"Please don't tell Mom that we sneaked at the library," I gently asked Emma. She glanced back at me. "Ray won't read me a story if Mom found out," I said while fiddling my tiny hands.

"I-I'll try to do it, but do you really like Ray?" Emma asked me, "I mean you're too good for him and you're still a child, maybe you can find someone else when you grow up?" Emma tried to persuade me.

I giggled at her cuteness. This is why I like Emma the most.

"Hmm, I like Ray," I replied. I smirked when Ray flinched. "But I like Emma the most! Do you like Conny as well?" 

"Yes! Of course, I like Conny as well~ She's really really cute," She while pinching my cheeks. "I think we should be together more than Ray, right? right? How about I read you some books tomorrow?"

"Uhuh!"

"Can you please stop talking? Everyone's asleep, are you going to wake them up?" Ray told us. 

"Don't mind him, Conny," Emma said to me.

Emma and Ray stopped walking when we reached our room. Ray turned to Emma, "Go away Emma," He suddenly said. "Give me Conny."

"What? no!"

"Don't tell me you're going to sleep here?" He opened his arms as if asking Emma to give me to him. "I am a prince, right Conny? A prince should carry the princess instead of the fairy godmother"

I almost choked when he said that. He only raised his brows at me.

Geez, he is attacking me back.

In the end, Emma couldn't do anything and gave me to Ray. Her eyes were clearly glaring at Ray when she did that. 

Ray waved his hands, "Go away and sleep, Bye," With resentment in her eyes, Emma left us to go back to her room.

"Bye Emma," I said gently. I waved my hands at her and she glanced back at me.

"Bye, see you later--" Emma didn't finish her words when Ray opened the door and entered. 

He quickly puts me down while glaring at me. "You really know how to play this game huh?" he said as he turned around. "I still won't help you."

"Oi--"

A frown appeared on my face when he laid on his bed.

Stubborn brat! I'll force you if you don't want to!

CLANG!

I and the other kids were startled when Emma placed the plates on the table. Her eyes were glaring at Ray who took a few steps backward when he saw her.

Don and I glanced at each other.

"Good morning Conny!" Emma shouted. She went in my direction and pulled me beside her seat, away from Ray and Norman who are sitting on the other side. "Let's seat here, don't bother them okay? You should stay beside them me."

"Eh...?" I reacted. I glance at Don who was dumbfounded when Emma took me away. "Is Emma mad?" I acted. I hugged the bunny in my hands tightly. "Don't be angry."

But Emma only glared at Ray. 

That's right! Glare at that brat! 

I took a deep sigh as I glanced at the two boys on the other side. Ray is frowning while Norman looks confused, staring at me and Emma. 

"Why are you angry?" Gilda suddenly appeared before Emma. Emma glanced at Gilda, she immediately placed her hands at her shoulder. With a surprised reaction, Gilda uttered, "Emma?"

"I-I'm not angry, I just had a nightmare," Emma explained to Gilda. She pulled Gilda's hand and whispered something to her. "It's the worst nightmare I've ever had," Then Emma acted shivered while she's saying that.

"Eh? What nightmare? Is it scary?" Gilda asked her.

I secretly made a face when Emma squeezed Gilda's face with both of her hands. "What will you do if a prince suddenly took Conny and marry her?" Emma said in a low tone. "Gilda, we won't let Conny be taken away right?"

Gilda blinked for a moment.

I, who was merely sitting beside Emma twitch my lips.

"W-whaaat?" Gilda reacted.

"We. won't. let. her. to. be. taken. away. right?" Emma asked her.

"Yes! We won't," Gilda said. "But why are you...?"

I am startled when Emma hits the table. "I will read Conny books about bad marriage!" She announced. 

I almost choked from my seat when she said that. 

"Pffft," 

Emma glared at the boys who were trying not to laugh.

Geez! Kids are truly funny!

As usual, after eating breakfast we are bound to take a daily test. Today I made my score a little bit higher than usual. Ray and Norman got a perfect score while Emma got a 276 on her test result.

I was on my way to the library but I suddenly felt someone tugging my clothes.

"Conny," A cute little voice called me. My heart almost stopped when I saw Phil's cuteness. Being cute should be a sin! Wait I am cute as well so never mind.

"Phil~," I said in a surprised tone. I tried my best to stop my fingers from pinching him. "What is it, Phil?" I asked him. My eyes went to his hands who were holding a bunny hairband.

"You forgot it," he said in a shy tone. My eyes went wide when I remembered something. I put my bunny hairband on Phil's head on the day when I won the game of tag. I forgot to get it from him.

"Oh! Thank you, I almost forgot about it," I said while scratching my head. I immediately bend my body down. "Can you put it for me?" I said, Phil was surprised at first but he cutely nodded his head. 

He carefully placed the bunny hairband on my head. 

Aaah! This is an honor! 

I've always wanted to do this with Phil when I was still Y/N. 

After placing the hairband on my head I quickly attacked him with a hug, the baby was surprised at first but he hugged me back. When we parted I saw that his cheeks turned red.

I want to pinch him AHHH!

"Thank you, Phil~," Then I gently patted his head. "You took care of Mom's gift for me, I can really trust Phil!" I stated as I gave him a cheerful smile. 

"Y-you're welcome," Phil uttered. 

I suddenly stopped when I remembered something. In the Anime series 'The Promised Neverland', Phil was described as a smart and observant boy, he is truly wise despite his age.

If I trusted him with that notebook, there is a chance that he might hide it without any anomaly. That notebook is truly important. I recorded my hidden knowledge about this world in case of an emergency.

I bet no one would easily suspect him if I made him hide it.

The letters on that book are also coded, I have to gamble it.

"Since I know that I can trust Phil, can you do something for me?" I asked. Phil raised his head. "You should keep it a secret between us okay?"

"I can't tell anyone?" He asked and I nodded my head. 

"Yes, No one should know about it. Not even Mom or Ray or Emma or Norman or anyone," I said. I gently took his hand and took him to my room. "I will give you my diary," I whispered to him while walking. "You should take care of it for me, okay?"

"Diary?" Then he tilted his head.

"It's a notebook where I put my secrets, can I trust you with that?" I asked. When we entered the room, I quickly took out the book where I recorded my secret knowledge. "This is my diary, you should hide it for me because I will give it as a gift for someone. Can you hide it for me?" I asked

"Yes!" Phil nodded his head immediately. 

"Yey! Good!" I cheered. I pinched his cheeks gently as I handed him the book. "You're truly amazing and cute! I want to hug you more," I said.

"Me too..." He said. While hugging the book in his hands. "I am happy that Conny became a cheerful person!" He said. I became surprised when I said that.

Kid, I am jealous of your intelligence but you're so cute ack!

"Phil," I said gently, not intending to scare him. "This notebook is really important to me, but if I suddenly got adopted, give this to Ray, Norman, or Emma. Okay?"

"Why?" He tilted his head. I quickly hugged him again and kissed him on his cheeks. I put my hands on his cheeks as I smiled at him.

"Inside of that book, is a gift okay? You can hide it anywhere you want! But don't let anyone see it cause it's a surprise!" I said. I noticed that his eyes twinkled when I uttered the word 'Surprise'.

"I trust you!" 

I truly trust you. So, please keep it safe because this will save you if the worst of worse came.
