Scene – Lal, Hima, and the army stand before a forest. In front of them is an entry gate leading to a portal, guarded by goblins.
The army and buggy stop.Koshi: Princess, we've arrived.Hima: So this is Secret Sky?Koshi: No, Princess. This is the Green Land Forest. The Secret Sky City lies within.Hima: I see.
Ruyo approaches the guards. There are three of them.Ruyo: We've come from the Eluto Kingdom's palace. The Princess is inside this buggy. We need to enter.Guard 1: Do you have an entry pass?Ruyo: Entry pass? What's that?Guard 1: Those with permission to enter or leave hold a special card. If you have it, you can use this portal to reach Secret Sky. If not…Ruyo: If not?Guard 1: Then you must go through the forest, avoiding monsters and beasts, and find the Secret Sky on your own.Ruyo: We don't have a card.Guard 1: Then sorry, you'll have to go through the jungle—if you still wish to enter.Ruyo: But the Princess of Eluto Kingdom is with us! If something happens to her—?!Guard 1: These are the rules here. If you have complaints, take them to the King, Queen, or the leaders. Otherwise… leave. Or I'll be forced to attack. (serious tone)Ruyo: Tsk… okay.
Ruyo returns to the buggy.Lal: What happened, Captain?Ruyo: Princess, I'm sorry. We can't pass. Without permission, we'll have to go through the forest.Koshi: Didn't you tell them the Princess is here?Ruyo: I did, but they said "rules are rules."Hima: I see… so we have no choice but to go through the forest.Ruyo: Hmm.Lal: Wait. I can do something. I can directly teleport everyone inside Secret Sky.Hima: Really?! (shocked and excited)Ruyo: You can do that?! (shocked)Lal: It's one of my skills. Everyone, get ready.
Lal closes his eyes. A golden glow appears, then vanishes with a crackling sound.Koshi: Huh? What happened?Lal: I… can't use my skill. Looks like there's a barrier.Hima: Makes sense. This is Secret Sky. Not just anyone can enter so easily.Lal (thinking): I never imagined my skill could be blocked… Does this mean I'm not as powerful as I thought? I can create any skill I want, but still couldn't crack this barrier… Tsk!
Lal: Wait. I'll get us permission.Ruyo: What? I already told them the Princess is with us, and they refused. What can you do?Lal: Just watch.
Lal walks toward the guards.Lal (thinking): I'll just use my skill to get permission. Simple. (overconfident)
Lal: Hello.Guard 1: Hello.Lal: I need to enter Secret Sky.Guard 1: Do you have a pass?Lal: No.Guard 1: Then you can't go in. Sorry.Lal: Skill—Hypno.
All the guards are hypnotized by Lal.Lal: Can I enter without a pass?Guard 1: Of course.Lal: Hnn. (smirks lightly)Lal: Okay, everyone come. The guards agreed.Ruyo, Koshi, Hima: What?! (shocked)
Everyone approaches. Lal steps in first—but the moment he touches the portal, he's shocked violently.Lal: Aahhh! Ssshh!Hima: Lal! What happened?! (tense)
Hima and Koshi are still inside the buggy.Lal: I… got shocked.Lal (thinking): Even though I have a pain-killer skill, I still took damage! I can't enter… Just how powerful are this kingdom's King and Queen?!
Lal: Looks like we'll have to take the forest route.Ruyo: Didn't I tell you already?The group begins moving into the forest.
Lal: …Yeah, I messed up. Sorry.
