===Aoe’s Board Mode: In DT Castle===

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Akalabeth is talking. She looks to you and nods.

Akalabeth: <And when Yuo arrived, she quoted the bible and told us to use her as the vessel because she was no more use to anyone in any other way. At the time, her Load Emblem was Mule, which used the Virgin Mary as its symbol. She even said that was the perfect symbolism for the one who would help give birth to a god.>

Aoe: “So that idiot…had given up?”

Akalabeth: “It is hard to say. We all tried to stop her, but she refused to listen. She said her father only ever paid any attention to her sister who had Words Warn and that her father had come down with the disease as well, so she said she would do more good saving those two than staying with us.”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Akalabeth’s eyebrows are drooping and she is smiling. It is a bitter smile.

Akalabeth: “After that, she said she wanted us to erase her memories if the experiment were to fail. And that she wanted us to erase her father’s memories too. She said everything would get better if we did that.”

Akalabeth: <Perhaps our first mistake there was accepting the offer she gave us. We quickly modified the Questron below the castle for use with her. It has a defense shield meant to enclose the vessel, but we created a seam for the vessel to leave if she wanted.>

Akalabeth: <And when the Great God Lives extracted from the ley lines exploded along with her, she partially got her wish. Everyone in DT had their memories wiped, but the Demigods and NPC Bodies all retained their memories.>

Akalabeth has lowered her head.

Akalabeth: “You heard about the prophecy regarding the Day of the Oracle, didn’t you?”

Aoe: “That everything would get better in 2000 years, right?”

Akalabeth: “What do you think that meant, Aoe Shouzou? We only know that the great god responded to her will and gave a prophecy of the future based on that.”

Akalabeth: “So do you think that prophecy was meant for all of us because she had already given up on everything? Or do you think it was meant for her because she had not truly given up yet?”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Akalabeth sighs.

Akalabeth: “I do not know the answer. And I do not know what is going to happen.”

Akalabeth: “I wanted to know the answer, so after sealing away Yuo and Suedomsa’s memories as promised, I adopted Yuo as my daughter. But it was after she visited Japan that she started saying she would not give up. It was after she encountered the Plus in you, Aoe Shouzou.”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Her eyebrows are somewhat lowered. It is a small smile.

Akalabeth: “Don’t you find it odd that a Minus person like her could overcome her anxieties and grow stronger through the Plus? And what happened to you then? Did your power turn toward killing when she was with you?”

Aoe: “Of course not. She never stopped lecturing me.”

Akalabeth: “Heh heh. That does not surprise me, Aoe Shouzou.”

Akalabeth: “The two of you were together as the Plus and the Minus, weren’t you?”

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

She corrects her eyebrows and looks to you. It is a serious expression.

Akalabeth: “Now, I think it is time for a change of subject. We need to discuss you.”

Akalabeth: <From what Yuo told me and the report Telyb sent me, I gather you are searching for a certain power. You want the strongest power for a Plus attacker like you.>

Akalabeth: <nowiki><I</nowiki> more or less know what that is.>

Aoe: “What is it?”
