I didn''t think about that. "But then... what about Yeon Althain? Didn''t she go MIA on a mission? Wasn''t that at least seventy years ago?"


    So, that means the Order exists even less than seventy years. That explains why the Elites'' progress isn''t that far. The map Aisha showed me before only showed a few discovered places.


    Can you be a Speaker without realizing it? Isn''t that very troubling? How do you recognize one?


    Oh dear, well, I''ll have to get used to these kinds of questions too...


    Is he hiding something? A glimmer of Fes covered Ayuki''s iris before it vanished. "Were you perhaps—listening to the meeting we just had earlier?"


    He actually came? That means he saw some benefit from the meeting. It''s good that he came, but for some reason, he''s feeling very conflicted now. Did the squad mention something disturbing? I should ask what''s bothering him.


    What''s this familiar sensation I''m feeling? Déjà vu? Did I experience this before? Still, what a great looking knife! The satisfying weight when you hold it in your hand, the way the light reflects on the blade''s edges—it feels thrilling.


    He''s still a bit vague about his past, but it''s understandable. I won''t ask for it until he feels more comfortable with it. "Okay then. You can still count on my support for that."


    I didn''t think he could be that formal; it''s a bit funny. "Ah, don''t worry about that. My memories will come along just fine, I think. More importantly, I wish to find out more about my ability."

    He''s better at it than the other Observers.

    Part of what Flynner said is indeed correct. Whether it is true or not, it is essential to consider the worst goals an intruder can have, so that we can prepare for that kind of situations. What can be achieved here in Varyion? What is the most dangerous thing an intruder can do here?The worst thing I can think of so far is—the deactivation of our walls; to break down the hope that has protected us for centuries. I don''t know why one would want such a thing, but if one would aim for that, I''ll personally exterminate that person no matter the cost.
