"I do appreciate your honesty, though. I always thought your kind would be more suspicious about non-humans like us," Koakuma says as she takes the tray. She turns to face Anon and gives him a bright smile.

"I'm starting to see why the Mistress has taken interest in you. In fact, I wouldn't mind getting to know you a bit better myself."

Anon simply nods in reply, dazzled by her smile. He feels himself blushing and staring like an idiot. Koakuma blushes as well, before turning toward the door.

"I don't mean anything special by that," she adds as she tries to leave the room. She walks straight into the still-closed door and falls on the floor. Somehow, she still has the tray balanced. She gets back up, gives Anon a quick bow, and hurries out of the room.

Anon breaks out of his stupor a few moments later. For the lack of a better word, Anon feels like he was entranced by the whole scene. He sighs as realizes that he is still back to square one, with even more questions and no answers. He also lost what may have been important clues.

He lies on the bed and decides to stare at the ceiling for a while. He can probably try to explore the Mansion at night. But he decides against it; that route is better left to those who have Mystic Eyes. Realizing his own exhaustion, he closes his eyes, falling asleep instantly.
