Kotori and her party tensed, ready for the spirit in front of them to attack.

“We can’t win” Kotori whispered to Amelie.

This only made Amelie’s expression stiffen further.

The man gave them a discerning gaze.

“Hmm, you wouldn’t even be fun to play with. Come, the lady wants to see you.” He turned around and started walking down the hallway.

Kotori and her party lowered their guard

[Eh? He’s not going to fight us. He even called us weak!] Although Kotori was relieved that they were not going to fight the imposing man she was unsure of how to feel about the fact that he was dismissing them did sting a little.

He spoke in a polite but passive-aggressive tone that got on Kotori’s nerves.

“Umm, Kotori should we be following him?” Amelie asked.

“I don’t think we have much of a choice,” Kotori said grimly

Amelie nodded in agreement and they began to follow the man.

They walked down the quiet hallways following the butler. It was a pretty long hallway Kotori realized and she was seeing how the mana was getting denser the closer they got.

The hallway grew even more opulent almost like the mansions of billionaires in her past world

[Whoever built this place has no taste] Kotori thought upon seeing it

Eventually, they approached a large double door. The door was made of white wood that was gilded with gold coloring. Of course, this was all fake and made from mana but it was indeed an impressive set of doors.

The butler pushed open the two doors with both his arms.

Inside, Kotori could see what was a fairly average girls’ room.

Inside the room was a small table for tea, along with a dresser and makeup table with a large mirror.

There was a large bed with an overhang. Kotori could see the sheets softly rising and falling.

“Ojou-sama the guests have arrived.”

“Mmph!”

The figure on the bed began to move. Since it was obscured by the fluffy comforter Kotori couldn’t see who was on the bed.

The butler seemed to have a vein pop on his forehead. He walked over to the cover and pulled them off.

“Mou Sebastian!” The girl yelled out.

She was a small figure. Practically the size of the dwarves in Faramouth. With dark skin and black hair she looked fairly similar to the people in Eris. Although she still looked slightly foreign. She was wearing a white nightdress and nothing else.

The girl noticing their presence suddenly sat up from the bed and walked towards them.

“Tch, So annoying” She snapped her fingers and suddenly she was in a black dress.

[goth loli?] Kotori thought. It was a lacy Victorian-style dress that Kotori had not seen in this world.

“Sebastian prepares some tea!” She said

“As you wish” The butler left the room presumably to prepare some tea.

[She calls him Sebastian too!] Kotori thought.

Kotori and her party stood there awkwardly as the girl gracefully sat down at the small table.

“Well? come sit.” She said, the girl snapped her fingers again and suddenly there were enough chairs for everybody in Kotori’s party to sit down at the table.

Kotori obediently took a seat opposite the girl.

There was silence for a while, neither party speaking.

“So? You’ve got nothing to say?” The girl said.

“Me?” Kotori asked

“Yes, you! You come breaking into my home, obviously, you have something you want to tell me right?” The girl said with an annoyed look on her face.

[What the hell?] Kotori thought upon seeing those stats.

“You didn’t possibly think that would work right?” The girl said exasperated.

“Kotori, what is this girl referring to?” Amelie asked.

“I don’t know…” Kotori said.

“Oh, stop playing innocent you have that dumb fox’s girl with you, no?”

“I really don’t know what you are referring to,” Kotori said her voice wavering. This girl was odd, and she talked about things expecting Kotori to know about them.

“Don’t tell me? You know nothing?” The girl said with her arms crossed and raising her eyebrows in surprise.

“I really don’t know what you’re talking about”

“Tch, he got smarter about it.” The girl said biting her thumb in frustration.

“Can you explain to me what you're talking about?” Kotori said politely.

The girl looked at them and sighed.

“You poor fools, but perhaps that is for the best.” She said.

The butler entered again this time with a small tea set. He poured a cup for everybody in Kotori’s party

“Milk, or sugar?” He asked her.

“None please,” Kotori said.

He placed a warm cup of tea in front of Kotori and she took a sip.

The tea was very warm and also had a gentle floral note. It was a supremely excellent tea.

The girl was also quietly sipping the tea. In contrast to Kotori, she put an almost excessive amount of sugar and milk in the tea.
