[Scenario will be starting soon. You have thirty minutes. Please get ready!]
Staring at the floating notification in front of me, I felt at a complete loss.
'Scenario? Why am I suddenly in a scenario? What's going on??'
The last thing I recalled was standing before the painting. That was when my mind blanked. No, wait...
I suddenly recalled the face of the little girl and the hands that reached out for me.
Hastily, I sat up and looked around me.
Could she be...?
"Huh?"
A dull sound escaped my lips.
Not far from where I sat, a mansion rose tall and pale against the soft blue sky, its white walls gleaming under the midday sun. All around me, lush greenery swayed gently, the rough blades of grass grazing my hands and legs as I rested in its midst.
This place...
It looked extremely familiar.
"This is the place within the painting, isn't it?"
