Rosalina and Leon remained by the lakeside for quite some time, exchanging everything that had happened since they had last seen one another.
The more they spoke, the more Rosalina realized that Leon and the green-haired girl—whose name she learned was Sylviana—were in an even worse situation than she had expected.
They had no shelter, no safe place to rest, and ever since arriving in the Nightmare Forest, they had spent every waking moment running for their lives.
Unfortunately for them, they had appeared far closer to the forest's central region, where powerful magical beasts roamed freely.
Had Sylviana not possessed an extraordinary talent for healing, Leon doubted either of them would have survived the journey this far.
Even then, they had only managed to reach this comparatively peaceful area the previous day, and neither of them had any idea where to settle next.
After hearing their story, Rosalina no longer hesitated.
