As Ayane arrived home with Isayao and Clementine, she felt exhausted from convincing Isayao to finally calm down. Isayao, still pouting, was not happy about returning home so soon.
"Isayao, fix your face," Ayane said.
"Whatever," Isayao blurted out.
"Master Isayao, I think you should listen to your older sister," Clementine inquired shyly.
Isayao changed her gaze to Clementine, grabbed her hand, and dragged her into her room. Clementine was caught off guard by Isayao's sudden change of action.
"Ah—what is it?" Clementine asked.
"Just follow me!" Isayao insisted.
Once inside, Isayao locked the door and sat on her bed, exhausted. Clementine stood, confused by what was going on.
"What's the matter?" Clementine questioned as Isayao breathed heavily, unable to comprehend something she was hiding.
Isayao was sweating and trembling with fear. She slowly shifted her eyes back to Clementine and asked, "Did you just see that thing behind older sis?"
"I believe I didn't. Why, was there something behind her that you saw and I didn't?" Clementine asked promptly.
"Well, you see, just now, something struck me. It felt like everything I did the moment I thought of leaving the house was not my doing," Isayao explained, trembling.
"What do you mean?" Clementine pressed.
"It felt like someone was controlling me, and there was some kind of entity behind older sister," Isayao exclaimed.
"What entity?" Clementine asked cautiously.
"Never mind, let's just pretend this day never happened," Isayao declared.
"Understood, young master," Clementine replied.
Ayane, confused by Isayao sudden drag of Clementine away from her shook it off like it was just some childish game as she headed toward the kitchen to eat.
The next day, Xialdre woke up in the middle of the night. He stood up to get some water and use the bathroom. As he got out of his room, he felt something strange in the atmosphere.
After drinking and using the bathroom downstairs, Xialdre started heading back to his room. He heard a slight moan across the hallway. Shifting his eyes to Ayane's room, he noticed it was slightly open. He took a glimpse inside and saw Ayane sleeping with her door open.
Xialdre, confused, closed the door. He thought this might be due to the wand she bought and headed back to bed.
"Something is currently at play in her dreams. I don't want to interrupt, though she's about to face a scar that could only be fixed by someone she places her praise in," Xialdre mused to himself.
Meanwhile, a strange breathing sound made Ayane open her eyes. She realized she couldn't move her body at all and felt uneasy about something in the room.
"Huh, am I still dreaming?" Ayane questioned herself in her thoughts. She heard footsteps outside her room in the hallway near Xialdre's, Isayao's, and Clementine's rooms.
"Why can't I move?" Ayane continued to ask herself as the footsteps stopped right outside her door.
Ayane tried to yell out, but her voice was stuck in her throat. The entity slowly opened her door slightly and began walking towards her.
It was a shadowy, dark figure. This put Ayane in chills and panic. "Could this be Xialdre, Isayao, Clementine, Hechalutz, or Mirael? Why can't I move or talk? Is this a nightmare?" Ayane began thinking.
She attempted to scream several times to no avail. The shadowy figure climbed onto her, its face completely covered in shadow. It stood at Ayane's leg and slowly walked forward, stepping onto her belly and chest. As it was about to step onto her head, it smiled maniacally at her. Ayane finally managed to scream.
She sat up and realized it was already morning. Looking around, she saw there was no shadowy figure in her room. The door was closed, contrary to her dream where it was open.
As she sighed, Mirael, Hechalutz, Xialdre, Isayao, and Clementine barged into her room, worried about her sudden scream.
Except for Xialdre, who already knew what was going on as the others saw relief in Ayane's eyes.
"What's going on, Master?" Hechalutz questioned.
"Nothing really, just had a bad dream," Ayane replied.
As everyone started to understand what was going on, a wave of relief passed through them.
"Sis, you can sleep with us if you have another bad dream. Is that alright, Clementine?" Isayao suggested.
"I guess I'm alright with that, young master," Clementine assured.
"I'm fine, really. I'm okay now. Anyways, I want to try my new wand," Ayane declared.
"Master Ayane, maybe that wand is causing you these bad dreams," Mirael pointed out.
"You're being irrational, Mirael. It's just a coincidence that the moment I bought this wand, I started having a bad dream," Ayane exclaimed as she walked outside her room. The five people watched as she left.
"Sis, not taking advice from someone older than you might cause you a problem," Xialdre exclaimed.
"Shut up. She's just a slave. She didn't even have a proper education," Ayane blurted out.
"HOW DARE YOU INSULT MOTHER LIKE THAT!" Clementine yelled out.
"Huh?" Ayane exclaimed, changing her gaze back to Clementine.
"CLEMENTINE, MIND YOUR MANNERS," Mirael retorted.
"Mother, she treated you like trash, and you're really just going to accept that?" Clementine responded.
"Clementine, the reason we are both still alive is because we're living under their roof, like dogs and cats!" Mirael explained angrily.
"But..." Clementine attempted to speak up, but Ayane interrupted from the distance.
"Silence your mouth, Clementine. You're nothing but just like your mother. You both are just pieces of dirt that should be swept away by me like a broom out of this house. But despite that, Xialdre and Isayao are the only things bringing the trash back inside, like kids as expected" Ayane said as she left for the training grounds.
*Present*
"Ayane older sister has always hated both Mirael and Clementine, but this time was different, She was acting not like herself, she was different all of a sudden, was she being controlled I asked myself." Xialdre exclaimed.
"That's quite a tragic commotion" Arisawa commented.
As they reached the lotius Town as this town was surrounded by bubbles as huge as an average person floating around the surrounding.
Xyrene poked one as it popped in her face as they attempt to find a building or rather hotel they could stay in for a week as Xialdre continues telling them about The Natori's horror.
"One time at training, Ayane almost killed Isayao if I didn't stepped in, they were having a duel perfect orchestrated by ayane herself, Terrible isn't it?" Xialdre explained.
*Flashback*
August 3, 1719 – Four days after Ayane purchased the strange wand that was incredibly powerful but sold at such a low price.
Ayane charged directly at Isayao. Isayao attempted to hit Ayane with her bow but failed miserably as Ayane managed to get close to her. Ayane dive-kicked Isayao's knee, breaking her ankle. She then grabbed Isayao's head, covering her mouth to prevent her from forfeiting.
As Ayane was about to slam Isayao to the ground, Xialdre stepped in and caught Isayao, saving her from Ayane potentially crushing her head. The two fell to the ground. Ayane attempted to thrust her sword at Isayao's eyes, but Xialdre pulled out his dagger and blocked the sword from piercing through.
"Stop it already, Sis!" Xialdre blurted out calmly.
"Don't interfere with our duel," Ayane exclaimed.
"Sis, she's in tears right now," Xialdre responded.
"She hasn't forfeited yet, so the battle continues," Ayane retorted.
"Are you potentially attempting to kill Isayao just to show off?" Xialdre questioned.
"Whatever, she's disqualified anyway," Ayane pointed out.
Isayao cried onto Xialdre's chest. Xialdre patted her head gently, attempting to calm her down. He sighed, picked Isayao up, and brought her back to the house to fix her broken leg.
"Big b-brother, what is currently happening with Older Sis's behavior?" Isayao asked, sobbing.
"Well, I still don't know. But don't worry, she'll eventually apologize to you and go back to her old self, not this edgy part of her," Xialdre explained.
*Present*
"So, this is our new room," Natalia exclaimed as the group entered the room they had just rented.
"You girls just can't get comfortable without sleeping in the same bed as me?" Xialdre asked.
"Uh, that sounds so lewd, Master," Furina exclaimed, blushing.
"But I just said you girls really want to sleep in the same bed I'm about to sleep in. Considering there is only one bed in this room, despite it being awfully big," Xialdre commented.
"Do you hate it, Master? Don't worry, I'll change it right away," Natalia assured.
"No, it's fine. I don't even understand what being attracted to a woman's body means anyway," Xialdre revealed.
"That's so cold of you, Master," Emiko replied.
"Though I did hear people saying that girls with huge boobs can make a tits job more appealing and be more efficient in making someone aroused," Xialdre exclaimed.
"Ah, that's so lewd... Master," Natalia exclaimed as all the girls blushed, covering their faces. Emiko placed her hand across her cheeks and commented, "Ara ara."
Asabe and Arisawa held tightly onto Xialdre's arm, pressing their breasts against him. They replied, "If you'd like to touch them directly, feel free to ask," the two girls suggested, as Natalia and Furina punched them on the head.
"Anyways, Master, what more occurred with that wand until it was officially fixed?" Rain questioned.
"Yeah, I'm quite intrigued by Clementine and Isayao's story along with yours," Xyrene inquired.
"Master, can I add some parts of this tragedy that you didn't cover since you weren't there when some other terror occurred?" Clementine asked.
"Sure," Xialdre agreed.
