Hortus Arcanus planēta

ACT 2

look for memory

“Wait… are you saying magic really exists in the real world?”

“It does.”

Al answered as though it were the most obvious thing in the world, gracefully sipping his tea.

“That button is a key that connects you to a story.

It was so long ago that there are many different theories now, but supposedly, that button was originally used as a key to enter the book that sealed away magic.”

“This…?”

“Anyway, what exactly do you want to know about Refa?”

“W-well…

Why is Refa in this world?

Is he connected to those book caretaker?

What… what is Refa even thinking?”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.

That’s way too many questions.”

“Ah… sorry.”

“Hey… do you really want to know that much about Refa?”

Al narrowed his eyes slightly before continuing.

“Well, if you want to know that badly… then come with me.”

“Um… where?”

“Just stay hidden with that magic of yours.

You want to know about Refa, don’t you?”

I was afraid of learning the truth about Refa.

For some reason, it felt like the Refa from back then would only grow farther and farther away from me.

But if I didn’t learn the truth, nothing would ever begin.

I steeled my resolve and nodded.

“…Okay.”
