Kirumi Tojo's Palace | The Ultimate Maid's Failures



By now everyone may be used to find themselves in bizarre locations, between going into palaces and visiting Nekyia. It might not come as a surprise that it has happened again.

What might come as a surprise, though...is how empty this place is.

All around you there's nothing more than a large, gray, featureless expanse. In the distance there seem to be bars, curving upwards to gather so, so high above you, possibly hundreds of miles above, so high it’s hard to distinguish.

It’s a cage. So unfathomably large. You could escape, were you to get to the edges of the cage, but...it would take forever. No matter how you look at it, you're trapped. The atmosphere is so...hopeless. Devoid of anything even remotely positive.

Not that you want to hang around for long, do you? After all, this is someone's palace. Not a place to stick around at. What to do, though?

It’s all so...empty. Silent. Featureless. A flat expanse of hard gray tiles.

Gather together, everyone. Gather and choose a direction. North, East, West, South. All directions look completely identical, but could it affect your time in this place, somehow? Probably not. But all treks start with the first step. Perhaps, if you get moving, you'll progress?

[There's still something to save in there. Sayaka knows it. She refuses to let herself be bogged down in fear, to be bogged down in what ifs and what could be. What's here in front of them is an objective, and it's one that Sayaka intends to see through. She closes her eyes briefly, gripping her sword tight, and she speaks to herself calmly.

It's about time she lives up to the path of the knight she wants to be, and save a girl who simply wanted to be noticed.]

...My brothers. You've both guided me for so long. May I make you both, and everyone else here, proud.

[Sayaka's eyes open.

She'll attempt to rush down the strange new form with all of her might with a Giant Slice (3), though it appears she can't grasp the true form of the monster just yet.]
