Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

Satella threw away all the grilled fish, then turned around and saw that Elise was still struggling with the grilled fish.

However... it was the kind where her eyes were filled with tears.

Satella couldn't bear to watch any longer and advised, "If you think it tastes bad, then don't eat it. There are still some fruits and wild vegetables here, which should last until tomorrow."

"No! This is the first food I've ever made myself, I must finish it!"

The girl's voice contained a profound realization, which inexplicably reminded Satella of the line, "The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return."

Shaking off the strange thought from her mind, Satella casually ate a few wild fruits and then took out her phone.

I wanted to read a novel, but it was really hard to concentrate in this environment, so I started planning for the current situation.

In terms of timing, it's 8 PM now. Ideally, I'd be able to fall asleep by 9 PM, get seven hours of sleep, and then set off around 4 AM when it's just getting light.

As for how to get out of the forest, Satella already had some ideas.

In her past life, she read tens of thousands of online novels and learned a lot of random things. One of them was a historical novel in which the protagonist also traveled to a forest and eventually got out of the forest by following the river.

If that doesn't work, there's a compass on your phone. Just walk in one direction and you'll eventually find your way out.

"Rusting sound".

With a soft sound, Satella sensed that someone had appeared beside her.

"Big sister, what is this?" Iris's big blue eyes were always filled with curiosity.

"This is a cell phone, well... it's kind of a magical gadget. It can be used to play games, read novels, provide light, and so on. When paired with the solar-powered power bank next to it, it can be used indefinitely."

"Wow, amazing! A magical item that can be used indefinitely... wouldn't that be a divine artifact?"

"Hmm? There are divine artifacts in this world?" Satella had only watched the anime, and she couldn't remember some of the plot details, so she didn't know much about this world.

"Yes, like the sword I was talking about... no, I mean, we have a sword at home."

Elise shrank back, trying to conceal the longsword behind her... But to be honest, even if the blade wasn't visible, the scabbard on the girl's back was far too magnificent. Satella had noticed it long ago, but she never expected it to be a divine weapon.

"In short, heroes are born from time to time in this world, and each hero always possesses a divine weapon."

Satella remembered that when those who died in Japan were reincarnated into this world, they were granted the privilege of choosing any divine weapon. However, the protagonist, Kazuma Sato, chose the goddess Aqua, and thus the story of Konosuba began...

So, I was also transported from another world to this one, why wasn't I given a divine artifact?

"Big sister, you just said that this magical item called 'cell phone' can play games. What kinds of games can it play?"

Is it true that she's still just a little girl?

Although he was somewhat hesitant at first, he always spoke cautiously, watching Satella's expression, and his words even carried a touch of aristocratic arrogance.

But once they get to know each other well, their true nature is immediately revealed, and they behave in a way that is appropriate for their age.

For example, he was clinging to Satella's arm, half-hanging on her, and craning his little head to curiously look at Satella's phone screen.

"Well, I'll show you."

Satella then opened a game, and the sudden sound effects and visuals startled the little girl. Then, blinking her big eyes, she asked with a mixture of curiosity and timidity, "What...what game is this?"

Satella answered with an air of superiority, "Connect! Connect! Look!"

Elise: "???"

Okay, my attempt to imitate Zeng Xiaoxian failed.

Elise's bewildered expression made Satella rub her face in embarrassment before saying, "Anyway, I'll try it out for you."

After spending a few minutes completing the game, the clever and quick-witted Elise figured out the rules and happily started playing on her phone.

Then, just over ten minutes later, Elise turned around, held up her phone, and smiled happily at Satella: "Big sister, I beat the game!"

"That's amazing!"

Hearing Satella's praise, Elise was even happier, her eyes narrowing into slits.

Her long, golden hair was incredibly smooth. The girl tilted her head up towards Satella, revealing a big smile. She was so... adorable! I really want to pat her head!

Satella thought this way, and she did this way.

When Elise first saw Satella's hand reach out, her big eyes were a little nervous and awkward, but soon she narrowed her eyes in enjoyment and gently rubbed Satella's hand.

So cute!

so cute!

To avoid appearing like a pervert and losing points, Satella coughed a few times to make the atmosphere more normal before speaking: "Elise, I want to talk to you about the night watch..."

"I'll do it!"

"Uh..." Seeing the girl's overflowing enthusiasm, Satella advised, "But it's best to rest for a while and keep your energy up..."

"No problem!" Elise puffed out her chest, her eyes sparkling. "Even if I don't sleep all night, I'll be full of energy tomorrow!"

...Okay, Satella roughly understands now. Elise must be the kind of girl who grew up in a greenhouse and is very much looking forward to and yearning for everything outside—especially adventurous life.

How innocent and naive they are!

But Satella felt that as a mature older sister, it was necessary to let this little girl know the dangers of the world.

So she threatened:

"The forest at night can be terrifying; some ferocious wild animals like to roam at night!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that we haven't encountered any monsters yet; this might be the lair of some incredibly powerful monster!"

"Uh-huh!!"

"There might even be monsters that specifically target little girls like you!"

"Uh-huh!!!"

Satella: "..."

Well, looking into the girl's eyes, which were practically radiating light, Satella was certain that her threatening words had only excited the girl more.

They looked as if they wished a dragon would pounce on them right now.

Chapter 58: A Hymn to the Martial Arts Princess

Forget it, I'll just stay up all night anyway. It's not like I haven't stayed up all night before.

With that thought, Satella sighed, sat down by the fire, and warmed her hands over the flames.

The forest was silent, without even the chirping of birds; only the crackling of the campfire added a touch of life to the scene.

Mars, enveloped in warm air currents, rose slowly, appearing like a dancing sprite under the soft moonlight.

Such a stunning view, and an unprecedented camping experience, suddenly stirred something within Satella:

"Elise, give me your phone, I'll teach you a new way to use it—taking pictures!"

"Photograph?"

Although somewhat confused and reluctant, Elise obediently handed over her phone.

Then, at Satella's request, she stood a little further away and struck various poses.

...Don't get me wrong, it's just a normal cute three-part combo—sticking out your tongue, pouting, and acting like a bunny.

clap clap clap!

After taking the photo, Elise immediately ran to Satella's side, hugged her arm, pressed her face against hers, and excitedly looked at the phone.

It has to be said that this phone truly lives up to its reputation as a product of Academy City. Even though it's just a phone, its camera function has already surpassed Satella's previous life's DSLR camera. Whether it's lighting effects or scenery, it has achieved perfect reproduction.

And the girl's incredibly cute appearance is also perfectly recreated!

"What...what's going on? Is that me in the phone? Am I trapped inside the phone?"

Although Elise, dressed in a magnificent battle gown, was clearly a noblewoman of great status, she still covered her mouth in surprise.

Yes, Satella could completely understand the girl's surprise. After all, such a scene was too shocking for the residents of this other world who had never seen a cell phone before, and it was completely beyond their comprehension.

Previously in Re:Zero, those three thugs were scared away by Satella taking photos.

"This is the phone's camera function. To put it simply, it's somewhat similar to painting. It doesn't lock you inside the phone, but rather 'paints' you and the scenery around you in an instant."

Satella explained it this way.

"That's amazing! What an incredible magical item!"

Elise marveled at the magic of the phone, but then immediately covered her face in embarrassment—she hadn't tidied herself up or changed into fancy clothes, and yet she had been drawn like this; she felt so rude and ashamed!

Then the girl, who felt a little embarrassed, pestered Satella, insisting that she take her picture too.

Satella, who had a phobia of being photographed in her past life, naturally wouldn't agree, but the girl was so persistent that she had no choice but to settle for a photo with Iris.

After choosing a good spot for the photo, setting the timer, and placing her phone at a suitable angle on the ground, Satella immediately ran to Elise's side.

"—"

The girl lunged forward and wrapped her arms around Satella's neck. Satella wrapped her arms around her waist, and their faces pressed intimately together. Maintaining this position, one girl raised a peace sign on her left and the other on her right.

"1, 2, 3... Cheese!"

Click!

Photo taken.

Satella walked over and picked up the phone to look at it. Iris wanted to see it too, but she was too small, so she stood on tiptoe next to Satella and impatiently called out, "Big sister, big sister, I want to see it too! Please let me see it!"

"Hmm... I'll show you, but it seems like I saw something strange in the photo."

Satella crouched down and handed the phone to Elise, her voice tinged with doubt: "Look, what are these yellowish things that look like two big lanterns?"
