"Please proceed inside the room, and wait for me to come back"

Nodding her head as she sat at one of the chairs inside of the sound proofed security room, Yuri asks, "How long will it take for you to come back?"

Smiling, Hilda answers, "5 minutes is enough. You can try to escape if you want but I don't actually suggest that you do that since you won't really gain something from it, rather, you'd even lose the most precious thing in this world"

Blinking, Yuri asks in curiosity, "What would happen if I try to escape this building?"

Thinking for a moment, Hilda answers, "Its simple, once you've stepped foot outside, your contract will take into effect and the contract chain that's wrapped around our hearts would activate to: CODE D."

"CODE D?"

"CODE DEATH"

Well, that's scary.

Clearly accepting her fate, Yuri did not speak any longer as Hilda finally left the room, and indeed came back exactly after 5 minutes.

Smiling, Hilda feels amused to see Yuri still sitting inside the room, not even attempting to escape like the other employees that have 'rebelled' against Sweet Haven.

"You're still here"

Letting out a sigh, Yuri answers as she looked towards Hilda's direction, saying, "Its not like I have a choice right?"

At once, after hearing Yuri's response, Hilda laughs and says, "You're something that's for sure"

"Not really…I'm just using common sense"

Walking her way towards Yuri, Hilda answers as she closed the door behind her, saying, "Yes it is indeed common sense yet so many people weren't that capable of using their brains that they end up getting caught straight into a trap that's been laid in front of them the whole time."

Pausing for a moment, Hilda sits down on a chair in front of Yuri before continuing her sentence, saying, "Since you're still alive, then let us proceed to the body inspection now. You're pretty quick to understand things so I might as well explain it you before we start. There is a risk when we do body inspection, but it's definitely not a huge risk. As long as you follow the steps I give you, there wouldn't be any problems."

As Hilda says this, Hilda hands Yuri a magic herb. Once she has gotten one, Hilda continues her explanation.

"What you have in your hands is a magic herb called Truth herb. It is a level three magic herb but it is not quite like the other magic herbs of the same level. Its chief use is not to refine magic pills, but to stimulate the human body by exerting excessive amounts of vitality and mana inside the core. When there is too much vitality and mana inside your core, your body would react accordingly as the 'overflow' happens. Now, pick out the smallest leaf in the middle and eat it. You will then feel its effect. You may feel a little pain but just endure it and it will pass."

Hearing this, Yuri carefully picks out the smallest leaf and places it in her mouth.

At once, Yuri's mind went blank for a split second as she fell down the ground screaming.

"AHH!!!"

Yuri's body that currently laid on the ground, curled close into a fetus position as she felt waves of torturous pain from up her head, down to her body and to her very last toes.

"HAHH! HAAAHHH! HNGH!!!"

It was pain that she had never felt before, and it was basically unpleasant and vicious. It would have been great if she could just grab her head and scream "stop!" but she couldn't even lift her hands since it would only send unrelenting pain through out her body, as if her body was getting electrocuted every time she moved.

Fifteen minutes later, Yuri finally regains consciousness. However, her head is covered in sweat, the back of her body completely drenched, as if she had just been fished out of water.

At once, the first thought that flashes through her mind is that she has been duped.

Now she understands what 'a little pain' really means.

It's not just 'a little pain' but rather so much so that she would have been better off dead.

Luckily Yuri ultimately managed to persevere to the end. If only she knew that the 'body inspection' would have been this cruel… She would have been able to prepare herself and took some pain inducing magic pills to minimize the overall pain of doing 'overflow'…

"Looks like you've survived the ordeal. Let me first congratulate you on successfully getting over the body inspection" Hilda beams at Yuri, not even in the least bit affected by the aggrieved expression in her eyes.

"What else do I have to endure next…?"

Letting out a hearty laugh, Hilda answers, "As long as you follow through the contract, there won't be anymore problems"

"Then… Am I finally done here? Can I go now?"

Smiling, Hilda stood up from the chair in front of Yuri, saying, "Give me a second, I still have something to give you"

"Ok…"

Hilda chants a spell as a black mark, resembling a kind of chain like collar appeared around her neck.

Eyes widening at the sudden appearance of the black mark around Hilda's neck, Yuri questions, "Is that…?"

The mark glowed for a few moments before something black has suddenly flashed forwards to Yuri, sending her backwards at the sudden force.

"GAH!"

Coughing as she momentarily lost the ability to breath, Yuri chokes at the force that has suddenly surrounded her neck as she grabs ahold of her neck and choked out the words, "S…to…p"

"It will be done in a second. Endure it and you will be free"

Yuri bits her lower lip as tears dripped down her cheeks, her face turning green and then blue until her eyes rolled back at the back of her head and she passed out due to the lack of supply of oxygen to her brain.

Crouching down to Yuri's body, Hilda says, "Gemini: Puppet String"

At once, a clone of Yuri appeared, her head bowed down to Hilda as it spoke with Yuri's voice, saying, "Master Hilda, I've already changed into that young lady's appearance. What do I have to do next?"

Smiling, Hilda caresses Yuri's sleeping face before she turned to look at Gemini's direction, saying, "Go outside the room first, and wait for me to follow. I will see you out by the entrance, and if someone follows you, then great, lead him or her away from Peach Dew Village as far as possible, but be careful, Gemini, if ever you were caught as a fake, do not hesitate to kill. I trust in you alone for this mission Gemini. I wish you the best of luck, and may the heaven's blessings be upon you"

Gemini replies, "All taboos are off and all evil withdraws."

Once Gemini was out of the room, Hilda glanced back again to Yuri's figure, saying, "Sleep and regain enough stamina young lady... Your journey is just starting, you must be prepared if you really wished to know the truth"

Looking up to the white painted ceiling, Hilda whispers under her breath, "I have done my part now… Are you finally at peace? Antonio?"
