11 Mist 2

After thirty minutes she enjoyed her relaxation, she got out from the bathtub, Sarah went to the wooden closet nearby, searching for the black dress Su Daiyu told her. She saw it inside the basket. Grabbed and wore it.

Sighing, she noticed the dress was slightly tight in her waist area. Maybe because this was Su Daiyu's old dress? She didn't know. But a few seconds later she felt unusually comfortable with it, the dress was quite old, but it still fit perfectly to her body. So, no problem so far.

Walking to the door, she accidentally saw a long mirror near it. Approaching it slowly, she felt afraid about the fact. She already guessed this wasn't her real world and this place whether fictional or not, she didn't know for sure.

What she acknowledged that she wasn't dreaming at all, she could feel pain, she could feel the things she had done and what she taste, what she smelled, all of it. She knew it was true, yet she still couldn't accept the reality that she was being transported to another world. In the same time, she had a doubt, was it true she was being transported to another world? If she was, why her body and hair were different?

'Transmigration, transportation, reincarnation' Besides movie she also watched anime and read some manga in this typical genres. She never a fan of that type of thing, but she watched and read it anyway due to people's topic mainly talking about that kind of genre.

Between these three, if she was in transportation type kind of thing, commonly she should be in the middle castle, surrounded by mages, asking her to save the kingdom from demon lord or evil dragon. She could have that random cheat superpower with the system controlling her action. This type of genre usually still using their old body for a living.

While transmigration type usually where random soul got transported to another dimension or world as it taking over someone else body shells. The soul was still the same, but the body wasn't the soul's original body.

Lastly, the reincarnation, she didn't know the details, because she mostly heard only those famous two genres. What she knew slightly about reincarnation was when she asked her Buddhist friend. Her Buddist friend explained it was related to the second chance in someone else life. Sarah didn't really pay attention to her and told herself to stop asking an unrealistic question to her friend.

In conclusion, these genres were practically the same yet slightly different, the most common thing between these three was the main character of the story restarting a new life. Instead, the goals or in each genre depended on the storyline which the creator made. So, to attach her current condition she most likely in transmigration type, right?

Exhaling heavily, she was thinking why did the fiction knowledge which she accidentally got, becoming useful to clarify her situation now? Of course, she knew she wasn't an expert to explain this kind transmigration or reincarnation genres. She just wanted to support her brain to be a little more logic. If her situation wasn't in those categorize, should she say she was time traveling? Nope, that mostly far off from the context. Besides, if she was time traveling, should this weird unheard power existed?

She halted her step for a second and looked at her right palm. That small dot was slightly bigger than before. It scared her as she creased her brows down. Clenching it tightly, she continued to walk into the front of the long mirror. Flabbergasted!

She didn't know how to respond to this. She guessed it right, she took closer to her new looks and gasping unbelievable. Touching the mirror she gazed at her emerald eyes which contrast with her auburn red hair. Her nose was sharp and her pink lips were quite plumpy. The face was beautiful. Although this body didn't have the perfect body she former had, the body was distracted due to her pretty face covering some of the flaws. She could guess this body still not developed yet, she must be in her sixteen or seventeen. Sarah still had her chance to shape this body later.

Sarah was shocked of course, but she already anticipated this, so she didn't feel surprised seeing her different face in the first time. "So, she is called Tereza?" She mumbled quietly. She still recalled the last conversation with Li Jili when he called her 'Tereza'. She didn't know Tereza's background.

According to Li Jili, Tereza used to be a queen of Gerald Kingdom and that was it. Sarah blamed herself for not digging more information about Tereza from him. In the start, she wasn't truly convinced if his words were true or not, she was also exhausted in mind and body, so she became a narrow mind and didn't listen to him much.

Due to his oriental robes, she thought at that time was asking a possibility if Li Jili was from Japan or some Asia countries. Her goal was going home, yet from his words explanation, she found out she was, in truth, furthering away from home.

She wasn't neither Japan, Osaka nor her own world and time. She thought it was all a joke. But, it was true when all of the strange things happened to her in this couple of days. First was the talking wolf, dragon worshiper tribe, mysterious black sword, and last but not least unheard kingdoms.

Sarah wanted to gaze her face more, but knocks came from outside the door. Sarah turned her head to the wooden door and heard Su Daiyu's soft voice, "Sarah, have you finished bathing? I'm going to go outside. Do you want to accompany me?"

"Eh? Y-Yes! Wait for me!"

...

Walking outside, the sky was still bright, she stood beside Su Daiyu while wearing a thick fur coat. Because the wheater was cold, Su Daiyu urged her to wear it. As Sarah helping Su Daiyu to carry her baskets, Sarah looked at it and thought that Su Daiyu wanted to pick up some fruits, "Are you going to search for fruits?" Sarah asked her curiously. Su Daiyu shook her head slowly.

She told Sarah calmly, "I'm going to pick up some mushroom and then set a trap for my special meat later in the night. I can't survive without this meat."

Hearing her answer was slightly off, Sarah looked down at Su Daiyu in surprised, she asked, "Meat? You meant, like chicken or pork, maybe? You don't have teeth, right? How could you eat it?"

Su Daiyu glanced at her quickly and still had her smile, she replied, "You could say that." Flinching, Sarah swore she just saw her changing expression in 0.1 seconds. Tighten her own mouth, she should not offend the old lady anymore. Su Daiyu continued, "I have my own way to grind the meat so it can be smooth to eat it for an old woman like me. Do you think there's only one way to eat it?"

Sarah pursed her lips, Su Daiyu was right about that, it was just her who was being slightly dumb. In heavy meal category, she couldn't blame herself due to her favorite dish was always steak related. She also never tried other methods besides baking or frying or grilling.

She remembered the takeaway food she once tried in the university, the meat burger, it was indeed delicious, but she didn't like it. Since then, she never tried other meat dishes besides steak. In short, she loved steak!

Sarah came inside the forest as she took a glimpse behind her, Su Daiyu's long stone house in the middle, surrounded by a wide grass field. She couldn't help to praise it. "Your house is beautiful."

Su Daiyu's laughed, she answered, "Thanks it's due to my husband who built this old house. It's supposed to be our villa at first, we were planning to use this house only when we were on holiday, but instead, we lived there for the rest of our lives now. He said, he didn't like the city life and he felt suffocated living there, so he urged me to move here and of course, I instantly agreed to his decision. I love him, of course, I just want him to be happy, I don't like him being sad."

While speeding their paces, avoiding some of the tall grass in front, Sarah stated, "Your husband must be lucky to have you as his wife."

Su Daiyu smiled at Sarah, but she didn't reply to Sarah's comment. Sarah didn't take it to heart instead she looked around the forest with an odd feeling. As she kept furthering inside the forest, the stone house view was no longer in sight. They both arrived at the place full of mushroom, "Wait here and try to pick up the mushroom with brown color, don't pick up the mushroom with bright color, it's poison. About how many? Well, until the whole baskets full with mushrooms, alright?" Su Daiyu ordered Sarah as she left her away.

"W-Wait! Where are you going? Can I come too?" Sarah asked impatiently, what did she mean that Sarah must wait in the middle of this forest?

"I just want to place my trap first for the meat I'm looking for. The place is quite far, I'm afraid if you follow me, you'll be exhausted and the way is slightly rough. I don't want you to hurt yourself. Don't worry this spot is not that far from the house, I will immediately help you to pick up the mushroom after I finished putting this thing. " She pointed at the animal trap which she held, she continued, "If I'm not going back after you finished gathering the mushroom, just go back to the house without me."

"I can help you, you are an old lady, you need my power to help you, right? Besides I don't know the way back to the house," Sarah told her slightly panic, she seriously going to leave her here in this forest alone?!

"Don't worry, who do you think I am? I've been living here for fifty years, I know the area well and to get back to the house, you can follow that yellow sign I placed it on each of the trees, didn't you see it on the way here?" Su Daiyu assured her.

"Ahh, so that's the function," Sarah stated short, but it didn't give her relief at all.

"Don't worry, it's still noon and the forest near my house is safe. I've never encounter vicious animals besides the animal we usually eat, like deer or boar. Just for safety, if you encounter, don't move recklessly. It may kill you in instant."

Sarah's face turned pale and gulped hard. Her perspiration soaked her black dress, Su Daiyu who watched her changing expression burst of the laugh, "Don't worry my dear Sarah, I'm just joking. There's no danger in this area, I and my husband placed a special gate in the small part around the forest, so wild animal will not enter freely to our house area. You can rest assure, alright?"

"S-Sure." Sarah nodded and watched Su Daiyu, gradually, left her alone. Sighing, she must calm down first. Looking at the mushroom, she just did what she must do right now. Picking up the mushroom just like Su Daiyu's instruct, she pulled the brown mushrooms only.

One hour later, she finished filling all of the baskets in her hands. Should she go back now? Or wait for the old woman?

Rustling sounds from the bushes beside her, she quickly turned her head around to see what was the sound. Another rustling sounds behind her and then in front of her. Her head was spinning, moving back and forth just to see the source of the sound, what should she expect? Wild scary animal? Or monsters?!

"What now?! Show yourself!" Sarah shouted with her quivering tone. She was ready to run straight to the house if her standing-like-a-stone method didn't work.

Her heartbeat kept beating rapidly. Thump! Thump! It getting louder as the sound approached her close. Just when she tried to scream, a gray rabbit jump and stood in front of her body! "Ah!! Ah?" Sarah was dumbfounded, was the sound came from this small rabbit? Why did she hear a slight growl? Looking around, there was no sound that small growl anymore. Was she hallucinating thing? Yes, that must be it.

The rabbit look at her with profound eyes, Sarah was slightly shocked by this rabbit behavior. 'What? Don't tell me this rabbit can talk too?' Sarah tested it, "Hello~" The rabbit didn't answer her, ignoring her as he licked his own ears. Sarah realized this rabbit was normal. His nose was twitching while looking at the mushroom.

Sarah noticed his gaze to her baskets and she couldn't help herself to say, "So cute, do you want to eat this? Here~" Sarah shoved a mushroom to the rabbit. He took it with his small mouth. Jumping away from Sarah, the rabbit looked at her once again and went away from the area.

Feeling relief, she looked at the sky, it was still bright blue, so she decided it didn't hurt to wait for Su Daiyu for awhile. Crouching, she sat down leaning on the tree trunk.

Without her noticing, a certain man with white hair, fair skin, tilting his head down, looking at her deeply on the highest of the tree. He was hiding behind the big branch, sitting as if he was enjoying the scenery. His blue eyes shined when he noticed there was that woman again. He muttered, "She doesn't wear my shirt anymore..."
