*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''....... Why aren't you asking anything?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''What.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''The reason why you followed me... it's because the experiment isn't it? You wanted to ask me something.''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''... What did you see?''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Experiments. The spy from the Order was planning on spreading something that mutates living things using the facilities there.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''... The Seed of Life. I heard the ones who attacked El Tower also used something similar.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Why did the Order attack El Tower?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''I don't know how he knew, but he stole the Primal El from the sanctum. He tried to fuse it with the Dark El to attack El Tower, but the El Search Party sent him flying.''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''(The El Search Party again...)''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''... Enough about that, you better not say anything to others. About the experiment, or the manor.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''I wasn't planning to. If I were, I would have revealed everything earlier. Did you answer my question because you were afraid I would reveal everything?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''Shut up. I said I was keeping watch.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''(... He's not very truthful.)''

*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''I didn't expect a place like this could exist underneath the castle...''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''The research done here looks very advanced. Debrians weren't this impressive back in my day. I wonder how the machines lying over there functioned? Debrians tried to build humanoid machines before, but all they managed to do was stumble a couple of steps before falling.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''But why would they create a lab underneath the castle?''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''I told you before, right? Elrian royal family used to subtly support Debrians, and would look after them. Back then, I just thought they were using Debirans as a chess piece to keep the monarchy strong... But looking at this... It makes me suspect they might have had something specific in mind.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''... What are you looking at.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Do you know anything?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''What makes you think I'd tell you if I do.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''So you don't. Why are you walking so far away anyway?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''It's because I find it annoying that you're mumbling to yourself when there's no one responding back. Got a problem?''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''(I swear I told him about Clamor already...)''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''You're walking too slow. I'm going ahead if you're going to take your time by talking to yourself. I don't care if you are left behind.''

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' ''-''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Pant... pant, ah...''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''Weakling... Here. This is the portal they used. The demon was working on it, so don't touch anything. You might mess it up.''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''So something like this is possible... I can understand why Titania said we won't be able to find the Order's headquarters anywhere in Elrios. I think the Order's headquarters might be in the Demon Realm.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''The Order's... headquarters? Why do you think it's in the Demon Realm?''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''What are you talking about? How do you know where the Order'd headquarters is located?''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''... I just heard about it. Here. Clamor, can you explain in detail? Why do you think it's in the Demon Realm?''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Well... Don't get me wrong, but... I got an offer to join the Order once. Though I refused right away.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''What? Why would the Order recruit you?''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''I don't know... Perhaps it's because I was a scholar of Seven Tower and they thought I'd be an easy target. Back then, the Order of Henir was a new religious organization. They were actively recruiting at the time. As I mentioned earlier... The gap between Elrians and those were not, were quite... significant. The Henir's Order used that sense of bereavement to their advantage. For me... they told me I was undervalued.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''When they were recruiting you? Why would they say that?''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' '' 'We are looking for remarkable individuals. We alone can recognize your true value... The reason why Debrians were able to enter Seven Tower is also because of our influence... Your admittance as well. You should know better than anyone...' Something like that. They said they wanted to recruit me and have me join in their research, promising a great offer that I probably wouldn't receive even after I get a degree from Seven Tower. Honestly, it was tempting. If I didn't refuse right away, I would have seriously considered it.''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''... Why did you refuse?''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''It's embarrassing... But the biggest reason was my pride. Think about it. One day, someone pops out of nowhere, saying all that you've accomplished is not because of your own merit, but because you were lucky. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to advance any further, and your current place is the best you can ever hope for. The only thing left it to go down. That' basically saying 'slap me, and I'll turn the other cheek for you' isn't it? What did they expect? That I'd grovel any say 'Thank you for recognizing I'm not a complete piece of trash! Where do you I sign up?' ''
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Titania said she found somewhere that recognized her worth. Are you saying that's how the Order recruits people?''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''I didn't like it. What am I, used goods? 'There's a scratch. The quality isn't that great.' Treating me like my value would go down the more they pick at my weaknesses. Andway, I got a bad feeling when I kicked them out, so I asked around. Turns out, I wasn't the only one to receive such an offer.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''What was the research that the Order was conducting?''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''From what I heard... THey were looking for a land where the power of the Goddess annot reach, using Henir.''
*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''Lunatics...''
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''I thought it wasn't feasible, but when I heard about the Demon Realm, it reminded me of that. That's why I wanted to come here.''
