===Aoe’s Board Mode: In DT Castle===

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

You are in 1F Audience Chamber Entrance Passageway, a Top Page of the castle.

The current time is 3:32 PM.

The passageway is 5 yards wide, 4 yards tall, and 20 yards long.

You have just entered from the adjacent page, 1F Audience Chamber.

You carry one PC Body in your arms: Yuo Suedomsa Wav.

One old-style NPC Body is in the passageway: Daikatana Uriel Undefined.

Aoe: “Just when I thought we were safe after leaving that secret passageway behind the throne, I run into you.”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Daikatana notices you and turns to face you.

He makes one final statement into the window he has open and then closes it.

Aoe: “What was that window? Looked to me like you were talking into it.”

Daikatana: “That was from Mekton and Master Algo on their way to our headquarters. They told me to buy them time.”

Yuo: <Time to set up a new Questron at Babel?>

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Daikatana is in Sight Mode without any sight program active. He cannot read Yuo’s window.

Aoe: “Time to set up a new Questron at Babel?”

Daikatana: “Indeed. It should take them approximately 3 koku. That means until around 9:30 PM today. That is also around when the disease Master Algo shares with Master Alternative comes to an end.”

Aoe: “Huh? But I thought their limit was 3:40.”

Yuo: <Because of the x1000 boost.>

Daikatana: “Babel continues to accumulate the Great God Lives from the ley lines. Once the Questron is back up and running, the two of them will be able to summon the great god. If they are stopped…”

Yuo: <Babel will become oversaturated with Great God Lives and explode?>

Daikatana: “Indeed. Which will lead to mass destruction just as it did for Master Yuo 2000 years ago.”

Daikatana: “You have 3 koku. That might seem like plenty of time, but in truth…”

Daikatana: '''“I only need an instant.”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

A metal gray emblem appears on Daikatana’s staff.

Daikatana: “The 3 koku will pass in no time once you are injured.”

Aoe: “Oh? Big talk for the guy who turned tail and ran last time.”

Daikatana: “I will not be as careless this time.”

Aoe: “Then are you planning to use your strongest power to test me like Myst did and Suedomsa told you to?”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Daikatana raise his head and nods.

Daikatana: “So Myst did this as well. I will of course do so. And Mekton agreed when I relayed Master Suedomsa’s message just now. I can assume Excel has already done so, so by the end we will all have tested whether or not you are worthy of Master Yuo and given her a memento so she will not worry for us after we are gone.”

Aoe: “Yes. Excel passed away after confirming that Yuo was a better programmer than him. And Myst sent her a picture.”

Aoe: “So what will you be giving us?”

Daikatana: “I will demonstrate my strongest sword technique for Master Yuo.”

Aoe: “Sword?”

Daikatana: “Indeed. My strongest sword technique exceeds DT’s frame limit and becomes no more than a hitbox. Demonstrating it and having it accepted will prove I have my own strongest power.”

Aoe: “And that will eliminate Yuo’s anxiety over losing you?”

Daikatana: “Before she fell to resignation, we made a promise. When I was lamenting that my sword was only good for killing, she accepted it from a Minus perspective by saying it was beautiful regardless.”

Daikatana: “I promised to show her my most beautiful Minus sword technique…and I will do so even though she cannot see.”

Daikatana: “Then, even if she has lost me, she will still remember the promise I fulfilled and the power of my blade.”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Daikatana reaches his left hand into his pocket and pulls out a program trigon.

The trigon contains Yuo’s sight program.

Daikatana: “I have Master Yuo’s sight program trigon here and I promise to return it after our battle.”

Aoe: “Mh? How can she see your sword technique before you return that?”

Daikatana: “I have always been blind. I developed my strongest sword technique from my blindness, so that will not be an issue. It is…a must-see.”

Aoe: “Fair enough. Then the question is whether or not I am strong enough for you to use this strongest sword technique against me. And if I want to prove I’m worthy of Yuo, I have to defeat you after seeing that technique. Do I have that right?”

Daikatana: “Indeed. I ask that you assist me. I have determined you are the worthy opponent I have been searching for. So now you must confirm my technique using your fists.”
