Freedom... //Yakusoku No Neverland

97] The Future We Wish For

I showed Ray and the others what Emma and I found in the pen, of course they were all surprised

"He really did exist" Nat said

"Did Mr. Minerva die?" Alicia questioned

"There's a path..." Lanion paused

"An elevator in a pond...?" Thoma finished

"So, there was a way out of Grace Field, right where we grew up..!" Anna said

"This is amazing..." Don gasped "'The king' 'Supporters' 'Plantation Blueprints' 'LAMBDA Project' 'The 7 walls' And-" He stopped

"Here... There's even a way to contact our "allies". Do you think we'll be able to cross over to the human world if we contact them?" Gilda asked

"So we contact our allies, and then... After we execute our plan to rescue Phil and everyone else at Grace Field, We'd be able to go from Grace Field to the Human World...? If we wanted to, could we enter the human world right now?" Don asked

"We can. But it would be dangerous" Ray said which confused everyone "That Ratri guy. Mr. Minerva's Clan... In return for peace in the Human World... For generations, they've been feeding cattle children to Demons. And of course, the "Traitor" who killed Minerva. That entire clan will never tolerate our freedom" Ray said

"That means..." Thoma paused

"Ratri was the "Traitor" who killed Mr. Minerva. That means we're somehow interfering with their influence" Gilda said

I put my finger up in the air "We can't guarantee our safety... If we leave the situation as it is and flee to the human world, a plantation and its 'Overseer', Fall under the jurisdiction of the Ratri Clan... We don't even know if the human world is aware of us in the first place. Even if we run away, then accepting us would be questionable. Breaking the promise and crossing over. It's likely demons would follow us. And... In the worst case scenario, we would start a war between the two worlds... "I explained

"Please No-"

"We can't secretly flee with such a large number of people... Taking away such a valuable source of food is enough to start a war... I hate war. What we're aiming for is the liberation of Grace Field. Running away without anyone noticing would impossible. I consider everyone I met in Goldy Pond as family. I want to escape without losing a single person. But escaping is not enough. I want everyone to live with a smile. Also... I've been thinking since I got to Goldy Pond. In this world, there are so many children with the same circumstances as us. And loads more that we don't know about. I just can't allow myself to leave them alone. The future I want... It's not just Grace Field. Mister and everyone from Glory Bell, Oliver and everyone from Grand Valley, everyone from GoodWill Ridge too. The mass production farms Sonju told us about, and the new LAMBDA plantation that Adam came from, everything! I want to get rid of it all, to create a world where children aren't eaten. After we create a world where we can't be chased. I want yo escape from the Demon World" Emma explained

"A world where we can't be chased?" Yvette asked

"Yeah... And to that end," Emma answered "I want to search for and discover the "Seven walls", then forge a new promise with The One"

""Seven Walls"..." Dominic mumbled

"Musica mentioned something like that..." Don said

"Sister Krone also said something about that on that night" Gilda added

"A new "Promise"" I said rubbing the back of my neck

""The One" stands at the top of all Demons. At the Seven Walls. If we make a new promise with "The One". We can make a safe world to escape to..?" Lanion said

"But Mr. Minerva never reached the Seven Walls. And he's never met "The One" before either... And what "promise" are we going to make? By what means? What I'm trying to say is... Will it be possible? Don't demons want to eat us humans?" Nat said

"He left us a hint, actually. Look here" I said pointing at a spot the pen was showing

"There was another "Promise" like that..." Ray paused

"What do you mean?" Alicia asked and Ray started explaining

"This goes far back. It's not going to be easy. Or simple in any way. But it's still the option that I want to choose. What does everyone think? Now you know the risks, will you all come along?" Emma asked every one else

We all nodded, of course

"What are you talking about!"

"Of course we're coming"

"Let's find the seven walls!"

"Yeah!!!"

"Splendid!" I said clapping my hands together "In that case, this plan has 5 stages. Contact our "allies". Find the "Seven walls". Meet "The One". Forge a new promise. And after returning to pick Phil and everyone cross over to the human world"

I smiled turning to the others, excited for the adventure ahead at the same a bit frightened, what if we lose more comrades?

"And you're planning to do this in no more than 2 years?" Ray asked Emma

"Yes, indeed!" Emma said

"First though, we should decide if we want to contact our allies" Ray said

Emma grabbed my hand and began running to the door "Hold up. Mister... Y/n and I want to talk to Yugo and everyone else and ask them what they want to do"

Emma bumped into something making me stumble back a bit

"There's no need"

"Sounds great, right? A world without cattle children. Let's give it a try" Yugo said

"I'm in!" Nigel said with a huge smile, he was behind Yugo and was with Violet and Theo

"Me, as well" Violet said

"Me too" Theo said

"Here" Yugo said handing me fruits from outside

"D-Did you go outside?" I asked

"We brought in fruits from the forest" Violet said

"... Then it's okay?" Emma asked

"Yugo, Lucas, and all the other farm children, you don't want to escape to the human world first?" Emma added

"That'd be tough. And it'd put a life or two at risk right?"Yugo said

"I agree! Running away first is not what I want to do" Theo said

"Sorry to disappoint" Nigel added

"This time, let's get stronger together" Violet said with a smile

"You said your take me with you to the human world, right?" Yugo smirked

"I'll follow Emma and Y/n anywhere. That's what everyone is thinking" Lucas said

We told all of Oliver's comrades

{Phil... Wait for us. Musica, wish me luck!}
