Five years ago, after hundreds of years of the tyrannical rule, the Arcadia Empire was overthrown in a coup d'etat. Many only know of a Black Machine Dragon that achieved this, but there were two. A lesser known White Machine Dragon with untraceable...
(Y/N) sits on his bed, still in his Drag-Knight uniform with Airi sitting in a chair across from him. (Y/N) looks at his arm, seeing that the burn marks were gone, almost like they were never there.
"So...Ultimately, you didn't get any information about the key? You even destroyed your Wyvern in the process..." says Airi in a disappointed tone.
"Yeah...I'm sorry," replies (Y/N), while rubbing his neck.
"I'm angry because you're not reflecting on this! The Ruin was dangerous as is, and yet you still went with no sleep! You were so reckless!"
"Look there's nothing to worry about though. I'm still alive right? Besides, there was no way I could let that group go alone."
"You're injured and you still have that split headache right?"
"..."
"Look you have to trust us sometimes too. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll get seriously injured or even die."
The two sit in silences, before Airi breaks the awkward silence.
"...In the end, the Horn Flute wasn't the 'Key' right?"
"Even while inside the Ruins, nothing happened and it didn't react with anything."
"Our prediction was off then...Did you notice anything weird otherwise?"
(Y/N) thinks back to Krulcifer's confession that she was a key and the events that flowed throughout his brain. "No...nothing of importance anyway."
Despite Airi not believing the boy, she decided not to push any further. "I see...We didn't make any progress, but it can't be helped." She hands him a hot cup of tea. "Here drink this and lie down for a bit. You have a duel soon."
"What is it?" (Y/N) asks, while taking the hot cup.
"Krulcifer gifted it to you. It's herbal tea. It's effective in helping recovery from exhaustion and should help ease the pain from the headache."
"But..."
"You'll make it in time for the duel, so try to rest for a little bit now."
"...Yeah. Your right Airi. Thank you."
He drinks the whole cup, before handing it back to Airi. A couple minutes later, (Y/N) falls asleep quite easy, as Airi looks at the ingredients she used to make the tea. One of them included some crushed up sleep powder.

"Are you satisfied now, Krulcifer? It seems like you really don't know anything about...(Y/N)."
*Hours Before*
Lux, Airi, and Krulcifer meet up, as (Y/N) was off in the male's washroom.
"So what was it that you wanted to talk about Krulcifer?" asks Lux.
"I don't want to involve (Y/N) in any more of my problems," says Krulcifer.
