[Ace POV],

\'Who are the primordials really?\'

This was the thought that kept running through my mind after seeing the term \'Primordial\' and the scroll\'s grade.

Something was clearly going on, but I was too ignorant about the subject and lacked any clues or hints to piece things together.

Perhaps I\'m overthinking things and this is just a treasure map of some sort, given the map and the content of the scroll, but something kept telling me it wasn\'t.

And why did Emma get this mysterious scroll?

Was it a coincidence, or did the primordial chronicle deem her worthy?

Was she the only one with this kind of scroll?

Primordial.

Primordial Chronicle.

Primordials.

These three appear to have something in common, but either I\'m not seeing it or I\'m wasting my time.

It\'s only been a day, but things that were beginning to make sense to me have now become perplexing.

Emma spoke as she drew me out of my thoughts.

"So, how do you feel about what you just witnessed?" She inquired as she returned to taking a seat on the rock, before turning to face me and waiting for a response.

When I saw this, I paused for a moment before responding.

"It\'s mysterious for sure, and appears to be clouded in some kind of mist," I said, taking a deep breath of fresh air and looking at the sun slowly rising in the distance before speaking again.

"What are your thoughts on this?" I asked, recalling Emma\'s first words before the scroll event.

Hearing this, Emma responded, "It\'s quite simple," she said, adding, "that\'s why I asked you if I could ask a question."

I spoke up when I heard this.

"What is it?" I inquired.

"When I first got the scroll in our world, there was nothing special about it other than what I just showed you, but after we came to the true world, I felt a reaction from the scroll," she said, pausing before continuing.

"So, I was wondering if you could assist me with something."

"With what?"

"This"

Emma removed her robes and showed me her back after saying this.

Perhaps if I had behaved like other boys my age, I would have been stimulated, but the fact was that I felt no reaction and my attention was elsewhere.

Her back had a tattoo of it.

Her back was covered in dense magic circles, with a cross in the center surrounded by chains.

"Am I the only one who has seen this?" I inquired, wondering if Anna had noticed this since they had bathed together.

Emma did not respond to me as I was thinking this, but her actions did, as the tattoos on her back vanished and she spoke.

"It only takes a little mana to hide it," she explained, pulling her robe back to cover her back.

When I saw this, I asked a question.

"From where did you get it?" I inquired because it was obvious that a tattoo that could be concealed with mana was not normal.

"I got it right after I came into contact with the scroll," she replied, as I realized something I had overlooked from the start.

"Does this have anything to do with why you wanted to team up with me?" I inquired as Emma\'s expression abruptly changed as she spoke quickly.

"N-no m-my intentions have always been pure," she said as she suddenly took hold of my hand and spoke again.

"It\'s true, I swear. This matter was only revealed to you because I had no other option and thought you might be able to assist because it seemed like a good idea ", she said as she continued to try to persuade me before I interrupted her by speaking.

"Why do you make such an effort for me?" I inquired because I was genuinely interested in what was going on.

Emma, like Anna and Chris, clearly wanted to team up with me.

Then there was Mia, who was getting close.

It was like there was something about me that kept attracting them.

It was very perplexing.

Emma\'s dependence on me cannot be understood in the same way that Anna, Chris, and Mia\'s are.

Emma responded to my question as I was thinking about these things.

"I-i d-don\'t k-know," she replied in broken English.

I spoke up when I saw this.

"You know I can tell you\'re lying," I said as Emma\'s body shook slightly as she tried to speak several times to respond to me but couldn\'t seeing as she kept opening and closing her mouth.

When I saw this, I knew I wouldn\'t get an answer, so I changed the topic.

Emma hasn\'t shown any signs of malice, but I should be cautious around her just in case.

After all, she was stronger than me.

It was because of her weakness in close combat I could only match her in strength.

As I reflected on this, Emma and I talked a little more about the scroll content and her tattoos.

Because it dealt with a mysterious aspect of our new world, my interest in everything about it was intense.

And because I didn\'t feel any malice toward Emma while she was acting suspicious, my attitude toward her didn\'t change much, and I even became more curious about her.

Despite the fact that everything I was starting to understand became confusing again in an instant, primarily due to her, I tried to talk more with Emma in order to gain some sort of clue from her words, which unfortunately did not happen.

It was cool, but I began to think of Emma as a research project that I needed to complete.

Interesting.

I had to end the conversation because we both needed to take a bath and leave.

So I bathed in the waterfall before she did, and then I made my way to the bronze door that would take me to the surface.
