===Aoe’s Continued Sight Mode: In DT Castle===

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Aoe ran.

He was 10 yards away from the Questron’s core.

He was 9 yards away as he weaved between the ceiling rubble.

He was 7 yards away as he leaped over a large cable.

He was 6 yards away as two windows opened in front of him.

'''<1st Demigod Program: Portal: Run>

'''<Range Set: DT Boost Settings Change: x100→x1000: Apply>

He was 5 yards away as he muttered for himself to hurry and arrived at the base of the Questron.

He was 4 yards away as his footsteps rang loud and hard.

He heard a roar like a dog’s howl from behind.

He was 3 yards away as he looked back.

Some people were moving by the room’s entrance, past the giant diskette program. Daikatana and Algo with Alternative were moving his way. But someone else ran out ahead of them – Myst and the beast drawn out by her pen.

The blue wolf charged toward him once its drawing was complete.

“Kh.”

Aoe wasn’t sure if he should respond or not, but Monkey jumped down from his shoulder.

Monkey looked his way in the air before transforming into his standard form. He became a full-sized brown dog standing more than a yard tall.

Monkey ran faster than the wolf to intercept it.

Aoe heard barking and growling, but…

“Take care of that for me.”

He faced forward again and took another step, bringing him 2 yards away.

He viewed the glowing cylinder out ahead and saw 25 seconds remaining on the digital clock overhead. By then, 
he was 1 yard from the center of the Questron.

He sensed something at his feet and saw a ferret there.

“Yuo’s weasel.”

He tossed a program trigon to the ferret while he took the final step.

The trigon contained Yuo’s hearing.

Aoe smiled bitterly when he saw the ferret jump into the air to catch and swallow it.

“We got lucky.” He sighed as this distance dropped to 0 yards. “Now Yuo can hear my voice in Board Mode too.”

As long as she Over Reloaded, she could receive his name. Since she lacked her memories of him, that name would have no meaning to her, but she would still know he was here.

So he looked to Yuo within the cylindrical defense shield at the center of the Questron.

Her eyes were shut and she was naked while she floated motionlessly inside.

“Quit calling this a godtact experiment. You’re just using that fancy name to make it sound important, but it’s really just…”

'''“Some lewd ritual!”

An emblem appeared on his fist as he raised his voice.

“Yuo! If you’re in Board, then read these words and Over Reload!”

And…

“Whether you’re in Board or Sight, listen to this!”

He punched the defense shield.

It felt hard, like he had punched a stone wall, but the sound was much more promising. It sounded like he had punched glass.

He shouted a question over that sound.

“Can you hear my punch!? Yuo, where are you right now!?”

A change eventually came over her expression.

She wrinkled her brow a little like she was waking up. It was the minimal change characteristic of Board Mode.

But it was enough to tell Aoe that she was still alive.

He felt rather than thought that he didn’t want to lose her and a word spilled from his mouth.

The word carried immense relief because he knew it would reach her.

“Yuo.”
