"Hm... Good morning..." As the sun's gentle rays filtered through the curtains, she stirred from her slumber, her golden eyes blinking open in a slow and drowsy rhythm. The tousled waves of her bedhead framed her face in a charming disarray, and you couldn't help but smile at the sight. "Good morning," she greeted.

As it turns out, your first task as her 'little helper' is to wake her up in the morning.
"Good morning, my lady," you feel the urge to put a hand to your breast, bowing before her, just as a knight would.
She giggles at your motion, "Already getting into your role, are you? Are you settling in?" She looks at you expectantly, and you feel yourself unable to not live up to her expectations for you.
"So far, yes. I feel like it's going to take a while to get used to all of this," you gesture to the room around you. "That said, getting to see you like this is reward, in of itself," you grin.
"Oh~? I think it's a little early for that," Shiori replies, a mischievous light dancing in her eyes.
It's only at this point that you realize, you may have misstepped. As she maintains eye contact with you from her bed, you feel something wrapping its way around your feet and the floor beneath you sinking. Looking down, you see a dark portal, and starting to panic, you scrabble at the nearby door and approaching floor.
Realizing the futility, you look up to see Shiori's eyes glowing as you slip beneath the surface, "I'll see you in a bit, Novelite~..." Your vision darkens again.
"Alright, so... that was not the right thing to say," you mutter to yourself as you get up. You look around and see a forest in the distance, and a town behind you.
