===Aoe’s Board Mode: In DT Castle===

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Excel stands before you.

Aoe: “You seem somewhat surprised. I should switch back to Sight.”

Excel: “No need.”

Aoe: “Why not?”

Excel: “Because I too have switched to Board Mode. Because Master Yuo once taught me to never take cheap shots in combat.”

Aoe: “Trying to sound cool, huh? And it all goes back to ‘Master Yuo’, does it?”

Aoe: “If she is that important to you, why would you want to turn her into some great god’s vessel?”

Excel: “Because that is what Master Yuo is meant to be. She gave up on everything 2000 years ago. She gave up on people – on Master Suedomsa – being able to heal Words Warn.”

Excel: “In other words, she dropped out of this Minus World. And she did so by choosing to sacrifice herself.”

Aoe: “How am I supposed to believe that!? I can’t speak to your experiences, but the Yuo I know is-”

Excel: “The one we know is the real one. The one who gave up, dropped out, and chose to heal Words Warn through the summoning of the great god is the original Master Yuo. We only need to reclaim that one once we find her.”

Aoe: <Ha. Once you find her, huh? Thanks for letting me know you haven’t captured her yet.>

Aoe: “And what is this about reclaiming her?”

Excel nods and gives a shallow bow.

Excel: “I will omit the details, but we will remove the seal that the queen’s group placed on her memories after the 2nd Godtact Experiment. However, this will erase all of the memories she has made since the seal was applied.”

Aoe: “You mean…?”

Excel: “Yes, she will lose her memories of you and everything else that has happened since then.”

Aoe: “What!?”

Excel: “Once that Master Yuo returns, she will likely want to become the vessel again. And the time of the godtact experiment will be very close to when the countdown to the Day of the Oracle reaches zero. So in about 3 more hours.”

Aoe: “Mh.”

Excel has lifted his head.

The corners of his mouth are raised. This is a smile.

Excel: “How does it feel to learn we know a Master Yuo who is beyond your reach?”

Aoe: “Oh, shut up.”

Aoe: “Even she’s forgotten about that part of her past, so what does it matter anymore?”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Excel is frowning.

Excel: “Oh? Do you have anything capable of resisting our past?”

Aoe: “Well…”

Aoe: <Her panties yesterday and her nudity 6 years ago.>

Excel: “…”

Aoe: “…”

Excel: “What did you just say?”

Aoe: “Mh. I was only thinking to myself. Ignore it. I can’t control it.”

Excel: “…”

Aoe: “Personally, I want to know why it matters that you know Yuo from the past.”

Aoe: “If you’re going to drag out her Minus past and act like that’s all that matters, then I will present the Yuo I know and…”

Aoe: “And the Minus Yuo I have started to get to know as of yesterday.”

Excel: “Oh, really? How long-winded of you.”

Aoe: “Mh. But…”

Aoe: “Your past Yuo doesn’t stand a chance if I also present her underwear and nudity.”
