Yuzu and Sana safely landed on the tower roof. Yuzu sighed in relief as she dropped and sat the edge.
:
"So. tell me.. what just happened down there— and what key is that person talking about!" she knitted her brows.
:
"oh will you calm down." she sighed and placed her palms onto her temples
:
"Calm down?! It looks like that person was out to get me!"
:
"Because they are!"
:
"w-wha—?" Yuzu sighed as she stood up to the latter
:
"look.. People knows you are not from here.. Bad people.. You and your friends are targets by those people."
:
"Why? what do they want from us"
:
"The key."
:
"Key? what key?" Yuzu hummed
:
"so.. You dont know where the key is?"
:
"I have no key you speak of. it's my first time hearing this"
:
"I see.."
:
"Trust me.. I dont know.." Yuzu hummed and knitted her brows
"What does this key do?"
:
"I have a hunch of what the key is.. but I am just not completely sure.."
:
"tell me.. I might help"
:
"very well then..—" she sighed and sat "here. sit"
and Sana gently followed the younger
:
"— Legend has it that there are worlds.. beyond ours.. A world that could give you ultimate power and advantage over the others."
:
"So.. are you talking about my world?" Yuzu nodded
:
"Your world and Mine are purely different but absolutely the same. One who crosses gains the power. but yours and mine is just 2 different worlds we know of."
:
"Are there more?"
:
"a lot more. There is a world called Nexiara—"
:
"Nexiara?!"
:
"huh.. you know this place?"
:
"uh.. I–I—"

:
"It's not about you being a demon Tzuyu.. its you.. is what I like about you."
:
"And.. what exactly.. is me.."
:
"You.. right here with me."
~End of Flashback~
:
"—I... might have known of this." she stuttered and began to wipe some tears that were about to drop from her eyes.
:
"I see..— have you.. stepped onto that world before?" Sana slightly nodded
"What is it like?"
:
"funny... but Nexiara is just like yours.— we only know 2 worlds.. Azumore.. and Nexiara. Nexiara is a complete mirrored version of Azumore.. which is the exact replica... of this.. world?" she knitted her brows and gasped
:
"what is it?"
:
"Yuzu?! Do you have an Arcane Library?"
:
"Uh Arcane and Divine has their own libraries tho."
:
"Arcane.. I need to know where Arcane Library is."
:
"It's uh by the—"
:
"Great! Let's meet tonight! I have to go and see my friends!" she began to hop onto the air as Yuzu suddenly grabbed hold of her hand
:
"Wait? Tonight?"
:
"Yes.. tonight. please. I need to see that library."
:
"What's the hurry."
:
"She.. she might be there.. she might still.. be there.. I have to see. "
:
"she?"
:
"i'll explain later!" she immediately hopped down
:
"Wait! sana!" she extended her hand trying to reach to her but was too late
"Ugh!— what's wrong with her" she dropped her fist at the barrier and scowled.
Two thin aired dust began to form behind Yuzu, as Hyun and Youngchae appeared behind her
:
"So.. got anything?"
:
"Tadao did a great job distracting the two didnt he?"
:
"SHUT UP!"
:
"Ruuudeeee"
:
"ugh! Sana knows something! she definitely does! she might also know where that gateway is!"
:
"How sure are you?"
:
"She and her friends had stepped foot on Nexiara! And I bet they know where that portal is."
:
"perfect then."
:
"it's all up to tonight.."
:
"Tonight?"
:
"Yeah.. How bout helping our friends find what they are looking for shall we?" she wickedly grinned
:
"It's all part of the plan!"
:
"heh.. Arcane has no idea what hit them!" she laughed

King of Fools : Silver Tongue
A certain trickster spirit was fond of saying, 'me and my big fat mouth'. That could be Jasper Stone's motto. There's never been a situation in his life he didn't make worse by opening his mouth, because when he does, ridiculous amounts of trash-talk and overconfidence just spills out. He's never managed to do anything with his wits -- but when the God of Fools tosses him into another world for amusement's sake, he'll need to put them to use. Because there are bandits, dragons, and cultists out there -- none of whom appreciate Jasper's particular gift for insults. --Cover by the inimitable Vitaly S Alexius.
