ARC 2 - Prologue : First Snow

*Bang*

*Bang*
“Gudako! Get out here! The inspectors want to talk to you!”
“Well now, looks like they’re not wasting any time getting this interrogation party started. Remember, silence is golden. Wait and see what their game is and try not to say anything more than is absolutely necessary.”

Gudako nodded. Handing the box to Mash for safekeeping, Gudako picked herself off the floor and knocked on the door to the room. With a click of the lock, the iron door was pulled open, revealing an escort party of 3 soldiers. The soldier in front nodded and pointed down the hallway.

“Good. The case inspector is waiting in Room 3. Don’t try anything funny alright? And make sure you answer truthfully.”

Nodding, Gudako turned to walk in that direction when one of the soldiers put their hand in front of her.

“Where’s the box from earlier?”

“I left it with Mash.”

Looking her up and down to confirm this statement(as the black box is pretty hard to hide), the soldier grunted before putting their hand down.

“Three doors down on your right….and sorry for pushing you down earlier. It was protocol.”

“No worries. Thank you.”

And so, Gudako made her way towards Room 3.

*Time skip*

The door to Room 3 lurched open, revealing an inspector shuffling her papers and a very tired Gudako walking out. She had been in there for 6 hours of nonstop questioning. It had started out okay with the general “Name?”, “Where are you from?” questions, but then, half an hour in, the inspector began asking questions that dealt with mana and other mage-thing, which Gudako did NOT know how to answer.

Urgh….finally done. Any more and I probably would have fainted before I even got out.

Lost in her thoughts, it wasn’t until a white-gloved hand was waved in front of her face, followed by the click of a tongue.

“Hello? Hellooo~? Aw, poor little Master of Chaldea. Are you tired after that interrogation? This your first time playing with the big boys? Then you’d better hurry up and learn how the game is played. As they say, experience is every-Aah!”

A little white furball suddenly leaped at Koyanskaya, clawing furiously at her clothes.

“Fou, fooou!

“Hmph!”

With a well-aimed smack, Fou hit the ground. Growling, he struggled to get up, but was then pushed into the ground again by a very cold heel.

“Fou!?”

“Oh, is that your cat? I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help, but hit it back~.”

“Kyuuu!”

“Whoops! Clumsy me! Now I’ve gone and stepped on it! But what can you do? This is how it goes when the weak attack the strong. Maybe once upon a time this thing was more impressive, but now it’s just a puny little hair ball. It’s the way of the world that it finds itself under the heel of a stronger animal now, don’t you think?”

“Let Fou go!”

“Now now, no need to get so wild. It is brave of you to bare your fangs for your little pet. Cute~. But sorry, I can’t just let it go. No, not after it went after my perfect skin with its little claws. Normally I’d break a leg or two so it knows not to mess with me again, but….I might be willing to let it go unharmed, IF you agree to chat with me for a bit. So, what do you say?”
