Lily A. Jennifer, 27 years old, aspiring young reporter.
The story is 3 years later, after the famous Great Library Explosion, Lily, one of the people who broke the news of the Great Library Explosion which was the biggest news in history, became famous all over the world. There was no one who did not hear this big news. While she was traveling to find news
She didn't realize that the invitation she received had something...
The beginning of the game of death About to begin...
Boom!
The sound of an explosion shook the entire library. Places within a radius of 5 kilometers from the library wall were hearing loud noises. Along with the earthquake from the vibration of the explosion.
“Yay!” A female reporter who was driving suddenly had to brake because of the shaking of the earth and the loud explosion that sounded like 30 volcanoes erupting at the same time.
“What? That big smoke billowing out of the library!” said a young reporter with short, light brown hair. Open the door and get out of the car to see what's going on.
"I have to hurry and see."
The young reporter hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and drove with the expertise of a former racer. Her skills turned around without slowing down at all. As she was about to reach the library, she found The walls of the library shattered into pieces. along with a large ball of flame Then she hurriedly drove to the front of the library and found that the front of the library was burnt to the point of being unusable.
"What's going on... what happened"
When I turned to look in front of the library, I saw a raven-haired youth covered in blood, who was carrying the unconscious silver-haired youth into an ambulance.
As I was about to pass by the onlookers, a policeman who looked like he was walking through fire stopped him.
"Mr. Rick, Ran's condition doesn't look good, so hurry up and come."
woman with long brown hair rushed from the ambulance She seemed as disheveled as that policeman.
"um! You guys, please control the area and don't let people enter the scene until the fire truck has finished extinguishing the fire."
The police officer then quickly ordered his subordinates to control the situation. Then he ran to the ambulance and went up.
"What's going on? This big fire..."
Soon after, a fire truck arrived and it took hours to extinguish the large fire. I and other journalists wrote the news. This news spread across the world less than two hours after it was published on the internet.
Three years after that incident, news of the library still spread among the small community. Nowadays, the library there has turned into a village.
I, while walking around looking for news in a small market near the village, saw a person I had seen before.
"Ah... if I'm not mistaken, those two."
Her eyes fell on the backs of two young boys. One person with raven black hair was taller than the other with silver hair who was shopping.
"There's only one person with that silver hair..."
Then I walked over to those two people.
"Here are the two of you."
Then the two of them turned around. Using these two people I met in front of the library when the big fire was going on.
The three of us went to a small, newly opened coffee shop nearby and talked about something.
“Are they involved in the big fire at that library?”
the female reporter asked the two young men sitting across from her.
"It's correct that the two of us are involved. They are directly related."
The raven-haired boy drank an espresso while speaking a few words.
"There were many losses in that event."
"So where do they live?"
"The two of me are temporarily living at Mr. Rick's house."
"Yes, that police officer."
"Do you know me?"
“Well, that person I've seen many times. But I don't know him."
And the young man sitting next to him drank hot cocoa.
“Right now the two of us are leaving. Get out of here and have new experiences.”
The silver-haired boy who had been silent for a long time finally spoke.
This child's eye color is very beautiful. Silver color is as beautiful as mine. I just noticed this.
"Still... Really... Then I'll go first. I'll take care of all of this. See you again."
Then I walked out of the store. Then he turned to look at the two children.
If you were a normal adult, you would probably view it as nonsense. The two children will go on a journey to gain new experiences.
“I forgot to ask his age. But they look like normal middle school students and students... The look in those children's eyes was real. To travel alone, just the two of them, it felt like those two people would be more mature than me... Sigh..."
As I walked along while catching my breath, I walked past a girl holding a black umbrella, but I didn't mind anything and just walked past.
It's broad daylight and you're holding up a black umbrella? What a strange person...
When I drove back to my house I noticed a letter had been sent to me and I opened it. It was a black invitation card with some white text.
'Welcome to the Apollo Games, Ms. Lily. You will be our guest of honor three days from now. Please come to the Maudésant House at sixteen o'clock sharp.'
"The fifth Maudésant mansion, the year before the mass murder that took place in that house..."
Right now, in my head there are only words of whether to go or not to go...
Better go... in case you might get some news to write about.
Three days had passed since then.
"Is it beautiful like this?"
I stood and watched myself getting dressed to go to the Maudésson mansion in the next 5 hours.
“If you leave now, it will take another three hours to get there. So let's stop by and get something to eat."
After that, I drove out to the mansion. She didn't realize that. Her visit to the mansion this time was to take part in a deadly game that was about to begin at sixteen o'clock...
