Yuo: <Oh, wow. He’s really here! What gives, Senpai!?>

Aoe: <What’s with you? You’re acting kind of silly.>

Yuo: <Oh, that. I’m missing some programs at the moment. So what are you doing here?>

Yuo: <Feel free to be honest. Were you worried sick about me? Were you afraid I would fall into the bad guy’s hands? Or did you want to pay back the money I lent you?>

Aoe: <Well, I’m not telling you now, idiot.>

Yuo: <Oh, I see.>

Aoe: <Mh?>

Yuo: <nowiki><I</nowiki> can tell. All I have to do is look at your text here. Maybe you can’t tell from my text, but I’m really happy. I’m moved. Really!>

Aoe: <Mh. I see. Then feel free to strip for joy. You have my permission.>

Yuo: <Eh? Um, uh, can we do this negotiation later? Like after you’ve finished rescuing me? Because I think I’ll have an easier time of it then.>

Aoe: <You fool. I’m not the kind of jerk who demands a girl’s body in exchange for rescuing her.>

Yuo: <Hm? Um, Senpai? I was only talking about stripping. My body? Um…>

Yuo: <Uh, well, that might be on the table if you risk your life to rescue me but get badly injured in the process and then I’m nursing you back to health and you whisper just the right words in my ear. In fact, there’s a very high chance it would happen then.>

Aoe: <That’s awfully specific for something that definitely isn’t happening.>

Yuo: <Well, I don’t expect my fantasies to be realistic. Yeah, you’re probably too strong to get badly injured… Which too bad, but probably for the best.>

Yuo: <Oh, but enough escapism. So in all seriousness, what are you doing here?>

Aoe: <nowiki><I</nowiki> am here to rescue you.>

Yuo: <Well, this is sudden. Besides, how are you supposed to rescue me? You wouldn’t be much help if you showed up here. I’ve sealed myself in, so I can’t leave this room.>

Aoe: <We only need to hold on until Telyb gets here, but we thought you would have a hard time of it all on your own. You know what the enemy is trying to do, don’t you? And who Suedomsa really is?>

Yuo: <Eh? Um, yes, I suppose I do. You mean that they want to run a godtact experiment and that Suedomsa is my dad, right?>

Aoe: <Mh. Then have you figured out they want you as the godtact experiment vessel?>

Yuo: <…Eh?>

Aoe: <They intend to use you as the vessel for the godtact experiment they are about to run.>

Yuo: <Um. Don’t I get a say?>

Aoe: <It isn’t clear if they care about that at all, but they also said they would be erasing your current memories and overwriting them with the memories of the old you who volunteered to be a vessel.>

Yuo: <Wh-why would they want to do that!?>

Aoe: <According to one of them, your past self wanted to be a godtact experiment vessel after giving up on everything. He said that was the real you, so you would want the same thing if those memories were restored.>

Yuo: <Eh? Umm, what’s all this about me giving up?>

Aoe: <Mh. The point is they have some reason to want this. He seemed really insistent about it.>

Yuo: <Sorry about that. I lost my focus and dropped out for a second there.>

Yuo: <Let’s see. I don’t really understand any of this, but I will trust you on this matter.>

Yuo: <If anything happens, will you be there to hear me complain afterwards?>

Aoe: <Mh. The way I see it, they are trying to steal you away from me and return you to a time when you had given up. I refuse to let them do that.>

Yuo: <Thank you for that.>

Aoe: <Thanks for what?>

Yuo: <Oh, you know. That was an awful forceful way of putting it, but it’s a very you way of putting it.>

Aoe: <It was me saying it, so of course it was. Anyway, I will be there soon.>

Yuo: <nowiki><I</nowiki> suppose so. I’ll be waiting. I’ll send you a map showing my position and a management release program which I’m sure you want pretty badly at this point. Your Mouse will trigonize it, so use it when you’re ready. I have administrative privileges, so it will last 3 minutes. I will make sure it can be used for Grandloading.>

Aoe: <That isn’t very long.>

Yuo: <It’s hard to get permission because your attack power assessment was so high. How is one of your punches rated at 15% the power needed to conquer an entire city? But leave that one as a last resort. I will also send you a smaller release program that will let you use bladed weapons.>

Aoe: <nowiki><I</nowiki> should be fine with two programs. Oh, and remember that explosion you bottled up yesterday? I have that with me.>

Yuo: <What, are you planning to blow up the castle? But just in case, I’ll send you a release program and boost program for that. Your Mouse should be able to combine them, so use them whenever you’re ready.>

Yuo: <A-and…one other thing.>

Yuo: <You said the old me gave up and chose to become a vessel, right? If so…what was the Day of the Oracle prophecy about?>

Yuo: <nowiki><I</nowiki> apparently said everything would get better in 2000 years’ time, but was that the great god giving me a prophecy for everyone else because I had given up and decided to leave everything in those other people’s hands?>

Aoe: <How should I know? But remember: it is up to us whether or not that prophecy comes true.>

Yuo: <So you say. You always have liked showing off, haven’t you?>

Yuo: <But once we get past all of this, we should really talk about some things.>
