The Ark had truly docked in the world of everyday anime.
Some other worlds that needed to be salvaged.
Either they had been personally hauled away.
Or they had been pulled over by means of towing, as though an angler were tugging on a fishing line and drawing them nearby, before finally taking them into the Ark...
If there were no problems, then there was nothing else to do.
They were still willing to appear here through the influence of projections, rather than replacing them with their true bodies.
After all, no matter what.
Projections really were too convenient at times.
They were used to appearing before everyone through projections. Suddenly using their true bodies would actually be more troublesome.
Thinking about it carefully.
Putting everything else aside for now.
If their true bodies descended, then after eleven or twelve years, nothing would have changed, and nothing would change.
Whatever their appearance was, that was what it would remain.
The passage of time could not leave any trace on them.
Even in 2D, there were often all sorts of unscientific situations resembling agelessness.
But those were works of fiction, whereas this was ultimately reality!
In reality, if the girls you had watched grow up had always remained like this—once about as tall as you, now with you taller than them; once younger than you, now with them much older than you...
In the end...
There would still be some rumors and gossip.
That would not do!
Therefore.
To take their work into consideration.
And also to adapt more appropriately to life in an everyday world.
Little Griseo and the others subtly adjusted their projections every year.
It was as though time had been permitted to leave its mark on them.
Over eleven or twelve years, they really had all changed.
