"Investigate?"
"Yes. Miss Eloi found a very important clue in another tribe before..."
According to Ikaruga Sayu, Eloi had once traveled to the far north, where she encountered an isolated tribe. She had met with their priestess, who claimed to have spoken with a god. At the time, that god had asked her to help it regain its freedom...
"A god?"
"Uh... it was actually an AI. Apparently, some other thing had taken control away from that AI, so it wanted someone to help take it back."
"So?"
"Because none of us understand this stuff, but President, aren't you very knowledgeable about it? I remember when you hacked Mother's Embrace before."
As Imari said this, Katou Kirin and Julie nodded as well. They all remembered Fang Zheng hacking into Mother's Embrace's main database right in front of them. They had not understood what exactly Fang Zheng was doing, but the girls had unanimously concluded that he was far better at this than they were... which was only obvious.
Originally, they had lacked confidence, so they had planned to investigate elsewhere first and see if they could find more clues. But now that Fang Zheng was here... they could leave it all to him.
The girls could go back to doing things without having to use their brains, just like before.

If there really was an AI stationed there, the information it provided should be more reliable. So Fang Zheng piloted the airship in a new direction and headed for the tribe the girls
