I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke

Side Story 2 Episode 2

* * *

How much time had passed since they lived together like that?

One day when they had grown accustomed to each other, ‘Sister’ left Rabbit with Other Woman and departed with Family Members.

Sister’s Mother remained in the Habitat, but Sister didn’t return even the next day.

Where did Sister go? When on earth is she coming back? Don’t tell me she got lost?

Me, brave Rabbit. I can’t leave Sister alone Outside like this.

Sister must be waiting for me somewhere. I should go find Sister myself.

Rabbit waited for the night when the moon was brightest.

And for the first time since coming to Sister’s Habitat, she went Outside alone.

Hop hop.

Sister, wait! I’m coming to find you!

* * *

After leaving Sister’s Habitat, Rabbit sniffed around, smelling the air.

I need to find Sister’s scent.

But perhaps because Sister had left long ago, there was no trace of Sister’s scent in the air.

This is bad. I came Outside trusting my nose, which is the best at smelling in the group.

As the flustered Rabbit’s nose twitched, a familiar scent of nature wafted from very far away. It was a nostalgic fragrance.

Living with Sister, she had learned that not all Humans were bad. She also realized that she couldn’t return to the group alone.

So she thought of Sister as her new Family, and buried Rabbit Family in her heart. She only wished for them to live long and healthy lives while avoiding bad Humans.

But smelling the scent of nature made her heart flutter. She had to go find Sister, but Family Members buried deep in her heart came to mind.

Is Younger Sibling doing well? What about Other Rabbits?

The scent of nature she smelled after so long was too tempting.

Maybe she could meet Rabbit Family?

Right, just for a moment. Just for a very brief moment, let me stop by that place and then go find Sister.

Rabbit was drawn by that tempting fragrance and entered the Deep Forest.

* * *

Why? Why?

Rabbit, who looked at her reflection in the Stream, froze in shock.

Her eyes, which had been like pink Flowers, had changed to Silver like snowflakes fallen on a winter day.

And her body had grown larger too.

Her brave and cute self had transformed into a very scary and big Rabbit.

Rabbit, who had entered the Forest while trying to find Sister, ate Multi-colored Sparkling Flowers because she was hungry. After eating those Flowers, she fell into a deep sleep.

I don’t know how long I slept.

When I had fallen asleep, the outside air was cold so I was curled up, but when I woke up it was too hot.

Sniffing around to smell, it was clear that the season had changed.

I had slept long enough for the season to change, yet my body was overflowing with energy.

I tried to hop around as usual, but heavy thumping sounds were heard. Every time I jumped, dust clouds rose from the Dirt Ground.

Strange. This had never happened before.

That’s when it happened.

‘A Snake!’

A Snake burst out from between the Green Bushes.

The Rabbit was startled and froze in place. But when the Snake saw me, it turned direction and ran away.

Strange. I was always being chased by snakes, but it seemed like it was afraid of me.

But was that really a snake? The Snake looked as small as an earthworm.

Looking around, everything seemed smaller and lower than usual.

Strange. Strange.

The Rabbit sniffed around to find the smell of water, and only after seeing my reflection at the Stream did I realize my transformation.

I should have rather not looked.

I had changed strangely.

What should I do? Now it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to meet the Rabbit Family or Sister either.

Everyone would be scared of my appearance being this big, right? Where should I go now?

Tears continuously dropped from the Rabbit’s eyes without pause.

* * *

The Rabbit chewed and ate a Snake in the Hot Desert while narrowing its eyes.

Where should I go to sleep today?

After my body grew larger, I lived in hiding for a while. I didn’t want to meet anyone.

However, the Forest animals kept picking fights with me.

I am a brave Rabbit. But there was no reason to fight unnecessary battles.

I was running away avoiding a Gorilla throwing fruit, when the Gorilla chased closely behind and I lightly pushed with my front paw. I really just pushed lightly, but the Gorilla bounced far back and couldn’t get up.

‘Ah, I’m too strong to live in this Forest.’

The Rabbit decided to leave far away with a bitter heart.

And the place I settled was This Hot Place.

The animals living here were very large and scary. There were many strange appearances I’d never seen before.

However, there was something in common between myself and them. They too had snowflake-like eye colors.

I wasn’t the only one with different eyes. Though their appearances were different, that one thing alone made me not lonely.

The Rabbit finished eating the Snake and rubbed its front paws on the Sand. Water was precious here so I couldn’t wash well.

Then, a familiar smell came. Where had I smelled this before?

Sniff sniff.

The Rabbit was drawn by the scent and bounded toward that place with heavy steps.

A familiar, warm fragrance. A Human Girl smaller than my body was looking at me and trembling with fear.

‘Could it be, Sister?’

The rabbit approached the human girl with joy and sniffed with its nose.

“I don’t taste good.”

Its ears perked up automatically as if responding to Sister’s voice.

Sister’s pleasant scent. Sister’s gentle voice.

It’s Sister! Sister! To meet Sister again! Sister, I missed you so much!

But suddenly something transparent appeared in front of Sister. The rabbit tilted its head and approached Sister a little closer.

“I said I don’t taste good.”

When it reached out wanting to get closer to Sister, it bumped into the transparent barrier with a thud.

Its eyes met Sister’s frightened green eyes. Only then did it realize.

Sister doesn’t recognize me.

“I don’t taste good. If you eat me, you’ll have bad luck too. So go away.”

Fear could be heard in Sister’s voice.

The rabbit stepped back a few paces from Sister with a sad expression.

Sister, I’m sorry. For changing like this. Sorry for making you scared.

The rabbit moved away from Sister and watched quietly.

Although Sister didn’t recognize it, this was a dangerous place. It couldn’t leave Sister alone here.

I’m a brave rabbit. I promised to protect Sister.

I have to take Sister to the human settlement.

Meanwhile, the sun gradually set and dim moonlight descended.

The rabbit didn’t take its eyes off Sister during all this time. Because it had to protect Sister until they reached a safe place.

But then Sister suddenly started reading a book.

Its body flinched and trembled.

Sister is reading a book to me! Does Sister recognize me too?

It stared at Sister with hopeful eyes, but Sister was still afraid of it.

Its heart stung and ached, but it was okay.

Because when Sister reads a book, sleepiness comes naturally.

Since its body had grown, it had never slept properly. Especially in this place, if it let its guard down even for a moment it would be dangerous, so it could only sleep a little while staying tense.

If Sister reads a book, I’ll sleep well, right? But what about Sister alone while I’m sleeping? What if dangerous things come?

The desire for Sister to read a book and the wish for Sister’s safety battled within it.

While the rabbit was pondering, Sister began reading the book. Its eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

As expected, I’m getting sleepy because Sister is reading to me. Ah, Sister’s voice is so wonderful.
