"From now on, your name will be Karin Uzumaki. You'll use your mother's surname."
Karin nodded timidly, but there was clearly some light in her eyes.
It was anticipation for her future life.
"Alright, let's go home. Also, my identity isn't what you imagine it to be. It's a little strange, so I'll explain it to you on the way back."
"We'll obey everything you say, my lady."
Early the next morning, the group of five could already see Konoha in the distance.
Ria and Karin were in very poor condition, so they had not traveled through the night and had rested for one night instead.
"I... still can't quite believe that Another Worlds exist, and that you're even from another world."
After she had been captured, she had been completely cut off from outside news. Every day, all she could do was pray that no one would get hurt, or she would be humiliated again.
So, she had always believed that Mito of this world had not died and had remained in Konoha all along.
But she had never expected that Lady Mito of this world had died long ago.
And the Lady Mito who had rescued her and her daughter was from Another World. She had specifically come to this world to save them after learning of their mother and daughter's circumstances.
This left Ria and her daughter so moved that they did not know how they could ever repay her.
"Whether I'm from another world or this one, we will always be members of the Uzumaki Clan. We are family."
"Since we're family, once I learned that you were suffering, of course I had to save you."
Mito then pointed ahead. "Look, that's Konoha. We'll soon arrive at your new home."
Ria looked at the village ahead
