When I opened my eyes, I found myself standing alone in a snow-covered forest at night.
It didn't seem like I had been forced out of Aya-chan's mind, but the place I was in was nothing like the urban landscape I had just been in.
I glanced up at the sky—it was overcast, with no moon or stars visible.
…Did I enter the Ice Princess's mind?
Just as that thought crossed my mind, a gust of wind blew through.
"C-cold!"
I realized belatedly that it was obviously freezing—there was snow on the ground.
I hurriedly wrapped myself in Silveit, using Elemental Change: Fire to warm my body. At the same time, I extended Silveit to my eyes to activate my night vision magic.
The forest around me instantly brightened.
"…What do I do now?"
I glanced at my chest, noticing a faint thread extending from it.
This thread connected me to the person I had resonated with.
