Klein Cat still remembered that time...
"But helping Silver City connect with the outside world was one thing. Was it really okay to obtain Silver City's faith?"
Looking at Noah, Klein Cat raised his question:
"That was the hometown of a quasi-Sequence Zero, wasn't it? I remember his name seemed to be... Banovil?"
Putting himself in Banovil's shoes, Klein felt that if it were his own hometown, he would have reservations. After all, his Sequence at the meeting had not even been as high as the other man's.

"He knew no more about the world beyond the Land of the Forsaken Gods than any other resident of Silver City. Therefore, he understood that relying on himself alone to integrate Silver City into the normal environment and order of the outside world would be very difficult. Nor would he idealistically fantasize about receiving free help from an outside powerhouse."
Ice cubes clinked in the cola, striking the glass and joining the bubbles constantly rising through the drink in a refreshing symphony.

"That counts as part of the overall consideration."
This included Klein's identity as a transmigrator, his connections to other Sequence Zeros and quasi-Sequence Zeros, and his own place within the Café...
It also included the fact
