"Unknown ceiling. One of the words I like to always say one days " said Mitsuha when she opened her eyes. "Where is this place? Is this a cabin? Why does the furniture all look shabby? " she added . "I'm Mitsuha Yamano, 18 years old Japanese. I'll graduate from high school soon. Looks like I'm still alive" she thought thoughtfully.

Kreik ~~~~ the sound of the door opening and Mitsuha turned around. A girl was seen opening the door of the room where Mitsuha was. Children of foreigners ? She's look like around 8 years old . She has hair blonde and beautiful eyes . "This girl is really cute" Mitsuha thought with a smile.

" #+&+@! . #&$-@$+@: " the little girl asked Mitsuha . "What language does she use?" Mitsuha thought long because she didn't know what to say. Kruggg ~~~ the sound of Mitsuha's stomach. SHe does not know how long he has been unconscious. "How to communicate with this girl?" Mitsuha tried to use body language to communicate . "I'm hungry. Can you get me food and drinks?" Said Mitsuha while using sign language.

The girl smiled as if she understood what Mitsuha wanted. He immediately got up and ran out of the room leaving Mitsuha. "Does she understand what I want? '' . Soon the girl came back to the room where Mitsuha was. This time she came with her mother. Just as Mitsuha wanted her mother to bring water and food. "So this girl understands what I'm saying "said Mitsuha.

After Mitsuha ate, the girl's mother packed up and used plates. " @ # & $ @ & # _ @ & @" said her mother but Mitsuha didn't understand what was being said. "Maybe he told me to rest until I recover. Wait a minute. They saved me, right? But .... how can I get to this place" thought Mitsuha. "If I'm not mistaken, I'm actually in a tourist hill area to calm my mind"

Let's go back to the past. Mitsuha is currently in a tourist area. "Is this really a good place for a date?" "That's right. if you take the right action she will surely fall in love with you ". Mitsuha just sighed hearing the conversation of the person passing behind her. "This place is really good for a date. Beautiful scenery with the orange sea with the twilight sun" whispered Mitsuha in her heart. "But there is no way anyone will be attracted to me. With a height of only 512 centimeters I am often mistaken as a primary school student". SHe was also reminded of his late brother's message, "Mitsuha, even though you are small, you still have many advantages. So don't ever complain about your shortcomings now. "One day you will definitely be proud of your body "said her brother." What are you talking about "replied Mitsuha with a smile.

Mitsuha's memory of her family is still vivid. "You left Mitsuha alone. Dad, Mom, Brother ... how are you there? . May you all always keep an eye on Mitsuha from there " Yes half a year ago his family had left Mitsuha. The three were involved in an accident on the way to work. After the death of his family, many relatives from his father's side came to want to take Mitsuha as an adopted child. Even though while he was still alive, no one came to visit. Mitsuha knew that they had a hidden desire and refused their request. "I would rather live alone than be an adopted child and hand over my father's legacy. " The first week Mitsuha studied. She always sat pensively in class. During the exam she did not focus because too many problems were going on. "Mitsuha, meet me at the office before going back from school. I have something to discuss". "All right, sir."

Ding ~ Dong ~ The end of the school session for the day. Tok tok .... "Please come in. And please sit down Mitsuha. I see you are less focused with the lessons lately. I understand your situation now. But if this is the case, your chances of repeat your grade are high". "I'm sorry teacher. But the situation now is a bit complicated for me.But , I promise this time I will try to return the focus to study" "That's what I want to hear. You can go back now. Oh yes. I got permission from the principal to give you leave to take care of family matters. So you can study at home but during exams you must come to school okay? "

"And here is the result. I'm here to calm my mind so there's no problem, right? If possible, I want to come here with my brother. Indeed we are both indeed close and have the same hobbies. What do I want to do next? Should I retake the exam? Or start working? The house debt that has to be paid for another year has also been paid off, thanks to insurance. What is important to live now is money. So I just have to work. But with a high school level education the salary may be just enough to eat. Harhhh ~~ it's hard "said Mitsuha while shaking her head.

"Hey little miss. What are you doing here? Skipping school? If that's the case, let's go with us to have fun" suddenly a teenager greeted him. Mitsuha made a disgusted face "It's okay. I'm having fun now". The other two teenage friends just laughed when they saw their friend being rejected by the little girl. He was unhappy and start pulled Mitsuha hand "Don't make many excuses and follow us" he said while pulling Mitsuha's hand away. Mitsuha felt her hand a little sore and acted to bite the teenager's hand. Shocked by Mitsuha's actions he immediately released his grip. Arh ... Mitsuha was thrown to the side of the hill and slipped. "Am I really going to die this time. I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" Mitsuha whispered. As Mitsuha fell, her hand felt grabbing something. Gyaaa ~~~~~ "What's that scream? It's not my scream right? . I hope nothing bad happens" .

And now we come back to the present. "When I opened my eyes I was in the middle of the forest. Wait Wait Wait! Didn't I fall from the top of the hill into the gorge? what's really surprised me is that I was not injured in the slightest despite falling from a high place. Then I continued to walk non -stop for two days to get out of the forest area. Impossible!! impossible!! impossible .. But I have three conclusions with what is happening now. 1.I may have died and this place is heaven. 2. Chances are I'm dreaming in the hospital. 3. Maybe I was involved with paranormal phenomena and was teleported to the other world . Hopefully number three is the most accurate conclusion.But It's impossible for that to happen. Maybe I'm very good at reading fantasy novels and here's the result " Mitsuha whispered.

The little girl stared into Mitsuha's eyes. sHe talk while point to herself "Cholete ~ Cholete". "Ohh. Cholete .. My name is .. err .. Mit su ha" she replied. "Mit chu ha ?" "Yes, that's right Mitsuha " she said with a smile. The happy Cholete hugged Mitsuha. "Hurgghhhh I surrender !. Cholete's hug was so strong" Mitsuha whispered as there was no energy to return her hug. " @ # & $ @ & # $ & @ @ # & $ @ + @ & $ @ # & $ @ & @" "I still don't understand what Cholete is saying. Maybe she's explaining about her parents safe me". Cholete even used body language to explain what was happening. "Your mother who found me lying in the woods And took me back. Then she took care of me for these three days." Only then did Mitsuha understand what Cholete wanted to convey her. Mitsuha hugged Cholete and thanked her. As Cholete returned the hug Mitsuha felt hard to breathe. "What power do you have" Mitsuha said with a laugh.

"Cholete ~ May I know where the toilet is?" Mitsuha asked while using sign language. Cholete points outwards. When she got outside he was stunned to see the situation in the area. The house is made of wood, no electricity and even no water. What was even more surprising was the toilet she went to was just a hole. "Is this a traditional toilet?" SHe immediately ran to get Cholete's mother. Mitsuha tries to ask where she is now using sign language. Unfortunately communication between them failed. A few days later Cholete invites Mitsuha to look for vegetables in the forest. Perhaps Cholete was taught to look for food from a young age. They both went through a path that looked familiar to Mitsuha "So this is where I was a few days ago. If I can remember this roads around here maybe I can go back to Japan again." Mitsuha whispered. Cholete teaches Mitsuha to look for forest vegetables. While having fun picking vegetables, Cholete suddenly patted Mitsuha's back .. "Kurereo guroito" she said with a pale face . "Kurereo guroito!!?" that means something dangerous is approaching. They heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Soon several wolf -like monster were seen looking at them with hungry eyes . Mitsuha immediately picked up Cholete And told her to climb the tree while she would attract the monster's attention. I am already indebted to Cholete and her family. I have to do something " Mitsuha ran in the opposite direction.

"Even if I die at least Cholete is still alive. Maybe this is a way to repay their services" . He kept running and running but due to fatigue Mitsuha fell. SHe saw the wolf running closer to him. "I'm sorry mom and dad. After this maybe we will meet again. We will be together forever" said Mitsuha while crying. Mitsuha closed her eyes as if giving her life to the wolf . "Mitsuha remembers this well. No matter how difficult your life is in the future, never give up." Mitsuha remembered her brother's advice. "I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Brother help me !!!! " Mitsuha shouted at the same time the wolf pounced on her. Swossshhhhhh ~~ Mitsuha opened her eyes. "Eh ?? Isn't this my brother's room? Does that mean I'm in Japan? What's going on? Cholete I hope you're alright . Is what happened over the last few days just a dream? " Mitsuha sat on her brother's bed pensively
