Story[]

"It's a sunny morning in autumn. The maple leaves scatter on the wide street. It feels very comfortable when the breeze blows through the skin. Mela walks briskly towards the ruins of the theater, without giving two hoots about the passersby—she and the members of Iron Rose have come to the Periphery Town for the legendary design by order of the Queen. Legend has it that a dancer has offered her soul to the demon in exchange for Eternal Dance and a beautiful gown that has been forever left in the garret of the theater.

After reading through the story in the secret letter, Mela soon notices the key point of it—that beautiful gown in the garret precious vintage design as well as a very rare material.

I have to find that gown before anyone else does... Mela says that to herself and comes to a shack, where the guard of the theater lives. The theater was roughly restored after the fire and never opened to the public again. Nonetheless, Mela is confident that she will get the key from the guard.

She is about to knock, but the door opens as she raises her hand. A tall girl dressed like a delicate porcelain doll appears behind the door. If Mela hadn't recognized her face, she would have mistaken her for a young lady from a wealthy family.

'Sherry?'

'The guard is inside the room. I'll see you around.'

After saying that, she turns around and leaves. Mela enters the shack doubtfully; the first thing that comes into her sight is the napping guard on the chair. When she realizes that something is wrong, the door behind her is locked.

'The lock is broken. Today is not your day. Why don't you just take a break here? I'll complete the mission for you.'

Leaving Mela banging on the door, Sherry heads to the ruins of the theater. So far, her plan goes as planned. Just the day before, she found the partner of the legendary dancer. The old lady told her the story of a dancer—the talented and hard-working girl was the pillar of the theater. However, she broke her arm and back during a rehearsal and was down in the dumps since then. When everyone thought that she would never get back on the stage, she met a famous doctor, who operated a surgery for her with rare metal so that she could dance again.

When she decided to go back on the stage, the supportive theater owner even borrowed the ancestral gown of his family to her. Even though she was no longer the leading actress, she still shined on the stage as a supporting actress.

After the theater closed down, she left her hometown to continue pursuing her dream as a dancer. A few years later, when she returned to her hometown and saw the ruins of the theater, she couldn't help but lament the impermanence of life and dance again on the dilapidated stage to memorize the past.

Yet, her act was spotted by a passerby who didn't know the story behind it, and was distorted into a spooky urban legend.

Sherry spends some money to get the floor plan of the theater, which allows her to find the location of the garret in the ruins.

She pushes the door open with care. As the rotten door makes a groaning noise, a ray of sunshine shines on the stage, which has been shrouded in the dark for a long time. She makes her way to the dusty backstage with her nose and mouth covered, but what she finds is a rotten staircase which seems to be the only way towards the garret.

Nothing can stop me, she says to herself. Looking around backstage, she finds another staircase that is not mentioned in the floor plan. It looks suspiciously new, but it's still worth a try as long as it's safe.

As she steps down the stairs, she hears someone snickering, which is not a good sign. Suddenly, the front part of the staircase moves magically. Sherry falls down the stairs and lands on a big cushion popped up from the center of the stage.

'Wow! What a marvelous show!'

The laughter of Besan and Best[sic] echoes in a hidden room somewhere in the theater. It seems that they are truly amused by their successful prank.

'Once we get the gown, we'll have more fun with her downstairs. '

'Cool!'

Yet, hearing the response of her sister, Best doesn't make a move. She is planning for something even more fun.

'I heard that this kind of theater usually has a hidden tunnel that connects the stage and basement. If we pull the trigger, Miss Sherry will fall into the basement. Isn't that a great surprise for her?'

'We can't do that. There is no cushion in the basement.'

'Doesn't it sound even better? We're going to see a more interesting reaction!'

Best puts her hand on the trigger while Besan stops her from pulling it. Their quarrel soon turns into a fight. Suddenly, someone falls to the ground and breaks the fragile wooden floor, and it turns out both of them fall onto the clutter in the basement with a tremendous noise.

After a short period of silence, another young lady pushes the entrance door open with great effort. As the sunshine shines into the theater, the face of the lady can be clearly seen. It's Debbie, who is panting with her face all red. It seems that she comes here in a hurry. Trotting all the way to the empty backstage, she is confused by the misplaced staircase, but she still manages to jump over the gap with her eyes closed.

The wooden stairs make a creaking sound, but luckily, nothing bad happens.

'It seems that I have arrived at the mission location safely. But where did everyone go?' Debbie turns around and looks over the place, but no one is there.

'Did I get here too early?'

Debbie keeps her fists clenched. She's a bit nervous about the coming battle with the demon in the legend. But there's nothing to worry about as she is Debbie, the smartest and most knowledgeable girl. She won't be tempted easily.

'Okay. Here I come!'

Then, she pushes the door open.
