===Myst’s Sight Mode: In DT Castle===

'''<Myst’s Over Reload>

In the ceremony room, Myst covered her mouth with a hand and spoke to Excel with a tremor in her voice.

“In that case, Aoe’s only option is to stop Master Yuo’s resignation.”

“Why? She no longer remembers him, so why would she choose him over resignation?”

Myst nodded.

“When she first met him in Japan, she of course did not know him. And yet she chose him. She chose Plus Aoe Shouzou, who fought with a never-give-up spirit.”

Excel gasped and Myst shook her head.

“The thought scares me too. Not that Aoe could prevent her resignation, but that she might abandon her resignation but choose him over us and become our enemy.”

She took a breath and shut her eyes.

“Even if that does happen, I do hope she will consider what we used to have together and let us express our thanks before she becomes our enemy. Because if my calculations are correct, we should be able to thank her if she has Aoe with her!”

Excel frowned at that.

“Thank her? But how are we supposed to test her to prove she can get by without us? Teaching her she has surpassed us requires testing her with everything we have…but you just said earlier that isn’t an option.”

“There is one way it can be done. We remember what Master Algo told us to remember! We have a Plus person take her place!”

“You mean…”

“Yes. If she chooses Aoe, then we can go all out against him in a way we could not against her! We test the person she chooses to see if he has surpassed us and thank her through him!”

Myst wasn’t sure if she should say the rest, but Excel spoke before she could decide.

“Myst.”

She looked up with a gasp and saw him pulling a trigon from his pocket.

“This is my handmade Questron control program.”

“Y-yes. The one to start the second phase. But why give it to me now?”

She took the program trigon and he nodded with a smile.

“Because I felt you needed to find the answer to your question. I will head upstairs for defense as planned, but if Aoe Shouzou defeats me…it will mean you were correct.”

“Excel!?”

Her shout only deepened his smile.

“Do not look so worried. A butler is meant to greet the guests and let them through if they are worthy.”

“So what if Aoe arrives here and attempts to stop Master Yuo’s resignation?”

“Then you should fight to the best of your ability. Our administrator is Master Suedomsa, not Master Yuo, so Aoe remains our enemy even if Master Yuo chooses him. We must protect her resignation for Master Suedomsa’s sake. Do not forget to fight as one of the ultimate NPC Bodies he created.

“But,” he sighed, raising his right hand in its white glove. “If you care for Master Yuo and she does abandon her resignation and turn against us, that is when you must tell her to fight against us as our enemy.”
