Ch. 1: The Laboratory of Prince Sakia

 

Kingdom of Morfan in the Land of Poison, Month of Shadow…-

 

A silent darkness enveloped the night.

 

I had taken up Prince Sakia's invitation after I'd awakened him and arrived in Morfan in the Land of Poison.

 

Such a gloomy castle…I wonder if anyone is actually here.

 

The invitation had the word ‘laboratory’ written on it, and I didn’t see anyone as I walked down the hall.

 

The invitation said laboratory, but what does that mean?

 

Following the hallway, I discovered a door wrapped in ivy. There was a nameplate on it that said ‘Sakia Laboratory’.

 

This is the place?

 

I knocked and heard a thin voice from inside.

 

Sakia: "Yes…you can come in…"

 

…is it really ok?

 

I entered nervously, and inside the room was a vast variety of cultivated plants.

 

This is Prince Sakia’s lab? It looks kind of like a botanical garden.

 

Sakia: "Ah…welcome… I have my hands full right now…so you can find somewhere to sit over there…"

 

OO: "O…OK"

 

Prince Sakia spoke without looking at me, his eyes eagerly fixated on a test tube.

 

OO: "Um, is this…?"

 

Sakia: "My work area…my laboratory… You came down…because you saw the plate…"

 

Looking closely, I realized the lab wasn’t filled with just plants, but also strange equipment and chemicals.

 

Seems like…I’ve come to an interesting place.

 

In the silence, strong scents tickled my nose, and I watched for a while as Prince Sakia joyfully continued his experiment.
