"Huh? The Earth Crystal's Simulacrum Personality?"
Inside the Bionic Prosthetic Body, Sirius exclaimed in surprise:
"Why can that girl talk through my body?"
Although I had no definite answer, I offered a guess.
"Your body was originally a base body created by the Life Management System. When you transferred your consciousness out through the Brain-Machine interface, it was only natural that external signals could affect your unconscious body..."
At that, Sirius transferred back into her own base body.
"She used my body to send a distress signal, but her actual body is still somewhere in the Zodiacal, and now we're going to find her... right?"
"Exactly."
"If we're going on a rescue mission, then we'll need my magic!"
Yuehan stood up and thumped her chest, declaring, "Let's sneak into that avatar's hiding place and rescue the child called A-Yao!"
"So, where is that hiding place?" I asked.
"No idea! How would I know something like that?"
Then we had absolutely nothing to go on!
Yuehan really wasn't a very dependable adult...
Betelgeuse rested her chin in her hand and considered it for a moment, then looked up and quietly asked:
"In that case, could we use Sirius's base body as a radar?"
"A radar..."
Earlier, A-Yao's influence on Sirius's base body had been intermittent, and she couldn't even hear our replies. Did that mean the signal was weak here?
We were on Satellite Island One.
In other words, the Avatar of the Great Will was probably hiding on the main island or one of the other satellite islands...
"Do you have any gadgets that could give us a clearer bearing?"
But Betelgeuse shook her head.
"You'll just have to carry that base body around and look."
Sirius narrowed her eyes in displeasure.
"Huh? What do you think my body is?"
