AN: Hello everyone! I'm glad so many of you liked last week's chapter. For this week, we get to hear many, many question that we had finally become answered! Some of you might have guessed what/who was behind everything, some of you might not. Next week's release is going to be long, and since so many of you enjoyed the last chapter that was like it, I'm sure it'll be popular as well.

That being said, going back re-reading this chapter made me realize how fun many of the cast members were to write. Hopefully with Arc Three coming up, I'll be able to write more with them.

ALSO: This chapter will have a few spoiler's in regards to ARC FIVE, so please be aware.

Feeling the trickling of sunlight against his eyelids, YN began to stir awake.

First, the softness of the sheets and pillows were felt as his arms and legs awoke, followed by the aroma of them being freshly laundered.

Taking in a deep breath through his nose, the sweet smell of flowers also entered YN's mind. Slowly opening his eyes, the brightness of the morning sun was coming in unobstructed as the curtain over his window was continuously held open by the soft breeze coming through.

This reminds me of my first loop... Everything is the same practically.

Rubbing his face, YN observed the room. His room.

Well, other than the room I guess.

YN: I'm back at the mansion, that's for sure...

Getting up and out of bed, he shuffled across the floor to the window. Noticing the height of the sun, a small flame of concern built up in his chest.

It's pretty late in the morning now, isn't it?

Looking around at the gardens below, it was there that YN noticed something.

YN: That's—!

Pulled out, in plain view was the ruined carriage, uncoupled from the ground dragon that had so tirelessly pulled it. Putting a hand to his head, YN tried his best to recall his most recent memories.

I passed out... But now we're here. How did we make a multi-day trip in just one night?

Realizing he couldn't hope to find the answers to the questions he had here, YN dressed himself in his casual clothes and went to his door.

Let's see, at this time of day, Rem and Ram should be preparing for lunch down in the kitchen— hk!

Thinking to himself as he turned the handle to his room's door, YN had not expected the destination on the other side. Stepping through the door, the smell of dust and old books filled his nose. Shutting the door behind him, so did the drill haired girl opposite of him shut her book.

Beatrice: It appears you're finally awake, I suppose.

YN: B-Beatrice—!

Wait. No no, it's alright. She never read my memories this time. She has no clue what happened, or what was happening.

Gulping back down the fear that had momentarily manifested in him, YN sighed in relief in his mind. While he had expected to be in the mansion's hallway, just down from Rem's own room, YN had found himself in the Forbidden Library.

YN: Um, can I ask why you were—?

Beatrice: Betty is just doing as she agreed. 'Watch him until he awakes and then send him to me.'

YN: 'Send him to me'? To where? I—, I gotta find Rem first and—

Beatrice: Betty does not have time for this, in fact. She can at least see why she was asked to do this now.
