Flashback*

"The Rose Garden has its own will. It will only show itself to who it wants to... You wouldn't be able to see it so easily."

Flashback ends*

(A Rose Garden that had its own will...)
(I have no idea what I should do to make it appear in front of me...)
(The only thing I can try now is to check every room one by one.)

"This room..."
Walking in the quiet hallway, I stopped in front of a room that catches my eyes.
(What is this room?)
I opened the door.

(So many books...)
I'm overwhelmed to see every bookshelf in the room filled with books.
Looking around the room, I feel someone's presence.

"Rupert...?"

I slowly close in on the familiar back shot.
(Such a gentle expression...)
Taking a peep at his profile through a bookshelf, I find him looking so happy.
(I'd be better not to disturb him...)

Thinking that, I decided to look around the library hiding my presence.

"How rude."
"Huh?"
"How dare you leave me without saying anything? It's rude."
"Eeeek!"
I turn around to face Rupert right behind me.

"I-I'm so sorry. You were reading a book so happily and so I didn't want to disturb you."
"You are so kind, Mina."
He pulls me by the hand and pushes me against a nearby desk.

"Wh-What are you doing?!"
