"Don't sleep, don't sleep. Wake up, you're leaving!"

Oleg's voice echoed in the dim room, carrying a hint of urgency and reluctance.

He pulled Theresa, who was still sleeping, out of the bed. His movements were quick but gentle.

Theresa opened her eyes drowsily, but before she was fully awake, Oleg quickly pulled her up.

"Hurry, time is running out."

As Oleg spoke, he swiftly dressed Theresa.

He stuffed the packages that had been prepared long ago into the boxes of the carriage, and each package was filled to the brim.

The sky was gray, the sun had not yet risen, and the whole world was shrouded in a hazy gray.

Beside the carriage, Grandpa Augustus was talking in a low voice with the coachman.

"Please take care of me during this journey."

As he spoke, he took out some extra currency from his pocket and stuffed it into the groom's hand.

The groom took the money, nodded, and a look of respect appeared on his face.

Augustus turned his gaze towards Theresa, walked up to her, gently patted her shoulder, and whispered, "Be careful on the road. Come back and play next time."

The carriage started slowly and the wheels rolled over the muddy road.

Just like before, yet different.

"Yawn~"

Theresa stretched and lazily stuck her head out of the window, trying to let the cool morning breeze dispel her hazy sleepiness and confirm that she was not in a dream.

Although it was early in the morning, the dirt road in front of me seemed to have been completely transformed. Compared with the bumpy road in my memory, the road surface was now much smoother.

"It's incredible how much the world has changed."

Theresa turned to look at the groom driving the horse and found that he was no longer the same Akjan.

This change made her realize that she seemed to have nothing to do with the church anymore, and was no longer the saint who shouldered such a heavy responsibility.

Now, she is just an ordinary adventurer, freely pursuing her dreams.

"Ah, this all feels so unreal." She couldn't help but sigh softly.

"What's wrong, miss? You sound a little melancholy." The groom heard her whisper and asked with concern.

"Nothing, it's just that I haven't relaxed like this in a long time, and I'm suddenly a little uncomfortable."

Theresa opened the wrapping cloth, picked up a piece of cake, and savored it carefully.

"This is normal, so sometimes you might as well be nicer to yourself and not always worry about unimportant things." The groom responded gently.

"You make sense..." Theresa nodded thoughtfully.

She began to think, is it really that important to find the answer?

Aren’t the original dreams realized now?

No one was hurt, and everyone was able to live their lives in peace and contentment.

As the carriage bumped along, Theresa's mood gradually calmed down.

She looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, her heart filled with anticipation and longing for the future.

"stop--!"

The groom pulled the reins suddenly, and the horse neighed and stopped in a hurry, and the wheels left deep marks in the mud.

Theresa hit the wall of the car heavily due to inertia, and her forehead hurt, but she didn't care about it. She quickly jumped out of the car and looked around vigilantly, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Rui Jin, where is your trap?" A clear male voice came from not far away.

"Next to the big tree ahead!" another voice responded quickly.

"Bahrain, get ready!"

Liora shot out a blazing fireball that hit a massive rhino-like creature in front of her.

The fireball hit its flank precisely, and the scorching flames exploded on its skin, forcing it to let out a painful roar and then turn in another direction.

"Haha! Get him!" A rough male voice came from above his head.

Balin, holding the Storm Sword, jumped down from the top of a tall tree and slashed heavily at the rhino-like creature.

"Well done!" Leola clapped her hands with a victorious smile on her face.

"Hehe, a piece of cake." Balin picked up the big sword and patted his chest proudly.

"Le…Aora?"

Theresa stood there, witnessing all this, feeling both surprised and delighted.

She didn't expect to meet someone familiar here.

"Ok?"

Liora turned around and saw the girl walking up to her, a gentle smile on her face.

He waved gently, his tone warm and friendly: "What a coincidence? I met you here, little Tracy."

"Little Tracy?"

When Ruijin and Balin heard the name, they put down their work at the same time and showed surprise on their faces.

"How was it? Did you enjoy your little village?"

Regin nudged Theresa with his elbow and asked playfully, a hint of teasing and concern in his tone.

"Well, I'm very happy."

Theresa couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, we missed you too!" Balin patted her shoulder and laughed heartily, "I didn't expect to meet you here, it's fate!"

"Well, Mr. Groom, please take me here. I'll go back with them later."

Theresa turned to the groom and said, with a hint of apology and gratitude in her tone.

The groom nodded, an understanding smile on his face. "Okay, miss. I wish you a safe journey and see you again someday."

Everyone helped Theresa move her packages off the carriage one by one and put them on their large cart.

Ruijin looked at the pile of luggage and couldn't help but teasing, "Oh my god, your family brought so many things for you? Are they moving the whole family here?"

"They're all delicious," Theresa said as she took out some pastries from the package and handed them to everyone. "Try them. My grandfather made them. They're delicious."

"Then we won't be polite."

Leora took a piece of cake, took a bite, savored it carefully, and nodded in praise. "It tastes really good. But, this should be made specially for you, right? It tastes a bit too sweet for me."

"What's wrong with being sweet? Sweet things are the best!" Balin grabbed a piece of cake without hesitation, took a big bite, and mumbled, "Only when I'm full can I have the strength to pull the cart for you!"

"Balin, can you eat more elegantly? Don't ruin little Theresa's pastries."

Ruijin also picked up a piece of cake and ate it while laughing and joking.

"Can elegance be eaten? Besides, isn't this how we usually eat?"

Balin swallowed it and patted his chest, "Get in the car! Let's go back to the guild and have a drink!"

Theresa sat on the cart after a long absence and summoned a ball of light to provide illumination for the team.

No one has changed, it's still the same.

Leola, in particular, is still as gentle and understanding as when they first met.

He always seemed to be able to sense Theresa's mood changes, just like now.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about something?" Leola walked to Theresa and asked softly.

"Nothing serious, just a little annoyance."

Theresa made up an excuse and tried to get away with it. "When I get back, I'm going to be a big sister. I'm worried about whether I can play this role well."

"Being a sister..."

Liora repeated thoughtfully, then couldn't help laughing. "With your personality, it's okay if it's a younger sister. But if it's a younger brother, it's hard to imagine you not treating him like a servant."

"Haha, maybe that will really happen!"

Theresa laughed at Liora's words, and the scene of herself ordering her brother to do this and that emerged in her mind.

"But no matter what, if you were a sister, you would definitely love them very much. You always like to think about others."

"Hehe~"

Theresa nodded awkwardly.

The cart continued to move forward slowly, and as time passed, the sky gradually became brighter.

A red sun was rising quietly, and the afterglow happened to shine on Theresa's white hair, making every strand of hair shine with charming luster.

“What a beautiful sunrise!”

Theresa couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, she was leaning on a box full of goods, slightly tilting her head up, her beautiful eyes gazing at the rising sun.

While admiring this magnificent view, Theresa suddenly seemed to remember something important.

She subconsciously pursed her lips, and her originally relaxed brows wrinkled slightly.

When she turned to look at the familiar faces around her, the uneasiness and worry in her heart seemed to gradually dissipate, and she relaxed her tense body again.

The familiar city gate gradually came into view, and Theresa felt a sense of familiarity in her heart.

“Remember to come drink in the evening!”

Balin pulled the cart and waved enthusiastically to the guards at the city gate with a loud and cheerful voice.

"You guys have a good harvest this time. I will definitely come tonight."

The guard responded with a smile, obviously accustomed to Balin's invitations.

They let them go one after another, even skipping the routine inspections.

"Guild, long time no see."

Theresa murmured softly, her eyes fixed on the familiar building in the distance, her heart filled with nostalgia.

"Little Tracy, go back to the guild first. Let's deal with this prey first. Your package has been packed in a big bag by Regin." Leora patted Theresa's shoulder and said gently.

"it is good."

Theresa nodded, jumped off the cart, and dusted herself off.

"Can you carry it?" Leola asked worriedly.

"Of course!"

Theresa answered confidently, wondering how this little weight could possibly be a problem for her.

When she tried to lift the big bag, she found that things were not as easy as she thought.

The bag was much heavier than she had expected. She managed to lift it, but she was a little shaky when she walked.

It’s strange, why has my strength become weaker?

Liora and Balin couldn't help laughing when they saw her.

Ruijin even teased, "Little Tracy, it seems that you have been living a little too comfortably since you returned to the village!"

“No way!” Theresa muttered, trying to defend herself.

"Okay, stop being so stubborn, let us help you get it."

Liora walked forward with a smile and helped Theresa carry the bag to the door of her room.

"Then we'll go first. Remember to come down for dinner together tonight."

"Ok."

Theresa smiled and waved, then her eyes fell on the door handle.

If... I mean if...

If only this world were so perfect.

Then she must be there, right?

Just like before, you can see it by opening the door.

Theresa stood in front of the door, her hand gently on the doorknob, her heart filled with anticipation and anxiety.

Her heart was beating fast. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Click——"

The door was pushed open.

If it can be pushed open, it means there is someone inside.

Theresa's eyes flashed, and her gaze scanned the room eagerly, finally settling on the figure in front of the table.

A young girl was sitting at the table with her head down, holding a pen in her hand, seemingly writing something with great concentration.

Especially the white beret, which seemed to bring Theresa back to the past.

"Grass... four-leaf clover..."

Theresa's voice trembled with uncontrollable excitement.

Her tears immediately welled up and she almost threw herself forward, her movements so big that even the table shook slightly.

The girl sitting at the table was startled by the sudden noise and looked up. Before she could react, Theresa had already pounced on her legs and hugged her tightly.

"Woo...Woo..."

Theresa buried her face in the girl's legs and burst into tears, venting all her longing, grievances and loneliness.

"I...I miss you so much...I really miss you..."

Her shoulders trembled violently, and her tears soaked the hem of her skirt.

"I'm having a hard time... They always bully me... Even though I haven't done anything..."

The girl listened quietly to Theresa's story, then reached out and gently stroked Theresa's hair.

"I'm sorry, there's no grass or four-leaf clovers here."

Theresa raised her head while sobbing, and looked at the girl in front of her with red eyes.

That face was a face she was all too familiar with.

“There are only sunflowers here.”
