Upon hearing this, Fors the Magician had no choice but to abandon her previous idea. The Tarot Club members then confirmed a few matters with one another before the World made another request:

"I'm looking for someone."

After drawing everyone's attention, the World made a show of asking the Fool for help and manifested Ince Zangwill's appearance before saying:

"His name is Ince Zangwill. He was once an Archbishop of the Church of Evernight, originally a Sequence 5 Gatekeeper of the God of Death pathway. After failing his advancement, he defected, stole the legacy item of a Saint from the Church of Evernight, and attempted to advance.

"He should currently be a Demigod of the Evernight pathway and possesses a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact.

"For his specific location, 1,000 pounds. For clues, payment will depend on their usefulness."

There had been precedents for missing person commissions in the Tarot Club. Alice had issued similar commissions more than once, and the Hanged Man, Alger, had also left one behind. However, there had been no response to the Hanged Man's commission so far, while Alice had run into every one of her targets herself.

Yet the World's commission still drew the Tarot Club members' attention. Fors the Magician even blurted out:

"Mr. World, is he your next hunting target?"

The Hermit, Cattleya, and the Hanged Man, Alger, who better understood the gap between Sequence 5 and a Demigod, opposed this guess. But honestly, it had indeed been their first reaction.

Is the World finally going after a Demigod?

"Yes," Alice answered for the World. "This is someone he carefully selected."

Fors the Magician gasped. Meanwhile, Cattleya the Hermit and Alger the Hanged Man began staring at the World with horrified gazes, trying to stare something out of him.
