The Secret Garden
秘密の庭

~

Ray symbolizes a book,
Emma symbolizes a boot,
Norman symbolizes a white chess piece,
so you symbolize a butterfly.

I looked around in confusion.
Where was Ray...?
And Yuugo?

There were flowers... buildings.
I looked to my side to see Emma.

My eyes went wide and I shook her.
"Emma!"
I exclaimed. She was still asleep, er, unconscious.

She woke up and looked around in confusion.
"Y/n? Where are we?"
she asked.

"I don't know... I only remember reaching out to you and Ray, then everything went black,"
I told her.

She nodded.
"That's all I remember as well,"
she muttered.

I sighed and sat up, helping her up as well.
"We need to stay calm,"
I muttered.

"Let's try to remember,"
She smiled.

I nodded, thinking.
What happened before?
Were we captured?
By what? Who?

There's no demons.
Where's Ray and Yuugo?
Are they okay?

Emma and I continued to walk.
A huge sign was up.
" Welcome"

And so, we continued walking.
Emma held my hand in case something happened, we would not be separated.

We looked around, I looked inside a house.
This place was definitely colorful, like a fairytale.

A village... Where humans live? Why here though?
It's too quiet.

We continued to walk until we saw something in the distance.
"A mansion?"
Emma suggested.

"A village field. A forest. A mansion. But this is in the demon world, right?"
I muttered.

And the wind... it's warm like spring. But it's supposed to be winter.
Everything is different from yesterday...

"Emma... we're not hurt,"
I then said.

She nodded, her eyes widening in realization.
I don't get it. What's going on?
It's only been one day?
What if many days have passed and we're really far away?

Either way, we need to find Ray and Yuugo.

Then, I saw something from the corner of my eye.
Emma saw it too and she started running after.
I followed her.

A human?
A kid?

"Wait!"
I yelled.
"Please! Come back!"
Emma continued.

We soon had to stop.
Where did they go?
Emma then looked at her hand.

"USE
YoUR
PEN"

"That's right,"
Emma muttered, and took out the pen.

And it showed...
AO8-63

I looked at some signs.

"RULES
1. MUSIC
2. MONSTERS
3. SURVIVE"

Then, loud music blared. Emma and I covered our ears.
"The monsters are coming. So you should go and hide now,"
the person. The one we were looking for, said.
