Chapter 41

—🕊Mizuhashi Yurina Rokurō (POVs)

I then woke up and scratches my head, and I then looked around and just to realize that I was still in this dark forbidden forest.

I then stood up and walked around for a bit, I can see my surroundings right now, it's not covered with fog anymore, though I have no idea where I could find my way again.

I then saw a river and so I went near to it and then I just saw someone in the river, and so I creep out and screamed.

( Oh my god!!!! Who was that!???? )

I then took a step forward and looked to the river again, but just to see my own reflection on the river, and just like what I saw just now.

I saw my own reflection.

But.. There are quite few things that has been changed.

I... I am no longer small.. I am no longer the Little Yurina, that I thought I was be.

" Oh no!!!! Who are you!??? and what are you doing in my body? " I said and then I just heard someones voice.

" I'm glad you are awake now." I heard the womans voice and so I looked at her, she was wearing a white and bluish color dress, and her hair was light too.

" Huh? W-who are you?  " I said

" I am.. A demon who was also stuck in this forbidden forest." she said and looked at her reflection.

" Did you lost your way home too? " I said

( Am I not be able to go back home too? )

( Will I not see my papa and papa? )

( Will I not see Yoru and Zenaku again??? )

" Whats the matter?  " she said

" I missed my family." I said and cried

" We'll, you are still young, I can show you the way to your home." she said and so I looked at her.

" If you can show me the way, why are you still here? " I said and she looked at me.

" It's been so many years that I am already stuck in here, I died in here, and my soul will always remain in here, and now that I'm dead for years, I sure do know my way to home now, but I can't leave the forest. " she said

( Is that mean.. I am also dead!???? )

" Silly, you aren't dead yet. " she said and so I looked at her.

" How can you say that?  " I said and looked at her.

" You were just separated by your body. " She said

" How can you tell?  " I said

" My you asked so many questions." she said and laugh and then looked at me.

" Aren't you wondering why you are looking like that, right now?  " she said and so I looked to my reflection again and I then looked at her.

" The last time I saw you laying on the ground, you were really so little." she said and smile

( What??? )

" But.. Now, you've grown a pretty well over this weeks. " she said and that made me to stood up immediately.

( Weeks?? )

" A week???? And I am already this tall?? " I said and then I stopped, because I just noticed something weird on my chest...

" Omg!!! What is this bloated thing on my chest??? " I said and she laughed.

" That's your breast silly. " she said

( My b-breast???? )

( I have a b-boobs???? )

( Within a week???? )

( Yeah right!!!! I become tall and and got a freaking boobs and a week!! This is making me crazy!!!!! )

" But how did I become like this? tall and—.. As far as I remember I was still seven years old and I DON'T. HAVE. A. BREAST yet!!! " I said and she giggled

" This forest is really magical, don't you know that? This past three weeks you were unconsciously sleeping, and as I observed you, your size and your body figure, change, and it also affects your age. " she said and stood up.

( What??? I don't understand!!! )

" What I mean is, this past three weeks, you keep growing up, the last time you were here you were seven right?  " she said and so I nodded.

" This past three weeks, you already had the body of a fourteen years old girl, and that means you are already fourteen years old within three weeks inside this magical forbidden forest. " she said and smile.

( Holy cow...)

( Within three weeks???? I'm already a f-fourteen years old!?????? )

( No! No! That must be a joke! )

" But.. What about my body??? My soul is only fourteen that me—. " I said but she cut me off.

" Your body is nowhere to be found inside this forbidden forest, I guess someone might save your body, and while that someone save you, he/she didn't know that you and your soul were separated. " she said

" And???  " I said

" That also means, your body is still seven year old, but also!  " she said

( But also???? )

" When you come back to your original body, your body will also change to a fourteen year old girl, and not a seven year old girl anymore. " She said

" What? " I said

( This information is making me crazy!!! )

" *sigh* It means again, that your body stop growing while your soul was separated and continues to grow inside the forbidden forest, now do you understand?  " she said and I just nodded.

" So If I comeback to my original body, my body will also change? When I come back?  " I said and she nodded.

" How did you know this kinds of stuff?  " I said and she just looked at me.

" Right, you were here before I got in here." I said

" Now come on, I'll show you the way back to your home. " she said and so I just nodded and followed her.

The place is a little bit more foggy and stuff, and I still couldn't believe... Within three week sleeping unconsciously and then suddenly when I just woke up, I was now a fourteen year old girl.

Within three weeks!!! You know how crazy that is!!!!

" Here, this is where you came from, before you entered this forest. And don't come back in here again, you little thing." she said and crossed her arms and I just nodded to her.

As I walked far away from that forbidden forest, I still couldn't believe I'm... Fourteen.... As I remember.. I was still seven... And I was only gone for three weeks..

But, now.. I am already fourteen? That fast!?

( It's making me crazy!!!! )

( How am I going to say this to Yoru that I broke his moms necklace???? )

( Oh sh*t, I forgot about the necklace!! )

( Wait... Are they even worried about me?? )

( Probably no, I guess.)
