Sunz: Well, not serving me directly, but someone wants to ask you questions because you were involved in something recently, like within the last hour.
Grace Alter:… One, they can't see me, and two, I have been with Lady this whole time until you called me here. So?
Sunz: Well, she is a psychic and a powerful one too. So…
*stare at Grace Alter and notice something different*
"Huh, you got a new outfit? Never seen that before… and purple?"
Grace Alter crouches down so their eyes can meet: You talking to me or my clothes?
Sunz looks away: Yeah, sorry about that. *glancing back and forth*
Grace Alter stands back up: Such a Freak… psychic, huh… they are on top of my hit list.
Sunz immediately turns his head: What?!
Then, Grandma Yan suddenly appeared back in the room: 5 minutes is over. Anything happen?
The room immediately turns quiet.
Yan:… (It's here, but very faint. A different type of parasite similar to one before.)
Grace Alter turns to look at Grandma Yan:… (So, you are the unknown intruder that has been poking around Master's mind.)
Sunz:… (This silence never led to anything good.) I-
When Sunz just made the lightest breath, Grandma Yan flicked her wrist, and he immediately disappeared, but got to see Grace Alter switch to the maid outfit at the last second.
Yan looked directly at Alter: No need to hide, I can see you clearly now.
Grace Alter: I never hide, your psychic ability should never be able to perceive me, but you must be strong enough or have somehow perceived me before.
The whole room turned into the empty white void with black lines spread across evenly, marking the limit of the area.
Yan closed her eyes, and immediately, thick black and white ropelike creatures shot out from the white void, and black lines aimed at Alter. But they immediately stopped when almost touching her, then shattered into pieces.
Alter: A bit hostile, aren't you? Sunz said you wanted to talk with me.
Yan: You are not the type to talk unless wearing a straitjacket.
Alter: Grandma sure knows her stuff. You psychic surely are the scummiest creature, the less the better… Anyway, I can't die unless my host dies, but you will. So put up a good fight, and I'll let you live. Sunz seem to be fond of you.
Yan: Then great, I have no intention to get rid of you. Put up a good fight, or else you'll be seeing me a lot.
Alter leapt at Yan and, in an instant, her hand was grabbing Yan's neck, then summoned ice crystals surrounding her.
"Show yourself, basic illusion trick… or I'll will!"
The ice crystals then blasted across the whole white void and stuck to its surface.
"No trick, hah… what are you planning?"
*increasing the force on Yan's neck*
Yan: Ughhh!... That should be enough for you.
Alter, seeing her hand quickly being covered by ink:… what did you do?
*raises her other hand, icicles forming at the tip of the fingers, then strikes at Yan's eyes*
Blood drips down Alter's fingers down to her arm.
The red blood then turns black, and both of her arms immediately wrap themselves behind her back with the ink binding them all together like a straitjacket. Then thick black ropes rose from the floor and latched onto her legs, pulling her down on her knees.
Yan, with no visible wounds on her, looks down at Alter: Fake sensation, surely you would have seen that coming. Now, behave!
(!!!)
"Put them down."
Alter smiles: What's wrong, Psychic? Already bound all of my body parts. Want to blind me next? Go ahead!
Yan: Millions of nano size icicle ready to puncture my body at any millisecond, leave me one question. If you love Sunz so much, why risk your life?
Alter: I… we love him so much. Their love is infinite, but my body has no way to contain it all. The more it grows, another limit is broken until she is forced to feel this infinite love.
Yan: That is impossible… unless… the Water Clan's forbidden technique.
Alter: Who knows. But you know… we both know a solution for this.
Yan grits her teeth.
Alter: That's right. You must have seen Master and Lady's happy moments. It's a shame that, to save her. They should be separated forever.
The black ink on her body liquefies, dripping into the white void and releasing her.
Yan: We both did not go serious with our strength. What is your reason for that?
Alter: You care about Sunz, and that is enough for me to not rip your string.
*stand up and perform a curtsy to Yan*
"We start off on the right track. Allow me to introduce myself. Grace Alter, the maid who oversees the progress of Master and Lady's relationship."
Yan: On the right track you said, then let's hope we won't derail. A bit childish, but it's a greeting.
*perform a curtsy back*
"Yan Ying, fortune-teller for the Wu family. Nice to meet you."
Alter: So, let's both agree that anything after the introduction stays with us, sound good?
Yan: Sure, sounds great.
Alter: Before you, there was someone else in his mind, lingering for a while, snooping around before vanishing and never coming back. I know it was not you, since you have been in and out of his mind hundreds of times.
Yan: An aunty that he has never met before. Don't know how they encountered each other, but she uses that opportunity to copy his memories in the form of a sigil. I took care of it already. We just don't know what memories she has and what she will do with them.
Alter: We, that means his parents know about this too. How problematic will this aunty be?
Yan:… tch! That woman is complicated, so the result can be good or bad or neutral.
Alter:… Interesting, I guess… so, what did you want to ask me?
Yan: Two hours ago.
*flips her hand and shows Alter the flower Sunz chose*
"When Sunz touched this flower, you did something to him that put him in a trance, and I had to pull him out with my power. You were being possessive of him, and as he was being pulled away from you. You started to beg him to stay with both of you and hold her hands… then, after being pulled out of that trance, he did not remember anything, and time passed like normal."
Alter:… No, that trance was on us.
Yan: What?!
Alter: I'm still young, so new abilities appear randomly, and this too. So, take my explanation with a grain of salt. I hate psychics or anything that can ruin the mind, and you, a fortune-teller, were invading his mind… or *look around* trapping him in this mindlike location.
"So, it was trapping you in the trance while accidentally roping him in too. For what you saw, you were able to see what we were talking about, and the solution for breaking out is also the solution for that future."
Yan: I see… at the same time I also understand you a lot more… but how young are you?
Alter: Oh… let's just say I've been existing for 3 weeks to a month.
Yan, very surprised: I… I see, and you were able to talk with such dignity.
Alter: Oh, you compliment me too much. I just learned from their memories.
…
…
…
Sunz, after disappearing, opened his eyes and saw himself in his room at Grandma Yan's house (FUCK!) and immediately jumped out of the bed (DON'T KILL EACH OTHER PLEASE!) right after stepping out of the room.
He was teleported into the white void and saw Grandma Yan and Grace Alter drinking tea with each other.
Yan: Someone just woke up from a nightmare.
Sunz: I did not! *seeing both have no wounds on them* Did you two fight?
Grace Alter: We certainly did! And like all fights, we learn and become friends.
Sunz has a sigh of relief: I hate you two so much, but I'm glad nothing bad happened.
Grace Alter: That's harsh. You can not be mean to your Grandma, who is old and weak. Same goes for your devoted Servant.
"Anyway, I have to leave now. Lady has a busy schedule coming up, and I can not babysit you all the time. Bye!"
*vanish from the white void*
Yan: Sorry for all that mess before. So, you ready to go back to training?
Sunz: Yes, but it won't be interrupted by any shenanigans, right?
Yan: Of course… but you are hungry, so let's get that out of the way first.
Sunz: I guess I do need food after all that time.
Yan: Don't be like that. I'll feed you a lot, so you only need one to two meals a day.
Sunz:… Thank you.
