Finding Your Way Home In Another World With The Gender Change Skill/Shadow & The Jester [Remake]
Interlude: Escape (II) and Search

After 5 minutes we both darted south from the Palace, finally Meirin began to stop herself by using her own wind magic to stop the movement of her body and after that she landed very gracefully towards the ground.

After the feet of Meirin began to tread on the ground. He immediately sighed with relief while starting to turn his gaze towards me with a troubled face. Then Meirin began to open her mouth and said.

“I really apologize profusely to Charlene-sama. Because I played around by taking Charlene-sama away from the Palace without waiting for approval from You” Meirin said in a tone filled with regret while starting to lower me from her ‘Master Princess’ sling.

Although I was a little annoyed by Meirin's rash actions. But because he did it for my sake. There is no reason for me to blame him.

“It's okay Meirin. You did all these things for me too. Because of that, I have no reason to blame you” I said with a soft tone as usual while putting a bright smile on my face.

Meirin who heard this statement from me became slightly relaxed. Then, after some light conversation between me and Meirin. Then, the two of us started walking down this forest to find a place for the two of us to rest. Because Meirin seemed to be still exhausted, as a result of what she had done before.

...

..

.

After a few minutes of walking, we both finally found a cave that looked quite decent to live in, then we both decided to settle in this place for a while.

Then Meirin and I began to share the tasks for the two of us to do. I'll try to find some firewood around, while Meirin will look for some fish in the river near here.

After we finish our tasks. I started using my fire magic to make campfires to cook the fish that Meirin brought.

Meirin began stabbing the fish with a wood to bake them over the campfire. Finished doing so, he began to walk away again in search of some fruits that could be eaten.

While I began to stare at the bonfire while waiting for the fish that was being roasted was ripe. Because, I haven't eaten anything today, due to the very sudden turn of events before her.

‘Despite that, I still can't believe it. If Andrian-nisama does such a cruel thing’ thought me while starting to flip the fish so as not to be bored.

A few minutes later, Meirin returned with a basket of fruits that I had never seen before. Along with the Meirin return, the fish roasted on the bonfire were also ripe.

Seeing that, the two of us started to stop our respective work and started eating this cooked roasted fish.

With a little hesitation, I started to pick up one of the grilled fish and started eating it. When this grilled fish entered my mouth, I was immediately startled by how delicious this fish was.

Even though her appearance looks ordinary. But the meat owned by this fish is so soft and has a little sweet taste mixed with some spicy and sour taste.

Seeing the reaction from me, Meirin chuckled a little before she explained about this fish being eaten by us.

“This is one of the fish that someone recommended to me. The guy said, he got this knowledge from other people as well, and the one who gave him that knowledge was a very strong person” Meirin said in a tone of voice that somehow sounded like she was bragging herself.

“So, I decided to ask for help from the person. He said, if this person was now in the forest [Groen Forest]” continued Meiri with the same tone of voice as before while starting to stare towards the North.

“And also, this fish has the name [Blue Fish]. This is a fish that only lives in the forest [Groen Forest] and it is very impossible to get it other than from within this forest” Meiri explained excitedly while starting to look at me with sparkling eyes.

After explaining that, Meirin started eating this fish called [Blue Fish] happily. I could only smile thinly, because I knew that Meirin loved food.

Ignoring all kinds of problems that existed before him. The two of us started devouring the remaining fish in a joyful mood.

.

.

.

After about 30 minutes, we both finally finished eating all of these [Blue Fish] happily.

We also started talking lightly in memory of our childhood. Even though that section contains only a few stupid acts from Meirin alone.

Meirin who recalled that instantly covered her face with both of her palms and started to lower her face in embarrassment. Seeing Meirin's behavior like this, I couldn't help but laugh at her.

But still, I was still troubled by what Meirin had said before her. About Andrian-Nisama who teamed up with one of the Demon Lords and made Otou-sama his puppet.

Decided to ask that. I slowly started to get up and approached Meirin. Meirin who saw that could only look at me with a face that wondered.

Even so, I ignored it and started sitting next to her. Started taking deep breaths to calm myself down, then I started to open my mouth and say.

Meirin who heard that sudden question from me, she instantly froze for a while before turning her gaze to the side.

Seeing Meirin's behavior, I immediately frowned and began to force her to answer.

Meirin who could not stand it was starting to agree. He began to take deep breaths to calm himself down. Moments after her, she managed to calm down. Then Meirin began to open her mouth and said.

“Iya, it is indeed a truth” Meirin said with a firm tone while starting to clench her hands very tightly.

Looking at that, I could only think of, if Meirin seemed to feel guilty about something with me. Because I can't stand his behavior. So, I immediately forced her to look me in the eye and say.

“Tell me everything now. No matter what I hear from you later. I will still accept her, because you are by my side instead of Meirin?” I said that with a firm tone of voice while pointing at the confident smile plastered on my face.

Meirin who heard the words from me, she started to sigh tiredly and started to reply with a smile towards me as well. Then he started telling me everything.

☆-----___-----___-----☆

At the same time.

In a place that looks like a throne room. There was a handsome brown man sitting on a throne in the room.

He looks like a man in his 20s with short silver hair and reptilian eyes that are golden red. The man was wearing a black robe with a red complexion and a loose gold trouser with red stripes beside him as his subordinate.

He looks not to cover his upper body at all and looks more like he is showing off the muscular body possessed by him. This man also had pointy ears that looked like the ears of an Elf.

He was now closing his eyes like he was thinking about something. A few minutes later, a knock came from the door in the room.

Hearing the knock, this man started to open his eyes and said in a tone of voice that sounded a little irritated, “Who?”.

Moments after the man asked, a voice began to be heard from someone behind the door, “I Waz, I came here to deliver a report to Andrian-sama”.

Hearing that, this man called Andrian started to smile a little, before he re-opened his mouth again and said, “Come”.

After hearing the words of Andrian. The closed door slowly began to open. There appeared a brown-skinned man with long hair tied in a ponytail style of light blue and purple eyes.

The man is about 178cm tall with a burn in his right eye. He wore a black long-sleeved shirt with red sleeves and black loose pants as his subordinates. Also, there are two daggers located on both sides of the waist of the man.

This man started to walk forward towards Andrian. After this man reached in front of Andrian, he immediately kowtowed.

Saw this light blue haired man coming to face her. Andrian could not help but smile. Because, if this guy comes here, it means the plan he made before his success.

Andrian opened his mouth to speak. Suddenly a soldier entered the room in a hurry.

Looking at the incoming soldier without any excuse, Andrian immediately frowned and clicked his tongue in annoyance. Even so, he still allowed the soldier to convey the reason why he had entered in such a hurry.

“Tell me the reason why you entered this place without the slightest courtesy. If the reason you have is not very important. Then I make sure you die in the most horrible way you ever imagined” Andrian said in a furious tone as he began to intimidate the soldier.

Feeling the terrible intimidation of Andrian. This soldier immediately spoke with a tone of voice filled with fear.

“A-a-there is a big problem Andrian-sama!! Pu-pu-daughter Charlene was taken away by Meirin Korleina towards the forest [Groen Forest]!” Said the soldier with a tone of voice filled with fear while prostrating very trembling in front of Andrian.

Andrian who heard that instantly became very surprised and hurriedly ordered the soldier to immediately search for him.

“Give everyone under the command of Pilaris to search for him immediately!! No matter if he lives or not, bring Charlene back!!” Andrian shouted in a furious tone as he began to rise from the throne he was sitting on.

“Good!!”

After that, the soldier started running out of the room in a hurry.

Seeing that, Andrian began to frown and turn his gaze toward the window in the room.

After a few minutes of silence that somehow felt very gripping, finally Andrian began to turn towards the light blue haired man who was in the room while saying in a firm tone, Andrian finally started to turn towards the young blue haired man who was in the room while saying, “We postpone the report from you first. Now go and help Pilaris find Charlene”.

“Good!!”

After answering briefly. The young blue-haired man started to get back on his feet and turned around to leave the room. Leaving the upset Andrian alone in the room.
