In front of Hana, she saw a lot of memories begin to appear in front of her, and as she was about to get closer, suddenly an unknown figure blocked her.
"You shouldn't go past here."
Hana goes to that figure and asks her why. But then, a strong storm came out of nowhere and almost hit them. But Hana used her ability and blocked it.
As the storm continued, Hana then could see the face of that person, and she was so shocked as she saw a kid. It's a little girl. What is it doing here? And what is she trying to tell Hana?
The storm ended and Hana then asked that girl "who are you and why are you here?" The girl then didn't answer that question, and instead she told Hana to watch herself as there will be more that coming. But they need to push forward.
Hana got it and she then followed the girl.
Beyond there, they could see a trail covering their path and even lead them to some place that seemed to be like a castle. Hana wasn't sure what that was. But she just stepped ahead with that girl and continued to explore the castle.
As she was about to go, she didn't know why, but she could feel a cold preference and also a scary feeling. But she knows that she is not alone and she wants to know what is that place is. Is it calling for her? Or was it something that she knew?
Hana arrived at the front door and Hana saw that the kid was trying to open the door but failed. She tried her best but still failed. Until she then turned to Hana and asked "why don't you try it?" Hana felt hesitant at first. But since she wanted to know what was inside, she then just gave it a try and hoped that the door would open.
Hana pushed the door slowly.
"Creek....."
Both doors open and ahead of them, they could see an endless hallway. Hana and that girl were so shocked as they saw that. But they didn't hold back and step ahead.
There's a lot of doors there. But they just ignore it all and continue forward.
Hana could feel dizzy as she continued. It feels like it doesn't let her go to the end of the hall. But Hana just pushes herself and keeps on going. The kid saw Hana stop for a second to calm herself down, and she then quickly asked Hana.
"Are you okay? Maybe we should stop here."
But Hana shook her head. She told that kid that she must keep on going. It feels like it was calling her. That's why she needs to keep on going. Even that thing didn't actually want her to be there.
Hana didn't want to stop there and she kept on pushing herself more. As Hana keeps on going. Her head feels light like she could fall at any time. As she put her hand on her head, that girl then suddenly held her hand and said.
"If you want and dare to keep on going then. Why don't we go together? You might need a hand to go there."
Hsna agreed with that kid and they both then kept on walking. The place keeps on changing from what the castle looks like, something like an underground tunnel and even something hellish that they didn't know what that is. But the roads is still the same, and they keep on walking even though they could see an explosion and a water filling in.
Hana could feel that something was still calling for her. But at the same time. It sounds like it's still calling for her. It wants her to be there and save him. But he thought that it would be a much burden for Hana.
But Hana refused to give up and kept on walking. It's weird. It's a long road. But Hana didn't even feel tired, which it makes her wonder what that place is.
Was it a dream or a reality? Was it just her imagination? But it feels too different to it was either of them. It just feels weird. It brings back the feeling of when she got prisoner back then. She didn't know what that place was, and it was the same as this place.
Back then, it was all blank black. But this time, it was mixed with many things. Just what the hell is this? It feels endless; it feels like a loop. But what kind of loop is this?
Hana kept on walking and then somehow she felt more dizzy than before and as she stopped for a while. She could hear another voice. This time, it seems like it was shuuing her away. It's begging for her to stay back and don't go forward. It's begging and Hana's head could feel more dizzy. But as Hana heard the voice begging for her to go away. Somehow, Hana smiled differently and suddenly her reaction changed.
The kid saw that change and it then just made her wonder why. But she just holds Hana's hand tightly and keeps on walking with her.
Hana crossed her arms and the kids just cling to a hem of her clothes.
Hana walked with her crossed arms and asked that voice.
"Oh, so now you're telling me to go away? You best."
When that voice heard Hana say that, the voice then began to get loud and replied, "You shut up. Calling me a pest? Just who the hell are you?" As that voice talking like that, Hana could feel the headache hit her hard. But she just keeps on walking. She knows that there must be a way that they could make it through. But it will take a time. They might not have a weapon to take him down. But they could at least negotiate through the dialogue for that.
Hana just keeps on walking then asks that voice why did he do all of this and why did everything look different. Was it resembling something? Or is there actually something that he hid from her. If there is, then she would like to know it.
But that voice didn't respond to her when she talked like that. It just keeps telling her to stop and go away. Because there's nothing beyond there.
But Hana shook her head. She told that voice that she didn't plan to stop there and she would keep on going. She also adds "Is that what you lower want? Why don't you show yourself, you pest?" Those words from Hana just make that voice a bit triggered.
Suddenly the place changed and ahead of them they could see an army of a knights. Those knights is using different weapons. Hana then told the kid to stay behind her and Hana then cast a magic that created an invisible barrier in front of her. Hana then quickly cast another magic that caused the army to get blown by a wave of fire.
As the fire had gone, they thought they might already have won in. But they could see that the army's armor did get affected by the heat, and it didn't even make them stop. They did get melted by the heat. But those are still walking.
Hana was so shocked by it. But she still got a lot of trump cards. Hana then cast another spell that caused the floor to melt, and it caused the army to slow down by that. It looks like they're slowly getting dragged in. So at that time, Hana used a spell that created a dark hole in between the army, and they all got pulled by it.
Since the floor is dragging them, the dark hole also pulled them up; it caused their waist and body to get separated by that and caused all of them to die.
After those are clear, Hana the smirks and says.
"Tch, is that all you have? Why don't you just bow down to me?"
That voice then got stressed by that and it then just laughed and said, "What a strong woman. Fine then, what do you want?" Suddenly, they all saw the place change and it then became a huge room.
In front of them, there's a guy who looks like Aikari. Everything seems the same, but for some reason, Hana could sense that it was not Aikari.
That figure walked towards them slowly and said to Hana "You seem to be talking like you're something." That figure stopped right in front of Hana and giggled.
Hana could feel something strange about it and the kid was also still holding the hem of her clothes tightly. Something feels strange about that and Hana then just told the guy that she didn't care about whatever he said. But all she wanted to know is why she is here and who he is.
The man then tried to hold Hana's hand. But Hana quickly pulled herself away and told him not to do that. Those words then just made that man laugh, and he asked Hana if that appearance was still not enough to make her fall for him again. Because she seemed to be having fun with Aikari in there. Plus they even kissed. Which it makes him wonder why that is not enough.
Hana and the kids who are with her just flushed as that man said Hana did kiss Aikari. Hana didn't think that anyone should know about that. Because it is supposed to be her and Aikari at that time. But to know that this man would know that, it caused her to be weird.
Is it someone she knows? Or is it someone that she has met before? Or is it someone who has been watching all of them all this time?
Then does it mean the person right in front of her is someone that is controlling the system? The administrator? But there's no way it could be.
But come to think of it, was it just her and Aikari. There's no one supposed to see it. But why would the administrator do that? What is his goal? Hana then quickly asked that guy what he wanted from her and she. Plus she told him to show himself there.
That guy laughed and said to Hana that she is sure impressive. He never thought that she was that sharp. So he then revealed his true appearance to Hana.
When did he did, Hana could see a man who dressed formally. Hana didn't recognize him at first. But the second time, Hana looked at him. She then immediately recognized him. She stepped back and said.
"That appearance... Lucien..? But why? Why are you doing this? Why are you even here?!"
Lucien then smiled and told Hana that he was so impressed that Hana would recognize him. But he still can't accept what has happened there. He then told Hana that he had worked so hard to get into this level and to win her heart. But what she chose is someone like Aikari. It just doesn't seem fair for him. Because to be compared to Aikari. He was a way too good. It just makes no sense that Hana could fall in love with someone like him.
But Hana didn't care about that. She then asked Lucien about how did he was able to get there and why he was doing this.
So Lucien then explained to Hana about his plan to get there and take over someone's mind and win someone's heart.
"I did study hard all the way from my college to here. It's all because I know that you did talk about this kind of experiment back then in our high school days, right? So I'm so sure that we would cross a path when this happens. If I'm a rich and a smart guy, then I am so sure that you would fall for me. I heard from some of my friends that you would join this experiment. So that I wanted to protect you and watch you the way I could. But look at you now. I'm working all hard. JUST TO WATCH YOU FLIRT WITH HIM? That is just unacceptable. That's why I come to save you."
Hana can't help but feel disgusted by Lucien. She never saw Lucien like how he thought she did, and she wasn't even interested in him. She then told Lucien that she never said that she was interested in him. Even if there is, then it might just be because of her family who forced her to.
She was never interested in that, and she then told Lucien to stop what he was doing and let her go. Because she didn't want to burden anyone. Mostly Aikari, who seems to be like, wanted to save her from that world. But it just makes Lucien hurt more as Hana mentioned Aikari there. He then clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, then said.
"YOU! JUST WHY ARE YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT HIM WHEN I'M HERE NOW?!"
But Hana didn't move or be scared of him, and she stood still calmly. She knows that she needs to defend herself with her confidence and strength for now.
