I Have Crossed Over, but You Are The Second Week?

"What about 'princess cottage'? Even if you say this is a prison without freedom, I will believe it!"

"...It would be too rude to say that."

Emilia puffed up her cheeks a little unhappy. She finally knew why Echidna asked about the 'Princess Cabin' knowingly. It turned out that she wanted to use this method to satirize her.

"It's just because Fortuna's mother is afraid that I will be dangerous if I run around alone, and there are many toys in it, which will not be boring at all. It's not the 'prison' you mentioned!"

"Oh...do you think so?"

Echidna raised her eyebrows and looked at Emilia in surprise.

"Although it's a little unexpected, it seems normal if it's you..."

"But in my opinion, as long as freedom is restricted, no matter how beautiful it is, it's just a prison."

）

"For me, as long as the heart is free, then there is no prison!"

Emilia said this to Echidna, but immediately she showed a somewhat troubled look.

"Speaking of which, I should have no way to affect the surrounding environment."

"In this case, I can't open the door, can I?"

"Should it be said that you are stupid, or that your thinking is fixed and you can't think?"

Echidna stretched out her arms as she did in the forest before, and her arms passed through the object in front of her again. The so-called gate did not hinder her in any way.

"This is not a material world, but a world formed by consciousness. In other words, if there is such a consciousness, then the so-called matter is not an obstacle."

Saying this, Echidna walked through the wooden door first and walked into the princess cabin, while Emilia blinked curiously, then stretched out her arms tentatively.

After confirming that she could also pass through the wooden door in front of her, and not Echidna's teasing, Emilia also walked in.

"what……"

Should it be said that the time for coming was just right, or was it set in the trial that they would definitely arrive here at this time?

Appearing in front of Emilia, besides Echidna, there were two figures in the princess hut.

It looks like adults are entrusting something to children, they are all women, and they are all silver-white haired, a combination of adults and children.

The moment she saw the figures of the two, Emilia realized what was going on in front of her.

"That child is probably you. Although you are still at a young and ignorant stage, you really have a surprisingly naive appearance."

"I don't see it growing into the annoying look you have now."

Echidna sarcasm Emilia mercilessly, but even such sarcasm has a minimum bottom line, that is, she did not make malicious comments on Emilia when she was a child.

So, since she didn't hate Emilia when she was a child, why did Echidna start maliciously belittling her from the moment they met?

Emilia is not clear, but she also knows that even if she asks such a question, Echidna will not answer, but continue to respond with sarcasm.

However, just like Echidna said, the child listening to the adults in front of her is indeed Emilia when she was a child.

With long silver hair and rare purple eyes, even if Emilia can't remember what she looked like when she was a child, she can recognize her at the first sight.

As for the other adult...

"—"

Emilia pursed her lower lip, walked to her childhood side with complicated emotions, and looked in front of the adult.

It was the same as Emilia, a young woman with silver-white hair and purple eyes, and her slightly longer ears than humans proved her identity as an elf.

If Subaru were here, he would probably make the same evaluation of women as Emilia, that they are too beautiful to be human.Even with the same menacing eyes as Subaru, I'm afraid they will be excited by the unexpected similarity between the two, right?

And Emilia finally realized that maybe the reason why she didn't care about it at first, and even liked Subaru's vicious eyes a little bit, was because they were the same as women's eyes.

And she...

"Mother Fortuna..."

She is an aunt, a adoptive mother, and Emilia, who has never met her parents, thinks her mother is the person who loves her the most in this big forest.

At the same time, it is also a person who has already died.

At this moment, Emilia suddenly remembered what her mother Fortuna said to herself in this 'princess cabin' at that time.

"Emilia, I have very important things to deal with now, so you have to be obedient in the room!"

Saying this, Fortuna patted little Emilia's head affectionately, then turned and left the 'Princess Cabin'.With the sound of the wooden bolt falling outside the door and the sound of locking, the princess cottage seems to have really become the "prison" in Echidna's mouth

Because, little Emilia was not happy.

"Hmm... so boring."

Little Emilia pouted and sat beside the low table boredly.

Little Emilia is loved by adults like flowers and butterflies, so in order not to let such Emilia get bored, the inside of the "Princess House" is full of picture books, dolls and painting tools.

However, even with a lot of toys, boredom is boring. When staying alone in the 'princess cabin', it is the 'long' time that little Emilia dislikes the most.

"It seems that when you were young, you thought very differently from what you think now. Compared with what you say now, didn't you hate this 'prison' very much when you were young?"

Echidna said amusedly: "She also feels that she is not free."

"...It's not like that."

Emilia shook her head after being silent for a while.

"At that time, I didn't feel that my freedom was restricted, and I never felt that this place was a 'prison'."

"I just... hate boredom and loneliness."

Emilia recalled things from her childhood.

In this elven settlement in the Great Forest of Elliot, there were often important things that needed to be dealt with in which only adults participated and she was excluded like this.

The adults who usually dote on her and agree to any request will never let her be willful at this time.

Of course, her childhood education also made Emilia not have the character to make arbitrary demands on others.

Keep your promises, respect others, and value your own decisions... Emilia was taught by her Fortuna mother since she was a child.

Although, Fortuna did not take the initiative to admit that she is Emilia's 'mother', even if Emilia called 'Mom' again, Fortuna would just say: "I am Emilia The younger sister of Ya's father. My brother...Emilia's father and mother are very busy right now, and they can't stay together. That's why you carefully entrusted me to take care of you!" Such words.

Of course, although this was said by Emilia's most trusted and respected mother Fortuna, it still had a huge impact on Emilia when she heard it for the first time.

However, that shock was not heartache or doubt, but on the contrary, there was a feeling of satisfaction or happiness surging in my heart.

Even if Fortuna said that she was not her mother, in Emilia's heart Fortuna was equal to her mother.Well, the common sense that there is only one mother for ordinary people does not work for her.

Having two mothers at the same time, of course, is something that makes people feel amazing and happy.

"Emilia's silver hair is inherited from her brother, and so is the color of her eyes, of course."

"Looking at it this way, our family's inheritance is indeed very powerful. Emilia is more like her father than she is now."

"But the gentle eyes are from the inherited mother's side. Everyone in our family, including my brother, have very fierce eyes."

This is what Fortuna once said to Emilia in Emilia's memory.

The beast-like ferocious eyes, even if stared at without malice, may make people feel scared and wonder whether they are about to be bullied.

Especially when she was angry, the already fierce eyes would become even more terrifying, to the extent that Emilia would tremble even when she was a child.

However, Emilia knew that no matter how fierce her eyes were, Fortuna loved her like a mother.

——That's why Emilia likes those fierce eyes.

"Speaking of..."

Emilia remembered that Fortuna had said that her parents couldn't stay by her side to take care of her because they had important things to do.

When she was a child, she naively thought it was true, and her parents were just too busy to see it.But now she knows very well that maybe her parents had passed away when she was very young.

The reason why Fortuna said that was because she didn't want to make her feel sad when she was still a child.

However, Emilia, who has grown up now, does not feel sad.

Although she has never met her father and mother, and does not know what her parents look like, she has Fortuna as her adoptive mother, and Parker, who claims to be her father.

At the same time, she is also accompanied by her favorite Subaru.

Fortuna said that her father had the same vicious eyes, it was like a family inheritance, but it was not inherited by Emilia.

Subaru, on the other hand, had neither silver hair nor purple pupils, but he also had fierce eyes like Fortuna's, which seemed to be indistinguishable.

Moreover, Subaru's care for her...

——Also like a father.

"What are you smirking there alone, it's disgusting!"

Echidna suddenly made a sound, interrupting Emilia's memories.

"Just looking at it from the side gives me a chill, maybe it's not a curse, it's an extremely vile and vulgar curse full of malice that I don't know about that makes people feel physically uncomfortable just by looking at it!"

"It's too impolite for you to say that. I just thought of things when I was a child. Don't you have anything worth remembering when you were a child?"

"Things worth remembering from my childhood..."

Echidna raised her eyebrows, as if she had thought of something.But she didn't say what she thought, but said as if mocking Emilia: "It's a pity that I have forgotten it a long time ago."

"Always recalling the happy times when I was a child to comfort myself, this is just a cowardly expression, just like you now, just seeing your mother when you were a child, you can't walk anymore?"

"—You are just sophistry!"

Emilia said dissatisfiedly: "Past experiences and memories are the driving force behind my progress, so recalling the past is not a cowardly thing."

"...Hmph, no one can convince anyone. Instead of continuing to argue with you here, let's continue the trial."

"After all, I'm not interested in staying here with you all the time. Just seeing you makes me sick."

Echidna snorted softly, and set her sights on little Emilia.Maybe for her, although little Emilia is also not liked by her, but it is more acceptable to her than the current Emilia.

Realizing that Echidna didn't seem to want to continue talking, Emilia also turned her attention to herself when she was a child.

"It seems to be going outside..."

Emilia, who was a child, complained in vain.

Little Emilia felt that the "important things" those adults said must be an excuse to deceive her. At this time, those adults must be playing happily outside without telling her.
