Xaizor: Hmm... all we got are shots with misses, huh?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/ATGUitS.png[/img]
Auror: For now at least. We can't be certain of everything, even this whole deal with Masaru.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4CNGJSh.png[/img]
Marina: What we can do now is discover what exactly is the Dream Realm and why those monsters are invading us. Hypotetical situations might be cleared soon enough.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/otQYiPp.png[/img]
Auror: I agree with Marina. Plus, I bet we can leave this part of discovering who it's after Lucent to the target himself.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/GMj6WOT.png[/img]
Xaizor: Sure, I guess. I'm still bothered with one thing, though.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/MZy8PIf.png[/img]
Marina: And what that would be, Xaizor?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/cZHCl2X.png[/img]
Xaizor: If we get what everyone said thus far, then Masaru met Lucent too recently. Why would he become so overprotective of someone he just met? It doesn't make sense to me and Kaito also agreed with this.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/k6jSyUu.png[/img]
Auror: It's no use thinking about it... even if I find it weird as well. We have two incidents on our hands, happening at the same time.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/6w6BHBb.png[/img]
Marina: Then please leave this incident of the Dream World with me and Xaizor. We will keep our eyes and report anything weird we find. Right, Xaizor?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Jv6RDoR.png[/img]
Xaizor: Righto ditto. No stone is unturned when the Arcadia brothers are in the case!

[i]Meanwhile, Lucent was at the living room with Kaito, Kiragi and the twin Sprites. He was indeed thinking about what Azrel told him.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img]
Lucent: People who would be after me... nothing comes to my mind.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/4KLRCXU.png[/img]
Kiragi: But why would someone would be after you, Big Bro Lucent?
Lucent: I don't know that either. I don't have a clue of something I could have done and of someone who could be offended by any action I took.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/8ohyuBZ.png[/img]
Ictio: We're not the ones after you for this! We swear!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Bml5VJQ.png[/img]
Kaito: Calm down. Lucent believes in you two, so I'm sure it's OK.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/y8AMJjI.png[/img]
Lucent: Yes, he's right. We just met, but... I feel like trusting you two.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/7AmSr90.png[/img]
Umbra: That's good for us to hear. We still need your help, after all.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/sElnvwR.png[/img]
Ictio: We'll protect you too, yes we will!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/6WDzsG5.png[/img]
Lucent: Thanks, everyone. I'm glad you all are here with me now.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/a532uBK.png[/img]
Kaito: Don't sweat it. Still, we need to know about this whole thing. I have some thoughts about it, but I have to sort them out.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/hm1aRZU.png[/img]
Kiragi: I'm gonna help too! I'm going to do my best!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img]
Lucent: And to think I didn't want you two getting in danger like this...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/nHoaF56.png[/img]
Kaito: You know me. I can't let you get harmed, I care for you. Even if I didn't get any power, I would've definitely done something.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/TFVnZeH.png[/img]
Kiragi: Yeah! Because we care for Big Bro Lucent!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/y3Ms0By.png[/img]
Lucent: Kaito... Kiragi...
[img]https://i.imgur.com/i5X9Eab.png[/img]
Umbra: Best if we regroup with the others. We should be heading back to your home soon enough.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/3jccryV.png[/img]
Lucent: Yes, you're right. Let's go back to the orphanage and end the day.

[i]The group left the living room and went towards the outside.[/i]

Lilina: O-Oh, I don't mind. You must have been busy too, so it's OK.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/JUZWKZU.png[/img]
5T: In any case, I'll transfer the data I was able to get in the middle of the fight. Pod, connect with the computer and pass the data.
Pod: Affirmative.

[i]The Pod floated over to the computer and connected itself with it, transfering all the data of the fight to the database.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/fZE60Hw.png[/img]
5T: I think I'll start with a simple question. Lilina, when you activated the Glaive, what sort of signal did you feel from it? Did it try to brainwash you?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/38jFnIs.png[/img]
Lilina: Signal? Brainwash? What do you mean?

Orie: ... I see. I shall see if I can visit Jane and Sumireko tomorrow and check their conditions. A visit might lift their spirits as well.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/uzKdiyw.png[/img]
Fuindor: I do hope they're OK. If this is all, I'll be going home too.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/cmafcwG.png[/img]
Orie: Wait a moment, Fuindor. There is something that I'm curious too.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/S0N6a5V.png[/img]
Fuindor: And what would that be?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/6KKBMT3.png[/img]
Orie: Your power and... this aspect of yours. How did you manage to hide it so well? I thought you were a normal student until the fight.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/ViH2xpG.png[/img]
Fuindor: It's a... transformation technique! My power only becomes visible when I'm transformed, you see.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/c9894tt.png[/img]
Orie: Ah, I see. It's interesting how you can keep it concealed.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/R2kFwNz.png[/img]
Fuindor: Uh, thanks, I guess. Well, I'm heading home. See you guys some other time.

[i]Fuindor said his goodbye and left the school vicinity. At the empty streets, he reverted back into a normal human and sighed.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/0ycdzfT.png[/img]
Fuindor: Shit, that was close... it seems it's just like the history books said. They forgot about us for reals.

Fundor: This is for the best. I can't let people know we're still alive and kicking. Not until I fulfill my part of my promise with Gramps...
