When she stepped into it, the magic circle glowed blue, engulfing us from the burning room. Instantly, we already were at outside as the glow disappearing. I put Natasha down as my back faced the burning building. She looked terrified of the fires as her blue eyes tearing down. I wrapped my arms around her, trying to calm her. Her small face buried on my chest as I patted her head to soothe her.

Beside us, Elysia dropped to her knees while putting Eden down weakly. She quietly cried her heart out and I didn't blame her for that.

After all, I did the same as her and it still hurt to remember about it...

My hand wiped Natasha's tear as she calming down while clutching my clothes.

According to the autopsy that detective told me, Elysia seemed to accept her fate and died in willingness. When I heard that, my heart clenched in guilty. It kept me all night for a few days, dreaming about what should happened if the fire accident didn't happen. I even dreamt about them living together in a small village.

The guilt made me worried that the fire still happened even when there's a change. I was relieved that I found them first. At least, they can make more memories together this time and live the life they ever wanted.

Elysia stood up and moved Eden who's still in a deep sleep to the nearest tree. Natasha followed her, leaving me behind. I could see them talking with each other while Eden leaned on the tree with closed eyes.

Haa... They made me jealous... I wonder if Trix and I could be like that in the future...

While still envying their relationship, my feet suddenly stumbled over the slippery grass. Luckily, a fair hand caught me. As I leaned, a pair of green eyes looked down on me.

Elysia's breath was warming my ears as she spoke, "geez. I told you that you're not okay, why are you still stubborn?"

"Trix told me that too when we did the chores this morning."

"DUH! Because you're not well! Although, I didn't want to say this, but, you're bad at lying, Viona."

What's that supposed to be meant?

"See? I bet you're thinking that you didn't know what I meant."

I covered my gasped mouth, "wow. How do you know?"

"Haa... Forget it, I wonder how Trix could handle your obliviousness until now."

"Don't ask me. We're not the same person," I awkwardly laughed it off as my hand brushed hairs, "we're even in the middle of fight when this happened."

She chuckled, "Oh? Was it because you made her carrying your heavy body to Nanny?"

"... I don't know. It was happened so suddenly that it scares me to ask her. Too many reasons in my mind that could upset her."

My gazes went to Natasha who sat beside Eden, playing with herself. She seemed enjoying the daydream she always does. Relieved that she's safe, I checked the surrounding with my area scan skill. While almost everyone was outside, there's still two dots inside the building. They're located at Matron's favourite room, the Main Hall.

Strange. I need to investigate this before the gate closed completely. On an unrelated note, is Trix and Matron safe? I hope they already with others at outside...

With strengthening my heart, I looked at the green eyes as I asked my request.

"Elysia. I have to go now, so..." My finger pointed at the opposite direction from the orphanage. "Follow the direction I gave you until you can see a tree that near hospital. Everyone already gathered there, you can bring Natasha and Eden-"
