I stood up from my seat before clasping my hands,

"Okay, let's get down to business." I said, copying Grandma Jill's earlier words as I tried to desperately reach the counter. When I did, I climbed up and stood atop the counter.

"Hey squirt! Why don't you get down from there?" Grandma Jill scolded.

And because i'm stubborn, I didn't even listened to her words,

"No!"

"Who's the boss here?"

I laughed before pointing at myself, "Me of course!"

The others couldn't help but laugh out loud at my bold statement.

"This kid is funny! You're Amber, right?" One of the twins asked.

I frowned, "Who are you?"

The situation is kinda ironic.

Although I also have photographic memory in my old life, I forgot the names of the characters in the otome game. I didn't even bothered much with the details. My only target is to finish the otome game.

Meh. Maybe i'm just too lazy to be bothered with anyway.

He smirked, "I'm sorry for being rude. My name is Ethan Thorn, element is fire. While this guy here is Nathan Thorn, his element is water. We're twins as you can obviously see." He said nonchantly as he put his arm around his twin.

Both of them have identical features except for their hair and eyes. Ethan has blue hair and gray eyes while Nathan has red hair and golden eyes.

I nodded,

"Then, let me also properly introduce myself. I'm Amber Trinity Scarlette, element is air."

When i'm finished introducing myself, I turned to look at the guy who has a scabbard hanging around his belt. I'm guessing, he's the warrior one among the six.

"And you?"

"Ace Spades, no element. I'm a warrior."

Ace looks a bit mysterious. With his ebony black hair and emotionless black eyes. There's also this cold and scary aura surrounding him, preventing you from getting close to him easily.

"So I finally met the rest of the gang." I said joyfully but deep inside, a nervous feeling builds up.

You promised to not get involved with the characters but no! You just had to do it. Way to go me!

I then shook my head to get rid of the thought, "Setting those things aside, I know the rest of you were wondering what happened a few hours earlier. Am I right?"

Half of the people here nodded.

I cough to clear my throat before beginning my explanation,

"At first, the four of us thought of a plan to attack the demon when it's at it weak state. Although there's a risk of us dying due to the fact that we can't even see or feel the presence of the demon." I said slightly remembering what happened, "Our goal is to defeat the demon before midnight. But in every passing hour, the demon is starting to get strong and we're able to feel its prsence. Then..."

"Then we saw Rosary asking for help." Grey decided to continue my statement, "She was left behind and was hiding under a canopy of leaves. That's when the demon took her as a hostage. We made a plan to rescue Rosary and it was succesful. But just we are about to leave..." He paused.
