A wild Aldebaran appeared!
Finally couldn't hold back anymore?
The mastermind, the "Great Brain," had stepped onto the stage herself to announce the apocalyptic drama she had so painstakingly crafted...
Although I had never trusted her, I had at least been forced to know her for quite some time. I understood her love of showing off. Even if nobody agreed with her ideas, she would never let an opportunity like this pass her by.

"Huh? Aldebaran is the same as Mono and the others?"
Ceruno looked very surprised, and I explained:
"Yes.
