Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

Is that even a question?

Satella is the cutest in the world!

Therefore, Satella will not go to the world of "Akame ga Kill!" until she has sufficient self-defense capabilities, since the time limit is three years anyway!

The same applies to "A Certain Magical Index". Although I am very fascinated by VR games and various high-tech gadgets, the danger level of "A Certain Magical Index" is also very high.

In this way, "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!" became the only choice, and also the best choice.

Why is it considered the best choice?

Although "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!" is also an otherworld filled with monsters, it sounds rather dangerous.

But you can level up by fighting monsters here!

That's right, it's literally about leveling up by defeating monsters.

In short, Konosuba is like a large-scale VR online game where you can change jobs to various combat classes, gain experience points by killing monsters, level up when you reach a certain level of experience points, and thus improve your physical attributes. You can also get skill points, which can be used to learn various job skills.

For novice transmigrators, this is definitely the most friendly world ever!

So Satella decided to go to this world first to improve her strength, and then go to other worlds to have some fun.

With the wind-up bandages tied around her body, her phone and solar-powered power bank tucked away, and a few gems she had prepared beforehand, Satella had completed her preparations for this trip.

The reason I didn't bring anything else is because there really isn't anything else worth bringing in the Re:Zero world.

Without divine weapons or powerful magic books, and certainly no advanced technology, Satella had no good stuff to take to other worlds, even though she had power and wealth in this world.

After completing the preparations, Satella took one last look at the sleeping Emilia before pressing the teleportation button.

—It was as if I had been suddenly thrown into the air, and my vision became swirling and distorted.

That feeling was really unpleasant; it was like being adrift in a turbulent river, with your body completely out of your control.

However, Satella had already traveled through many dimensions, so she was quite familiar with the feeling. Not only was she not flustered at all, but she also confirmed the plan for this time travel in her mind.

Normally, I should be teleported to Axel, which is called the "starter village", and then begin my adventure in another world from there.

The first step is definitely to latch onto a powerful figure and live off a woman. Although the protagonist, Kazuma Sato, will appear in Axel with his team, Satella will definitely not join that group.

—After all, that's a sadistic character named Kazuma who specializes in stealing women's panties!

Moreover, spending too much time with a brainless goddess like Aqua might make even the clever and quick-witted me become stupid.

Satella pinned her hopes of living off a man on another Crimson Demon girl named Yu-Yu.

With her strength, longing for friends, and being a cute girl who's also adorably naive and easily fooled, Youyou is practically the perfect guy to live off a woman!

If she were to apply to join the group, Youyou would definitely not refuse. In fact, given Youyou's temperament, she would treat her like royalty. All she would need to do then is follow Youyou and develop peacefully.

As for Aqua's wish, Satella, who has read the original work, naturally knows that the only way for Aqua to return to the realm of the gods is to defeat the Demon King. This kind of thing can be left to the protagonist team.

Two years should be more than enough time to defeat the Demon King, right?

That's a perfect plan!

—That's how it should have been.

"Boom!"

That's the sound of magic exploding.

"Clang!"

That's the sound of metal clashing together, like swords hitting metal.

"Destroy the Demon King's army!"

"Protect the royal city!"

Page 79

"Fight for Her Highness the Princess!"

That was the sound of soldiers roaring.

To the right were towering city walls, and the kingdom's army and adventurers poured out of the city gates in an endless stream, spreading across the entire battlefield like mercury.

On the left is a hideous monster, its footsteps pounding the earth, a dark mass that seems poised to ravage the entire land.

Flags on the ground were ablaze, acrid smoke filled the sky, and armored knights clashed with ogres wielding spiked clubs—

boom!

A massive fireball crashed down not far from Satella, the intense flames illuminating her profile, her silver hair flying wildly in the raging wind…

Satella, who was in the center of the battlefield, finally came to her senses.

"Does this have to start on hell difficulty?!" Satella was almost in tears, feeling wronged.

Chapter 55 Satella Trapped in the Forest

"rustle……"

Amidst the rustling of grass and leaves, Satella carried an injured little girl on her back as she ran through the forest.

She didn't know where she was. The previous war had been so chaotic that she had completely lost her way while running around aimlessly.

Although she was a human, Satella did not help the kingdom's army in the previous war.

After all, she currently only has a flawed version of Imagine Breaker and the skill [Premonition], and even with the addition of the Clockwork Bandage, she doesn't have much offensive capability.

To help the Kingdom's army, they would have to use the system's abilities, but Satella didn't think the current situation had reached the point where they absolutely had to use those abilities.

【Premonition】is arguably a life-saving skill on the battlefield, and combined with the speed provided by the Clockwork Bandage, it's enough to keep Satella safe.

Moreover, the kingdom's army, which had the advantage of terrain, was clearly in the lead, and the demon king's army was forced to retreat under the kingdom's offensive.

It seems that Wang Guojun has secured his position this time.

That's what Satella thought.

Then, just as she was thinking this, a flash of light streaked across the battlefield.

Boom!

An explosion occurred on the battlefield, and a huge mushroom cloud rose from the plain outside the city gate.

From the horrified cries of those around her, Satella learned that this magic was called "explosion".

The explosion halted the pursuing Kingdom army and also blew away Satella, who was watching from the edge of the battlefield.

Poor Satella was hit even while lying down. After she groggily got up from the ground, she found a petite girl in a battle dress lying motionless not far in front of her.

Before she could wake the girl, the commotion of the Demon King's army could be heard around them. With no other option, Satella carried the girl on her back and quickly fled the area.

—That concludes everything that happened before.

"Haa...haa..."

Gasping for breath, the thirty-minute sprint left Satella feeling like her lungs were broken; with each breath, a burning sensation shot through her chest.

"No one should be chasing us anymore. Let's rest here for a while."

After gently putting the girl down from her back, Satella herself leaned against a large tree, exhausted.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked up at the sky, and saw dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves, illuminating her pretty face that looked utterly dejected.

"...What a misfortune!"

After a long while, Satella let out this mournful cry.

According to Satella's original plan, she should have stayed in Konosuba (the abbreviation of Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!) for a few months, developed steadily, and then went to the world of A Certain Magical Index after leveling up.

But how come someone almost died right from the start?!

Why was I teleported to the front lines of the battle between the Kingdom's army and the Demon King's army?!

The plan was completely disrupted.

Although Satella was not unaware that her plans might fail, the way things were unfolding from the very beginning still left her somewhat helpless.

He was currently in a forest, where there were bound to be many ferocious monsters, and perhaps even remnants of the Demon King's army lurking around. The sun was about to set, and the forest would inevitably become even more dangerous after dark... His situation was truly extremely perilous.

"Calm down, Satella, think about this carefully."

Satella gently patted her cheeks, reminding herself of this as she mentally organized the current information and the things she needed to do.

First of all, despite this unexpected turn of events, the original plan remains unchanged. I still need to go to Axel to level up, since that was my original purpose in coming to this world.

If Satella remembers correctly, the Demon King's army and the Kingdom's army fought next to a very magnificent city.

Although that city is definitely not Axel, as long as you can enter the city, you should be able to hire a caravan or use the teleportation array to go to Axel.

So, the key question now is—how do we get out of this forest?

"………………………………"

Forget it, let's think about how to spend the night in the forest.

A dejected Satella began to examine the tools at her disposal, but just then, her gaze fell upon the unconscious girl.

The girl lying on the ground wore a magnificent blue and white battle dress. Her long golden hair had a brilliance that even the mud could not conceal. The sunlight shone through the green leaves, dappling her body and giving her an indescribable beauty, making her look as dashing as a Valkyrie.

Even so, it cannot conceal the fact that the girl is at most 12 years old.

They are far too young.

They actually sent such a little girl to the battlefield...

Satella frowned slightly, then relaxed, reached out, and gently nudged the still unconscious girl.

Based on her words alone, we certainly can't find a way out of the forest, but perhaps we can have some hope for this girl?

The girl was not seriously injured; she was probably just like Satella, hit by the shockwave at the edge of the explosion and knocked unconscious—of course, it is also possible that she was in the center of the explosion and her battle dress saved her life.

After all, that shimmering blue and white battle dress was by no means an ordinary item.
