[A strange signal was detected today. In the territory of the Herta on the Blue, an undetectable signal suddenly appeared out of nowhere.]

A sense of curiosity welled up inside me: Could there really be things in this world that I couldn't detect?

When I arrived at the location, I found a humanoid creature, which I then moved to my backyard.

The great Ms. Herta would not take advantage of someone's vulnerability and conduct research on them without their consent.

After a quick assessment, I discovered he was merely unconscious. So I simply placed him on a chair and returned to the lab to get back to work.

Half a system time later, the person woke up.

Surprisingly, the person remained calm and immediately observed their surroundings without shouting. Despite appearing simple-minded, they were unexpectedly intelligent.

I went out to meet him, and he was stunned when he saw me. This is normal, after all, the Nous glanced at me first, otherwise the great Ms. Herta would be the Beauty Emanator by now.

After I spoke up to remind him, he surprised me again. Like those old fogies, he responded politely, which was completely out of character for him.

How many more surprises can this unexpected event bring to the Herta?

I'm very curious.

So I invited him to be my first research subject. After some discussion, he agreed.

Herta opened the notebook and turned to the next page.

What kind of important knowledge must a genius possess to write down in their own notes?

Now, here she is, recording and observing a person's reaction. Ms. Herta smiled and said, "Let it be written. I'll do what I want, of course."

He said his name was Seraphis, which initially sounded familiar.

I didn't investigate it carefully at the time, but I'm only just realizing it now.

It is associated with myths recorded in some civilizations and means a fallen seraphim.

He is Herrscher, and he is also human.

Although he didn't explain to me what Herrscher Herta, when I asked, he said he'd explain it in the future.

He possesses a very interesting power.

That is authority, but not the power of Path; rather, it is the same conceptual authority.

I deliberately said something to see his reaction, but he seemed to know what I was thinking.

He also said he would keep me curious.

He doesn't seem to be exaggerating; he possesses knowledge comparable to mine, and he knows all types of books in his study.

He is undoubtedly a genius just like me.

Based on my observation, his personality is almost entirely composed of kindness. Could this guy be like Yaoshi?

Together with him, we built the prototype of the Herta Puppet. He assigned No. 0 a topic that I was also very curious about—what kind of person would No. 0 want to become?

Having finished writing this, Miss Herta closed the notebook. She sat down in her chair, unconsciously twirling the pen in her hand. Why had she written this at all?

Hmm... It must be recorded in the data in case Sera sees it during the experiment. It wouldn't be good if it were seen by Sera using her powers. In front of a genius like her, Miss Herta still has some dignity.

Now... Miss Herta is scrolling through her phone.

Let's figure out where to take Sera tomorrow. Miss Herta is a woman of her word. Since we agreed to be tour guides, we should make thorough preparations beforehand.

However... Miss Herta hesitated. She had been busy with her research and hadn't really explored the Blue properly! She didn't know where to go either, so she decided to check the information online.

Recommended places to go out with friends of the opposite sex.

Miss Herta hesitated before typing the word "friend," after all, she had never had a friend, possessed extraordinary intelligence from a young age, and people looked at her with only awe.

"Amusement park, aquarium, Meiji Shrine..."

Miss Herta pondered for a moment, then decided that an amusement park would be a good fit, given the high ratings.

The largest amusement park on the Blue...

Herta searched and found it; it was near her home. The Blue Federation had built a world-renowned city around Miss Herta's home. Relying on her reputation as a genius, the tourism industry here was very developed, and countless people from the galaxy came every day.

Herta was naturally aware of this, but she didn't care about any of it and tacitly approved of the Blue Federation's actions. Her only request was that Herta's reputation not be tarnished.

Since we're using her name to attract tourists, we can't compromise on quality; everything must be done to the highest standards.

"The only downside is that there are too many people?"

Miss Herta pondered for a moment, then opened the communication interface and sent a message to the Federation.

"The amusement park will be cleared out tomorrow."

The message came back shortly after. But Herta didn't even glance at it; there was no need for them to. The slightly delayed response was simply because they were contacting the amusement park to clear the area.

"In order..."

Miss Herta curled the corners of her lips, wondering if Sera would feel afraid.

Miss Herta put the roller coaster first, followed by the pirate ship for a break—and third, the giant swing! Although Miss Herta hadn't experienced it herself, seeing that most people's reactions were quite frightened, she checked it off the list to see how Sera would react.

After selecting a few more attractions, Miss Herta wrote down the last one – the Ferris wheel. All the information she had consulted recommended taking the Ferris wheel at night as the last stop, saying that the fireworks display at the highest point would enhance the experience.

So, let's take stock of the current situation.

Sera was sitting in a chair, holding a brand new notebook in her hand.

His fingers deftly twirled the pen as he began to think.

"First of all..."

Sera wrote two words and circled them.

"Core.

In my Remembrance before I woke up, I had absolutely no recollection of it.

So some things happened that helped me find my core.

But when I suddenly appeared on the Blue, I had no related Remembrance.

Explanation... There must be something I have to do on the Blue, and I can't have any Remembrance. Or rather... I only had time to retain some Remembrance. Although the Remembrance weren't successfully preserved, my instincts won't change.

My knowledge proves this point.

The only thing the Blue might ask me to do is related to the Herta. But is this timing really right?

Sera frowned. Herta was now a young girl; Amphoreus's cycle of reincarnation truly begun?

"Ah, of course, "Sera solemnly raised her hands in surrender. "I never mentioned Ms. Herta's age; it was merely a matter of inference without my intention to consider it."

So... Sera's eyes flickered; he had never felt his mind so sharp. He considered a possibility... so... could the answer really be ййййййй?

Sera did not write down her deductions, but silently kept her doubts to herself.
