What in the world is going on today?? I don't think I've ever seen this many people in the City! And so many of them...loud, talkative girls. It's like the Order, but...ten times as much.At least they don't appear to be dangerous? It's better than a bunch of demons flooding the City or something, anyway

Oh um... Hello!
Demons...? Are demons real? I've read about them in stories but... I never thought they really existed.

[tenmorehours]

Hello!

Oh, ah, yes, we are. I know it must sound a little weird...

[hon_ya]

Oh no, it's not that weird!
...?
"We are"?
Are you a demon?

[tenmorehours]

Well...yeah.

Does that bother you?

[hon_ya]

No, of course not!

Actually...I think it's sort of neat... It's like a fairytale come to life...
S-sorry... I hope that I don't seem rude...

[tenmorehours]

Oh, no, not at all! Someone else I knew had the same reaction when I told them. They asked me if fairies and witches were real, too.

[hon_ya]

...
W-well um... now that you mention it...
Are they?

[tenmorehours]

Well...I don't know any from my world, but maybe in another one? I've seen all sorts of different people here.

[hon_ya]

I-I see...
Thanks so much for telling me...!
O-oh...I don't think I ever got your name... I'm Nodoka...

[tenmorehours]

You're welcome!

It's ncie to meet you, Nodoka. I'm Chrono.

[hon_ya]

Chrono-san...
It's nice to meet you too.
So... What do you do in this city...?

[tenmorehours]

Oh, um...mostly I try to keep track of Rosette and Shiki and my other friends as difficult as that is. And I like to bake a lot...

[hon_ya]

I see...
Rosette and Shiki... They must be very nice people.

And what types of things do you bake...? I'm afraid that I don't get around to cooking much. I'm usually reading...

[tenmorehours]

Well...yeah, when they want to be.

Mm, mostly sweets. Cookies and cakes and things. You like to read? I like to do that, too! What sort of books are your favorites?

[hon_ya]

Hehe. That sounds like some people I know where I come from...

Sweets? How wonderful! I bet you're really good at baking too.. And yes, I do. I'm working at a library right now... I really like fantasy and adventure books... A-and some romances... B-but any book is nice. They're all unique in their own special way.

[tenmorehours]

Oh? Really?

Ah...thank you! I try my best.

The library sounds like a nice place to work! Those sound like good books, too. And you're right about them all being unique...sort of like people, huh?
