- 'Debrian study of medicine does not differ too much from an alchemist's potion in that they improve quality of life and lessen pain.'
- 'Yet, most perceive them negatively, due to the consequences brought by the soldiers who used the drugs during the Nasod War.'
- 'This, however, fails to address the true cause and effect of the problem. Many ignore how they've arbitrarily increased the dosage for the war, and the Nasod transplant targeting the soldiers were done without proper...'
- 'The fundamental cause lies in the reckless implementation. Therefore, in order to combat the negative stereotype, education on the proper dosage and usage is necessa...'
 Add: .......- Add closed the report with a bitter expression. If Mother had completed this research, it would have helped many.
- But what use is it now.
- Add gathered the reports in a pile and left.
- Add: ... ... ... ...
- It seems what had happened at Feita was finally being resolved. Add, who was following the El Search Party in secret, decided to head to their next destination, Velder, first.
- There should be more information on Debrians or the Nasods at the capital. Based on what Wally has done, he was certain that there wasn't anyone left who would recognize that he's a Debrian.
- Add: (But I should still be careful.)
- The only thing he needed was information and a clue to go back to the past. Nothing else mattered.
- But when Add got out of Feita, he noticed something serious was happening.
- Add: What... Why are there demons here. Did they escape from Feita? No, there's too many of them for that to be the case.
- Add obliterated the attacking demon and grabbed a soldier coming from the capital to interrogate.
- Add: Hey, you! What's going on here?
- The soldier, who looked exhausted seemingly from his non-stop rush from the capital, responded with difficulty.
 Soldier: T, there were monsters... in the capital! I don't know the details, but...- Add: ... Monsters from the capital?
- Add narrowed his eyes. Come to think of it, he remembered someone mentioning that the reinforcements from the capital were being delayed. And this soldier came running all by himself, barely armed.
- Add: Perhaps they were not late, rather unable to come.
- Soldier: I, I was to inform Feita and ask for reinforcements, but the monster...!
- Add: You, follow the path I came from. There are no enemies that way, so you should arrive in Feita safely.
- Add: Go inform what happened in Velder.
- Soldier: Yes! I, thank you... For saving my life, and for helping me like this...
- Add: I don't need your gratitude, so go! There's no telling when demons will come back.
- Soldier: De... mons? Ah, yes. Then...!
- The novice soldier gave a blank look as if he doesn't know what a demon is, but soon hopped off after a clumsy salute.
- Finally, he arrived close to Velder. It was un utter chaos with people rolling out of the capital creaming, and Add could see how dire the situation is immediately.
- In the direction of the palace, dark, depression smoke was covering the blue sky. It was still a small dot, but if the center of the capital is like that, then...
- Add: Ha!
- How ironic. The burning streets, collapsing walls, the dark sky and the screams that echo through your ears... It was all very familiar to him.
- Add: I guess I'm destined to choose doomsdays.
- But Add still decided to enter Velder. He only needed information, and things like libraries might still be intact.
