''Hmmm?''
"This is… The two heads…?"
The only meaning behind the fact that twomunication channels have been created when there has been only one ''AI creature'' on the table meant that...
"Yup, both our interactive AI share the same body."
"Does this also have to do with you two being twins or something…?"
From a neutral point of view, all yers should have separate identities once they entered the game, at least ording to what thepany told us, that could also be seen in howpletely unalike the supposed twins are, yet somehow and disregarding how they met again, their interactive AI was fused together.
This at least means that they should have gone through their ''beginner vige'' together…
"Well, they were separate entities that looked like normal four-legged lizards at the beginning, but they suddenly fused together at one point, in fact quite recently. The reason Yamata hasn''t spoken and looks so clueless is caused by this, which seems like some sort of a quick… well, a not so quick ''reboot''..."
"Well, at least it still worked out the linkage without any problem..."
Though quite suspicious, the exnation given by ''ra'' seemed to hold some truth to it. At least, it did seem like one of the spontaneous acts that aremitted by the game system, not that it was my own business anyway…
"So, how exactly do you n to cooperate with us, Lan-san?"
The first step, which was normally supposed to be thest step, establishingmunication, was taken care of in a very swift and somewhat smooth manner, showing once again how helpful it was to have a half-psychic on the other end.
Though this ''ra'' wasn''t nearly as urate as the vige chief who was almost a true mind reader, she at least didn''t require much exining or guarantees to proceed to the main point.
"Since everything has proceeded this fast, I guess I will just get to point… I n to leave this domain quite soon."
"So there was indeed a way to move through domains… that exins your sudden appearance here…"
''ra''s face only showed surprise for a split second before she seemed to have ''perceived'' that I was speaking the truth, what followed did indeed exin that they have already been in the domain since the beginning. It was very likely that joining the tournament was something that they did after more than a year of training and preparation.
It was also simrly very likely that they had stumbled on something that revealed the traces of the demons or else they would have had a quest rted to that, it… could even be something rted to their identity as a native.
My identity was obviously nothing usual as a supposedly disappearing prince of the strongest empire in a whole domain, while Jean''s was that of genius that should have climbed the ranks of the strongest organization of the same domain, so it would be unnatural if their ''native'' identities were nothing special…
"To be exact, I am not capable of leaving the domain immediately as of now, however, just as you said, I did do it once through a very special method that I intend to try and find a way to use it once more, which obviously means I do n to give up my current standing in the Elemental de Sect or the whole world of sects to be more specific to achieve my target…"
Since that ident when I almost died thanks to the interruption of the ''Demonic Sovereign'' and the timely help of the half-sky dragon that has been using my arm as a carrier, I had been unable to contact the Dragon Ancestor in any manner…
Naturally, without the humorous ''grandpa''s help, I didn''t exactly know of another method to leave the domain and achieve another ''stage clear'' so I could only look for clues in that direction.
As such, considering that peace and great changes have taken over the world of sects, which no longer required my assistance, I nned to go around searching for traces of any dragons who may have gone into hiding within the domain, in hope they could establish the connection between my and the Dragon Ancestor once more while also possibly figuring out what might have gone wrong with the slumbering sky dragon…
"So you don''t n on bringing us along or… ''to be more specific'', you can''t, meaning that this isn''t a ''party invitation'', which is quite expected for someone like you who schemed against the whole demon army that was hidden in the domain. A loner that does things on his own, but his moves cause great waves, in that case… you want us to look after what you have managed to preserve?"
"That is mostly correct, yes, but there is no need to put it in that degrading manner. We are all simply trying to survive in this chaotic world to have our wishes aplished and I''m just asking for both you and me to watch each other''s backs. Naturally, I also n to use my favors with the Elemental de Sect and The Cult of Elements to ask for them to provide you with proper support."
Just like how I and Jean kept in touch from time to time as he started to emotionally recover from his shock and till the recent stop as he started to drown himself in training to improve himself with the support from the Lightning Brigade and even the royal family, I believed that supporting these twins just the same was only right to be ready for the unknown future.
Even though no signs of demons have been spotted so far in the Light Domain, the Nature Domain had more of a possibility for another sprouting of demons since I didn''t exactly have the Dragon''s Ancestor''s help to purify the whole domain this time as well since things have taken a different turn of events, so having two strong, growing reporters here to watch out for these unfortunate possibilities was naturally even more important…
"In that case…"
