In the bustling streets, Rose and Cecilia were sitting at a bench by the sidewalk while vehicles pulled by cows, horses, ground lizards and beefaloes steadily moved on the main road. They had led Matthew away from them, the reason being they had something to talk about. “Phew, good thing Matt is really easy to persuade.” Rose said after sitting. “You knew?” Cecilia was right beside Rose. “Yeah, I mean, we were classmates after all. Back in our world, I mean.” “Oh so you’ve known him for a while.” “Yeah, I’ve known him for years now.” Rose sounded a bit sad. “... What is he like?” Cecilia suddenly asked. Rose was quiet for a second. She looked at the sky while she explained. “He is… Very childish, he plays around a lot, lazy in class, sleeps wh

The scene swept past the window in a slight blur where Matthew looked out from as the carriage rattled on the stone brick road. In front of and facing him, was Rose who was also staring out the glassless window with her hand supporting her chin and beside her was Yuki who was sleeping quietly, tired from the fight with Matthew. On the opposite end of the seat on Matthew’s side, was Cecilia who stared nervously at the carriage floor, fidgeting and stealing glances at the others. Then there was one more, who sat in between Matthew and Cecilia, a maid. She had bright red hair and slightly tanned skin. Her black and white maid outfit fitted perfectly on her body. Her face was that of a soft and kind person as per the first time the team encountered her at the Hunter Station. ….. Matthew and Yuki arrived a little late to the station where Rose and Cecilia were already waiting outside. Matthew waved his hand high

Matthew and the team were now temporarily staying at the mansion belonging to the Noble House of Crystal. Though they wanted to refuse the offer, they finally agreed when they were being pressed by the Noble couple. However, their timing of stay was not so good. In a meeting room within the mansion of the Southern Region Noble, the House of Stone, a meeting was held between the Nobles of all regions with the exception of the Capital of course. Out of all the Nobles that were invited, only three came to the meeting so far, excluding the owner of the mansion. Gustav was one of the three that were waiting. The meeting room only had a large round table with ten seats around it. There was nothing else other than the table and chairs aside from the giant portrait of Lord Stone which was placed behind an especially fancier chair than the others. Gustav was sitting on the third chair to the left of the fancy chair. While the other two currently pres

Meanwhile the girls were having fun on their shopping trip, Matthew had a little fun of his own. Matthew went out early that morning to have a stroll around the city. He only wore normal casual clothes with blue black being the main colour. The morning street was not yet crowded with people. In fact, the stalls were just about to open. The sun was only slightly above the hills. The birds perched on the buildings chirped harmonically. Clatters of cooking utensils from the kitchens of people making breakfast. Random "good morning" from the people Matthew came across. "This is peaceful." Matthew took a deep breath of fresh morning air. "Mmm~ people said that morning is when the air is freshest." Matthew kept walking down the reddish granite road. He was not really thinking of anything. Just enjoying the view. He then stopped and sat on a bench by the street. He

Matthew just had a long and quite fascinating day today. Many more questions piled up in his head where he had not yet solved many others. “What was that dream? Vision? Memory? Who was that girl? Familiar? A coincidence?” All of it seemed to be related but how, and why? What did have to do with Matthew? “Remember who you are…” Remember what? What did he have to remember? How can he remember? Who or what was that shadow? So many questions jumbled up in Matthew’s mind that it confuses him. His head was still slightly aching as he walked back to the mansion. “Maybe I should tell the others?” Matthew asked himself which he also denied himself. “No, this is just about me. No need to tell anyone else. But still, thinking about it makes me exhausted.” Matthew stretched his arms up high as he yawned. After a few more minutes of walking, Matthew fin
