As Kiyono Lin's words fell, Dubian Che recited the first line of the script:
"Girl, good morning."
"Good morning, Mr. Demon." Jiutiao Meijie immediately got into character, her tone light and carrying a hint of excitement and anticipation.
"Are you packing your bags? Where are you heading?" Dubian Che asked politely.
"To a place without demons." Jiutiao Meijie paused slightly, the script here stated she should sling her bag over her shoulder, "Goodbye, Mr. Demon."
"Demons will always exist where humans do," Dubian Che said, "Where can you go?"
The girl did not answer, closed the wooden door, and left the demon inside the house.
The girl got up very early, while it was still dim outside; in this secluded suburban town, she was the only one—this was when demons were at their weakest, unable to move quickly.
The girl trekked long distances, avoiding crowds, walking alone in the wilderness.
Every day, as soon as she opened her eyes, the demon was there beside her.
But she didn't care, she had in her hand a map to the end of the world, or more precisely, a way to find the three people 'who knew how to get to the end of the world.'
As long as she located these three individuals, she could get to the world's end, a place unreachable by demons.
The girl braved the winds and the rain, and found the first person.
"Hello, do you know where the end of the world is?"
Xiaoquan Aonai, holding the script, read, "Why do you want to go to the end of the world?"
She tried to inject emotion into her performance, but compared to Jiutiao Meijie's naturalness, it was like a student reciting a text.
"Sorry." she apologized.
"It doesn't matter." Kiyono Lin said indifferently, "The first few times are mainly about going through the motions, feeling things. It's great if we have it, but there's no rush if we don't."
"Understood."
On the other side, Ichiki Aoi let out a sigh of relief.
Jiutiao Meijie was a natural-born actress; even just sitting there, reciting a few lines, gave her the impression of watching a formal performance.
"Everyone, if you think any part of the script should be modified during rehearsals, or if you have better lines, please feel free to speak up," Kiyono Lin said again.
"Okay." People either nodded or replied verbally.
"Let's continue. Start from the girl's 'Hello, do you know where the end of the world is?'"
"Hello, do you know where the end of the world is?" Jiutiao Meijie leaned her head on her hand, casually holding the script, and the words that came out of her mouth perfectly recreated the girl in the script.
"Why do you want to go to the end of the world?"
"There are tales that no demons are there, and I want to go to a place without demons."
"I know one-third of the way there. If you can complete my task, I can tell you."
The girl completed the task.
Before she left, the first person told her, "If you eventually find the end of the world, please come back and tell me."
"If I find it, I will definitely tell you. Thank you for the information, goodbye."
The girl passed the trials of all three individuals, and finally arrived at the Immortal Realm, where fairies lived, and where no demons existed.
The girl and the fairies spent a happy time together, and one day, she remembered her promise and prepared to go back to the first person.
Before she left, a fairy told her, "The demons have noticed your disappearance from the world of men; this time, when you leave, you must not let anyone see you, and you can only pass messages through leaving notes."
If a demon ever found the girl, it would follow her to the Immortal Realm, and there would no longer be a place without demons in the world.
The girl agreed, but for various reasons, the demon eventually found her.
The demon followed her into the Immortal Realm, the fairies scolded the girl and mercilessly exiled her from the Immortal Realm and took the Immortal Realm away from the human world.
Ever since, there was no longer an end of the world in the human realm; demons were everywhere.
This was the original script.
