"Hm, I see."
Everyone had different attitudes and reactions when speaking with him. It was certainly thought-provoking.
Most important of all was the reason he had not attacked Chaldea.
Without a doubt, Chaldea's existence should have been the sole loophole in "King Solomon's" plan. Why had he not attacked Chaldea and completely eliminate that possibility?

Bzzzt—
