 Lu: ... So Scar tried to summon the Demon God in Lanox and partially succeeded. Aegirp: To think he would do something like that... Though I highly doubt that, even if you failed, the real Demon God would have been summoned.- Lu: I agree. Even if he managed to succeed, the best possible outcome for him would have been summoning something like that Plegas being we fought at the ruins.
- Lu: Though comparable to the Demon God, it's not anything like the Demon God... Huhu, though it's nothing to sneeze at.
- Aegirp: Yes. They are indeed, quite different. In any case, was this all led by Berngart? I cannot even imagine what he's up to.
- Lu: He was definitely the most loyal. I didn't hear anything since the Demon King disappeared.
- Aegirp: I don't truly understand what he's thinking... But I imagine he's grieving.
- Lu: Do you pity him?
- Aegirp: Rather... I can sympathize. I believed a new path would open if I followed the Demon King.
- Aegirp: And I know you weren't so different.
- Lu: ... I'd rather not talk about it.
- Aegirp: You decided to lay down your trust and follow the Demon King. You abandoned any lingering doubts and left out of your own volition.
- Lu: Stop.
- Aegirp: You made a choice, to find what you wanted.
- Lu: I told you to stop!
- Aegirp: Sigh... Even so, I'm glad you seem to have good people by your side.
- Aegirp: At the very least... You look happier now than back then, Luciela.
- Lu: .......
- Aegirp: Haha, I bring up one thing you don't like, and you go straight to sulking. So, enough small talk, let us finish this.
- Aegirp: First, as we discussed earlier, I give you the permission to use the portals. You can it any time you need to.
- Aegirp: But, you can't use it now.
- Lu: It's fine since we don't have to go back right this moment... but is something wrong? You managed to send a message last time, and I believe there was also someone who came through the portal?
- Aegirp: Though we did confirm the safety of the portal, there were somethings we wished to test. It might take a bit to fully test them out.
- Aegirp: Everything was pushed back when Winster announced his retirement.
- Lu: Retirement...? Is everything fine?
- Aegirp: Yes. We finished relocating Rigomor, and Asella is taking care of the operations at Aurora, so everything is fine.
- Lu: That's a relief at least... but then why did he decide to retire? Did he get injured from the last battle?
- Aegirp: He said he was well due for a rest, and... something about finally teaching his pup a lesson or two.
- Aegirp: Of course, I would miss him, so I tried to persuade him otherwise, but he looked so determined that I had to let him go.
- Lu: ... It seems it won't be a true retirement in a sense that he'd be resting. I can see the difficulties laid ahead of him.
- Aegirp: Huhu, I will also make sure you will receive reinforcements. I believe Asella has already spoken to you about it?
- Lu: Yes. We got the supplies already. We're in your debt.
- Aegirp: I'm just trying to pay back what you have done for us.
- Aegirp: Oh, one last thing, there's someone who's been to the Red Demon territory recently. He should be arriving soon, so you can get the details from him.
- Lu: Alright.
- Aegirp: I wish you luck... Luciela.
- Lu: ...... ...Hm? What do you mean by that?
- Aegirp: Exactly as I said.
- Lu: No, that sounded like your plotting voice. What are you thinking?
- Aegirp: Huhu, nothing so fancy as a plot... Just saying you would need a lot of luck heading to the Red Demon King's territory, since wagers and gambles have never been your strong point.
- Lu: What? I didn't always lose to that bastard, Tir.
- Aegirp: Ah, but that's your problem right there, Luciela. Do you still not understand his schemes?
- Aegirp: He let's you win small victories, luring them to a bigger wager, until he takes everything at the end.
- Aegirp: Even when you win, you are only winning small battles until you lose the war.
- Lu: Mrr...
- Aegirp: How innocent, that you considered those victories, hahaha...
- Lu: ... You must be doing well, joking around like that. If you're done, why don't we just end this meeting?
- Aegirp: Haha, sure. After all, I have no intention of winning against you.
- Aegirp: I'll see you next time.
- Lu: Sigh... I suppose it's time to get going again.
