"Good evening, Miss Viri." Sifa casually asked, "Who sent it?"
Miss Viri looked up at the ceiling of the captain's cabin, pressing a slender finger lightly against her pale blue lips as though pondering.
Two seconds later, she seemed to remember. "That captain who is neither male nor quite female."
She means Tracy, right?
The corner of Sifa's mouth twitched slightly, and he saw Miss Messenger off.
Slitting open the envelope, Sifa took out a folded letter and unfolded it. Sure enough, it bore Tracy's handwriting.
"There are signs that the 'Black Saint' is preparing to leave for Backlund. She is an Angel."
Sifa read aloud the brief sentence in the letter.
"Katarina said that the 'Conqueror' characteristic was in the 'Black Saint's' safekeeping. Now the 'Black Saint' is coming to Backlund because Katarina reported the incident involving Dean Wengris."
"It looks like the Demoness Sect took the bait. And just as I suspected, Trissy is more than a mere vessel."
"Katarina didn't explicitly say so, but my intuition wouldn't be wrong."
"Besides, Katarina repeatedly insisted that Trissy's value wasn't equivalent to a Sequence 1 characteristic. That alone says a great deal."
"Of course, it could also be a case of 'I anticipated your anticipation.' Demonesses aren't 'Conspirers,' but they're certainly masters of lies, and 'Instigator' is one of their preceding Sequences."
"Whatever the case, however cunning Katarina is, however many layers of disguise she's wrapped around the truth..."
"One thing is certain."
"No matter how sophisticated a conspiracy or trap is, it needs someone to put it into action. If the Demoness Sect intends to do anything about this, Katarina will undoubtedly be the one carrying it out."
"As long as I keep a close eye on her and watch her, every conspiracy will be exposed."
