The brighter the light of Sasha's necklace shone, the clearer the writing became.
Sasha was more focused on paying attention to the writing that appeared in the mirror, until the red writing was clearly visible.
“Lead” says Sasha who focuses on looking at the mirror
you are the chosen one. Don't give up on the challenges, learn and understand everything you experience
“Like the words motive” said Sasha with a tense and focused face in front of the mirror
After Sasha finished reading the writing that appeared in the mirror, the writing finally faded and then disappeared.
“Looks like enough for today, I'm tired once” said Sasha as she dropped her body onto the mattress
“Good sleep Guin, Good night Oly” Sasha said as she closed her eyes
“So sorry, Sasha, she looks really exhausted” Guin said while looking at Sasha
After that Guin disappeared while Oly perched in his usual place.

It was morning, and sunlight began to enter Sasha's room through an unclosed window.
The sound of a cock crowing also the alarm clock that reads.
“It's morning ya” said Sasha with a limp tone
“Hay Oly, good morning” said Sasha greeting Oly
As usual, Sasha tidied up the bed then went downstairs.
“Good morning Mother” greet Sasha to Mom who is preparing warm milk
“Wah, the mother's child is awake apparently” replied Mother with a smile looking at Sasha who covered her head with a towel
“I shower first Mother” said Sasha who staggered
Mom just smiled at the strange behavior of her daughter.
***
After finishing the bath, Sasha went on to have breakfast with Mom and Dad.
“You've taken a shower Sasha” asked Dad
“Already well, my body is tired once, after a shower so pretty fresh” replied Sasha smiling
“Wahh, like running out of a long way yes Daddy” son joked Dad while laughing
For a moment Sasha was silent at his father's words, thinking whether Dad knew about Sasha's journey to Gunma Kingdom.
Sasha did not respond to Dad's words, she was afraid that later she would tell him about what she experienced last night.
“Dad is-anything, let's have breakfast” take Sasha
“Oh yes Sha, later follow Dad to Akibara ya” take Dad
“There's what Yah” asked Sasha
“Friends Dad who is also the principal there wants to meet with us. I plan to get you into Akibara”, Dad explained to Sasha
“Your father is also one of Akibara alumni, because the location is not too far from our village now, Your father plans to enter you to Akibara” said Mother while eating bread
“Alright, after breakfast I am ready to join Ayah” said Sasha
akibara High School is the school closest to Sasha's current home.
Although located near the countryside, Akibara is one of the favorite schools.
Many Akibara graduates have gone on to study abroad.
Previously Akibara is located in the city center, because it wants to get good quality students then this school is moved to near the countryside. The goal is to gain calmness in teaching and learning.

“Come Daddy, I'm ready” take Sasha who is well dressed
“OK, let's go” replied Dad while taking his car keys
They also headed for the car.
“We leave Bu, daaaa” Sasha said as she waved to Mom from inside the car
“Be careful on the road yes, if it is done quickly go home” replied Mom while waving her hand anyway
***
They finally arrived in front of the school gate that was black and made of iron.
In this school, vehicles are prohibited from entering except bicycles. Therefore, many teachers in this school who ride a bicycle while going to school
Upon entering the school gate, Sasha saw a large and spacious building. What caught Sasha's attention the most was when he saw a clock with a large size in the school building, and on it was written “AKIBARA” with a large size as well.
“Waaahhh, this school is so big, I did not expect near the countryside there is a school as grand as this” said Sasha as she looked around the school
“Let's meet the principal” with Dad
They also walked to the principal's room on the 2nd floor of this school.
“When Dad attended school here, the building was not this grand, but at that time it was quite elit” explained Dad while walking
“What majors did you take while attending school here” asked Sasha
“This is famous for its literary majors, but Dad got into the management department” replied Dad
“In high school there are already majors like that, no wonder if alumni of this school can enter colleges abroad”, said Sasha
“We have arrived, this is the room” said Father who stopped at the door
“Excuse me, it's me, Braum” Dad said as he knocked on the door
“In Braum, I'm in” said the principal
“Please sit” said the principal
“What this little girl named Sasha” asked the principal while smiling at Sasha
“Iya sir, my name is Sasha, Sasha Linch” Sasha replied
“Don't hesitate, I've known about you from your father's story since you were a toddler” said the principal
Sasha's father is the type of person who doesn't forget his old friend. Almost all of his old friends he always called when there was free time. For Sasha's father, forgetting friends is a big loss.
“Oh yes, the plan is Sasha will you enter into what department Braum” asked the principal
“If it's up to Sasha, I can't decide for myself” replied the smiling father
“How is Sasha, what will you take” asked the principal
“I'm interested in literature majors, can I go there” asked Sasha
“Can be, but later there will be a fairly difficult test, are you ready” said the principal
“I'm ready pak” replied Sasha
“Alright, then I will give you this book, you must learn, you must learn, one more week I will have tests for you” said the principal while giving a book he took from his desk
After the headmaster gave Sasha a book, Sasha opened it and read it. Since the book wasn't too thick, Sasha read it casually.
While Sasha reads books, Dad and the headmaster are busy with their chatter discussing the events of their childhood, Sasha occasionally wants to laugh at their stories, but Sasha held him back for being disrespectful if anyone chatted and then laughed along.
***
It didn't feel like it had been two hours that Sasha and Dad were in the principal's room. Time has shown at 11:00. Dad asked permission for the principal to go around looking at the atmosphere in the school.
“What can we go around the school, I want Sasha to look around the atmosphere at this school so that when she starts school she does not go to school if she wants to go to the school cafeteria” said the father to the headmaster while laughing
“For Sasha, you have to study the book, do not let the test results below the average”, said the principal
“Good sir, I'll try” said Sasha excitedly
They finally decided to go around the school.
“Dad, how long have I known the principal” asked Sasha
“Since I was a child Dad has been playing with him, Uncle Mic is also familiar with the principal” replied Dad
“Ouw, it's fitting that father and principal look very familiar” said Sasha
After they went around to some parts of the school they finally stopped at the school cafeteria to rest.
While in the cafeteria, Sasha saw a solitary female student reading a book.
“Dad, it's still a lesson time, why are there students outside the classroom” asked Sasha while watching the students who were under the banyan tree near the canteen
“Now, it's possible that he's in law” replied Dad confused
After resting, Sasha and Dad went home.
Along the way Sasha is still reading the book that the headmaster gave her.
Sasha is a child who is easy to understand a lesson, in the old school he also became one of the exemplary students because he often became a general champion in his old school.
While on the way Sasha felt there was something strange about the necklace he was wearing. After Sasha saw that the necklace was on. He did not understand the point, because Zen had not previously told Sasha what the sign would be if her necklace was lit while outside the mirror dimension.
“Wah, what is this, why is my necklace lit” Sasha said inwardly
Arriving at Sasha's house, he went straight to his room. When opening the door, Guin is seen in front of a mirror that emits light all over his side.
“What's with the mirror is Guin, why it lights up like that, my necklace also lit up all the way home was” said Sasha who was confused by what happened
“Now I don't know either, it's been since this mirror gives off light like this” replied Guin
“Looks like we have to go to Gunma again Guin” said Sasha who panicked
“Let's go there” take Guin
“Ayo” Sasha replied
Sasha put down her luggage and rushed off into the mirror. Not to forget Sasha also brought her family's books.
Sasha, Guin and Oly enter a mirror that has formed a portal.
When Sasha arrived, she was confused by the location they had come to. They were in a room, where Sasha saw a pile of firewood, as well as a bonfire with a teapot hanging over it.
After a while Zen entered the room.
“Sasha, have you been here for a long time, asked Zen
“Not so long uncle Zen” replied Sasha
“This is where uncle, I have never seen a room like this before” asked Sasha
“This is where I rest, precisely this is my home” replied Zen
“Uncle Zen, why is my necklace lit while in my world, my mirror also appears red light” asked Sasha
“That's the sign I called you here” replied Zen
“Then what uncle called me here” asked Sasha
“You brought the book kan” asked Zen
“This secret book uncle” means asked Sasha while showing the book that Sasha brought
“Iya, the book” Zen replied
“Do you have not opened a new page” asked Zen
“Not uncle, I haven't had time to open it” replied Sasha
Sasha opened a new page that she had never read before.
On the next page Sasha gets a new lead.
- In the dark forest store sparkling gold. Defeat your mind. Go ahead and find that sparkling gold
“What Zen uncle knows about that place” asked Sasha while looking at Zen
“Now, I'm not sure what I'm thinking” said Zen who was thinking about somewhere
“It turns out there is indeed such a place here” said Sasha with a serious look towards Zen
“Iya, that place is indeed here, but I don't expect that place to be in” said Zen as he lowered his head
There is one place Zen thinks about. But Zen was heavy to say to Sasha. The place is very dangerous and Zen does not expect Sasha to be threatened with safety because of this mission.
“Tell me uncle about the place” pinta Sasha with a serious tone
“Alright, I will tell you about that place” Zen said
“The forest that the book refers to may be the forbidden forest to the west, the distance from here may be a day's ride by horse. So far away and dangerous, therefore no one dared to go there. But to my confusion, as far as I know there is no gold, no gold, unless there is only a dark forest with its various inhabitants” explained Zen to Sasha
“Then why Uncle thought that place was meant by this book” asked Sasha
“Because only the forest is always dark, it knows no time of day or night. Forever the forest will dark”
After Sasha heard Zen's explanation, Sasha still wanted to go to that place.
Because Sasha's ultimate goal is to uncover her family's secrets, Sasha is not concerned with the dangers or threats she will encounter.
“Uncle Zen, I have to go there, my goal until here is to find out the secret of my family” Sasha said in a serious tone
“That place is far more dangerous than what you think Sasha is. That place is really very dangerous” Zen told Sasha
“I will stay there uncle, tell me where is the place” pinta Sasha who is very ambitious
“Alright, I will accompany you to that place” Zen responded by force
Zen agrees to Sasha's request, because Zen has promised someone that if a girl comes later, Zen must take responsibility for her safety until the girl's goal is achieved.
Zen did not know the purpose of the book. Zen only got orders to escort Sasha and tell her about Sasha's family when the time was right.
“Are you ready with the danger that we will encounter later Sasha” asked Zen seriously
“Every uncle, I am ready because my friends can definitely help me” Sasha replied
“Sometimes we do have to trust our friends but not to hope for them. Friends will help us only to the extent of his ability, beyond that we all have to fight” Zen explained to Sasha
“Bring this, use if needed. You are a descendant of the Linch family, I believe you can use it” Zen said as he gave a black katana sword as well as a few small blades as a means of self-protection
“Thank you uncle” Sasha said while accepting Zen's gift and putting it to her waist
“Oh Yes Uncle. Uncle hasn't told me about my family, can Uncle tell me now” asked Sasha
“Now is not the right time Sasha, when the time comes later I will explain to you” replied Zen
Sasha nodded and did not ask Zen any more.
They prepare to go to the place where they have been. With the supplies and weapons they needed, they came out of Zen's house.
Outside there are already two white and black horses that are indeed Zen vehicles.
Sasha rode on a white horse while Zen was black.
The long journey began. The danger that will befall them will soon be met.
Armed with courage, Sasha stared intently ahead with determination and confidence to get past the obstacles that awaited.
“White horse, let's go forward”
