===Telyb’s Sight Mode: In DT Yard===

'''<Telyb’s Over Reload>

In Sight Mode, Telyb reread the Word Mail window open above Fooblicky’s head.

His eyes ran along the text displayed on the backlit window in the wind blowing below the artificial night sky.

“Hm.”

He bent backwards and took a step back.

He placed his hands on the railing and tilted his head in thought.

Fooblicky closed the window and turned toward him with a similar expression.

“That was an awfully mellow message, but the last line sure was concise. The Yard already has a station in the castle and they have their own knights for protection, but now she wants more?”

“Either way, you still need to do complete the tasks I gave you.”

“That just leaves the Lives analysis. I should also send invitations to the Yard ambassadors deployed around the world. They should come running back for the open release, so I think I can throw something together.”

“Please do,” said Telyb before looking to the south.

The distant details became visible.

A giant tower jutted into the night sky to the south. It was Babel, the word tower with small flashing lights at a few points.

Telyb lowered his gaze from that tower that looked so dark at the moment.

Medical facilities, commercial facilities, and an amusement park sat the feet of Babel, surrounding the southern mountain. The buildings were only visible as silhouettes, but they were some of the few modern structures in DT.

His eyes landed on the amusement park in particular. A blimp floated in the sky above it.

His lips parted without even a hint of a smile and he spoke his thoughts aloud.

“The problem is Algo Everquest. Who are Alternative Kobayashi’s father and sister he mentioned? Knowing that would tell us if he is a terrorist or a skilled idealist.”

“Eh?”

“That would tell us if those two are the kind of people who could have taught Algo the three factors needed for a godtact experiment. If he isn’t aware of them, then he is a terrorist dreaming of performing a godtact experiment. If he is aware, then he is likely skilled enough to have set everything up to realize his ideals. Then even today was likely part of that setup.”

Telyb sounded disgusted by the idea and Fooblicky smiled a little.

“Let’s hope Yuo and that stupid man’s investigation shows some results then. Hopefully they find something before tomorrow morning.”

She grabbed the railing and stood alongside him.

He spoke to her while she stood up on her toes to see out over the railing.

“If those two do find something before then, then we can reveal a portion of the past to Aoe ahead of the open release. The other Demigods probably won’t like that, though.”

Fooblicky shut her eyes.

“I wonder how much Yuo has figured out about her hidden past.”

“Yes, she did a lot of research in the past, so there are times when I wonder if she actually knows everything. Do you know what she said to me before leaving for the library earlier?” He took a breath. “ ‘Make sure to tell me even more after tomorrow’s open release.’ ”

“It wouldn’t surprise me if she’s figured it out. Like you said earlier, the city is rife with evidence of our Minus guilt about Yuo and Suedomsa. All the divine symbolism could have clued her in to her identity.” Fooblicky laughed in an exasperated way before realization struck her. “Oh. Come to think of it, Suedomsa’s emblem is symbolic too.”

“It sure is,” agreed Telyb before describing the symbol he had seen in the past. “His emblem is a cross.”
