The time was roughly five minutes past nine, according to the digital clock in Seina's room. Right now, the young man had gone to the store to help his parents with closing activities which meant that the sister dolls had the room to themselves. Their tea time had gone smoothly with the brew helping to sooth Seina's apprehensions at the events which happened to him today. "So now that you've spoken to my Master, what's your impression of him?" asked Souseiseki.
Suiseiseki placed down her own tea cup. "He's nice for a human but seems to be a bit dull, desu."
Her twin gave a chuckle. "There's just no satisfying you. With all the masters we've had so far, you seem to focus on whatever negative traits they have and complain about it."
"Is it so much to ask to have a genuine kind-hearted human who happens to be really cool as well, desu?" She sighed. "I know what you're trying to do, desu."
"He's not such a bad master. And having a Medium improves your chances of surviving duels in the N-Field." Souseiseki wondered if she could have fended off Suigintou without the boost given from Seina. Even without a Medium, she is one of the more powerful Dolls in the Rozen Maiden series.

"I'm home!" A male dressed in a black school uniform dragged himself to his room with the intention of just relaxing. That notion went out the window the second he opened the door to his room. "What the hell?!?"
The room was more or less trashed. Bits of glass and tea stains were everywhere from the ruined tea set. A number of red rose petals and black feathers were scattered all over the place. The glass window had been broken and he could vaguely see a small figure fly away from the premises. The doll in the centre of the room murmured something under her breath and turned around to see her Medium and servant. "You're home? Good... then you can clean up this mess. It's past my bedtime."
A look of disbelief was on the male's face as he saw Shinku casually open her case and hop inside. "What?!? I just came home from cram school and..."
"Good night, Ikeda." With that said, she closed the case promptly.

When Seina returned to the room at around 9:35 PM, he was surprised to see Suiseiseki curtsy in front of him. "Welcome back, desu."
"Okay... what is going on?" asked the confused young man, boggled at how the cute doll doing a curtsy in front of him was the same doll that pulled off a decent Interrogator from Hell earlier.
"Suiseiseki is in need of a Medium and she has decided to ask you to be her new Master," answered Souseiseki.
The Third Doll got back into her normal stance. "I've always been together with my sister and you seem to be an adequate human so... would you accept the responsibility of guarding my Rosa Mystica, desu?"
"Uh... I guess so. What do I need to do? I already got a ring from Souseiseki and I kissed it earlier to activate our contract before we entered that other realm where we found you," commented the boy.
"Ah. Just wait..." A small green spark of light emerged from Suiseiseki's body and entered Seina's ring, making it glow green as well. "Now all you have to do is kiss the ring, desu."
He pressed his lips to the ring and Suiseiseki felt a new source of energy flow into her. "The bond has been solidified," murmured Souseiseki.
Seina exhaled softly and looked at the twin Gardener dolls. 'Now I have a second servant doll... what have I gotten myself into?'
