Five days had passed since Yuri had performed the ritual with Lars. She had spent the previous night sleeping in the ritual room with Juno and Villa. They had only been talking and had fallen asleep, so all three of them were still fully clothed. "Sorry, but you need to wake up." There was a visitor. Villa and Juno, who had opened their eyes, quickly sat up in alarm. "Whoa, it's Kuurifun!" Hearing that, Yuri woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Kuurifun indeed standing next to the bed. "Huh?" "Here, take this." Kuurifun handed a conch shell to Yuri. "Huh? From Lars?" "No, not from him. Harold." "Huh? What about Harold?" "I'm leaving now. Sorry for the intrusion." Kuurifun left. "Wow, it's Kuurifun first thing in the morning… That really woke me up," Juno said, blinking her eyes in surprise. Yuri stared at the conch shell in her hand for a moment. "Queen, didn't you say the matter with Harold was resolved?" Villa asked. Yuri had talked about it with the two of them the night before. "Yeah. Harold said he wasn't going to do any ritual, so it should be completely resolved. I wonder what this message is about?" Yuri put the conch shell to her ear. "I’ve changed my mind. A lover's request is something you just can't ignore. I’ll play along with this ritual of yours. It irritates me that I have to go after Lars, but that’s something we can discuss at length. I’ll come tonight, so dress up nicely and wait for me." A pompous male voice could be heard, and the conch shell slipped from Yuri's hand and fell to the floor.
