—A
girl was running.
In the
middle of a dense forest, wearing an out of place dress, a girl ran as fast as
she could. Constantly caught in branches and roots, the girl could barely hide
herself within the torn dress, with her thighs exposed.
Even
her originally bluish, gray hair became sticky from sweat and dirt.
However,
the girl didn’t pay that any attention, for the sake of escaping her pursuers.
「Oi! Was
she there!?」
「No, not
over here!」
She
could hear her pursuers’ voices, closer than she expected.
The
girl hurried and jumped into a nearby grassy plain, where she steadied her
heavy breathing, in order to hide.
「She
can’t have gotten too far yet! Search every nook and cranny! Just don’t harm
her! 」
「Understood!」
The
pursuers’ voices began to fade away. The girl began to run off in the opposite
direction.
After
running for a while, she came across a large river. With the stress and fatigue
from being chased, along with dehydration, the girl decided to take a small
rest.
The
girl scooped up some river water and brought it to her mouth. Whether she didn’t
want to ruin her stomach or was worried, because of the transparency, she was
nearing her limit.
With
both hands, she continued to drink the water.
The
girl began to relax by the riverside after the number of scoops exceeded 10.
But she
couldn’t stay carefree for long. She had to run away before the pursuers came.
With
that thought, the girl forced her aching body to stand.
At that
moment—
「There
she is!」
「!!」
They
found her!
The
pursuers were coming.
The
girl, in a panic, began to run away. From the unstable footing and fatigue of
continuously running, the girl lost her balance and—
—Splash—
Fell
into the river.
「!!Princess!」
The
pursuer shouted out to her, the princess of the country, as she was swept away
in the current.
Her tired
body could do little to resist as the current pushed her away. Furthermore, by
some bad luck, the current became even stronger, crashing her into one of the
rocks along the riverbed.
Collisions,
fatigue, and suffocation. On the verge of fainting, the girl was satisfied.
Just
before losing conciseness, the girl though to herself.
「(–Ah,
I wanted to fall in love once, before I die…)」
No
matter what the girl thought or what the pursuer shouted, the current didn’t
stop.
The girl’s body was washed away in the current—.
(TL note: The general idea is there, even if the main specifics aren’t completely accurate)
