## Lance's Mini Game

**Lance's Mini Game is a short story that was released for a limited amount of time to celebrate the release of Lance's route.**
**Note: I don't remember much of the story since it was released months ago, so parts of the story might not be correct or are missing.**

Fenn, Hawke, Jasper, Lance, and MC are at the back-alley tavern having some drinks. Fenn prepared 3 special drinks for Lance to try.

* Drink One.

Sorry, I don't remember this part.

* Drink Two.

Lance drinks it and it makes him hallucinate that MC is her cat (Robin). So, Lance tells MC to sit on his lap so he can pet her. MC refuses, but Lance tells her not to hold back and pulls her onto his lap. Lance then starts to pet her like a cat. He also scratches underneath her chin. MC tries to break out of his grasp, but she can't as Lance is too strong. Fenn laughs at the situation and states that MC has become Lance's kitten.

* Drink Three.

Lance drinks it and it makes him hallucinate that Hawke is Jay. He starts talking politely and asking Hawke if he needs help with anything. Hawke explains that Jay reminds Lance of his valet that he left back in Ira and that Lance would do anything for Jay.

# Book 1:

### Perspective: Pain

Late at night, MC pays a visit to Lance's room. Lance wonders why she is here and realizes the reason when she shows him a book titled "The Door to Another World". Lance knows that the book contains difficult passages and outdated language, so MC must have come here to get his help with understanding the book. He also thinks about how this book would be even more difficult for her since she came from the Human Realm. Lance then asks MC which part she is struggling with. As MC is searching for the part she is confused about, Lance thinks about how he can't even imagine what the world MC came from is like. He thinks about how MC must have felt confused and resentful over being brought here to the Magical Realm, but she still presses on with her life. Lance then compares himself to MC. He thinks about how he is the complete opposite of her. While she is pressing on with her life, he has only been idling away in the same place while running away from his past. Lance feels unworthy even being in her presence after comparing himself to her.

As he watches MC struggle with reading the book, he feels this pain in his chest. Lance wishes for MC to hurry and be gone from his sight. In his mind, he curses her attempts at resisting the inevitable, but that only makes him feel that same pain in his chest once again. Lance then realizes that MC will be gone sooner or later as she will be returning to the Human Realm. He has a thought that it will be too late after MC returns to the Human Realm. Lance then wonders why he had such a strange thought. He is confused about why he feels so relucatnt to let her go back home. But, deep inside his heart he realizes that he hates the thought of MC being gone. Lance then tries to stop himself from having these sentimental thoughts and rationalizes to himself that it's only natural that MC returns to Earth since that is her greatest wish. He shoves away his melancholy thoughts as MC points out the part of the book that she's confused about. It's the section about space-time magic. Lance takes the book and reads aloud the passage. The passage states that the spellcaster must float themselves over the center of a spring on the night of a full moon. MC tells Lance that she can't use levitation magic. Lance immediately volunteers to do it for her as if that will somehow drive away his sadness. He then thinks about how MC must find him to be mysterious as he is good at using magic despite being a C Rank. In his inner monologue, he states that just because he doesn't use magic, doesn't mean he can't use it. MC then asks Lance if that means that he will eventually be able to use ancient magic. Lance clicks his tongue after hearing MC's words. He feels as if she just stabbed him in the chest with her words. Lance doesn't even want to think about the reason why he won't use ancient magic and can't handle the memory if it.

Lance then suddenly has a flashback of a bunch of men running away from something in the desert of Ira. One of the men is shouting at another man to stay away from him. Another man shouts out that he can't control his body and that it's moving on it's own. The man wonders what kind of magic is controlling him. Lance thinks about how this scene is burned into his memory. He remembers all the voices of the men shouting out. Lance tries to brush away the memory, but the memory is still vivid in his brain. He then tries to disassociate his feelings from the memory, so that he won't feel hurt. Lance then swears that he will never use ancient magic ever again. MC flinches as she sees the look in his eyes.
