Mephlius wanted to stop by Lucille to report on the battlefield, but after hearing angry noises and things shattering on the other side of the shut door to the throne, he quickly reconsidered without hesitation. Looks like someone beat him to the punch, or she simply sensed it on her own and pretty much went berserk in there. Either way, now is certainly not the time to go in there. He simply walks away in a brisk manner, forgetting what was in their entirely.
As he continues walking down a hallway, he encounters Kermette, now back into his original form as Kermit. He asks him if he felt like something is missing. Missing? Mephilius had to think a bit as he looks up at the ceiling and sighing. He shakes his head.
"I don't know to be honest," he replies with his hands out, "Maybe there is something we're missing. But you know, I can't put my finger on it."
With that, Mephilius simply continues walking down the hall, leaving the conversation entirely.
Once he entered the main living space, he finds the ice demon Ghelgath sitting on a coach looking all bored as he bounces a ball to and from a wall. As soon as the Hell Knight entered, Ghelgath simply turned around to him and raises his eyebrows.
"Ah, you guys are finally back." he says boringly as he continues throwing the ball again at the wall, "How was the battle?"
Mephilius simply rolls his eyes as he places his shield and lance on a table.
"What do you think?" he asks as he crosses his arms.
Ghelgath simply tsked at that notion.
"You lost didn't you?"
The Hell Knight simply nods.
"Yeah we did." he blurts out without a single thought.
He then decides to take a seat in another chair as he crosses his hands together and slumps.
"Say... I thought you were 'going to do work' during that battle." he then says to the ice lich curiously, "Why didn't you come?"
Ghelgath stopped to look at the Knight.
"It was tempting... but I figured I should take one battle day off. I'll participate in the next one."
Mephilius simply nods as he looks down at the floor for a few seconds. He then looks back at the lich.
"Say... do you feel like something's missing?" he simply asks, much like how Kermit previously asked him.
Ghelgath turns his head back slightly.
"Waddya mean?"
"Uhhhh, I don't know. Like, I think there was supposably one character missing here? Who was it again?"
Ghelgath simply shrugs.
"Who knows? I don't remember anything."
The Knight nods silently, as an awkward silence fills the room before Mephilius says his "laters", and heads back to his castle.
Karizawa
Karizawa and the rest of the scientists leave the meeting room as they take the elevator down to the first floor. As they decended, Tobayashi was the first to break the silence.
"You should thank me for saving your butt this time." she barks out at him.
"Yes, I do thank you full heartedly." Karizawa replies as he waves his hand, "Thanks to you, we're able to still keep the secrecy of our project in tact."
There was a slight pause in between it as the Director takes a breather.
"Still, you and the other scientists were right about one thing."
Tobayashi looks at her superior curiously.
"What might that be?"
"You know what it is."
It took the female scientist a moment to realize what it was.
"Ah, right." she replies while nodding, "But it was simply a theory really. We really didn't know if it was possible I-I mean, we didn't test it out prior."
"Regardless, it was a risk we took and the theory was correct. It's time that we bring an upgrade to Unit-T's arsenal and armor. If Titanica was to encounter it, there is no doubt that she'll go berserk on it."
Tina simply holds Tobayashi's hand as she simply listens to their conversation.
"Agreed. She's already on her feet, several months yearly as a matter of fact. We need to stop her before it happens again."
Karizawa simply nods as they make it to the ground floor. As they approach their shuttle, Tina spots a cart selling ice cream by a corner. The pilot recalls the Director's promise and begins tugging at his sleeve.
"Karizawa-sama?" she asks innocently as she points to the car, "Can I get some ice cream?"
Karizawa looks to see the ice cream stand and pauses. He remembers his promise and nods.
"Yes you can, Tina."
Tina's face lights up with a smile as she drags the Director to get a nice scoop of strawberry-rosewater ice cream on a cone before finally departing to the shuttle.
