Rose led Noel to a river that flowed not far away from the village. This was the source of water that provided life to the village.

However, what Rose wanted to show Noel wasn't the river but a tree next to the river.

The tree seemed to be the same as the ones around it, but its location was a bit unique. There were more than ten meters to the nearest trees as if the tree was being separated from the rest of the colony.

"This should be the place." Rose looked at the tree and touched the trunk, reminiscing the memory between her and her father.

"Father! Look, I managed to climb it!" Rose puffed her chest proudly as she was standing on top of a branch. She was only six years old at this time, but she somehow managed to climb this tree with that tiny body of hers.

"Rose. Please climb down. It's not safe!" A middle-aged man shouted gently, trying to coax her so that she would safely climb down.

But the small Rose was still cheeky as she proudly declared, "I won't go down. You can also climb the tree and catch me. I'm going to prevent dad from—ooowh?!"

When she was making a declaration, she puffed her chest, causing her balance to shift. She ended up slipping and falling to the ground.

Her father's heart skipped a beat. If he had been a normal father, he would have missed Rose because there was still some distance between them.

Rose could only look at the sky as her back would be the one hitting the ground first.

But to her surprise, she landed on her father's hands as the latter caught him gently, making her feel like she fell on top of a pillow.

"Huh?" Rose's body froze and her expression was terrified. She wanted to say something, but she panicked and her mouth refused to open.

In the end, she could only cry. "Waaa…"

Her father tried his best to make a comforting smile while gently holding her in his hands. "Are you alright, my sweetheart?"
