[Finally, my Isekai begins!] I grinned up at the morning sky as we walked along a dirt trail with the forest pressing on both sides.
Amaya had dropped us in the middle of nowhere the moment morning came, saying, "We should go separately," before tossing a coin pouch at me, pointing north, and driving off.
Which was perfectly fine by me. I'm way past my capacity for mind games.
So we walked, soaking in the morning's stunning beauty and the chorus of birdsong.
The leaves, the moss on the trail, even the trail itself, were still damp from the morning dew while gentle golden rays of the morning sun trickled in through the canopy.
I've been in this world for three days now, but this was the first day I felt as though I was walking without looking over my back.
There was this lightness in my chest that felt… magical. Yeah, that's the word.
I took in another deep breath, filling my lungs with the sweet smell of the forest.
