As they moved deeper in the Woodland, Lydia quite soon lost a sense of direction.
The Woodland was dim despite it being a daytime, and atmosphere there was chilly. Furthermore, the ground was bumpy and difficult to walk.
Overall, it was ominous place that stimulated a human fear.
Consequently, Lydia
“I wonder if here will be a phantoms!”
was in a very cheerful mood.
That was fun. Unknown location. Unknown atmosphere. Her pounding heart pick up the pace.
“Existence of phantoms hasn’t been proved.”
Yuuyami said indifferently.
She walked with her right hand connected to Lydia’s left hand, while the other hand pushed their way through the vegetation.
Lydia was one step behind Yuuyami. However it wasn’t since Yuuyami told her so.
Before she knew it, that became their disposition.
Yet, Lydia understood the precise reason.
Yuuyami was willingly moving forward, while verifying whether there were any harmful for Lydia plants.
Accordingly, with no doubt if Lydia were to come to the front, Yuuyami would pull Lydia behind, with: “Hey, stop right there.”
“Then I’ll be a first person who’ll prove the existence of phantoms.”
“I see. Nevertheless, what will you do in order to prove it?”
“Become friends.”
“With a phantom?”
“That’s right. Since it seems to be interesting.”
“Indeed. Given that a numerous persons has committed a suicide here, so for phantoms to be here is quite possible.”
“Suicide?”
“Yes. People were killing themselves. So it became a famous place.”
“Why?”
Lydia tilted her head.
“The reason for why did it become a famous place? Or the reason why humans were committing a suicides?”
“Each.”
“Hmm. A famous place simply since many people chose this place to die.”
“It’s surely nice place for that, not bad.”
Lydia looked around and said so.
“This isn’t bad?”
“The scenery not bad to end one’s life. Also, the atmosphere is lovely, it feels like we became one with nature, it’s not bad, uh-huh. I believe they had a good taste.”
“When Lydia also would be dying, it should be here?”
“Mmーmm.” Lydia shook her head. “It must be in Yuuyami’s bosom, you know?”
Yuuyami stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Said Lydia.
“No, a bit, that…”
“Hm?”
“…I’m embarrassed.”
“Really? Show me your face?”
“Its usual again. Shall we move forward.”
Yuuyami began walking again.
“Ehー? I wanted to see it.”
“If the opportunity shows itself.”
“Okaーy.”
Lydia replied, and the two continued walking for a while.
“Speaking of which.” Says Lydia. “I haven’t hitherto heard why they committed a suicides?”
“That’s right. However, honestly speaking, you can’t tell one’s motive until you’d become them.”
“I see. Well, that’s right.”
There were numerous different reasons. So many as the people.
“Would you like to hear a typical reason?”
“Mmーmm, no.”
“Is that so.”
“Uh-huh. Incidentally, have we already walked for around a kilometer?”
“No. It has been as yet a mere three hundred meters since entering the forest.”
“Is that all?”
“The Woodland is difficult to walk. Are you tired?”
“I’m alright.”
“How far do you able to advance?”
“Hmー, let’s turn around at about five hundred meters. If we want to explore it properly, we might need a sleeping bag.”
“That’s right. We shall prepare the camp and perform another full-scaled expedition.”
“Uh-huh.”
After that, walking silently, the two went beyond a point of four hundred meter.
Although it was chilly in the woodland, Lydia’s body was nice and warm inasmuch as she was walking all the time.
Lydia lowered slide fastener on the jacket and uncovered her front. A simple white cut and sew was visible from under the jacket.
“Lydia.”
Yuuyami halted.
“What is it? Have you get embarrassed once again?”
Likewise stopped Lydia.
“It’s different. That’s.”
While saying, Yuuyami drew Lydia forward, to her side.
“Human?”
A blonde female was reflecting in Lydia’s view.
She was sitting leaned against the tree with her eyes closed.
“Different.”
If you look closely, female was fairly muddy. The clothes were ragged, and exposed parts were showed dirty exfoliated artificial skin.
“Is she broken?”
“That’s right. I don’t think it will work again.”
“Can I approach her?”
“Yes, it’s okay.”
Lydia let go of Yuuyami and moved to female AD.
Lydia judged the apparent age of female AD was around eighteen years old.
When she examined female AD throughout, she felt like they were somehow resembling herself.
Yuuyami also approached her and stood next to Lydia.
Lydia was slightly perplexed by sudden indescribable emotion which entered inside of her.
Like sadness, as if sadness, although she didn’t knew why, her heart was itching.
And then,
female AD opened her eyes with a click.
Given that it was so abrupt, Lydia startled.
Yuuyami shoot her eyes open as well.
“Ojou-sama…” Female AD looked at Lydia and said. “Apricot, at anytime…”
Female AD lifted both arms in a sluggish movements.
“Is this child moving?”
“That’s right. Strange. In her condition it didn’t seemed to be probable.”
Hmm, Yuuyami showed pondering gesture.
“Anytime… anywhere… ready to make love with each other…”
“Ready to make love with each other?” Lydia tilted her head.
“This child is in SA Series.” Said Yuuyami. “She means you can have a sexual intercourse at anytime, I guess.”
“I see. But why she’s looking at me?”
“Female SA Series for females.”
“Er?”
“It’s a series for feminine gender who can love only females, as well as the series for females who want to have fun with each other.”
“Aah, that’s how it is.”
Lydia nodded in agreement.
“Ojou-sama… Do you love Apricot?”
Female type of AD spread both of her lifted hands.
A gesture meant either to hug her, or would it be good to hug her. Lydia was wavering, what she ought to do now, and looked at Yuuyami.
“Recognizing Lydia as the master means that this child has been initialized.”
“Initialized?”
“It means abandoned.”
“In a Woodland?”
“Yes.”
Once again, indescribable emotions overflowed Lydia.
“Would it be okay if I hug her?”
Lydia said while examined the complexion of Yuuyami.
“Do you think I would get angry at you, since of that complex countenance?”
“Noー, I just wouldn’t want you to get angry.”
“It’s alright. However this child could be abnormal.”
“Please, help me if anything happens.”
“Understood.”
Upon validation Yuuyami’s nod, Lydia pressed her knees against the ground.
After that, slowly moved her body to the chest of female AD.
“Are you Apricot?”
“Uh-huh. Apricot… Apricot. Ojou-sama… warm… Apricot feel happy…”
Female ADー Apricot gently moved her arms on Lydia’s back.
She felt almost powerless with that hug. Lydia thought it wasn’t gentleness, but that she had no energy left.
“Hey, Yuuyami …”
“Shall I guess?”
“Eh?”
“This child, I want to save her, right?”1
Yuuyami exaggeratedly imitated Lydia’s tone.
“Do I speak like that?”
“Yes. So my conjecture is correct?”
“It’s correct, but I wonder if you put it right.”
Lydia sighed deeply.
Simultaneously, Apricot quivered her body.
And then,
“Aah, Ojou-sama’s, sigh… feels, good.”
Apricot let out a wet voice.
Suddenly, it was somehow embarrassing for Lydia. She didn’t properly understood, but even so it was embarrassing.
“Well then, Lydia, please take a backpack. I’ll carry this child on my back.”
Yuuyami, who didn’t have a clue of condition of Lydia’s heart, put down her backpack.
“Uh-huh! That’s good! Uh-huh!”
Lydia hurriedly separated from Apricot and picked up backpack.
“What’s wrong? Your face is scarlet red? It seems that your body temperature rose up a little. A heartbeat is also…”
“It’s different! Different, you know!? I’m fine!?”
Lydia flusteredly shook her hands.
“Is that so?”
“That’s right!”
After saying that, Lydia took a deep breath.
Yuuyami took Apricot on her back.
“Ojou-sama is nice…”
Apricot murmured.
“Lydia has a crush. Therefore it’s impossible. Please keep it quiet and stay on my back.”
Yuuyami wasn’t indifferent any more. The mood and tone were somewhat stuffy.
“That, that’s, Yuuyami?”
In a great surprise, Lydia called her out.
“What is it? Please, stay close properly.”
With a swoosh , Yuuyami began to walk.
“Are you mad?”
Lydia asked during chasing Yuuyami.
“I’m not mad.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Perhaps. However at present I’m yet examining the emotions of myself.”
“Is that, perhaps, anger?”
“Why am I bound to be angry?”
“Eh? That’s probably, er…”
“Er?”
“Since my heart was pounding because of Apricot… and Yuuyami recognised it?”
“Oh. So the reson is jealousy.”
“Uh-huh. Either, or the anger which accompanies jealousy.”
“I see, I see. I’m jealous right now. Thus, perhaps, angry.”
“S, sorry?”
“Yes. I’ll forgive you. Nevertheless, if you repair Apricot, please, don’t flirt with her too much.”
“I would not! Only with Yuuyami!”
“I believe. And slightly embarrassed.”
“Really? Show me your face? Show me your faceー”
Lydia tried to take a roundabout path to be ahead of Yuuyami, however Yuuyami altered her direction and maliciously didn’t show her visage.
And then, Yuuyami smiled, saying: “Now that is called a payback.”
Lydia thought it must be done before forgiving.
But well, Lydia smiled a little, wondering if she recovered her good mood.
As they moved deeper in the Woodland, Lydia quite soon lost a sense of direction.
The Woodland was dim despite it being a daytime, and atmosphere there was chilly. Furthermore, the ground was bumpy and difficult to walk.
Overall, it was ominous place that stimulated a human fear.
