they're in a situation where the danger lies in wait, and they couldn't lay their guard down.

"Bu-but" (Ailla) was about to cry In exhaustion.

"... Now Ailla, you can do it, sorry for dragging you all the way here." (Aria) console her friend for a bit, her facial expression was the same as Ailla her breathing, was so rough that she might fall out of exhaustion.

"Haah~ It can't be helped, Badijn, Go and check our surroundings, Casia stay close to the children, we will have a short break for about half mark in candle time." (Acacia) even though Acacia says half mark in candle time, she doesn't have anything to measure it, but as she goes Into adventure when she was young, she learns a few convenient tricks on her own, just like mastery of her body clock, as she measures time using her thoughts and observation.

It is just like how a common person measures time using, their own stomach, on a regular basis.

"Yes Ma'am," the two scout says In agreement, Badijn moves around within vicinity, as Casia moves closer to the two girls.

Acacia pays close attention to their surroundings.

Just like that 10 minutes have elapsed, Acacia was about to call for everyone to get up, and to move on.

A loud cry could be heard, startling Acacia and co, as the sound of cry came closer to their location.

In the middle of the shadow of a tree, there you can see a three meters long, one meter and a haft tall lizard-like monster, It has a characteristic of dark green scales, yellow eyes, and It has a violet tongue, that releasing a zipping sound.

Acacia frowned, as she saw the monster.

Casia was startled to see the monster, then her faces darkened.

Badijn who was standings on the top of the tree rush In to face the enemy, ' What bad luck why the heck that guy appeared here.'

He wasn't in a mood to joke around, If he can voice out his thoughts, He would choose not to face the enemy, because he knew the strength of that guy, as he was defeated running In between his tail the last time he encountered the same monster.

But this time his strength gain some satisfactory rate, because of the hellish work they did In the past few weeks, even so, he was not confident he could kill the monster.

"Stop Badijn, let me deal with It" (Acacia) says In a flat voice.

But Badijn Insisted, as he says.

"Please let me fight It, Lady Acacia, I know If the Lady faces this type of monster, It wouldn't take much effort to kill It... But I have a bit of personal matter with this monster, I hope Lady Acacia helps this subordinate to get rid of the shame he experiences because of this type of monster." (Badijn) knows, It Is a different kind of monster, but even so, his fed-up hatred and shame, he got by getting his a.s.s kicked by the same species... Remembering that, makes his blood boil.

"Puff-" (Casia) was holding her mouth not letting her laugh go out, as she thought 'Haha, what's with that guy, He Is getting heated up with a C class middle grade monster, I know that monster Is quite troublesome but that's all '

"... Ah ... Ohh ... Ahem! Okay, then you go fight It." (Acacia) says, as she about blurted out her laughter, seeing her subordinate serious expression.

"I gave, my thanks to Lady Acacia."- (Badijn) charge to the one-meter and half tall monster, as If he was about to face his mortal enemy.

After that, the one person and one monster heated battle go by...

The sun Is already pointed on the west horizontally.

Finally, Badijn defeated the monster, then he grasps for a mouthful of air, for breathing.

"Haah~ finally I defeated a C class Greenland Lizard monster... Ha.. ha..ha." (Badijn)

"Good work, you just delay our journey because of your stupidity" (Casia) scorned to Badijn, not minding he was the two-man team captain.

"S-shut up!" (Badijn) shouted, In embarrassment.

"Hah... Now let's get going" (Acacia) sigh and urge them to continue.

They walked smoothly without encountering a monster along the way, night already come.

"We are already here, Aria.. " (Acacia) says, She was about to convince her daughter that there's nothing here, In the forest that she mentioned In her dream...

Then she saw her daughter was surrounded by a lesser spirit, circling around her, as If they're dancing, finally the lesser spirits was hinting Aria, urging her to move, but she didn't get what they meant, not until the group of spirit line In a row.

"... You guys wanted me to go there?" (Aria) asked In a low voice, One of the spirits make a buzzing sounds, in a sign of agreement.

"... Wait, Aria." (Acacia) wanted to stop her daughter out of worried, but the phenomenon right In front of her was something she couldn't explain nor understand, the lesser spirit who has a low Intelligence, but the spirit appeared right in front of her eyes, have a higher intellect.

Aria moves along with the lesser spirit, her mother Acacia didn't stop her only followed behind her back.

Her friend Ailla was still shocked, In the phenomenon that happened In front of her, until she was dragged by Casia.

Then Aria walks deep Into the woods, the surrounding area changes, after that, as If the moon Itself was helping her to locate, what's they're searching for, the surrounding area shimmering in the dark forest.

"Mother look ..." (Aria) pointed her finger, she was amazed by the scenery that appeared inside this forest.

As the Moon shines in the heavens above, a moonlight glinting below the ground, illuminating the dark and gloomy forest.

What they saw is a huge rectangular mist-like a barrier, that was the same barrier that their village used to have on it's surrounding.

"..." (Acacia) couldn't hide her shock on her face, she couldn't believe It, as a thought flashed through her...

"Casia, Badijn you guys, go check that rectangular area, Check If there's a living person Inside or that ruined temple that my daughter says In her dream. " (Acacia) says with a commanding voice, She was troubled for a long time about to the location, that they can move out. If the worst comes to their village, she doesn't like the fact that the village entrusted by her father, Turns Into refugees In their capital, If ever a disaster occurs to their village once more.

Now, as If a God sends. A new location along with a barrier that protects the surrounding area appeared right In front of her.

"Yes Ma'am," the two scout says, and they move into the barrier.

Why they're not afraid of the barrier? Because of the characteristics of the elf who couldn't be lost direction inside the forest, and their experience of having the same type of barrier, around their village.

After that, the two scouts explore the surrounding area, and then, Casia came back In no time.

She came closer to Acacia to gave her a report.

"Reporting to Lady Acacia, as we explored the surrounding area In a brief moment, we saw the ruined temple that you mentioned. For a living person ... It is a deserted area ... It seems like an old abandoned town ... Badijn was still doing a deep search for reconfirmation If there Is any living person In the area." (Casia)

"... Good work" (Acacia) says in a low voice.

She finds It's weird and then she thought to herself. 'Why my daughter dream turned Into a reality It was as If an... Oracle...! '

As Acacia thought to herself, she looked at her daughter and asked.

"... Aria could It be-" (Acacia) asked her daughter but she was cut off by Aria words.

"Yes, mother the spirit ... At first, It is hard for me to understand the things they say, but as I continue to converse with them, I can now clearly understood, the thoughts that they're voicing out. They say, the Great Spirit commands them for many years ago to watch these places, But the latest divine message they got is, was to guide the silver-haired elf ... and that Is me" -(Aria) says to her mother with a flat voice.

"..What?"(Acacia) asked In bewilderment.
