You soon find yourself walking through the abandoned Einzbern Castle, it's still in very good shape other than a few signs of damage caused by battle. Of course, it's not like it has been abandoned for very long at all, so it would be far stranger for the castle to be in complete disrepair. You aren't given any form of guidance from the divine spirit, and are left seemingly to wander about to find her and her master all by yourself. You yawn tiredly, but rub the sleep out of your eyes. You don't have time to sleep just yet.

You scan a few more rooms in an upstairs hallway before you yawn once again, this time collapsing on your back-side as a wave of exhaustion sweeps over you. You struggle to get back to your feet, but the strength leaves your arms as you attempt to push yourself off the floor. Damn it! What's going on, this must be some form of attack! You realize too late to do anything about it, and your slowing mind manages to pick out the appearance of a blue dress clad figure with four swishing tails moving behind her. Four... tails? There's something very alarming about the number being so high, but your rapidly shutting down mind doesn't realize just why it's so strange.

"Oh good. I was starting to think you were immune to my sleep curse, but it seems you were just annoyingly resistant to it." So... that was her plan? Damn you Tama- You fall into the depths of sleep before you can finish the thought.
