Center. “Well, that was kinda rough.” Kenji stretched his arms. “…Yeah.” Hiroki didn’t add more. His mind was already slipping elsewhere. But then… “Hey! Guys!” A familiar voice called out from a distance ahead. “Miyu…?” Hiroki didn't expect her to arrive. She hurried down the hallway towards them, holding her usual notebook tightly against her chest. “Did I miss anything important guys?” Her smile was bright as always. However, on her way, she noticed. Ayuri had just passed by her with a calm but unreadable expression. She didn’t say a word, nor did Miyu try to stop her. Something in her eyes left an unusual tension in the air. But she just overlooked it and moved on. As Miyu reached to Kenji and Hiroki, she slowed down, her smile slightly dimming. “…Uhh. What’s wrong?” Kenji looked away. Hiroki was the one who responded to her with some struggle. “Amaya… she was abducted. Last night. By the same people” Moments of silence, blank stares. “H…Huh?” Miyu froze. Her eyes widened slightly. Her grip tightened around the notebook in her arms. “…So… it is.” She forced a soft smile, but the pain behind it was clear. “We shouldn’t worry too much… P.H.G. and Royal Guard will surely take action… Right?” Neither of them responded. “I guess… I’ll just focus on my research for now. I need to keep going anyway.” Her tone was calm, but her steps turned quick. Miyu turned around and began walking back toward the P.H.G. main wing, with her gaze downward, unreadable. She did not look back. Meanwhile, Yoru, who had separated from them a while ago, was leaning against a tree. She noticed Miyu rushing toward the center, but her features seemed unusual. “Miyu?” She raised her hand, slightly reaching out… But the words never came. Miyu was already too far. Her figure faded around the hallway’s corner. This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. Yoru’s hand slowly lowered. She said nothing. The doors of the Central Library swung open. It was Miyu who passed by, but her face carried a shadowed look. Miyu stood before a table covered in old books, blueprints, and magical theory pages. Her hands were shaking slightly as she opened her own notebook. "How…" Miyu nervously clutched her head, her eyes reflecting panic, "How, how, how! How did it come to this…?!" Her voice was barely audible. After a few while, she collected herself and felt a bit of ease. “I… have to figure it out.” She muttered quietly. “I must reveal the truth. The Golden Book, the secrets of Yumix… and the mystery surrounding Hiroki.” “Even though I can't fight like Kenji and Yoru... Even if I'm unable to stand on the battlefield.” “I am the only one who can unveil the truth!” Her eyes scanned the pages with intensity, flipping between dozens of references and ancient records. “If I can find it… maybe I’ll be useful too…” Amaya’s image crossed her mind. Her friend who was taken away. “I have to do this… for her… I can save her too.” Her fingers clenched her pen like a blade. No more fear. No more helplessness. She would explore every hidden aspect of Yumix’s history, myth, and truth. Even if it cost her peace of mind… Later that night… Somewhere far into the forest… A silent room under the ground. Damp walls. A dim white light filters in, barely illuminating the dark room. There was a chair beside, someone was on it... It was Amaya. She was tied to the chair. Her mouth and eyes were covered in thick cloth, and her arms were tied tightly behind her back with a coarse rope. Her breathing was uneven. The air felt heavy with tension. Suddenly… the door creaked. Quiet, slow footsteps approached. Then… A hand pulled the cloth from her mouth and eyes. She immediately gasped, squinting at that figure in fro
