4 Chapter IV

The Butler, Damone, informed from the intercome. "We have arrived, Miss Illyra."

"Alright," she replied.

"Miss," the first maid held her hand, "from now on, when you get out of this car you will become Young Master Haruki. Only when you are in this car and returning home will you return as Miss Illyra." she emphasized on returning home strongly.

"Alright."

"Ah! I almost forgot." the first maid rummaged through her pocket and gave her a key. A house key. "This is Mister Ingvar's gift to young Miss Illyra for her first undercover mission." said the first maid. "Miss only needs to contact Sir Damone and he will explain what the gift entails." she nodded.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, Miss."

The car's door opened, Damone stood with Illyra's suitcase. Looking at the familiar sight in front of her, she lamented. 'There's no doubt this is Gemini's Dorm.' she was sometimes watching her sister played the game after all.

"Thanks for the drive, Damone."

"It's my pleasure, young Master Haruki." he bowed at her.

"Thanks for taking care of me, you two." she addressed the two maids.

"Millie wishes young Master good luck." the first maid bowed.

'Aa, so that was her name.'

"Anne too, wishes young Master good luck."

"See ya!"

She walked to the entrance.

The building is not quite large but loomed proudly behind iron gates, flanked by rows of trees with crimson leaves, swaying gently to the chilly autumn wind. It had an elegant interior with original woodwork combined by a large yellow symbol of the Gemini's glyph.

Looking at the Gemini Dorm in front of her, she steeled her heart.

'I will not fall in love with the male lead!'

'I will survive the plotline!'

'I will find a way back home!'

After shouting her resolve, she calmed her heart, 'But before that, I will be Haruki Volkov from now on.' She then opened the door.

The temperature inside was quite warm. A large hall greeted her. It does have some furniture. A set of sofa and coffee table between two twin stairs connected to the second floor. There are two large doors on the right and left sides. She assumed leading to either a dining room or dorm's lounge.

There's a teenager who was sitting on the sofa, he's slightly older than her, placing the cup in his hand down. He stood up as she approaching him.

"Good afternoon. A new student, I presume?" he greeted.

"Good afternoon. I'm Haruki Volkov." she nodded. Examining his appearance.

The young man in front of her had a tanned body. He's tall with right proportions. Not too bulky, not too thin. His dark hair framed his youthful face making his smile quite charming too, not to mention his dimples.

"Nice to meet you, Volkov-kun. My name is Motoyama Takeshi." grasping her hand, he introduced himself, "I am in the third year and the head of the Gemini's Dorm."

"Nice to meet you, Motoyama-senpai."

Shaking his head, Motoyama said, "None of that. All of my Geminis call me Takeshi."

"Then, please call me Haruki, Takeshi-senpai." he smiled.

"I'll make it brief." she nodded, "The left door leads to the kitchen and the dining room. You'll find the mealtime schedule in there. As for the right door, it leads to the garden and indoor training center." he then gestured to follow him upstairs.

On the second floor, there are two wooden doors on each side of the walls. On the right and left sides of the stair, there is conjoined cozy nook with mini bookshelves, floor couches, floor cushions with a rug and few pillows, creating a comfortable environment.

"The first door from the left is Castor's Aisle belongs to the first year." He pointed to a young man carved on the door who was reaching out with his left hand. "The second on the right is Pollux's Aisle for the second year." that one carved young man reaching with his right hand instead. "And the last is the third year's, Dioscuri's Aisle on the third floor." he pointed at the single door on the third floor.

"The first and second years had to share their room and each room is for two-person. While the third year gets a room for themselves because they had to concentrate on the final exam."

"Is there a rule for trespassing the Aisles?" she asked, clarifying.

"No, of course not." Takeshi cheerfully laughs, "This dormitory's rule is quite simple. There's a guidebook for Geminis in your table. You can read the rules and ask me for anything you don't understand."

Coming in the Castor's Aisle, the two of them stopped at the second door to the left. "Here's your room." Takeshi pointed at the name-tags. "Volkov, right?" she nodded, "It seems your roommate, Salvatore, has yet to arrived." he then turned to her, "Well. Welcome to the Gemini's Dorm." he grasped her shoulder. She repressed the urge to brushed his hand aside, "I'll let you settle in. If you need anything, I'll be in room number 308 or the living room where we met earlier."

Finally alone in her room, after choosing the right side bed she began to unpack.

Sets of school clothes, check.

Formal clothes, check.

Casual clothes, check.

Outerwear, check.

Pajamas, check.

Towels and toiletries, check.

Sanitary pads... check.

Man... boxers... check.

'Wait!'

Mikki picked one of the boxers and her hand touched something soft and solid before drawing in horror and dropped it back.

"What the heck!?" she shuddered, 'What's that thing?' her eyes then catches a piece of paper. "A note?"

[For my sweet sweet baby sister, Illyra.

I heard that you'll receive your first mission. So, your beautiful sestra gave you sets of clothes since I know you'll just let the maids packing for you. Oh! you must've known now that I gave you special male undergarments. *giggles* Do not fret my sweet sestra. It's for your own good. And I guarantee you won't be disappointed. *kiss* *kiss* *kiss*

With love, your beautiful sestra, Ingrid.]

She can only sigh.
