Preparations

Once Ryoma agreed to become Loki's subordinate, Loki placed a tracking spell on Ryoma. It took a few minutes to complete the spell so it needed Ryoma to stand still for more than ten minutes, but Ryoma did not bother to question what Loki was doing to him. Once he was done with that Loki deactivated the rune of illusion and guided Ryoma to a place near Harold's place. 

"So where are we going?" 

"We're going to meet someone." 

"Who?" 

"You'll see once we get there, but first I need to be unconscious." 

"Huh?" 

Ryoma could only say those words before he felt something like pinching on his neck and before he knew it he lost consciousness. When Ryoma woke up again he was staring at a light hanging from an unfamiliar ceiling. 

"You're finally awake." 

Ryoma looked to his side and Loki was standing leaning on the wall. Ryoma stood up from the bed and touched the back of his neck. 

"Where am I?"
