"So, how do you like my city? The Remote city?" Ryan and Gwen turned around quickly when they heard Satoru behind them.

Gwen let go of Ryan's hand. Ryan turned his head forward, then turned back to Satoru.

"Amazing. This is like, as a new generation development! This is the future. The buildings, shops, robots, the atmosphere is epic too. Just what is this place?"

"Haha! Glad you liked it." Satoru walked past Ryan, "I built this city myself a few years back. Five years to be honest, when  I built this Academy."

"Any story behind it? If you do not mind telling me…"

"Of course. I wanted to live a remote life, away from my wife. That was the reason I built this city." Satoru giggled, "But the amount of money I spent on this was not paying me back. Do you know what I mean? Being alone in this whole city felt like I am in a ghost city."

"I can imagine."

"Only one-third of the city is turned on. The rest of the city's lights and shops were closed. I tried adding robots after a year but it did not help either."

"So you finally had to shut the city down?"

"Hm… this city has been closed for somewhere around three years. I missed it so much."

"What planet is this? Does not anybody else live on this planet? And… I can breath normally."

"You see the city from here?" Satoru pointed his finger down on the big city. 

"Yes."

"Now see around yourself." Ryan did as he was told. He realized he was standing on hills. There was nothing but hills around them. 

"What is this…?"

"The city and the mountains. That is it. That is the whole planet."

"What?!" Ryan exclaimed.

"Yes. the planet ends here. If you climb down the hills and walk around, you will be circling around this small city."

"Amazing…" Ryan glanced all around him. 

"I tried building it as similar as possible as my hometown… Shizuoka." Satoru started getting nostalgic, "Farms, buildings… traditional houses. That old era where the disease had taken all over the world."

'Disease… yeah, I want to know more about this disease. Just what exactly in the period of 2020 to 2025?'

"And… finally… the…" Satoru started raising his hand, Ryan's eye followed his direction, "The 2000 years old Fuji-san." Satoru pointed.

Ryan's eye followed his direction. His eye finally rested on a big peak of a hill which was covered in white… snow maybe.

"What is that? Did you color it?"

"Nope. I did not. After I build this city, I realized there is an active volcano on this planet. We never noticed it. It seemed like any other hills."

"Oh my god…"

"Yeah." Satoru nodded, "Please go ahead and wait for me in the plaza. I will bring everybody behind you," Satoru turned around.

Ryan nodded. He took a look down. There was a black, slanting thing below their feet. 

"I have one question though… Satoru-san,"

"Listening."

"How are you able to open a portal without anyone present here? I mean, you need a portal user to open a portal, right?"

"Whom are you fooling, Ryan-Kun." Satoru looked at Ryan from over his shoulders, "Who else knows better than you about the Vampiric portals? Yeah?"

Ryan's eye went wide, "H– how? It is not possible."

"Everything is possible when you have money and power in your hands. I will share the story with you sometime." he smiled and moved forward, "Look forward for now,"

"What is this–" Before Ryan could complete, he and Gwen were being pulled forward. 

From the escalator-type below their feet, some type of hands came out, they wrapped around Ryan's and Gwen's feet. 

'It feels like nothing!' Ryan was amazed at how soft the white, crystal clear hands were. 

The hands soon molded down and spread across their feet, from knees, like a white opaque class holding their legs, not allowing them to fall forward.

"God, I was scared to death!" Gwen exclaimed, "this is just an escalator!" she sighed. 

Unconsciously, they both were holding hands again.

"Uh, Ryan… unfortunately, I understood nothing from your conversation. But I think it was an important talk. Can you please-"

"Of course. And I will enroll you for the Japanese learning course too." Ryan replied.

"Uhm~" she grunted.

"I am okay with being your translator but what if I am not around and you are in an emergency? Just learn it, it is easy." Ryan assured.

"Uhm. Fine." 

From the portal, students started entering. They landed on the escalator, the white liquid spread over their legs. Satoru was waiting for the right people to arrive.

"Carefully,"

"Hah? I have been pushed through a portal already,"

"Oh, right." Naomi grabbed 'his' hand and climbed inside the portal, through the portal.

Now, these were the people Satoru was waiting for. Naomi stepped out of the portal with him. 

Satoru pulled his smile down, "Oh you two," Satoru pointed, "Come this way." His English accent is not that good.

"Huh?" Devon glanced at Satoru.

"Oh please, wait here. I have something important for you two." Naomi, without any pressure, walked up to her dad. Satoru smiled at her.

He raised his eyes at Devon. It was a sort of glare, "Devon, please." He faked a smile. 

Devon gulped. He stood beside Satoru, on the other side of Satoru.

'Why do I get this vibe from Naomi's father… this uneasy vibe… am I in trouble?'

Devon glanced at Naomi, she glanced back and shrugged.

After the forty students were done coming to the other side, Satoru took a step forward, poked his head through the portal, and ordered.

"Sadako-sensei, please let other teachers come through now. Come, for now, we will explain things to the students and come back to the Academy to shut it down."

"Yes, sir."

Japanese teachers started entering through the portal now. This was their first time seeing something like this. Most of the teachers did not even know something like this existed behind the small counselor's room. 

American teachers passed through the portal too. Brandon had a little chat with Sadako before leaving.

They both entered through the portal at the same time. Satoru was standing there with a smile to greet the great Guardian vampire. 

"Hello, Head General Brandon."

"Ah, sir," Brandon bowed, "It is my pleasure." Brandon replied, "And look at this place, you have surely built an amazing city!" Brandon and Satoru shook hands.

Brandon's eyes fell on Devon. Through their hairband deceive, they communicated.

"I do not know," Devon told Brandon even before asking him. 

"All done, Sadako-sensei?"

"Yes, sir. We are yet to close the rooms. But everyone is here." She replied.

"Cool- uh, thanks. You go ahead, I will close this portal for now." 

"Uh, are we supposed to go now?" Devon asked. 

Naomi glanced at him, she walked up to her father, "Dad, are we supposed to go now? Why did you make us wait here? What is it?"

"Oh calm down, Naomi-chan." Satoru deactivated the portal, "You can leave, Naomi-chan. I want to have a little talk with your friend." Satoru glared at Devon.

'Okay. I am sure. Something is definitely wrong.' He felt a chill again.

"Why but-"

"Just leave, Naomi-chan."

"....okay." she glanced at Devon before leaving, "Nice creation though, dad. Is mom aware of this?"

Satoru smiled, "I would have been dead by now if she finds about this." Satoru smiled sarcastically. With the reason behind building this city, Satomi would definitely kill Satoru.

"Now…" Naomi was sliding down, "Let us have a little talk, vampire boy, Devon Bostick."

'Aah… I knew it.' Devon gulped.
