METANOIA, A Wonder Place

Episode 17's

I remembered my plan last night, and just went straight to the top floor, to the warehouse. Passing the creepy circular staircase, it again rang every time I stepped on it.

Fortunately I was able to get to the top safely, seeing the condition, this ladder could fall at any time. Directly I led to the room that Lavi said was the warehouse, as soon as I opened the door, the dust immediately flew, and filled the air around.

My nose turned red immediately, and my sneezing came back again, fortunately there was a window in this room, so I opened it to let fresh air in, calming the flying dust.

I still sneezed, though not as bad as before, and I didn't want to spend too long in here, so I started looking for a map.

First I looked at the nearest box, but the result was nil, and then turned to the box next to it, and so on, until I gave up.

I leaned my body against the wall by the window, so that I could still breathe fresh air, at which point my eyes were fixed on the old bookcase, which was standing at the end of the room, there were scrolls of paper stacked on the shelf of the closet, it could be that there was a map I was looking for, I slipped among the boxes scattered on the floor, he said, approaching the old bookcase.

I opened the scroll one by one, and it turned out that all the maps, I was very lucky to feel, just that everything looked different, even though the map showed the same place.

Apparently the year of manufacture that distinguishes, so the map looks different even though a little, this village looks so broad on the map, like the small town that said uncle, and seen in the update, and the, and in the map almost every year. I don't want to waste any more time in this barn, my nose already

it turned red, and it started to hurt, so I just took the map whose paper looked the most recent among the others, then took it out.

I was really surprised when I saw Arie emerge from behind the stairs,” what are you doing?” Ask me.

“Do I always have to report, what do I do to you?” Her mouth, and I passed through it just like that, came down the screeching circular staircase.

In the room I began to look at the map, adjusting it to the childish map I found the day after tomorrow, the modern map was clearer, and the whole path was named, it's just that the weird pictures on the children's map I found, aren't here.

I estimate the green color of the forest, which is the main location, just not in the picture, so I marked it little by little, by my estimation.

When I was finished I planned to take a walk in the forest, I wanted to explore it much deeper, and map it myself, this time more accurately than the childish map I found.

I was standing by the forest, which was about 20 meters away from my back, from there I started to tell every step of the way, there was a thin blue quarry, I think it was the river I found yesterday, I walked towards the blue line slowly, counting each step, so that I would know the approximate distance.

About 150 steps I counted, and I came to the river bank with a calm flow, from here only a few more steps I arrived at the stone pitcher, I marked on the map, he said, with the drawing of the dots and the description, I am not good at drawing, but in this way at least my map looks a little different from the childish map.

From here I knew what was on my right side, a field that might have been a former campground, which I did not know the side of the forest to my left.

I walked along it, followed the stream so that I would not get lost, until I reached the junction, apparently here the river was divided, one into a shallow river with calm water, and there was a clear river, and the other one flows fast.

I kept walking, fixed on the river, until I realized the trees here began to sparse, but the sky was still covered with leaves, I looked around, I looked around, and my eyes caught a big tree behind the trees in front of me, so big from my current distance, I could see it clearly.

I was amazed to see a tree of this size still standing, I walked around this tree and observed every last thing, its skin began to be covered in moss, and its large roots, sticking out from the ground, they form small caves underneath.

There was a shrill sound as I watched the caves deeper, I looked towards the direction the sound was coming from, which turned out to be from a beautiful blue-haired bird yesterday.

He perched gallantly, on one of the branches of the big tree, flapping

its wings and down, this is the first time our distance is this close, it looks more

clearly again the beauty of her fur, and the golden luster on the lower part of her body were extremely dazzling.

I felt like I wanted to catch him and bring him home, show him off with my brothers, maybe I could put him in a cage, and lock him up, until his pretty fur was broken, and

luster disappeared.

It was an evil thought that I immediately stopped, it could have been this bird feeling it, I once read a glimpse of info that said, animals can actually feel our aura or intention, he said, therefore, a deer can escape when it wants to hunt, or a bird that flies away when we get closer.

I certainly didn't want this beautiful bird to fly away, I still wanted to see it up close, and watch its feathers glitter every time it moved, albeit a little, really beautiful, this bird against the backdrop of a huge old tree behind it, was like a painting that jumped out.

The bird was now flying away, I did not stop it in the slightest, watching him flap his wings up close already made me happy.

So this is the big tree I mean, on the childish map I found yesterday, it turns out that the tree is very big, so I also tagged it on the map I brought.

I sat there for a while, resting and enjoying the beauty of nature around me, the music made by the wind made me sleepy, but I could not fall asleep, I did not want to waste my time at all.

In the daydream I heard the sound of footsteps behind the trees, when I saw the origin of the sound, I found nothing, so I just walked, surrounded and explored around, a little further into the woods.

A fox leapt among the grass and stood looking at me, its golden red fur, similar to the painting in Arya's room, it seemed like this fox was her inspiration, there might be a lot of foxes living in this place.

The fox followed me slowly, but still kept a distance, between the bushes of grass and wildflowers, I let him go, it was rare for me to meet such wild animals, like this, it was a great experience.

I continued walking, which I had unknowingly reached near the stone bridge, which I found yesterday, I continued walking across the river, because I did not want to venture too far anymore, so I took a route that was about close to the edge of the forest.

The forest began to look thin and the edge was already visible, without me noticing, I had already walked quite close to the edge of the forest.

I noticed where I thought right now, there was nothing I knew about, this road was not asphalt like any other village road, just piled with rough rocks.

I walked on, following the road that seemed to grow farther and farther, until I reached the crossroads, there was a signboard that began to fade, saying Lust Lake pointed to the road I had just passed, and I was on, there seems to be a lake at the end, and a funny name for a lake.
