Chapter 1, Episode 10: Patricia

"Well, let's go outside today."

Farne-sama then reached out his hand to me.
After we talked about moving out, Farne-sama said he had taken a lot of time off to practice going outside with me.

He said that from today on he would stay with me forever.
He won't go to work, and will aーalways, aーーーalways stay with me.
I'm happy, so happy. With Farne-sama all the time.
I took the hand that was offered to me and walked as best I could.

I've been able to walk a lot since then.
I can walk without holding onto him for a bit.
Farne-sama complimented me on my great physical strength.
Farne-sama and I walked to the front door, holding hands and doing our best to walk to the entrance, and then we went out to the garden.
I just recently got to walk with Farne-sama in the garden.
I practiced walking a lot when Farne-sama was not around so that I could gain strength every day.
Because I want Farne-sama to praise me.
The garden is still full of flowers and the beautiful lights are dancing happily.

Everyone loves Farne-sama.
They are dancing around so happily.
Farne-sama and I walked hand in hand, toddling along in the midst of the lights that were fluttering happily around Farne-sama.
I looked up at Farne-sama with a happy "ah," and he patted me on the head and said, "You have worked hard".

I was so happy about it that I hugged Farne-sama.
From there, Farne-sama took me in his arms and we walked straight through the flower garden.

"Today we will look at horse-drawn carriages."

Carriages?
A ride where you can hear the horse's voice?
I think I was on that when they dumped me in the woods.
They forced me into a bag and carried me around, and I couldn't see the scenery, but they put me on something.
Then I heard a neighing sound.
Gara gara gara gara.
The ride was very bumpy and scary.
That is probably a carriage.
When the carriage stopped, I was thrown from it.
It hurt so much at that time.
Put in a dark bag the whole time.
I thought I was being lifted up suddenly, but then I was thrown out of the bag.
The inside of the carriage was rattling and painful.
I kept hearing a man's scary voice.
Do I have to ride that thing again?
Are you forced to put your body in a bag, and then thrown out with your body rattling and unable to see around in the middle of nowhere?

Scary. Scary. Scary.

I found myself trembling.
Farne-sama won't put Riese in a bag, will he?
I got scared and looked at Farne-sama and he patted me on the head like a good girl.

"It's not afraid outside. You'll be fine."

Farne-sama seems to have misunderstood that I am afraid of the outside, although he plays nice with me.
No, it's not. I am afraid to ride a horse.
Riese does not like to be in the bag. Because you don't know what's going on outside.
All I heard was a scary rattling sound and I didn't know what was going to happen.
Tears come to my eyes as I remember.

"Riese? "

"Aaーaaーaaaー."
I'm scared of horse-drawn carriages. I hate horse-drawn carriages.
"I was wondering if it was too much to ask you to come outside. "
Farne-sama asks, and I shake my head. What I am afraid of is the carriage.
I don't want to be in the bag. They put you in a bag and tie the bag so that you can't see the outside.
When I heard the voice saying, " We're here," I was thrown out of the bag, and it hurt.

"……Perhaps it is the carriage? "

I nodded my head and hugged Farne-sama, who smiled gently and patted me on the back.

"There is nothing to be afraid of. I'm with you.
You will be with me the whole time and I'll carry you and ride with you, Riese."

Carry me? Carry me? All the time?
Even in the bag?

"Can you hang in there? "

I nodded my head.
I'm not afraid if Farne-sama is with me in the bag.
As long as Farne-sama hugs me, I'll be fine.
I smiled happily, and Farne-sama smiled too.

"You can just look at the carriages today.
Let's work a little harder."

Farne-sama told me and I nodded.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Farne-sama is with me.
When we reach the front of the carriage.
There was a horse with gentle eyes.
It's a white horse with golden hair.

"This is Patricia, who will be traveling with us this time."

Farne-sama says and points to the horse from afar.
A cute white horse. It's really big. The legs are extremely thick.
It's amazing. It's amazing. The horse from the picture book is right in front of me.
Come to think of it, the last time I was taken in a carriage, I couldn't see the horse because it was packed in a bag.
It's big. It's big.

"Aaーaaーaaaー."

When I said to Farne-sama, he smiled and asked, "Can you come to its side? ", so I nodded my head.

I am afraid of horse-drawn carriages, but I am not afraid of horses.
I had Farne-sama take me closer, and Patricia rubbed against me happily.

I'm so happy, I nudge her too.
She is a very sweet girl.
I can tell.
Because the surrounding light is happily dancing around the horse.
The strange light I see.
They're always happily flying around the animals.
I feel like the light tells me everything I need to know.
They said, "This girl is a good girl".
So I am sure she is a good girl.
Nice to meet you, Patricia.
I muttered in my mind and Patricia happily replied with a neigh.
