When Arthur arrives in Roswaal mansion what is his first opinion about the mansion? Just one word 'Huge!'

The Mansion is a giant white house with five watchtowers with the fifth one being the center one, a giant garden and a black roof. It is surrounded by a forest known as the Kremaldy Forest.

"We're arrive, this mansion is own by my supporter Margrave Roswaal. Well, if you meet him in person you must prepare because he is slightly... unusual"

Arthur pretends to hear everything that Emilia says because he knows this mansion quite well, what he worried the most is the clown reaction.

Arthur predicts because he is not a part of this world then the gospel in Roswaal hand will not mention anything about his arrival. Even though Puck permits him to follow Emilia, Roswaal maybe will not permit the existence of unknown variables that can disrupt his plan to resurrect Echidna.

"Welcome back, Emilia-sama" At the door to the mansion a pair of siblings are giving their greeting to Emilia

"I'm back, Ram-San, Rem-San. Can I know if Roswaal is in the home?"

Arthur didn't need Emilia's help to recognize the two people he sees right now, who didn't know a pair of Oni siblings? Of course, someone who didn't like anime will not have knowledge about them.

"Arthur, this is the eldest sister Ram, and the little sister Rem. Both of them is a maid that work for Roswaal and responsible for anything in this mansion" after Emilia ask several things she wants to know from the siblings she introduced him to Ram and Rem

"Please to met you, Arthur-sama" as if they practiced it before, Ram and Rem speak with the same timing and word

"Please to meet you too, Ram-San and Rem-San. Maybe you already know it that I will start to work for Emilia, so I hope we can get along and helping each other"

"I will go inside first, you can following Rem-san because she will arrange a room for you" Emilia walk to the mansion followed by Rem

"Please follow me, Arthur-sama" Ram leads Arthur to the fourth floor and tell him several important rooms that he needs to know

"Rem-San, can you stop use honorific to me?" Arthur voice out his discomfort because this is the first time someone calling him with such honorific and it feel very weird to him

"That's impossible, Emilia-sama is a future queen of this kingdom and Arthur-sama is her knight, our hierarchy is different so Ram need to call you like that" Ram rejects Arthur and answer like it was a matter of fact

When Arthur heard her answer he remember if this is a place with a monarchy political system so position and bloodline are very important. Without he realize it Arthur and Ram arrive on the fourth floor and stop in front of a door

"This is your room, the only door at the end of this corridor is Emilia-sama room. You can take a rest inside immediately because Ram can testify if this room is very clean" Ram open the door and walk inside ahead of Arthur

'Even if you say you can testify it but the one who cleaning every room in this mansion everyday is definitely Rem' remembering how bad the girl in front of him compared to her little sister Arthur can't help to make a comment inside his heart

"Either Ram or Rem will inform you if the dining time comes, do you need anything else?" After inspecting there is nothing wrong with the room, Ram stood outside of the door and ask him

"There is nothing, for now, you can continue your.... err, work. Thank you" Arthur feel wonder inside his heart if she describes as bad in every work she does, then can it be called as a work? Well, she is not his employee so he didn't need to think about it.

At his room Arthur take out the Kusanagi Sword from the system inventory, this is a straight double-edged sword with a width of 3cm and 70cm length and the sword had a black scabbard and matching hilt.

Arthur wants to test the sword sharpness so he creates a block of ice and slashes it with the sword, even though he didn't use that much strength the sword cut through the block of ice easily without resistance.

When Arthur equips all of his equipment he feels a bit weird because there is already a knife set strapped to his wais and where he can put the sword? Carrying it with his hand all the time? Of course, that's not a solution so he stores it back to the system storage.

"System why there is level for Senbonzakura but there isn't for Hiraishin no Jutsu?" This is not because he really wants to know the reason behind this but because after he calculated how much system point he needs to upgrade Senbonzakura to the maximum level it will need 496.000 system point

^Hiraishin no Jutsu is a safety reason given by the system for the Host to increase the survival ability of the Host, so the ability is given at maximum level without the need to upgrade it again^

^Senbonzakura is an ability that has several stages so for the Host safety it was divided into three-part. The first part is below level five, in this stage Host just has access to Shikai form. At the second stage host need to reach level five to reach this stage, and at this stage Host can use Bankai form. And the last stage is when you reach level ten, at that level Host can use Senbonzakura power without limitation^

"There is a limitation?" Arthur quite surprise because there is no such a thing mentioned when he bought Senbonzakura

^Senbonzakura is a shinigami power, so if your soul is not strong enough there will be consequences if Host use it without limitation^

^Every upgrade will increase the synchronization between Host soul and Senbonzakura power^

"It makes a sense" after hearing explanation given by the system Arthur feel slightly better

Yes, just a little bit. Because no matter what he feels it will not decrease the amount of system point he needs to reach level ten.

When he is still inside the trial dimension there is a time he found a cave near pond of water and decided to use it as his base so he makes it comfortable as much as he can but no matter how comfortable then cave is it still pale in comparison with the soft bed where he is lying now.

Drowsiness ȧssaults him just a moment after he lay on the bed and slowly his consciousness is invited by the dream world. Maybe it was because of mental fatigue for living alone in the forest for six months or maybe it was because he feels safe in the mansion, after several minutes he enters very deep sleep and didn't know if there is someone who is entering his room.

...

It was evening—the sun had already set in the west, just as the crescent moon took its place in the night sky—when the secret report took place.

It was a large room. The center had a table and tall chairs for receiving guests; farther within, the room was furnished with a chair and desk for its owner to conduct his writing affairs. The ebony desk had sheets and feather pens are strewn over it, besides which stood a cup that was still steaming, a gentle aroma wafting up from it.

This was the uppermost floor in Roswaal Manor's main wing, the private study of its lord, Roswaal L. Mathers

"There is something that bothering you, Roswaal-sama?"

"Hmmm.... you're right, Ram" Roswaal close his book and look at Ram with his usual smile "There is something that unpredictable appear and I'm confused about how to handle it"

"Please pardon me Roswaal-sama, because Ram didn't know if you encounter such trouble. If you want you can tell me what to do, Ram will try her best to solve it" Ram bows her head and answer apologetically

"Naaah, it's not something that important, what more important is about our guest"

"Are you talking about Arthur-sama?" Ram asks with a little confusion

"Yes, Emilia-sama is just going out yesterday and now she is back with someone else she calls as her knight" Roswaal rotate his chair and look at the crescent moon in the sky before he looks back to Ram and beckoning his hand "Come here"

"Yes, Roswaal-sama" Ram walk without hesitation and sitting right across Roswaal's ŀȧp

"What he is doing now?" His voice was like a whisper, but it reached its mark with no difficulty

"I'm just leaving him for a moment before I back to his room with Emilia-sama but he is sleep when we enter because there is no answer after I knocked on the door and called his name" Ram heard her master's voice in her ear as he stroked her pink hair

"Are you think that's just an act?"

"That's nearly impossible, for someone who is sleeping with a set of knives strapped to his body it was unthinkable he will let someone else take it and do as we wish." Ram sighed a little, shifted her position in her master's arms, and sank farther against him. He gave Ram's pink hair a good stroke with his palm.

"Well, the great spirit is permitting him to stay by her side so there is zero possibility he is involved"

"Yes, he will stand out too much to have been sent to infiltrate this house"

"Theeenn... let's just see how it will progress from now on" as he spoke Roswaal pulled the curtain over the window

What happened after that, not even the moon was given the privilege to see.
