In a flash, Burumizu was bound by glowing, pink ropes.
"I have given you an order! Who are you!?"
Burumizu simply chuckled. "And I have given you an answer. But I see you are confused- Perhaps I could explain... over a cup of tea?"
Shinku released Burumizu. "Very well. Jun, please prepare some tea."
"Well, I suppose it would be best to start at the beginning." Shinku and Burumizu sat at opposite ends of the kitchen table, with Kanaria, Suiseiseki, and Jun in between them, and Nori in the kitchen, listening intently.
"When Father finished making the first seven Rozen Maidens, he stopped making dolls for a period of about two years. By that time, he decided that Alice could not be brought about by simply watching and waiting, so he began to make dolls once more. I was the first. There are ten more which follow me."
"T- Ten ~desu?" stuttered Suiseiseki.
"Yes," replied Burumizu, taking a sip of tea.
Shinku set her cup down with a clink. "Have you met any of them?"
"Yes. To this date, I have come into contact with the tenth, thirteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth Rozen Maidens."
"Could you tell us anything about these other ten dolls?" Nori spoke for the first time.
"Well, I can only tell you what I know. Raikou, the tenth maiden, is currently awake, although I cannot tell you where she is. She controls weather, and weilds two silver daggers. Kasai is the thirteenth. She uses heat and fire as her weapons. Keikoku is the sixteenth, and the one I have had the most contact with. She is said to be the closest to Alice, because of her pure beauty and kind nature, though she is known for her strong opposition of the Game. She is also currently awake. Kurokocho is seventeenth. She controls insects."
"Wow, ~kashira..." Kanaria sighed.
Burumizu got out of her seat and began walking towards the hall.
"Where are you going?" said Jun.
"I need to find a medium, don't I?"
YAAAY!
