You haven't been able to visit the mansion for a while due to a very busy schedule. Since your schedule is clear starting tomorrow... you decide to visit the mansion for the first time in a long while.

You take out the ring hidden on the shelf, slide it onto your ring finger, and slowly close your eyes. It's been a while since you've felt this sensation, making it feel both awkward and dear.

As your hazy consciousness returns, you open your eyes to find yourself lying on the bed in the mansion, just like always. Finding the mansion unusually quiet, you head out of the room.

As you walk down the hallway, someone suddenly pulls you into a hug. It is Berian.

Master... I missed you.

Berian's eyes are rimmed with red.
