We had left the Frontier Town and were walking through a prairie.

After changing back into my usual robes, I explained everything.

I explained that I was not really her friend. That I was the true Ashen Witch, Elaina. And the reason why she had been arrested.

“…Hmm? Wait a minute. What on earth do you mean?”

In response to me yammering on and explaining everything, Amnesia seemed to have difficulty processing the situation, as I had expected.

“Like I said, you’re not the Ashen Witch. The reason why you think you’re Elaina is because you picked up my diary by mistake.”

“…But I don’t remember that happening…”

“Read this.”

It would probably be faster to have her read it than for me to explain further.

I handed her the diary.

“……”

After she had turned a few pages as we walked, she whispered, “My name is…Amnesia… Huh. That seems to fit me better than Elaina…” She took out a pen.

With incredibly natural movements, she started writing while walking.

Her lovely penmanship looked like it was written by the exact same person who had penned the words in all the other entries.

At this point, she seemed to have finally realized she was Amnesia.

“But…I certainly did think it was awfully strange… It was written right there in the diary that I was a witch, even though I didn’t feel like I could use magic at all…”

“I’m sure.”

“And even though I didn’t think I was all that cute when I looked in a mirror, I spent an awful lot of time praising my own appearance…”

“Do you want to get knocked over the head?”

Are you looking for a fight? Is that what you’re doing?

“But why did you—umm, Ashen Witch, Elaina? Why did you help me? I’m grateful, but I’m afraid I don’t understand your motivations.”

“It’s written in your diary that your hometown is the Holy City, Esto, right?”

“Huh? Mm. Seems that way.”

“Well, I have an interest in that place. But since I can’t get in unless I’m with you—”

Amnesia clapped her hands sharply and nodded vigorously. “I see! So it was a scheme to use me to get into Esto, right?”

Yes, but wasn’t there another way to say that? It makes me seem like the bad guy.

“Is it all right if I accompany you on your journey?”

“Of course!” She broke into a smile. I had more or less realized it already, but she didn’t seem to be a bad person. “I was planning to ask you the same thing. Since it seems like I can’t get by without my diary—I was just thinking I’d like to have someone like you with me. That’s why when you told me you were my friend, I was glad. Oh, so this kind of person was my friend, I thought…though I guess that wasn’t really true……” She seemed just a bit sad.

“…… So what should I call you from now on?”

“Amnesia! And you?”

“Elaina.”

“Nice to meet you, Elaina.”

“Same to you, Amnesia.”

Our exchange was a little strange, and she and I laughed in mutual embarrassment. After that, as if nothing had happened, we lined up shoulder to shoulder with each other and took off walking.
