You're going to expose the demons?<br>**[15:45] Shiki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No, the academy will discover the truth.<br>**[15:47] Shiki**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I did a little something to the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;accessories we collected.<br>**[15:51] Mio**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They should notice within a couple of days,<br>**[15:54] Mio**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;even if the people examining them are idiots.<br>**[15:56] Makoto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But isn't it bad for us if they<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;find out demons are behind this?<br>**[16:00] Makoto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Kuzunoha Trading Company is<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;suspected of associating with demons.<br>**[16:04] Tomoe**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nobody would believe that anymore.<br>**[16:08] Tomoe**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After all, we're heroes who<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;did everything in our power<br>**[16:11] Tomoe**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to evacuate citizens and<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exterminate many mutants.<br>**[16:14] Makoto/Id**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I see.*<br>**[16:16] Makoto/Id**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*These three truly are dependable.*<br>**[16:21] Makoto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, why did you two cast this spell?<br>**[16:24] Aqua**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;W-Well, because...<br>**[16:26] Makoto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You went along with Eris's crazy plan?<br>**[16:28] Aqua**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Something like that.<br>**[16:29] Eris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yup.<br>**[16:30] Aqua**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But Young Master, I've been wondering,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;how did you get inside the barrier?<br>**[16:35] Makoto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Eris knows.<br>**[16:38] Eris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Like a mole.<br>**[16:40] Makoto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, anything else to report?<br>**[16:43] Aqua**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing in particular.<br>**[16:44] Eris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No, there is something.<br>**[16:46] Aqua**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What?<br>**[16:47] Eris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's probably some kind of mastermind<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;where all the luxurious houses are.<br>**[16:51] Makoto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A mastermind?<br>**[16:54] Eris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They're using some kind of special<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;equipment to attract mutants there.<br>**[16:58] Eris**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Must be tough being rich.<br>**[17:00] Makoto/Id**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's an affluent area.*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The academy is focusing its efforts there.*<br>**[17:06] Makoto**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks, Eris.

One moment.<br>**[19:05] Tomoe**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, that's fine.
