"...All I can say is, I was truly very lucky."
Above the Gray Fog, Justice Audrey finished her account and bowed her head toward the tall figure at the head of the long table. "If I hadn't received Mr. Fool's protection beforehand, I'm afraid that lady, Greed, would have completely brainwashed me, leaving me unable to resist."
Even as she spoke, she still felt a lingering fear.
"My help was part of it, but you also responded appropriately."
Klein spoke calmly.
If Justice really had been completely controlled, he would have been able to detect something wrong above the gray fog, but breaking her hypnosis would probably have been quite troublesome.
"But... this isn't over yet, is it?"
Hermit Cattleya adjusted her glasses and spoke after a moment's thought. "What Temperance captured was only Greed's avatar. Her main body wasn't affected, and by now, she should have realized that something went wrong on your end."
In other words, the woman could come looking for her again at any time and bring her back under control!
"You're right..."
Audrey paused, then understood what Hermit meant. "And if we consider an even worse possibility, she might have discovered my connection to the Blood Bishop and reported it to the Psychology Alchemists..."
In that case, she might no longer be able to serve as the Tarot Club's informant within the Psychology Alchemists... "It won't come to that."
Temperance Luther shook his head. "I stopped that avatar from transmitting any information the moment I caught her. All Greed can know is that her avatar suddenly vanished."
At this point, he smiled coldly. "Besides, I happen to have some business with her myself. If she dares come back to control Justice, she'll be doing me a huge favor."
Above the Gray Fog, everyone fell silent
