*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''-''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Make up my mind...''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Cadre}} '''???:''' ''Future is uncertain. It's only natural to hesitate before making the choice.''
*{{StoryIcon|Cadre}} '''???:''' ''Only humans understand the gem of hope buried in the sea of unknown. You move away from fear, yet find yourself drawn again.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Who are you? You don't... look like a Dream Demon...''
*{{StoryIcon|Cadre}} '''Roamer:''' ''Hello! I'm a Roamer who's also here as a visitor. Haha, now that I'm old, I find their welcome to be a touch overwhelming, so I was finding somewhere to escape their attention.''
*{{StoryIcon|Cadre}} '''Roamer:''' ''You look like adventurers. Do you mind if I ask you something?''
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''...... What is it?''
*{{StoryIcon|Cadre}} '''Roamer:''' ''I'm headed to the White-Ghost Land. It's rumored to be turbulent, so as a wanderer without a home, I have not stepped foot in that direction...''
*{{StoryIcon|Cadre}} '''Roamer:''' ''But I heard it's become quite habitable these days, so I've come all the way to Red Demon territory in hopes of visiting there.''
*{{StoryIcon|Cadre}} '''Roamer:''' ''But now that I'm actually close to the White-Ghost Land, it's a bit terrifying. I was trying to figure out if the rumors were true or not, but my mischievous friends here said they've never been, so they don't know.''
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''What are the rumors?''
*{{StoryIcon|Cadre}} '''Roamer:''' ''There's a rumor that the burning tower fell, and the snow king of old has been resurrected.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''It's very detailed... We've been there It should be safe to visit now.''
*{{StoryIcon|Cadre}} '''Roamer:''' ''My, that's wonderful news. Now I have one less thing to worry about.''
*{{StoryIcon|Cadre}} '''Roamer:''' ''Here, let me give you a reward.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Oh no, it's fine...''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Oh! My pouch!''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Did you talk to us to give me this?''
*{{StoryIcon|Cadre}} '''Roamer:''' ''It was just part of the reason. Haha, you should make a habit of checking your surroundings before you leave.''
*{{StoryIcon|Cadre}} '''Roamer:''' ''Now, I've stayed here long enough. I shall take my leave.''
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''He's gone like the wind.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Yes. He was a strange man.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''... Ara, check the pouch. Do you notice anything different?''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Huh? Um... ... Not really. Everything's in place. What's wrong, Eun?''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''... It's nothing. I guess I'm just paranoid.''
*{{StoryIcon|Eun}} '''Eun:''' ''But next time, be wary when someone hands you somethin. Even if it's yours.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Huh? Alright....''
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''(Humans understand the existence of hope...)''
*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''(Human... Human...? In the Demon Realm?)''

*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''What is it! I was talking to our customers!''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''I told you to tell me when we have guests, Yana!''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''And what it that! They're... They're the humans we encountered in Elrios!''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Oh, so you noticed as well? That's right I didn't recognize them at first. It's quite fascinating. I did hear humans grow up fast, but they changed a lot since last time!''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''This is not the time to remanence! Really... I thought my heart was going to stop when they grabbed me to ask questions.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''It already stopped once, what's the big deal... What do you want?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''I'm really not in the mood to joke around. Sigh... Thankfully, from our conversation, they're pretending like they don't know us.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Mmhm.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''And they're here looking for Earl Ran.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''So, so?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Now is our chance to strike! We should tell our Queen and revenge Karis!''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Revenge? I was wondering where you were going with this. Isn't it time you let go of your habits from when you were alive? So unsophisticated!''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Mourning, revenge, resentment, desire... You won't live long if you think about these things, Vasili.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''Ugh... I know! But you can't deny they're dangerous.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''I know. We've finally settled. It would be a shame if a fight broke out here.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''And we can't lose anymore of our people. You understand what I mean, right?''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Yeah, yeah. But you know? I think they are really good kids. They really liked it here! I was touched.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''What?''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''I felt a strong pull of emotion. Really! My hunch is never wrong!''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''... I thought you said you won't live long if you think about those things.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Huhu! This is a bit different. Now, I have a brilliant idea. We can become friends with them, have revenge, and increase our numbers all in one! Want to hear me out?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vasili}} '''Vasili:''' ''I already get the feeling that you're up to no good.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''My! You know me so well! That's exactly what I want. I'm sure our Queen would approve.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''But we need something to distract them for a while... Well, they're looking for Ran, aren't they? Huhuhu... Then let's lead them to our Mr. Know-it-All.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Our Mr. Magician and Puppet will show them a good time.''
*{{StoryIcon|Diana}} '''Diana:''' ''Now, Vasha. Let's prepare a grand welcoming.''
