"He caught me again! Why?! So frustrating!" Emma shouted, again with her tantrums. She started pounding on the ground and swing her feet repeatedly.

"Someone's sleeping, Emma." Ray said and looked at (Y/n) beside her, leaning on Ray's shoulder, "Okay~"

"Question, what does Norman have that you don't? "

"Um.. The ability to plan ahead? Calmness? Overwhelming intelligence? "

"Strategy, " Ray said and fix his posture. He removed the book from his thigh and replaced it with your head.

"If it's about simple physical ability, you have the upper hand. But Norman is strong here, " Ray said and pointed his head, "...Like no other. You're playing tag. It's a game where you compete with strategy. "

"A simple game of tag? "

"It's like chess, but using your entire body. Isn't that right, Norman? "

"Yeah, but you're a better tactician than me, Ray. "

"You overestimate me. "

"Reading the enemy's moves, huh?"

"But we're not even close when it comes to Mom. "

"That's true, we've never beaten her at chess. "

(Y/n), who's already awake and just pretending to be asleep, started moving her eyes and open it slowly when they stopped talking. She only wanted the three of them to have a nice chat and doesn't want to interrupt them.

Ray noticed it and was about to look down when Don suddenly called Norman, "I want a rematch! Next game, everyone will be 'It' except you! "

"Whoa!"
"That's unfair!"
"He's losing his cool again."

After Don challenge Norman, most of them started to find Norman at the forest and near the house while (Y/n) walks calmly at the back forest, where a fence is located.

(Y/n) slowly take her step, crossing the fence and walking further, you saw a part near the fence with so many bushes, enough for you to not be seen.

You put your things down beside you. After a while, you heard someone's steps and stopped at the fence.

'It's Norman.. '

You didn't make a noise and watched him stared at the forest beyond the fence. After a while, you noticed Emma approaching Norman slowly, touching his shoulder.

"You caught me."

"You can't go near there, no matter what. "

"Yeah, Mama is always telling us that. "

"The gate and the fence deep in the forest are dangerous. "
