Seeing that she is drinking makes me feel calmer inside.
'I hope it works because otherwise, I'll be in very serious trouble; if it doesn't work then I don't think Satsuki will take it well with me'
Since we started our journey here I have felt more and more tired but luckily thanks to the rings I can maintain my composure the rings have a limit which is my energy.
WhicThisns when I run out of power they'll shut themselves down and I'll pass out.
But I have to last just a little longer, long enough to see if the potion takes effect.
I have not confirmed if this potion works in all states.
What I mean is that maybe it doesn't work if the person doesn't want to relax then I'll be completely helpless if that happens.
I can hardly do any small actions.
If Satsuki finds out about this then she won't hesitate to get rid of me.
'Quick, why don't I see it working?'
I don't see that Satsuki's face changes much contrary to what I remembered when I tried the previous Satsuki.
"*deep silent breath*"
'I'm reaching my limit and it's very difficult to keep standing'
"Hey, let's sit down"
I can't help it, I'm very tired and standing still makes me feel more tired.
Then Satsuki just looks at me for a moment and then continues leading me to the sofa.
Then I start to see things blurry.
When she sits me on the sofa I feel my body relax.
'I have reached my limit, I leave the rest to you potion I hope you do not fail me'
With this last thought, I lose consciousness.

I don't remember when I got here but it's not important.
I find myself walking down a stone path.
As I walk I see the surroundings are blurred.
As time passes the road begins to change, and the landscape becomes clear.
I am going down a dirt road in the woods.
Not how long it took me to walk but I finally reached my destination.
I am facing a large lake where the depth is such that even the edges are dark.
I tilt my body and I see myself reflected on the surface of the water.
As I look at my reflection I notice something strange.
As I look at my reflection's face I see that it is strangely smiling and seems to be staring at me as if it were an entity below.
I don't know why but I have the urge to reach out to touch the water.
When I stretch out my hand and touch the surface of the water.
And before I can react I see my reflection reach its hand out of the reflection coming out of water grabbing my hand and pulling me, causing me to fall into the water.
Unexpectedly falling into the lagoon I do not feel any panic.
When I am inside the lagoon I have no feeling of drowning.
I feel like I am slowly sinking to the bottom of the lake.
I'm getting closer to the dark and deep part.
I don't know how long I've been falling but when I enter I see that it's unexpectedly not dark.
I can see the bottom of the lake.
It is a forest that stretches into view.
So after falling a little more I hit the bottom and now I am standing in the middle of a forest.
In sky which should be the surface is dark.
'I feel something calling me out there'
I begin to walk through this forest following an uncertain course.
After an unknown amount of time, I realize that I am in front of some ruins of something that seems to be a castle.
Without even thinking about it, I go into it.
The great gate is destroyed.
As I enter I can appreciate a little of what it is.
I see that the walls are full of cracks and dirt.
Then I come to what appears to be a throne room.
I see that the whole place is empty and the only thing that can be seen ahead is a stone throne full of plants that surround it but unexpectedly it is without cracks unlike the rest of the castle.
But I don't pay much attention to that because I feel that the call is coming from below this place.
Then I take a panoramic view of the place and to the side, I see some stairs leading down.
Then I start to go down the bleachers.
After an unknown time of being down the stairs, I see that I am in a dungeon that is full of cells.
But my attention is drawn to the cell in the background where I see a silhouette shrouded in darkness.
I'm getting closer without even paying attention to the cells on the sides.
I feel that the voice that calls me comes from this place.
So when I get closer to the cell I can see more clearly.
I am a little surprised.
There is a person who is bound by chains making it impossible for him to move.
But what has surprised me is that this person is practically the same as me.
But for some reason, I can't surprise myself for long and I'm back to normal.
'Something inside me tells me to throw off the chains'
So I try to enter by opening the door.
When I try to open it I find that I can't move it an inch.
Either it's too heavy or it's stuck.
I try to struggle a little more but it gives me the same results as a few moments ago.
"It's useless, you can't open that door yet"
I'm surprised when I hear a voice coming from behind me.
Then I turn around and what I see is a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance and oddly enough he is wearing a suit that appears to be that of a butler.
"Who are you?"
Doubt haunts me.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Dracov the butler of this castle"
'Butler? I thought this place was empty'
"So I think you said I can't open this cell yet, why?"
Strangely his presence seems to be the most normal thing in the world as someone he had known a long time ago.
"The answer is simple, you are not worthy to open it yet of course"
He tells me in a calm tone.
"Worthy? Worth what?"
Then he points his finger at the cell he was trying to open just now.
"Of the"
'Worthy of him?'
"How am I worthy of him?"
"It's something you'll understand naturally"
