The Soul Labyrinth

The figure was small, had reflective silver hair with some neon green streaks. He had pitch black and wide eyes.
“H-Hello…” the small figure said nervously, smiling as he did.

Tolkalee turned around and waved. "Hey Dakota, we are here to finish this and go home," he explained casually.
"No, you're here to finish this and go home, I'm here to keep you alive," Seth corrected him.

"Hi!" Hinata smiled at the figure.
(Altrince is this who I think it is)

“Makes sense” Dakota smirked. “Anyways, where are you two going? Downstairs or up?” He asked, having both his hands behind his back.

(I would think so)
The figure was shaking a little, he seemed to be nervous around Hinata or just strangers in general.
“I’m sorry, I don’t usually talk to strangers” the figure said with high speed and bowed once, apologetically.

"We were headed down to try and find Hinata before we leave," Tolkalee explained.
"But we ran into an ice berg along the way," Seth finished.
Tolkalee looked at him for a moment. "You had to use that?"
"Yes, I did, and you know it."

“I’m gonna guess that there’s a joke I don’t get here… but I won’t question it. I’m going down as well so I guess I’ll tag along a little” Dakota shrugged as he said the last part.

"It's okay, I understand." Hinata smiled kindly and bowed in return.
"I'm Hinata."

“I-I…I…uh…” he struggled to get the words out. “I-I…I’m Declan… Declan Easton… host of Reality Hacker…” he slowly introduced himself.

"Well, it's very nice to meet you Declan." Hinata smiled again.

Declan stepped back slightly. He nervously smiled at Hinata and sighed to himself.
“N-N-…uh……” he zoned out a little “Nice to meet you, too…!!” He tried to keep it calm but ended up making it even weirder.

Hinata smiled, holding in a laugh.

Sebastian noticed the new figure and walked towards them.
“Speak of the angel, this is Declan Easton, the one I talked about earlier. He can be extremely nervous around… well, everyone, so give him some space when needed” Sebastian explained, patting the kid’s head. The figure looked down at the ground and flushed out of nervousness.

"I understand completely." Hinata smiled again.
(Adorableeeeeeeeee)

Tolkalee shook his head slightly. "Sure, it's okay with me if you tag along," he said turning to Dakota.
Seth smiled. "Oh, I'm sorry, my name's Seth Dentialgo, Wild Warrior of the North."

(I intended this, suffer from Declan’s adorableness)

Gavin and Evan ran over to Declan and grabbed him by his hands. Evan got Declan’s right arm while Gavin got his left.

Declan hesitantly looked up and smiled at them, shaking. “Wh-What are you two doi—AHHHH!!!” Declan got pulled by Evan and Gavin, they were planning to have Declan play with them somewhere away from Hinata and Sebastian.

Sebastian smirked.
“These kids…” he smiled with calmness. “If Jonathan was here, I’m sure this would no longer be an Arena, it will be a school and we would be the homeroom teachers” he snorted at his thought, thinking of Hinata in a teacher outfit.

The viscount nodded and faintly smiled.
“Dakota Azure, one of the viscounts of the Labyrinth and the host of Bouquet of Blue” he introduced himself, bowing slightly.

"They're hecking adorable." Hinata beamed.

Singing voices came from the hallways near Hinata and Sebastian. There wasn’t one voice but rather two voices. They were doing a duet in… Japanese. Their voices fit each other perfectly; one with a low pitch who acted as the harmony and one with a high pitch who acted as the melody most of the time. They were both males, this was clear when the chorus dropped.

(_{Senbonzakura intensified as I wrote this…})

Hinata looked up when she heard the singing.
_{(Did you just…)}

( _{Yes… Yes I did and I’m not ashamed about it…} )

Sebastian turned to the dark hallways.
“Why is my English translator not working…” he tried to see if his feature was broken or not.

Hinata turned to Sebastian.
"Need some help?"

“Very much if possible…” he got out a small chip from behind his neck and started checking it, waiting for Hinata’s response.

Hinata looked at it silently, analyzing.

While Hinata and Sebastian were doing that, the two figures walked out of the shadows. One had a black and red yukata on with a white fox mask hanging on the left side of his head. The other figure had a white and green yukata on with a black fox mask as well but hanging on the right side of his head.

“Something tells me that you were listening to us… right?” The black dressed figure asked while the white dressed one turned to Hinata. The fox masks covered parts of their faces but their smiles were still visible.

Hinata looked up.
"Yes. It was quite beautiful." She smiled absentmindedly. She was still thinking about Sebastian's translator.

The two figures looked at each other and laughed a little.
“We were still practicing that one”
“Yeah…”
Sebastian’s translator didn’t really have anything wrong with it, it was just bugged out a little.

Jonathan smiled and shrugged.
“It just kinda happened miss…” he yawned.

Hinata, after being satisfied looking at Sebastian's translator, turned her full attention to the two new figures.

Tolkalee looked to the stairs. "Shall we get going before something else shows up to play?" he gave a knowing grin to Seth.
"You did not just go there," Seth looked at him.
"Why do you not like clowns again?" Tolkalee turned and began walking towards the stairs.
"I don't know, maybe because I was almost gutted by like three, while strapped to a table like Frankenstein," Seth snapped. He started towards the stairs as well. Tolkalee seemed like a whole different person, he was making jokes and smiling, something about Seth being there made him feel comfortable.

The two figures both bowed.
“Greetings, I am Alvin Robin, the host of Scarlet Lotus” the black clothed figure stated.
“And I’m Kurt White, the host of Bamboo Garden” the white clothed figure continued.
“And we are the representative of the Fourth Generation of Knights” they said in unison.

Dakota walked right behind them.
“You know… it’s actually near Christmas time for us. It’s only five days here ‘til that will come” he brought up. “Would you two be free to join the party we’re hosting then?” He asked, wanting an affirmative response though he knew it was unlikely.
