Gelyan tells Neraine to accept their help, but she refuses. /begindialogueEmi: What's that?Sisi: A girl!...and a boy!?Neraine: Ugh!!Gelyan: Another monster!Emi: EY!! Do you need help?!Neraine: No.Emi: ...Emi: I was just saying.Neraine: Well, I really don't need your help.

Let's not fight each OTHER, yeah?/enddialogueNeraine and Gelyan fight this mob alone. Sisily and Emi only watch. As soon as the fight is over, Sisily is amazed by the fact that Nera has a tarot. Sisily tells her she has one too, and then the children realize that they all come from the real world. Gelyan says he is sad because he doesnt have one, but the truth is that he has been hiding his all along.Emi then, fills the children in on the current phantasia situation. Sisily asks for their help. Gelyan says ok, but Neraine is reluctant at first. /begindialogueSisi: WHOA. You have...a helping ghost!Nera: Helping ghost?Sisi: Yeah, the pretty lady who helped you while you fought.Neraine: You...have one too?Sisily: Yeah.Gelyan: Wait, you both have those things and I don't?

You're not...from here?Gely: We're not either. I mean...this world. I'm from London, anyway.Sisi: I'm from New York...Nera: Hmmm. Interesting. So what are you doing with HER here? Is she not from this world too?Emi: Direct the questions to ME. And no, I am from this...village. I don't know what you mean by WORLD. Are you mocking ME?Nera: ...Sisi: Uhhh. I got lost, so Emi helped me. Now I'm helping Emi because her world is in grave danger.Neraine: Danger??Emi: There's a kind of flower called phantasia in our realm, that collects energy from the sun allowing the ice beneath your feet to remain solid and not liquify. Well, somebody's been stealing all the phantasia, even the ones that my friend Shackpot has been breeding as emergency energy supply.Sisi: If we don't find the phantasia...Emi's home is in big trouble!Neraine: I see...well...I...Sisi: Please, help us! I mean, we can continue traveling together since you don't really know where you're going...right??Gelyan: She does have a point there.

Those are like the invincible vines of doom or something!Neraine: Hmmm. I guess the only way to do this is by back-tracking our steps.

If you beat her, then I doubt she'll do us the favor of taking her giant ugly vines OFF our entrance.Gelyan: She wasn't that bad. She was just confused. I bet she'll help us.Sisi: Ok, then.

Sisily agrees to see "these honey bearoneys". The children go to the coloro:#ff0000/coloroHoney Bearoney Nestcolorc/colorc and ask the bearoneys for their honey.

Emi once again, is angry because now the vines are not only bigger but stronger. Emi and Neraine get into an argument about the situation and Sisily tries to stop them from fighting. Sisily then, says that perhaps the honey which the queen is referring to is not honey as in coloro:#006400/colorohoneycolorc/colorc from the bearoneys but honey as a prince. She says that usually in fantasy stories, the princess sleeps and waits for her prince charming to come and wake her up. Everyone laughs at this silly idea, but since they have nothing to lose, they agree to gather more information about the queen and her past. /begindialogueEmi: !!!Emi: NOW WHAT!?Gelyan: Uh-uh...that wasn't supposed to happen.Sisi: Really? It's kind of cool, though.Nera: ...Bean: H-honey...honey...Emi: She says 'honey'! What 'honey'!! This is irritating and time consuming.Sisi: Maybe she means honey prince, honey!Nera: What? That's ridiculous. How can you come up with a conclusion like THAT?Gely: She might be onto something. I mean, it is logical if you think about it. In old fairytale stories, the sleeping princess waits for the prince to come and wake her up with a kiss.Emi: Gelyan, this is a bean. Not a princess!Gelyan: I know, I know. But considering that the laws of reality do not apply in this...world. Perhaps, then, following this weird fairytale pattern we can conclude that the honey which the bean is speaking of, IS indeed a prince charming.Neraine: I guess it's worth a short investigating. Besides, we're at a dead end now so...Sisi: Yay!Emi: Ugh. Fine. But let's hurry. The destruction of my homeland is obviously not going to wait for us.Nera: I wish you'd stop saying that.

Besides, you're making it worse by feeding into her innocent act.Emi: Sisily is not acting innocent.Sisi: Hey, don't fight! It's okay, Emi. Nera is just stressed.Nera: I'm not stressed.

He didn't come today to pick up the soil for the phantasia. Mrs. Tulip: Could you give this to him? Emi: Sure. Thanks. Mrs. Tulip, do you know anything about a queen bean by any chance? Mrs. Tulip: Hmm. I've heard stories about a maiden who was a bean. But I don't remember much because I was so young. I'm sorry. Emi:Oh, ok. Thanks. Gelyan: A maiden who was a bean? Neraine: I...am confused. Sisily: Me too. /enddialogue /begindialogue Ms. Charlotte: Oh, hello there Emi! Emi: Hi Ms. C! Have you ever heard of the bean queen by any chance? Ms. Charlotte: Oh, why yes, my dear. It's an old folktale of ours. Sisi: Folktale? Ms. Charlotte: Yes. Oh my, are these your friends? Would you like some cookies? Sisi: Yes, yes!! Gelyan: I'd l-l... Emi: Umm, no. We're ok, Ms. Charlotte. Would you tell us about this folktale? Neraine: ... Ms. Charlotte: Sure, my dear. Ms. Charlotte: It goes something like this: Long time ago, there was a poor shoemaker in the land who had no wife, nor kids. He was all alone. One day he went out into Eden Forest for some wood and found a bean. The bean started speaking to the shoemaker, who was very surprised that the bean could talk at all. Sisi: Wait!! The bean could talk? Emi: Shhh. Continue, please. Ms. Charlotte: Very well. So the bean and the shoemaker talked and became friends. And the shoemaker was very happy you see, because now he had a friend. But eventually the bean had to go home because, you see...she was really a princess...and her stepmother had turned her into a bean. If she didn't go back home, her stepmother would get very angry. So, the bean and the shoemaker said goodbye and they parted. Gelyan: Did they ever see each other again? Ms. Charlotte: Well, you can ask Mr. Petto. I believe my cookies will burn if I continue the story. Besides, he knows it better than I do. Good bye, children! The children eventually go find Mr. Petto. /begindialogue Mr. Petto: How can I help you today? Neraine: Hello, Mr. Petto. We come from Ms. Charlotte's house...she said you could tell us the ending of the story of the bean queen and the shoemaker? Mr. Petto: Oh, but it's just an old story. Why would you wanna know? Emi: Please, Mr. Petto. We want to know! Mr. Petto: Very well, what was the last thing she told you about the story? Gelyan: That...the shoemaker and the bean said goodbye after they met at Eden Forest. Mr. Petto: Oh, ok. Umm...ok. I believe that the shoemaker went to the hall of frozen thrones and got a a little piece of a mirror. With that he went home and worked all night to make a crystal shoe for the bean. The next day when he returned, the bean wasn't there but he found a pot of honey where the bean had been. He took it home. Alone again, and sad...he created with the wood from Eden Forest a puppet like friend for himself. He poured the honey on it and it is said...that the honey was magical because the puppet became alive. After that, it is assumed that the shoemaker died, but not before telling his puppet the story about the bean and the crystal shoes. It is said that the puppet is still alive to this day, and he is trying to find his father's friend to give him the shoes that he made for her. Neraine: Oohh. Emi: ... Gelyan: What's wrong, Emi? Emi: Nothing. Sisi: Emi...don't we know a pupp-... Emi: EHEM. Ok. Thanks Mr. Petto. Nera: Wait. Mr. Petto, why would the puppet just look for the bean queen just to give her the shoes? Mr. Petto: Well, it is said that the puppet fell in love with the maiden in his father's stories. And he owes his life to her, since the honey she left was magical. He was given a heart from that honey, you know...and a life...so I guess he owes his whole being to her. Sisi: Ooh, that is so lovely. Emi: ... Gelyan: Wait. Then, is this puppet still alive??Mr. Petto: It seems that certain people in the village have seen him around, so yes...I believe he is still alive. But I heard that this puppet doesn't really look like a puppet. Neraine: Ok. Thanks Mr. Petto. Mr. Petto: No problem, children. Now take care. /enddialogue The children move back to the village to where Shackpot is and ask him about the magical honey. Shackpot tells the children that there are magical items in this world such as the phantasia and that anything can be possible. Emi looks troubled, and Neraine knows that Emi is hiding something.

Neraine asks Pino if the story is true. And Pino says that he has changed and he is no longer looking for the bean queen as the story says. Emi asks Pino why he never told her about the bean queen and Pino responds saying that if the children don't stop investigating the phantasia incident that they will get hurt. Neraine tells Emi to wake up, that the reality is that Pino is probably working for this "man" that she had previously heard was getting the phantasia. Emi tells Neraine to stop assuming things and to leave them alone. Pino then, orders the yeti to attack the kids. Emi is too shocked to fight. Sisily, Neraine and Gelyan engage in battle. After the battle, Pino is severely wounded. He explains that he is sorry and that he didn't mean for any of this to happen. He explains that he had to use the yeti to move unnoticed between the villagers. He tells them that if he didn't bring all the phantasia to the "man" that the "man" would never return to him the crystal shoes that his father had made for the bean queen. This is when the kids, learn about "the man's" plan to use the phantasia as a method to create instability in this realm and destroy it. Pino also explains that Reciful promised to return the shoes to him once he completed his part. Reciful also said he'd turn him into a real boy, so that when he meets the bean queen he'd be handsome.

Neraine and the kids promise to beat this "man" and bring his crystal shoes. Sisily tells Pino that the shoes are not important and that the bean queen is waiting for him to wake her up from her slumber. Neraine agrees, and says that it doesn't matter if Pino is human. She continues to say that the bean queen was Pino's father's friend not because he was rich or poor, but because of the person he was. She left him a precious gift of life with the magical honey, and it is time the honey goes back to the original owner. Pino agrees to see the bean queen and they all go to Eden Forest. At the forest, Pino begins to have second thoughts. Emi finally comes out of her shock and tells Pino to be a man. Pino reluctantly agrees and kisses the bean. The bean then wakes up. She then tells Pino that she has been waiting for "her honey" to come back to her. Pino is still sad about the missing pair of crystal shoes her father made for her. Emi gets angry that the "man" stole all the phantasia and on top of that used her friend to do it through cohersion. Neraine tells Emi that she will help her at all costs because she hates people who use other people's misfortunes to their advantage. Emi and Neraine now become good friends.

/sizeoSequence 10: The meeting.sizec/sizec Emi, Sisi and the gang get to the hall. By then, Reciful is waiting for them. He tells them that his true meaning is to destroy this realm so the real world can be saved. Neraine refuses to destroy someone else's home for the sake of her own. Reciful tells the kids that it was his plan to bring them to this world so that they could help him with the plans. He blames Emi saying that she manipulated the children to save her homeland. Sisily defends Emi, saying that Emi is too nice of a person and that she cares about everyone in the village. Neraine defends her now too, friend saying that the real manipulator is none other than Reciful. Gelyan asks Reciful why he would use Pino when he thinks he is so powerful and all that. Reciful replies with a smirk, and answers that he has much more complicated tasks than the mundane jobs that he asked Pino to do. And besides, Pino had to work in payment of his father's wrongdoing. He had taken a piece of a frozen mirror years ago, and used the magical mirror piece to make crystal shoes. Emi asks Reciful to give the crystal shoes back, but Reciful refuses. While they are discussing the issue of destroying the bridge to the real world, a mob of green lizards enter the hall through one of the mirrors. The children engage in battle. All the while, Reciful is looking at them battle. He says that they have truly become stronger and that he will eventually need their help to close down the bridge. The kids reluctantly agree with the condition that Reciful keep the iceland intact and that he do not destroy the realm but just the portals connecting the real world to the fantasy world. Sisily doesn't want to do it because it means that she will never be able to see Emi and Shackpot again. Neraine is annoyed by Sisi's crying. She tells Reciful that they will only help destroy the bridge if he keeps his part of the deal - which is to not touch the iceland. Reciful tells them that he would have nothing to gain. So he says he'll take ALL the phantasia in the land as payment. Emi tells him that if he does that then, the iceland will melt and everyone will die. Reciful says that he will do everything in his power to keep the iceland intact, but that the phantasia are needed to destroy the bridge. Reciful needs this energy because the creator is too poweful, and alone he cannot do it. Which is also why he needs to help of the three children. Neraine says that they won't help then, until he promises he won't be harming the iceland. Also, he has to return the shoes to Pino. Reciful says that the shoes are too valuable since they possess a chunk of magical crystal. This crystal reflects all curses or magic, making it neutral. Sisi then comes to the conclusion that perhaps these shoes could return the bean queen to her normal maiden state. Neraine agrees and they try to convice Reciful by telling him that they will not join him if he does not return the shoes. Reciful finally agrees, and manipulates the children to walk into different portals, telling them that each mirror will take them back to their homes. The children say goodbye to Emi, who teary eyed admits that she was beginning to like the idea of having friends. Reciful hands over the shoes to Emi. Neraine waves at her and walks into a mirror. So do Sisi and Gelyan. Then, the kids walk into three different mirrors and Reciful disappears into sp

Epilogue. The children will not be able to know if Reciful kept part of the deal. But in the end, there will be a clip where the iceland is shown, and a whole year has gone by. Emi is fishing near a river full of flowers. Shackpot will come with a lunchbox and they will have a short conversation. The conversation will explain that the phantasia all disappeared, and the iceland did melt, but thanks to the children making Reciful keep his end of the deal the land became soil again and the villagers no longer need to hunt for the phantasia. The yeti have gone back to their regular rituals, except that instead of phantasia, the females like shiny gemstones. They are later joined by Pino, and his beautiful maiden queen wife. Behind the river stands the hall of mirrors, but the hall itself was destroyed so no one can ever use the bridges again. Only a monument stands, of three children holding a phantasia in each hand.
