Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

"Um... um..."

As Satella continued to shake her, the girl let out a soft moan, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then her azure eyes opened.

—Those were eyes so clear they could reflect Satella's figure, untouched by any dust, like a fawn's, naturally exuding a feeling of tenderness, yet still lively.

One glance is enough to melt your heart and soul; she exudes the charm of a younger sister—a girl who comes alive with her eyes open, so adorable that she gives you that feeling.

However, Satella had seen quite a few cute girls, and she herself was a beautiful girl who was flawless in every way.

So after a slight gasp of surprise, she asked, "Excuse me, are you awake now?"

"Uh-huh…"

The girl seemed to have low blood pressure, nodding her head absently, blinking her bright blue eyes as she surveyed her surroundings, and speaking softly, her voice as light and melodious as a lark's.

"Where...am I?"

"You asked me where this is, I'm not quite sure either. In fact, I found you unconscious on the edge of the battlefield, and then, because of the remnants of the Demon King's army chasing me, I carried you into the interior of this forest, and now it seems we're trapped here."

To avoid unnecessary rambling, Satella explained the current situation in one go before asking any questions:

"So I want to ask you, do you know how to get out of this forest?"

As Satella recounted her story, the girl had already fully awakened.

The girl, standing with her hands crossed in front of her lower abdomen, looked as noble as a princess. After listening attentively to Satella's words, she shook her head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I've never been here before, and I don't know the way out of the forest."

However, the conversation quickly shifted again.

"But getting out of this forest won't be difficult. However, before that, may I ask your name? Judging from your appearance, you must be a nobleman?"

The girl said sincerely, "I must repay this life-saving grace no matter what."

“My name is Satella, and I’m not a noble at all.”

This wasn't the first time Satella had been mistaken for a noblewoman; after all, her gorgeous clothes and flawless skin were things that commoners couldn't possess.

Shaking her head, Satella said, "I am an adventurer... no, I shouldn't even be considered an adventurer now, which is why I'm in a hurry to go to Axel to register as an adventurer."

"—!"

Whether it was Satella's imagination or not, for a moment, the girl's eyes lit up, and even her voice lost its previous arrogance.

"I understand, I will definitely take you to Axel!"

The girl said this in an urgent tone.

Chapter 56 Satella Erudite

My name is Satella, and I am a transmigrator. To escape the Demon King's army, I fled into the forest, but I couldn't find my way out. However, it doesn't matter, because a girl confidently told me that she could lead me out.

But to my utter surprise, we were still wandering around in the forest until it got dark.

"Elise!"

Calling out the name the girl had just told her, Satella shouted:

"It escaped to your side! Be careful, you can pinch its belly or its two pincers, but be careful not to get your fingers pinched!"

"I...I understand, watch me!"

Unable to leave the forest even as darkness fell, Satella had no choice but to camp on the edge of a stream.

And now, they are... moving crabs.

thump!

Overly excited, Elise lunged forward too hard and fell into the water. However, she quickly climbed out of the water, her face covered in water droplets, and smiled happily at Satella, saying, "I caught it!"

As she spoke, she proudly raised her little hand, revealing a crab the size of a tablet computer struggling vigorously in her grasp.

"Wow, that's impressive!"

Is this really what you call a pristine, otherworldly place? To think we could catch such a huge crab!

To be honest, Satella was a little scared when she saw such a big crab, after all, she had a painful memory of being pinched when she was a child.

After Elise placed the crab on the ground, Satella knocked her unconscious with a stone, and the two began searching for other ingredients.

"Hmm, isn't this asparagus?"

"Watch out! Asparagus has a high attack power!"

"Waaah!"

"..."

Satella learned something new again. It turns out that in this world, eating high-level dishes can also increase experience points, and the higher the experience points a dish has, the more ferocious its attack will be. So don't be surprised if you see cabbages flying in the air, or if you make a plate of fried eggs and the fried eggs are breathing on you.

Unfortunately, Satella has not registered as an adventurer and does not have an adventurer card, so she cannot gain experience points.

After nearly an hour, Satella and her friends had collected a total of five crabs, two fish, some wild fruits, and some wild vegetables.

With the thought that "this should be enough," Satella went ashore, intending to light a campfire first, while Elise continued to happily play in the stream.

After spreading the ingredients on the ground, Satella found two dry, flammable branches. She picked up a sword she had casually picked up on the battlefield and began sharpening one of the branches.

But as she was slicing, she suddenly felt a sense of desolation welling up inside her.

She could be considered a semi-experienced time traveler.

Back in Re:Zero, she punched the kingdom's chief mage, kicked cold-blooded killers, ate dinners prepared by the sword saint himself, and dated the most beautiful half-elf. When she was unhappy, she could summon several dragons, and the whole country would kneel before her.

In A Certain Magical Index, he raced cars, sniped, and rescued damsels in distress. He ate the best food, wore the most expensive clothes, and had so much money that he couldn't spend it all. His most impressive feat was defeating dozens of ability users with a long sword.

But now?

Moving crabs, digging for wild vegetables, catching fish—there's nowhere to stay, and if you're not careful, you might get slapped by the food...

Thinking about it this way, Satella felt really sad.

"Lord Satella, what are you doing?" Iris asked, leaning closer to Satella, as the cool air from the stream carried her thoughts.

"Qing?"

"Um..." the girl explained somewhat flusteredly, "Because you are older than me, I feel it's inappropriate to call you by your name directly, but I don't know how else to address you..."

"Then call me sister."

Looking at the girl with a strong younger sister vibe, these words just slipped out of Satella's mouth.

"Hmm...uh...okay! Big sister!" The girl, flashing a cute smile, asked Satella curiously, "Big sister, what are you doing?"

"Get ready to start a fire."

Because of the way she addressed them, the two became much closer. Satella's expression softened, and she explained, "The forest at night is very dangerous, so we must light a campfire."

"I know that! It's used to scare away wild animals, right?"

"It's also useful for heating, roasting food, and so on. In short, it's very useful."

"But……"

Elise put her index finger to her lips, watching curiously as Satella twirled a sharpened twig on another branch. "Will this start a fire?"

"Probably... I guess."

To be honest, Satella herself wasn't very confident, after all, it was her first time doing something like this.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before the wood started to smoke, and the flammable hay that Satella had placed on it began to burn along with a few sparks.

"It's lit! It's really lit!" As if she had accomplished the feat of slaying a dragon, Elise clapped her hands excitedly and jumped up and down.

Satella: "..."

Actually, you didn't believe it at first, did you? ...Well, Satella herself didn't believe it either. When the flames actually started burning, she was startled. It turned out that starting a fire by friction really worked.

The next steps were simple: first, pile up the dry grass to make the fire bigger, then put a few dry branches on top, and soon the campfire was blazing.

The flames illuminated Elise's rosy cheeks, making her look extremely excited.

"Elise, come over here." Satella beckoned to the girl.

So the girl obediently came to her side and asked again like a curious child, "Why are you standing here on purpose?"

“Because this is downwind,” Satella said, pointing to the flickering flames. “When camping in this dangerous forest, never camp upwind, because wild animals have very sensitive noses, and it would be terrible if you accidentally attracted them.”

"I see, my dear sister, you are so knowledgeable!"

Elise clasped her hands to her chest, her azure eyes sparkling, and looked up at Satella with adoration.

Perhaps, for Elise, this was just a very natural action.

However, Satella really wanted to say that being looked at like that by a girl who was cute in every way was really easy to make one's vanity explode.

At this point, she was too embarrassed to say that the reason she knew this knowledge was because she had played a game called "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 4," and that this knowledge was said by the protagonist, Yun Tianhe.

Chapter 57 Elise's Yearning for Adventure

"Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Satella spat out all the grilled fish she had put in her mouth.

It tastes awful!

Although she was mentally prepared, in Satella's mind, it seemed that transmigrators all had the passive skill of being proficient in grilling, and could grill meat that was golden in color and had a fresh and fragrant aroma, regardless of whether there were any seasonings or not.

But now Satella realizes that this is all bullshit! Without salt or seasonings, how are you supposed to barbecue?

The slightly raw and fishy taste of the grilled fish almost made her vomit.
