It's been over fifteen minutes now. It's time to leave and continue the journey. Just a little more, they're almost there. Eun Ji Hae is trying to prove it to everyone including Vallery. All this time they thought if Eun Ji Hae had shown the wrong way. Though not. After finishing the short trip and returning to Mooneta safely, then everyone would know if Eun Ji Hae did not say nonsense.
“Are you sure this is the right way?” jang Eunbi asked one of the family members.
“We will never know what's at the end of the road there,” he replied indifferently.
Of course Nhea. The girl was one of the family members who did not want to be called a family. He even decided to separate himself from them all. Nhea had set certain boundaries towards her own family. Moreover, yesterday Eun Ji Hae asked this girl to keep a secret about her own identity.
Nhea still could not accept the fact that her father and mother could leave Nhea alone right that night. It was raining there. They disappear like they are swallowed by the earth. Lost somewhere. Nhea never saw the trunk of their nose again after that. Vallery and Wilson have disappeared in mysterious ways.
No one really knows where they're going. Aunt Ga Eun also never told Nhea how the full story was. That girl is too small. He will understand nothing for years they have agreed to hide the truth. And only now is everything revealed.
Even Nhea was no longer curious about it now. He gave up his father and mother. Until now Nhea still considers if they have died. Right after the incident that night, the figures of Wilson and Vallery had already disappeared from his memory. Not just getting there. Something is worse. The names of the two of them were no longer in Nhea's heart. Time can change everything.
There was nothing he regretted as long as Vallery and Wilson left. He didn't even expect them to come back. Hope has been dashed. He's been waiting too long for that. Until he thought that everything was too impossible to happen. The wounds of his past are still hard to forget.
“Why should the impression of our last meeting be that bad?”

Now they're almost at the end of the road. From a distance it has been seen if in front of them currently stands a building that is stylish like most buildings in the Victorian era. They don't look wrong anymore. Right now everything had arrived right in front of the building of the Mooneta magic academy.
Most of them certainly do not believe that this secret road has brought them back to this place. There's no need to spend days like here. Now they can get through it in less than a day. Even just a matter of hours. Eun Ji Hae and the others managed to get here before sunset. Because they left much earlier. They left the city before sunrise.
“How? Do you believe me now?” eun Ji Hae asked her mother.
On the other hand, Vallery was speechless at all. It speaks only a thousand languages. Don't know how to react.
Everyone looked dumbfounded except Eun Ji Hae. He knew it would be like this in the end. Of course they don't believe. How could the trail take them back to Mooneta in just a matter of hours. It doesn't make any sense. Don't tell me this is all an illusion. Especially magic. Who could create such a powerful magic. Surely there isn't. Aunt Ga Eun herself was unable to do so.
"Where do you know this route?" ask Wilson.
It's not Wilson's business anyway. He had no right to know where Eun Ji Hae could get the information from. He should thank the girl.
"Well! How could I not know there was an alternative way here?" aunt Ga Eun said with an amazed expression.
"My whole life while I've been living here, it's the first time I've known that there's this street around the school building" said Valery, who didn't want to lose.
"How can I realize all this now?" continued.
They really don't think it out. Everyone was staring at the magic academy building in front of them with a half-conscious feeling. They're pecking in place. Like being bewitched.
Aunt Ga Eun and the others remained unmoved. They're out of words. The atmosphere became silent for a moment. Until Eun Ji Hae cleared her throat intentionally to melt the atmosphere. Until when they want to stare like this.
"Do you not want to go back there?" ask Eun Ji Hae.
"Why are you just standing around like this?" continued.
Eun Ji Hae decided to go first as usual. He is the leader. Then the rest followed the girl's footsteps from behind. So far Eun Ji Hae has been acting as the road director to all of them. I don't know what would happen if the girl wasn't here.
Unwittingly, Eun Ji Hae is quite an important person. It is undeniable that he holds a considerable role in it. The survival of Mooneta magic academy was mostly in his hands. Although it can be ascertained if he will not be the leader later. However, systematically all rights and powers over the academy would fall to Nhea. He was the only person most entitled to accept all of that.
Their steps again came to a halt right in front of the school's main gate. Access to entry is still closed. They deliberately locked the place so as not to be visited by anyone.
To be honest, there were still doubts tucked inside Eun Ji Hae's heart. Not just the girl. He was sure that everyone here felt the same way.
Not doubt. More precisely, fear and anxiety. The school, which was once the safest and most peaceful place, has now changed by one hundred percent. Mooneta has turned into a cursed place. It made them hesitate to come back here. Afraid that those problems will come up again. Fear that the terror will continue. They are too afraid to start a new leaf in the same place.
The snow is getting bigger there now. But not much higher than the last time they saw. Not much has changed as they go. Let alone the snow no longer come down once they leave this place.
