Part 26: According to the professor, these phenomena are just the 'tip of a miracle.'

-Conspiracy-









Ah, my only solace is to wait in the pale moonlight for the cool breeze of the sea to still my heated blood...
Man's Voice: ...Sorry to make you wait.



You really are perfectly punctual, my friend. It would not hurt you to learn to be fashionably late, you know.





Now. What is your report?
Oh, let us not be boorish and hurry so, yes? This has been a grand evening. Allow me to savor it a little longer.
Really...I'll take that as a report of 'I really like them,' then.
Like? Hah! The lovely princess has stolen even more of my heart. It's a miracle I yet live, I tell you! What's more, I met a rival in the arena of beauty and aesthetics. A rival! Me!
Hahaha...I shall be QUITE busy these next few weeks, I think.
You really are hopeless.
You're welcome to pursue your 'hobbies,' but do not let it interfere with the plan.
You need not worry on that score, my friend. On that note...Here, take it.



Very good.
So. How DID your experiments go?
Yes, hm. Call it a ninety-percent success rate or so. The hologram projector can accurately project for many hundreds of selge. The first two or so projections were miserable failures, I'm afraid...After the third, however, the device worked flawlessly.
So some cause for concern, but not much. It does function. I'll report to the professor at once.
That 'Gospel'...Truly, it is far beyond contemporary technology, and I don't simply mean its ability to negate orbments. I know it was made by the Thirteen Factories...but how, exactly, does it work?
I'm not sure...I'm not privy to the details.
According to the professor, these phenomena are just the 'tip of a miracle.'
Ooooh, so it's the stuff of miracles, is it?
Hm. Miracles are the providence of She Who Dwells Above alone. What does he mean, I wonder?
Regardless, a few more experiments should make the potential of the Gospels clear. With that...



Hm?
Oho, we've had a number of unexpected actors coming onto the stage this night. How shall this cameo end, I wonder?
Heh...
That's up to how our hidden mouse responds.
Hah, indeed.







I'm not sure who that little mouse is, but your life is spared, it seems.
Thank Aidios for your life, rodent.









Urp...Can't drink no mo'...
Dammit...I coulda...I coulda...





Heh...Like I need to be told to give praise to the Goddess.





So those are the Enforcers of Ouroboros, huh...?
