Farah''s POV


    When I found out that the surrounding area belonged to the second trial, I tried my best to ask Hana to let me go to the nearby town. With my perfect persuasion method, Hana has no choice but to let me go outside.


    -Ehehehe. (Farah)


    -You are smiling by yourself again, master. (Hana)


    -I''m just happy I can meet everyone else today again. (Farah)


    Hana tilts her head and reminds me.


    -You can only meet the people in town today, master. (Hana)


    I pout and reply to Hana.


    -I know, Hana! You shouldn''t ruin my fun like that. (Farah)


    -A maid''s duty is to correct the way of her master and guide her to the correct path. (Hana)


    -Your wording makes me feel like I am going to do something sinister, Hana. (Farah)


    -Did you do something really sinister today, master? (Hana)


    -Eh? (Farah)


    -In the morning, my cute master turns into evil. She threatened me that she would hate me if I didn''t let her go to the nearby town. (Hana)


    I turn away from Hana and feel a little guilty about doing that. At that time, I didn''t know Hana was approaching me from behind.


    -I got you, master. (Hana)


    Hana hugs me from behind.


    -Hyaaa~ (Farah)


    Hana comes near my ears and blows on it.


    -Nyaaaa~ What is that for, Hana? (Farah)


    -It''s a punishment for being a bad girl, master. (Hana)


    -Moh! (Farah)


    Hana puts her arm around me and picks me up.


    -Let me hold you like a princess this time, master. It is faster to go in this way. (Hana)


    -Eh, Hana! (Farah)


    My face becomes bright red when I imagine the others in town seeing me in this situation.


    -Please let me down, Hana. (Farah)


    I notice Hana becomes sad for a moment.


    -So master hates me, after all. (Hana)


    Her face makes me feel so guilty.


    -It''s not like that, Hana! (Farah)


    Hana looks at me with teary eyes and asks me.


    -Then why didn''t you allow me to hold you like this, master? (Hana)


    -I...I. (Farah)


    -It seems that I have no more value to you, master. (Hana)


    -No, Hana. It''s okay to hold me like this. (Farah)


    The moment I said so, the teary eyes of Hana were immediately gone. Instead, I could see her mischievous smile on her face.


    -You tricked me, Hana! (Farah)


    Hana looks away while she is trying to hold back her laugh.


    -It''s so cute to see my master taste her own special move. (Hana)


    -Moh! (Farah)


    Hana really loves teasing me like this.


    -I will find a way to tease you back soon. (Farah)


    However, Hana replies with a smile at my threat.


    -I will wait for it, my master. (Hana)


    It takes a while for both of us to arrive at the gate of the town.


    -We are here, master. (Hana)


    When I saw the familiar gate of the town, I became so happy because I never thought I could reunion with everyone here this soon.


    -Ehehe! (Farah)


    Everyone in the town was surprised when they saw my appearance. People want to go near my side to say hello, but somehow Hana chases them away with her glare.


    -Moh, Hana. Why did you do that? (Farah)


    Hana looks at me and says.


    -I never thought you would make these many "friends" when I was not by your side, master. (Hana)


    -Hehe, everyone is a good friend of mine. They took care of me a lot when I stayed here. (Farah)


    -Tchhh. (Hana)


    -What''s wrong, Hana? (Farah)


    Hana shakes her head and says.


    -Nothing, master. (Hana)


    While I''m in Hana''s embrace, we take a tour around the town.


    -I can''t see Lecia and others. Maybe they are busy again. Eh? (Farah)


    Suddenly, I saw an unexpected face when I toured around the town. It''s a small girl standing in the middle group of kids. The kids surround her and sit down on the ground.


    -The hero slays the dragon and saves the princess. (???)


    It seems like they are listening to a fairy tale.


    -After that, they lived happily ever after! The end! (???)


    -Ehhh! (Kid A)


    -Please tell more fairy tales, sister Grimm. (Kid B)


    Grimm coldly replies to them.


    -The time is up. You guys must go back now. (Grimm)


    -We want to listen to more stories from you, sister. (Kid C)


    -Kiddo, it''s for lunch. Go back, now. (Grimm)


    Grimm makes a scary face and starts chasing all those kids around.


    -She is your "friend", right? (Hana)


    -How could you know that, Hana? (Farah)


    -I knew that just by looking at your face, master. (Hana)


    -Eh? (Farah)


    I want to meet up with Grimm and say hello to her.


    -Hana, please let me down. (Farah)


    Hana nods and puts me down to the ground. After making sure there are no more kids around her, I walk toward her side.


    -Grimm, we meet again. (Farah)


    I thought she would say hello to me, but she replied to me in a haughty voice.


    -It''s not like I come here to meet you. I never want to see your face at all. (Grimm)


    Hana stands next to my side, instantly glaring at Grimm.


    -Should I deal with this thing, master? (Hana)


    -No, Farah. (Farah)


    I know she could sound so haughty if we only listened to her voice. But I knew she was a good and sincere girl since I saw she helped me earnestly in the last battle. If she didn''t care about it, then there is no reason for her to appear here in this place.


    -... (Grimm)


    Grimm retreated when she met the glared of Hana. She turns to me and shows a lonely face. That face makes me want to come close and hugs her tight.


    -Grimm... (Farah)


    I try to reach out to Grimm.


    -No! (Grimm)


    Unexpectedly. Grimm hits my hand and pushes me away.


    -Eh? (Farah)


    Grimm''s face suddenly turns into sorrow. As if she wants to explain something, but she can''t.


    -I...I''m sorry. (Grimm)


    Grimm turns away from me and runs toward the forest direction.


    -Grimm! (Farah)


    Grimm quickly vanishes from my field of vision and disappears into the forest.
