Disclaimer: The characters inside is not mine. I just borrow them in this story.

Okay, before you read the story, I have to tell you to drop your knowledge of whatever relationship of the characters in the game. This is a totally an AU story, so the relationship may as well change. I will maintain some of them though.

When Rozeluxe opened his eyes, his surrounding was all fog. Narrowed his eyes hoping to see clearly what's in front, but he only ended up finding dim image far ahead. He totally had no idea where he was.

"Over here."

A female voice sounded from void. Roze looked around but he found no one else, only a glowing door appeared in front of him. He walked near the door, hesitated before opening it. What lied beyond the door? What if monsters came out once he opened it? He realized he had no weapon equipped, no way to defend his life in case that really happened. You could say he was worrying too much however, experiences told him never took things easy, especially came to fight. There's no second chance in life.

"You're intelligent, aren't you?" The female voice again. Roze could hear chuckle behind her words. "Relax, you don't have to worry. It's safe to enter."

Roze still hesitating for a while before did as told. He twisted opened the door, revealing a raven haired woman waiting for him. Roze found he was in a different place which behind the door was a shiny beautiful garden with bird's sing and pleasant fragrances of the blossom flowers, and the woman was sitting on the bench.

"Welcome to this place, young noble." She gave him a pleasant smile, yet it wouldn't lower his guard.

"Who are you?"

"Easy, will you? I am no harm. As you can see, I have no weapon." She invited Roze to sit down. "Please have a seat."

Roze took a glance at the bench, accepted her offer at last. Indeed like she said, she had no weapon, and he didn't think she could hurt him with that bare hands. Anyhow, it didn't mean he would take easy on her.

"My name is Tetri. May I know yours?"

"…Rozeluxe."

"Then, I shall call you Roze. As you can see, this place is different from your world, but don't worry. You're asleep, only your consciousness being summon. Anyway, please take note on our conversation as I need your help in this."

Her words didn't ease his irritated from getting into a strange place, it even added his fury and annoyance. Now she even asked for his help.

"…What do you want from me?" Roze crossed his arms. He intentionally sounded cold and irritated.

"I request you to protect a girl." Tetri didn't bother of him though, continued without looking at him. "Her name is Ulrika Mulberry. She is on the way to Land of Renaissance, perhaps will take a week to reach there. Please be her guardian before the time approach."

"…What do you mean? And why me?" Roze frowned, having no idea why he was chosen to do this, and why he had to take care of a stranger?

"Um…well, let's say this is…destiny." Tetri formed a wide grin. Roze sure he caught a hint of teasing.

"Oh one more thing." She seemed remembered another matter as her eyes widened. "Let me informed you that the girl's life is in danger. Someone wants to take her life. Though I'll try to keep her safe on her way, but that will be your responsibility after she is in your hand."

"What?" Roze hoped he had mistaken her. Why the hell he had to bind by such a burden? He wanted to rebuke but before he could do so, the garden engulfed by a bright light. Tetri almost melted into it. "Hey, wait!"

"I leave the girl to you then." Tetri gave him a wave. "I'm sure we will meet again. Farewell for now."

What the hell? Roze could have shouted if not the light blinded him. He still lots of questions left to answer. However, the next time he opened his eyes, he only met the ceiling of his room.

Ulrika found herself came into a wonderful place, a place totally different than the one she has lived for past twenty one years. Her village was located in a secluded and silent place far away from capital city Land of Renaissance. She at least took more than one week to reach her destination. You could imagine how far it was.

Since she was already here in the Land of Renaissance, of course she wanted to enjoy the fun of the big city, not to waste any chance that might encounter fun and joy. Land of Renaissance was full with things she never seen, never touched and never tasted before. She didn't mind to spend all of her money to fulfill her desire to have whole day fun! She went to buy the ice ball and the cotton-like candy, and many other foods until her little stomach couldn't afford.

Land of Renaissance sure was bustling, ten times or even more bustled than her village. She never saw many peoples in a place. In Land of Renaissance, no one knew her. She could start her new life here! Oh oh…she could see the wonderful life waiting ahead of her…she couldn't wait anymore!

Though she was kinda worry at first, but well, Tetri sure was right! Ulrika felt glad to follow her advice. Her life would take a great change in here, ten times better than in that damn secluded village!

Took the last bite of the cheesy sandwich on hand, Ulrika felt her stomach was overfilled. Perhaps she should go to meet her guardian since it's getting late. But before that, she went ahead to check her wallet. Once opened the wallet, she started to regret. She only got ten potch inside!

"What the!?" Yep it's true she decided to spend her money, but she never expected it was going to empty this soon. If…if she couldn't find her guardian by today, where she was going to stay for night? "…No Ulrika, you can't give up so easily!"

Yes, that's right! She was not going to give up before she found her guardian! When she put her wallet back to the pocket, the last ten potch 'accidentally' dropped out and… rolling.

"Eh? Huh? Hey wait~~~~!"

No way! Her last potch! Ulrika screamed, quickly chased the rolling potch. She had to get that back! No. Matter. What!

Ignored the attention and shouting she caused by bumped into someone, or caused peoples tripped, or shocking the children, she only focused on the rolling potch like that was the last piece of thing in the world. She kept chasing and…

Bamp!

"Ouch!"

"Ugh!"

"What the heck!?" Rubbing her head in confusion, Ulrika found she lost trace of her last ten potch. "Oh no! My money!"

She cried out, depressing on her losing money. And then, she found a young man sitting opposite her, still in condition trying to catch his mind.

Seeing the man, Ulrika couldn't help but let out her depress by yelling at him.

"You! You caused me lost my money! That's the last potch I got…now it's gone!" She pointed at his nose. "What if I have no place to stay for night!?"

"…That's not my problem." The young man replied coldly.

"Wha-"

"Besides, don't you think you should apologize?" He glared at her with flame in his eyes. Ulrika was taken aback for a bit, but his sight flared her up more.

"Why should I apologize? You're the one spacing out, or else you should have evaded me!" Ulrika rebuked, shouted out of her lung. She saw his face twisted in great fury.

"That's not the problem!"

"I said that's the problem!"

They glared at each other. None of them wanted to throw in the sponge. About…five minutes I guess…

"Hmph!"

"Tch!"

The young man being the first gave up on this. With a groan, he cursed under his breathe.

"…What a rude girl." Today was not his day, fine then…!

"Don't let me ever see you again!"

Even she felt slightly good after letting out her depress, it didn't change the fact she was out of money. She once again fell depress.

"My guardian…where are you?" Perhaps it's better to ask someone else.

"What happened?"

A female voice stopped her from leaving. Ulrika saw a nimble girl with short blue hair along with some soldiers coming her way. The nimble girl was wearing a silver armor, a long katana hanged at her waist. She was the shortest yet the most capable among all of them.

"Oh good evening Captain Anna, actually…" One of the citizens whispered something besides Anna. Ulrika found the nimble captain threw her a serious look once in a while.

Anna approached her. "So you lost your potch after bumping into someone right? How much is that?"

"…Ten potch."

"…" The captain fell silent. Later she let out a sigh. "Alright, I'll search it for you. What's your name?"

"Ulrika Mulberry…will you really search it for me? I mean…it's only ten potch." Ulrika doubted her offer.

"It's my responsibility to keep everyone and everything in the city in good order. It doesn't matter if it only ten potch."

"T-Thank you!" Ulrika felt glad and thanked for her kindness. Though she looked unfriendly, but the captain was a good person. Her appreciation earned a pleasant smile from the nimble captain.

Then, Anna and her soldiers left the place, followed by the peoples who came to gossip, leaving Ulrika alone.

Wow…she was cool! She was a girl, but she was a captain!

"She is great…" Ulrika muttered softly.

"Well, I agreed with that. Little Anna is awesome."

Suddenly another voice cut in. Ulrika jumped back a few feet, almost tripped from such a shock. Lifted her eyes, she met with a pair of grey eyes and long silky violet hair.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The beautiful girl chuckled by her reaction, seemed enjoyed her shock and fear which she kept laughing. Even so, she looked much more beautiful by that smiling face.

"What's wrong? Did I scare you?" She asked innocently.

"Yes, you are!" Ulrika gave her an irritated look by rolling her eyes. "Who are you!?"

"I'm Pamela, this is my friend." Pamela introduced herself while showing the teddy bear on hand.

Why she brought a teddy bear with her? Though it made her more adorable…out of topic.

"I'm Ulrika."

"I never see you before. Are you from other place?" Pamela asked.

"Yeah…I came from a small village far away from here." Ulrika suddenly thought she might get the chance to ask about her guardian. "Pamela, I'm searching for someone. Can you help me in this?"

"Of course! There's no one I don't know in Land of Renaissance!"

Um? Didn't that sound too exaggerated? ...Never mind that.

"…Well, I'm looking for a person name Rozeluxe."

"Rozeluxe!?" Pamela first gave her a shock look by widened her two big eyes, and then she burst out into a laugh. "Well well, I do know him. Come with me, I'll take you to him."

Pamela gestured Ulrika to come along. Ulrika happily followed behind her, having forgotten the beautiful girl scared her just now, and she hadn't apologize.

"Ulrika, what's your relationship with Rozeluxe?" Asked Pamela with a blossom-like smile. Ulrika thought she might catch a hint of mischief inside.

"No, I don't know him at all." Her answer caused the beautiful girl chocked. "Someone told me to find him once I'm here. That's it."

Pamela nodded with slight disbelieved. "I see…well, I guess it will be very interesting then."

Interesting? Ulrika had no idea what was so interesting about. She was more curious how's her guardian looked like, and his personality.

"Pamela, can you tell me more about this person?" Ulrika was quite worried of her guardian was a hoary old man.

Pamela giggled. "Roze…um…well, he is a nice guy, that's all I can say. Though he has bad temper and cool, but he is a kind person. Cold in outside but warm in inside is what the citizens appraise him."

"I see…how old is he?"

"Twenty-two, if I'm right."

"Only a year older than me?" It took Ulrika by surprise, but at least eased her worry. "…It's better than old man though."

"And, he is a baron, Baron Rozeluxe." Another surprise Pamela threw at her.

"B-Baron?" Only twenty-two years old? Ulrika truly jaw dropped. Her reaction once again earned a laugh from the beautiful girl.

"He inherited this from his grandfather. Roze is the youngest noble in this city." Pamela explained while took Ulrika to the alley to the residential. Residential located at the east of the square hall which the bustling place Ulrika has been a moment ago.

On the way, they found a little girl kept staring the tree. Pamela approached the girl by calling her name.

"What are you doing here, little Marry?"

"Big sister Pamela…"the girl pointed the hat that hanged on the tree. "The wind blew my hat up to the tree…that's my favorite hat…"

Pamela rubbed her head to ease her sadness. "Don't worry, big sister is here."

Ulrika thought Pamela would go to ask from help from the men, so she went aside to wait. But Pamela didn't. Instead, Pamela floated up to the tree and took the hat.

Wait…FLOAT!?

What the hell human could float in the air!? T-This was ridiculous!

"Thank you, big sister Pamela!" And the child didn't freak out!

"Welcome! Bye~" When Pamela backed to Ulrika, she found the blonde pointed at her with jaw dropped, and that freak out expression like she would going to scream at no time. "What's wrong?"

"Y-You…you…you're f-floating…!" Ulrika finally caught back her voice.

"Oh! I forgot you're an outsider." Pamela giggled, ignored the shocking blonde. Well, she used to it though. "I'm a ghost." She spoke calmly.

"G-Ghost? Y-You mean you're…"

"Yes, I died long time ago." Pamela spoke still with that smiling face.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Another scream from the blonde for today. "G-Ghost!"

Pamela floated closer to Ulrika, the blossom-like smile still hanged on her face. "You don't have to scream like that. It's hurt me, you know? Besides, I don't eat human."

"B-But…" You're a ghost! Ulrika screamed inwardly. As Pamela kept floating closer, she kept taking a step backward until she met the cold wall behind her. Ulrika thought she might have seen a spine on the beautiful girl's forehead.

Oh someone please helped her! She didn't want to die under the hand of a ghost!

"I won't hurt you Ulrika." Pamela dropped her face. Suddenly she cried; let the tears burst out like an opened tap. Ulrika had no idea where the tears coming from. "You're so bad Ulrika…it's not like I want to be a ghost in the first place…!"

Seeing that made Ulrika felt bad for the beautiful girl yet she was frightened like a hell! She was s ghost, but a pity ghost, huh…?

"Eh…I-I'm sorry…?"

"Wuwuwuwuwuuuuu…"

"I-I said I'm sorry! Please don't cry!"

"Really? You don't afraid of me?" The tears suddenly stopped, Pamela lifted her big eyes to the blonde.

"Y-Yes…I guess…" Ulrika avoided to look at her, and wondered where those tears gone.

"Hooray! Come on, we almost there!" Pamela grabbed her hand and ran forward. Ulrika was taken aback, intended to struggle to let go, but Pamela grabbed tighter than she thought. At last she gave up on that idea.

Ulrika expected to meet a cold gripped from the beautiful ghost, but not. She felt warmth from her gripped. Wasn't Pamela a ghost? Why she could feel warmth coming from her? If not because Pamela could float like no other could, everybody will mistaken her as normal human. From Ulrika view, Pamela was no different than any other person.

Ulrika felt her fear was eased after thinking Pamela probably was nothing different than her, she was no more resisted of her appearance.

"Okay, we're here!" They stopped in front of a medium sized house." Oh we're just in time! Roze~" Pamela waved her hand to the radiant haired man that coming their way.

He was wearing a black coat, inside was a deep blue shirt with a dark brown long pants. His face twisted immediately he saw Ulrika.

And the same thing happened on Ulrika's face.

"What!? You're Rozeluxe!?"
