Have a talk with Lady Sulta.

Time passes. Davella is locked away somewhere unknown to you, and the three of you have all been called to meet with the Acting Grand Master in her office one at a time. Much happened last night, so you can't help but already feel tired. The sun is about highway through the sky. It's going to be a long one you reckon, though it's a pleasant feeling regardless. You went through a lot, but you made it through. Somehow, you managed to best yet another person from the Demon King's army--one you didn't even know about. Davella must have been the one that conditioned Lynx with all of those weird code words. That also explains Lynx's obsession with manga.

After Malakae's turn, she walks right past both of you without a word. You can't imagine she has a clue of what to say after all of that. Though, her not insulting either of you must mean something.

Eva is called in next. You lean on the wall outside and wait. After a few minutes, she walks back out with an excited smile on her face.

"Lady Sulta gave me a gift!" Eva exclaims. There's a pouch in her hands. "She said it's something really special."

"Ooh. I wonder if I'll get one too," you say.

"Nope. She said this was valuable enough to count for both of us."

"That doesn't seem fair..."

"You should go inside. She's waiting for you. I'm going to head back to the library for now, okay? We have a lot of work to do."

"Sounds good. I'll see you later, Eva."

As she runs off, you walk inside and shut the door behind you.

It's the Grand Master's office again. It feels like days since the last time you we here, but it's only been one. Lady Sulta sits behind her desk just like before, and she gestures you closer with one hand. You walk forwards, and pull up the seat across from her, and she scoots closer as well--both hands crossed on the desktop in front of her.

"It sounds like all three of you went through something incredibly unique," she says. "The others told me what happened. Though, it sounded like they both were strategically leaving things out. Most interesting. But it sounds more like it was due to something embarrassing. I do know a wild sprite was the reason you were able to break the spell. That's correct, yes?"

You nod. "Yes, ma'am."

"So polite." She chuckles. Then she suddenly stands, and leans forward. She places her hands down on her desk, but as she bends, her round, firm downblouse comes to say hello. "And it so happens that Professor Frin is looking for a wild sprite she lost. You wouldn't happen to know where it went, would you?"

You gulp. "Actually, Lady Sulta... I have a request."

"I see. You did help rescue the school, so I would be awfully cruel to not hear it out." She stands up straight. At least now, it'll be easier to focus.

"Can I have the talisman? The piece of paper--"

"I know what you're referring to. If I had to guess, I would say you want to destroy it so that the wild sprite can go free."

There's no use in hiding it. "Yeah."

She reaches down between her breasts and pulls out the marked slip of paper. It stops enough to dangle out between them. She then walks slowly around her desk, and then leans the side of her ass against the edge. She's still dressed in her regal uniform--a black pencil skirt, black stockings, a fancy black coat, and a white under-shirt that's a few buttons down.

"Well, Sir Warren, Knight of Tivera, I must say that you're a kind soul. You'll even rescue a tiny wild sprite. I see no reason not to honour your request." Then she sits up from the edge of the desk, and bends down to learn in close. Her eyes look straight into yours. Though, yours can't help but wander downwards to her cleavage--right where the talisman resides. "Go ahead then. Feel free to take it."

Your eyes widen. You slowly reach out, and slide it free from between her tits.

Once you do, she stands up straight again and looks down towards you with a smirk. "All you need to do is tear it into pieces and your friend will be free."

"There's something else," you mutter. "The reason Davella was here."

"Oh?"

"She sought a book that supposedly had information on destroying the Amulet of Stupendous Strength, something that grants Demon Kind Sa'dis a lot of power. It's here for sure. She wanted to destroy it before someone else found it."

"I see. Fascinating. I may be able to help with just that. Would I be right in guessing it's the reason you came here as well?"

"Yeah, though we didn't know about it specifically. We just want to..."

"Fight the Demon King."

I didn't want to say it. I'd still rather just retire in a mansion filled with hot ladies. Instead, I'm stuck fighting a Demon King in a mansion filled with--Okay that isn't the point. It's not the same. Although, it has been pretty fun...

"You're nervous," she continues. "But I will help you on this journey. Give me two days. Return to my office, and I will have the information you seek. There's much to do. I would suggest you meet up with your friend now. Spend some time with her."

You pull yourself up. "I will. Thanks again, Lady Sulta."

"Say nothing of it."

As you go, you turn around. "One more thing... Where were you in the dream world?"

To your surprise, she looks flustered. Her answer doesn't come right away. It looks like she's struggling to say it.

"You will tell no one of this," she says quietly.

"Uh. Okay."

She leans back against the desk again. "When I first opened my eyes, I was in a strange room. A new uniform was waiting for me. I put it on and got ready to leave, but what I saw outside was outstanding. It was mundane at the time, but metal cars moving on their own, with the people inside of them. I saw people speaking on these odd little boxes that lit up.... I found my way to the school shortly after."

"You knew you were in a dream?" you ask.

"Not at the time. I snapped to my senses about the same I ah--"

"Are you all right?"

"I-I locked myself in the basement."

"You what?!'

"Please don't embarrass me further. I accidentally dropped my bag down the stairs and I followed after it. For some reason, I was curious what was through the door. Perhaps I was already regaining my senses. After passing through, I noticed the door wouldn't open back up. I was stuck in the boiler room. I tried using spells after I figured out everything was a facade, but nothing happened."

"So the entire time, you were just stuck in a room somewhere..."

"Be kind. I wasn't myself, nor did I have my power."

So in another world, she's the clutz kind of teacher I guess.

"Remember to come back, Kyle~," she whispers. "I'll miss you if you don't. And I assume you'd like that book as well. Now hurry up. Leaving a girl waiting is rude, and I believe she's been waiting long enough."

"Right. I will be back. Don't worry. Try not to lock yourself--"

"Remember who you're speaking with, Warren," she says with a glare.

"Y-Yep. Sorry." You bow your head. "See you around, Grand Master Sulta."

She smirks. "Acting Grand Master. And goodbye for now, Sir Warren."
