When I arrived at Forem Castle, Philip and Daniel were already there.

To mark the day of Thanksgiving, we gathered for a snack party.

Well, after all, it was just an excuse to eat as many snacks as possible.

I brought the marine cookies that I gave to Cassis whenever he took medicine.

"You're late. Why are you here only now?"

"Huh? What about Cassis?"

Philip and Daniel greeted me as soon as they saw me.

Phillip, of course, had his eyes on the marine cookies in my hand. At least Daniel was looking for Cassis.

I replied, sitting next to them.

"He's not feeling well, so he's taking a rest."

"He's been having a lot of problems lately. Maybe it's because it's winter soon."

"If Cassis isn't a bear, why would he be troubled by it being winter?"

Philip and Daniel squabbled. I looked around and asked implicitly.

"Where is Elisha?"

"Oh, she went to get something."

"What?"

I tilted my head and Daniel responded.

"You know. The ancient document that Baron Forem bought before."

"Ahh."

"On closer inspection, it was real."

I guess it wasn't a crook this time.

I quickly lost interest and sipped the orange juice that the maid gave me. Then Philip muttered quietly.

"Why collect things that aren't edible?"

"Philip. Not everyone pays attention to food like you."

"Evelyn. What you eat is what's left of you."

"I can't stop you. Look! It's your favorite food!"

I unpacked the marine cookies with a big laugh. Then Philip shrieked with his eyes shining.

"Wow!"

It was a more intense reaction than when I came.

I left Elisha's share out of fear that Philip would eat it all.

Just in time, Elisha arrived in the room.

The book in her hand was probably the document that was bought this time. It looks like Baron Forem gave it to his daughter.

"Oh! You're here, Evelyn?"

As soon as she saw me, a smile bloomed on Elisha's face. She sat next to me.

"That's the one? Is that what you bought this time?"

"Yeah! Do you want to see it?"

"Yes, sounds good..."

I hesitated without receiving the book from Elisha.

I rubbed my eyes to see if I saw something weird, but nothing changed.

Oh my god! T-That's my diary!

As soon as I saw the book, my body started shaking, like I was stunned.

My lips trembled and my eyes shook like I had seen a ghost.

No way, why is that here?

I couldn't hide my astonishment when I saw the diary from my previous life that could never be here.
