Y/n's POV

The dinner table was slightly noisy. A few countryhumans were talking here and there. Few of them gossiping.

I was sitting between America and Australia. And oh boy.. Australia loves his animals.

He even brought them to dinner and gave them his food.

I can't really blame him since he IS the countryhuman of Australia.

Meanwhile, America was eating while looking at his phone.

I was curious of what he was looking at. From how his iris were moving, it seems that he was reading.

I slowly moved my head to the side slightly so I could so he was reading.

When I almost got a good look, Australia interrupted me.

"Hey Y/n! I want ya to meet my Boa, Ziggy." Australia said as he held out his hand that had a short-tailed Boa wrapped around his hand.

I stare at the snake, before looking at Australia with a 'So what' expression.

"What am I suppose to do with him?" I asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Try holding him." Australia smirked as he moved his hand closer to me. "I promise he doesn't bite." He added.

I looked at the Ziggy, before sighing. I nodded my head, gesturing Australia to go ahead.

His smirk widened slightly as he placed the Boa on my shoulder.

The snake started slithering from my shoulder, to my head, then back down to my shoulder. Ziggy's head started going down to my chest, going in my jacket.

I rolled my eyes, not feeling interested in doing anything with Ziggy as I kept eating. Australia was just watching while smiling happily.

Suddenly, as Ziggy was moving in my jacket, he shoved my jacket till it was showing the chest part of my shirt.

My eyes went wide as I saw my vision exposed. Out of insticts, I threw the fork I was holding, which hit the wall on the opposite side. I gently but quickly picked up Ziggy and covered the vision with my jacket.

The fork drew everybody's attention as they looked at me in shock

I looked at everybody, left and right, before placing Ziggy down on Australia's lap.

My other hand was still holding the jacket.

"Woah, our okay Y/n? You threw your fork at the wall." Australia pointed at the fork which was on the wall.

I started to sweat. "I-i u-um.." I stuttered, I couldn't put up the right words to say.

All of them were staring at me, waiting for me to explain.

I couldn't handle the states, so I sat up and ran to the exit of the mansion, which alarmed the others.

"Y/n! Wait!" America called out. I heard some of them running to me, so I quickly opened the door and ran outside.

The guards were also alarmed as they and the few countryhumans startted chasing me.

Luckily, I could run a lot more faster than them. A mortal wouldn't be able to keep up with my speed.

I guess it's because I'm the puppet of the Electro Archon.

I looked behind me to see them far away from me. I smirked as I went faster and faster, till I completely lost them.

I stopped running, to find myself in a forest.

I sigh, as I started exploring the forest. It was dark, the trees made it eerie. Though, I wasn't scared.

As I walked, I felt somebody following me. I turned around to see no one. I began to get suspicious. I turned forward and kept walking.

The feeling was still there, and never went away. I kept my guard up at all times.

What if one of the countryhumans caught up? That means I'll have to go back to them.. How I wished I never agreed to America.

I kept walking and walking, not looking behind me. The sound of leaves rustling and grass quietly crunching could be heard.

Suddenly, I heard a stick crack. I turned around, to see no one again. I became more suspicious.

"Who goes there? Show yourself!" I said, as I waited for someone to come out. I changed into a defensive stance, ready to fight back whoever it is.

I waited, but no one came out. I lowered my stance, and sigh.

As I was about to turn around and continue walking, but suddenly, something or someone pounced at me.































???'s POV

"How are you all doing?" A deep male voice asked as he took a sip of his osmanthus wine.

"Better than ever~! Being an Archon with no job is a life to be dying for~" A feminine voice answered. Despite being a male, he has the appearance of a woman.

"Being able to come to this tea party makes me wonderful! Thank you very much for inviting us here Mr. Zhongli!" A childish voice said with a joyful tone.

"You are very welcome Kusanali." The deep voiced male smiled, before looking at me.

"How about you, Ei?" He asked while raising an eyebrow.

"I'm.. Doing quite fine. Just.. Have a lot in mind." I answered as I took a bite out of my tricolor dango.

The male nodded his head in understanding. "I see. I will not question what is on your mind if you are uncomfortable." He said.

I just looked down at my dango while chewing it.

As the others were talking, I just kept silent as my mind was somewhere else.

I wonder.. How she's doing.. It's been a long time since I've seen her..

My eyes were locked on the dango, as I slightly squeezed the stick.

Y/n.. I hope you are still alive.. I don't want to loose you.. Like I did with Makoto.
