“…The Seeker?”
Lea’s face tightened in confusion. She had prepared for countless variables that could arise during Project Almagest… but the Seeker? The appearance of the shadowy Perfect One, who had supposedly died long ago, was completely outside her expectations.
How—no… more importantly, is that really the Seeker?
What if Tuner had used some nasty trick to meddle with the regression and was trying to deceive her by pretending to be the Seeker? Facing a situation she couldn’t make sense of, Lea’s thoughts churned—before quickly calming as she decided on a plan of action.
Either way, I have to get rid of it.
The entity had not only barged into the regression but was even freely moving within stopped time. With that level of ability, Lea could practically guarantee it could interfere with the regression itself.
She moved—
“Whoa there. Relax, relax.”
The headless shadow’s oddly unhurried voice rang out before Lea could begin manipulating the Sphere. It had raised both hands, as if in surrender.
“I understand that you’re all wary, but trying to erase something the moment it looks like a hassle? That’s a bad habit, you know?”
“…”
“Sure, on a battlefield where friend and foe are clear, maybe. But in a situation like this—where the causality isn’t obvious—you should analyze carefully. An enchanter is basically a scholar, too. Times like these are when you shouldn’t stop investigating causality and instead yearn to seek even more knowled—”
“Okay then.”
Lea cut it off, glaring sharply.
“Which side are you on, then? I don’t have much time, so do give me the simple answer.”
“…I was going to give you more advice, but kids these days really don’t know how to listen.” Sighing at Lea’s razor-edged attitude, the Seeker shrugged. “Well, if I had to say, I’m closer to being on your side. I was actually dispatched here to fix the mistake you lot have made.”
“Dispatched?”
“Yeah. You can probably guess who sent me, right?”
The Seeker jabbed upward with her index finger, pointing at the sky.
“…”
Lea glanced up, thinking of the singular being capable of resurrecting a Perfect One and inserting them into their current mess: the Golden Ring.
“Okay. I think I get where you might have come from now… but why did it revive you, of all people?”
“Because among the ones recorded in the Golden Ring, I’m the smartest and most outstanding—obviously.”
“…”
“What? Why make that face? You’ve read The Mana System and Proof of the Synesthetic Mindscape, haven’t you?”
The Mana System was the first book that established the theory of mana; after that, Proof of the Synesthetic Mindscape became the first work to prove the correlation between mana and the synesthetic mindscape.
