Everyone was immersed in their dreams. After a day of hard work, rest had become the most beautiful moment of the day.

A sharp horn hovered just inches from her eyes, its tip gleaming ominously.

The cute squeak of the rabbit from earlier turned into a fierce, guttural screech, filled with aggression and malice.
It thrashed violently, but a slender, white hand held it firmly in place.

“Oh, it’s nothing urgent! Let’s have some drinks first,” Barbatos ...

Kamisato Ayaka leaned against the cherry blossom tree, softly humming a tune.
