Reunion

"So this world still has a Mind World, and that's the Warp Space you Inquisitor Lords were talking about?"

Back at the office, Duanmu Ai explained what she had seen to Rumiere, who was quite surprised as well. She had been part of the Inquisition for some time, after all, and was very familiar with the Inquisition's general knowledge in this area.

"That's my guess. As for whether it's right... I don't know."

"...You don't know?"

Duanmu Ai genuinely did not want to use her brain,
