Abner thought it over for quite a while, but there were too few clues for him to piece together the full story behind the God's Casket. If the matter had been more urgent, he might have waited for the cooldown to end and used Active Prophecy again.
I still can't control how prophecy changes fate, so I should use it as little as possible... Hmm, after Dunn and Daly's wedding this weekend, I can ask Xio or Hazel to summon Arrodes and question it while I'm nearby... Abner thought as he set the paper in his hand alight.
Without a medium, the Secret Art for summoning Arrodes could not be used too far from its true body. Backlund was the best place to do it.
I also need to decide how much of this to tell Klein... Fortunately, the Purification I placed on Fors wore off before she entered the Quiz Maze, so Mr. Fool didn't see what happened afterward... Otherwise, I'd have to go above the Gray Fog and help Klein "forget" some of it...
Hmm, Klein is still playing the part of the Fool. He can't ask me about it now. After all, I prayed to Mr. Fool to protect Fors, not to the World.
He'll probably ask at the small gathering after next Monday's Tarot Club meeting...
While Abner was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Fors call out. Worried that something had gone wrong with the Suggestion he had given her, he teleported straight to the underground hot spring.
It turned out she had only forgotten her change of clothes and wanted him to fetch them...
Abner glanced at Fors in her bathrobe and gladly obliged.
