Chapter 10: True Purpose

                                    

                                          
Wednesday, 29th of April -Dark Hour- [Tartarus]
                          
Minato: Make it quick, guys. A few more and we're done!
                          
Minato's voice echoes in the labyrinth. Junpei, Yukari and Minako nod at his command. Before entering Tartarus, everyone were scared that Minato will go hulk-mode again but thankfully, he manage to control himself this time. This expedition gave them more experience than the first one. After all, how can you get experience when there is a shadow-destroying godzilla having a rampage in the building?
                          
Junpei: Ta da da da! Junpei has leveled up!
                          
Yukari: Yes! My skill level has increased!
                          
Minako: That's the last of them, brother!
                          
Minako cheers after defeating the last enemy. She throws her hands in the the air like she just don't care. Yukari and Junpei are happy and exhausted too. 
                          
Minato: Alright. Good job, guys. That's enough for tonight. Let's get back to the dorm.
                          
Yukari: Ah... thank goodness it was over. I am so tired..! I'm gonna sleep right after I get back.
                          
Junpei: Heh. Really? That's all you got, Yuka-tan?
                          
Yukari: Well, look who's talking! You're the one who's obviously tired!
                          
Junpei: Oh, yeah?! You wanna do round 2?
                          
Yukari: Bring it on, Stupei!
                          
Minato ignores the quarrel. His eyes are looking directly at Minako. She is looking at a blue card hovering in the air. On one side, there's a picture of a black and white mask while on the other side, there is a picture of an auburn-haired fairy wearing a purple one-piece bathing suit with long gloves and socks. With slight hesitation, she grabs the card and it immediately disappears. Then, she realizes that her brother is staring at her.
                          
Minako: Brother....what is that?
                          
Minato: It's a--
                          
Junpei: HEY DUDE! LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!
                          
Junpei yells from an Access Point, which is a green teleporter that brings people back to the entrance, several meters away. 
                          
Minato: I'll explain it another day. Don't worry, it won't harm you.
                          
Thursday, 30th of April -After school- [Classroom]

                          
In the classroom, Minato's cellphone rings. He looks at the screen. He is unable the recognize the number. Who could it possibly be? Usually, he would ignore the random calls. Out of curiosity, he answers it. A familiar female voice begins talking. Undoubtedly, it is Elizabeth. In the past, Elizabeth contacted him once in a while too. She will always tell him useful informations. He could never understand one thing though: How can the residents of the Velvet Room use phones?
                          
Elizabeth: Hello? This is Elizabeth. Please come to the Velvet Room. There's a matter we need to discuss.
                          
Minato: I guess I have to use the door I found the other day?
                          
Elizabeth: Yes. You may use the alternate entrance located in Paulownia Mall.
                          
Minato: Only NOW you decided to tell me? Why don't you tell me earlier? I have to go out of the dorm to look for the door for 7 hours with a chance of getting executed by senpai!
                          
Elizabeth: *chuckle* I'm sorry, Minato-kun. However, isn't that what makes life interesting?
                          
Minato: Well, I did save her in the end so...yeah, thanks for not telling me.
