After General Sabnock told Ms. Takahashi about the plan of the Phantom Order, she was overwhelmed with thought about Minoru and his life. For a few seconds, she thought, or more precisely, hoped all of this was a prank. But reality is often disappointing. There were so many signs pointing out that this was not a joke, like the grunts, there were just so many of them. The monsters like Synthetic Spider, Synthetic Bat, and Synthetic Cobra acted more like beast than human. Like anyone would eat through the mouth of a costume if they could just take the mask off? Those Synthetic Beasts also devoured food like beast.

After accepting the fact that the whole kidnapping thing happening to her was real, Ms. Takahashi thought of a way to escape. But there was no hope of escaping because she was tied to a chair by chains and the grunts kept their eyes on her all the time.

Synthetic Bat did deliver some food and water to her. She got released from the chains but the monster kept its eyes on her all the time until she finished eating. After that, it was back to be chained. The only time she was allowed to be unchained was when she asked to go to the WC. And the WC was like something from the Middle Age, and the room only had a dim light bulb with only one door serving as entrance / exit, no window.

After a few hours, Ms. Takahashi finally came to accept the fact that there was no way she could escape from this place, unless a miracle happened. She could only pray and tell herself that these mad people were mistaken about Minoru, who was only an innocent boy and no way could he be involved with them.

----------------------------------------

Ms. Takahashi was not aware how much time had passed since she was brought to this evil lair, but approximately 2 hours had gone-by when she saw the grunts began moving from their usual guard spots. They also moved her to another room with nothing much except the floor and the ceiling. Ms. Takahashi instinctively looked around the new place, and after squinting her eyes, she found out that Synthetic Spider was hiding on the dark ceiling above.

After a while, the metal door opened, and two handsome men appeared. And wow, they are so handsome, but wait, are they also members of the organization?, thought Ms. Takahashi. Before long, to her surprise, Synthetic Spider began to attack these two men.

And...

One of the men just transformed...the new form was dark, sinister, and...horns...

Anyone could tell that the man is a demon, provided that this is not a prank...
