===Yuo’s Sight Mode: Inside DT Castle===

'''<Yuo’s Over Reload>

Yuo was pacing her own room in the castle in Sight Mode.

She wore only light green underwear as she walked to and fro in the stone 12-square-meter room.

The window was open, but that arch-shaped slice of the sky was 3 stories up and pointed south. Only someone right up on her windowsill would be able to see her.

The feet sinking into the thick carpet in the center of the room were bare. That was a habit she had picked up during her time in Japan.

She was humming and tossing several different colors onto to the bed located next to her desk by the western wall.

They were dresses.

She was trying to choose one.

After throwing quite a few, she breathed a satisfied sigh and walked to the kitchen on the other side of the western wall.

She opened the fridge, pulled out some diet orange juice with x0.5 on it, poured a glass of it, and drank it. Then she looked back over to her bed in the distance.

'''<Yuo’s Over Zoom>

The red, white, green, light yellow, and yellowish green were all bright, lustrous colors. But…

“Knowing Senpai, he’ll show up in a black tank top.”

Her shoulders drooped in a sigh.

<Mom always wears reddish purple, so maybe I shouldn’t go with red.>

She returned the juice to the fridge, walked to the center of her room, and looked at herself in the mirror. After pushing some skin near her armpit below her bra, she looked to the color of her hair.

It was brown. And a light brown similar to her skin tone.

“That’s not the best balance. It would look nice contrasted with a white dress, but then my underwear would show through if I stood in the shadows during the day. What do you think?”

She turned toward her Mouse, the ferret named Puppy, who was sprawled out on the bed.

Puppy tilted her head and looked to the dresses on the bed.

She eventually gestured her chin toward the yellowish-green one on the far right.

Yuo smiled bitterly and looked down at herself. Her underwear was the same color as that dress.

“You aren’t telling me to go to the audience in my underwear, are you?”

Puppy tilted her head, deepening Yuo’s bitter smile.

Yuo checked the clock sitting on her bed’s built-in table. The analog hands said it was 10 AM.

“Puppy, any response from the providers?”

Puppy nodded and opened four windows. They each displayed a list of names.

“Good, good,” said Yuo as she tapped the side of the open windows to combine them into a single file. She then began a search of the data. The result popped up instantly. However…

“No matches. I was afraid of that.”

She sighed in disappointment. And after some hesitation, she shook her head.

She mouthed her nickname for a certain man and nodded. Then strength filled her gaze.

“Time to settle this. Puppy, I want to send identical Word Mails to Telyb and Senpai.”

<If I knew Senpai’s coordinates, I could send him a morning greeting on the Sight Page.>

''Oh, well,'' she concluded and approached the bed.

She picked up the green dress just as Puppy opened the requested mail window and tossed it her way.

She caught it and thought for a moment.

“Let’s see,” she began. “Set it to voice input. I can dictate the message while I get dressed. Oh, and attach the program I made last night to the one going to Senpai. The modified version of his attack management release program. It’s a bit big, but the system can handle it.”

Puppy nodded on the bed.

The mic symbol indicating voice input appeared on the mail window.

So did the triangle symbol indicating a program trigon.

She started speaking after seeing that. She described her suppositions for Telyb. It was the same conclusion she had settled on during her talk with Aoe last night.

While she was thinking and speaking, another window opened. It was a castle-level Word Mail window. It was sent by Akalabeth and was short and to the point.

The white window said, '''<Sir Suedomsa has arrived. Come to the audience chamber at once.>
