Back To the Beginning
The Phoenix Invitation

Today is my farewell day with Milin for a while, he looks very sad about it. In accordance with the agreement, I will follow Arthur and Noland to help them find the royal treasure. In the search we had to walk several kilometers to reach the southern area according to Grandma Milin's advice.

To be honest, I didn't know anything that happened to my body when I fainted, I had no memory of that moment. The memories I remember were the moments before I fainted when my body was hot and my head was dizzy and when I woke up, that was all.

For being one of those reasons, I became very involved and took an important role in this quest. It makes me a little anxious, I don't want to make them do anything in vain.

It rained in the afternoon, but again I lost consciousness and led them to a strange restaurant. Without a hint of help, you can only eat food while waiting for the rain to subside. Today's search bears the fruit of an empty Zero! I was worried because I wasn't sure of myself. But they still seem to keep trying only with minimal fists and obscurity for the truth.

Tonight we were planning to find an inn to rest in, but in the midst of being dismissed by a dark-clothed freak who called us from behind in this deserted road condition, we would be hard-pressed to ask for help under these conditions. I'm so scared. Was this our bad experience? We had just started the quest for royal treasures, I became very anxious. Getting zero results for today, I don't want them to get hit by another disaster.

That's how I thought at first, but strangely after having some incomprehensible conversation with our interlocutor's attitude got even stranger and more urgent to us After the Witch of the Liar of the Fate mentioned the name 'Mr.Meinhard' our interlocutor's attitude changed drastically, they acted familiar instantly like they were in magic. He deserves to be called a witch!

A few more conversations but with a familiar atmosphere, we were invited by the owner of the company to his house. 'Is this not suspicious?' my thinking. Yet it seemed to Noland and the Wicked Liar Witch, those were the words they had been waiting for. They accepted the offer with great pleasure and a big smile. By force, I must trust these people and come with them. Where are we going? It's already night.

We return to the streets usually crowded with people passing by accompanied by street lights. It took him a few minutes to get to his intended destination, he had also said that his house was close from here.

He said it was home, but hey! What house is this big?! Rather than a house, it looks more like a palace to me! The building is very spacious and tall and with a garden surrounding it! Is everyone's house like this now?!

"Lives... The mansion!" said Kak Noland stunned by the building in front of him.

"You know enough, too... There can be no doubt" praised the owner of the building.

"Hehe no, I just know it from people's stories... It's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes" said Brother Noland.

Brother Noland seems very happy because he can see this luxurious building which is said to be home. While the Witch of the Liar of Death only existed, was he to the point of being speechless after challenging that person? She must be very embarrassed.

Deciding to enter, we entered the mansion by looking right-left like one who was looking at a place filled with shiny gems. Inside this massion also turned out to be inhabited by many others.

"This is our servants," explained the mansion owner confidently. "Okay, everybody.greet our special guest today" he said.

The first time I was given a salute, I felt very strange and became nervous about it.

Our journey still did not stop, we had to walk a few more steps on this clean and shiny white floor and climb some stairs.

We arrived at the second floor of this mansion, and the conditions were still very spacious. We were led to a table that contained a table that seemed very luxurious and expensive. Can you really sit on it? I won't be scolded.

Worried because of that, when they all sat down and took a comfortable position for them, I still stood still while feeling depressed by the conditions around this.

"What's up, son? Come sit down, consider it your own home. You are also one of our special guests" said the owner of the mansion ordering me to take my place on the sofa in front of me.

"Come, Chloe. Here sit down" said Brother Noland offering me about beside him.

With that in mind, I decided to occupy this sofa. Beyond my expectations this sofa is very soft and very comfortable to sit on. I'm willing to spend my decades on this couch. But with it also makes this worsen the condition.

Brother Noland beside me looks strong in the face of conditions like this, he is still talking casually with the owner of this mansion. I was curious about the Witch of the Liar, he had already dared to challenge a person like this? he must have been embarrassed and scared to death.

Curious about his response to what was happening now I turned my gaze to the side, looking at the spot where he was sitting.

Surprised, I froze for a moment after seeing her. The Witch of the Liar of Death, he sat on one sofa with us taking a little distance and his current condition was a slumber?!?! He seemed to be asleep on that side by draping his hand in front of his chest and putting his body on the back of the sofa.

He fell asleep like this luxurious place was his everyday place. She asleep? She's actually sleeping now?!?! with this much pressure?!

"She fell asleep right there hahah!" the laughter of the mansion owner.

"I'm sorry for us, he seems to have lost a lot because of our previous trip" Kak Noland apologized.

"It's okay, I get it. Mr. Meinhard's son is very attractive."

"... Everyone, you guys please leave a moment from here," continued the owner of the massion.

"Master? Are you sure?" ask one of the people standing nearby.

"It's okay, leave us here" he confirmed.

"All right, we're gonna leave."

Everyone standing around us had started walking out leaving us with the owner of the mansion.

Surprised, we saw people leaving us one by one.

"I don't want to make you depressed because of that" explained the owner of the mansion.

"... Thank you, Mr.Edwiyn," said Kak Noland.

"No problem."

It looks a little scary, but he seems to be a really nice guy. I regret my judgment too soon.

"By the way, you, Noland, and Arthur are Mr. Meinhard's contract partners, and I acknowledge that. So, if you may know, who is that child?"

Suddenly the owner of the mason gave us a question, from the direction of his eyes and showed me his hand, I could tell that the 'child' he meant was me.

Knowing that I was the topic of conversation, my fear and nervousness resurfaced.

How'this? Should we lie again about my identity?
