Honestly.
Although Lan Qingyou was the one involved, even she thought the feeling was a little absurd.
After all, while the Emerald Tablet had been a reward from the World Will, she hadn't spent nearly as long with this World Item as Alisa had.
It was a feeling she had completely ignored before.
Or perhaps it had been there from the moment she first got it.
But she hadn't paid attention to it, hadn't taken it seriously, and had even ignored it outright.
Could it be because of the so-called "divine artifact recognizing its master"?
After all, the World Will had given her this thing.
If that was the explanation, it did make sense.
Then why hadn't she discovered any coordinates when she studied it before?
"What were you thinking when you studied it before? Tell me."
Since Lan Qingyou had no idea where to start, she decided to get a little help from the white-haired woman across from her.
And as if she'd known Lan Qingyou would ask, Alisa tossed a notebook over the moment she spoke.
It was a palm-sized notebook with a cover made of black Monster Skin.
Lan Qingyou opened it and immediately drew in a sharp breath.
The notebook was packed with lines upon lines of numbers.
She could understand each number on its own.
But put together, they were incomprehensible.
"These are...?"
Lan Qingyou looked up at Alisa, who was drinking coffee.
"One form of numerical cryptanalysis. You could also call it analysis—or cracking the code."
"..."
If I understood this stuff, would I have asked you?
Lan Qingyou was speechless.
But judging by what Alisa had just said, even if she asked for an explanation, she probably wouldn't understand it.
Lan Qingyou was certainly talented when it came to studying Magic and alchemy.
