Grown-Up Business

*Huff...* *Huff...* You're really strong...

...Every attack was stopped before it could land. As we are now, we're no match for her...

Omega... is too hungry to make anything now...

Fufu. Don't sell yourselves short. You all fought well too.

Though, how should I put it...

You're still a little inexperienced, perhaps?

Luna, you hesitate at crucial moments. And Smile, your field of awareness is still too narrow.

What about Omega? How did Omega do?

You... use a kind of power I've never seen before. It was interesting.

But... you really are still young.

You'll improve with time, though.

Phew. That's enough. Let's stop here.

...So what do you think? Did we pass your test?

Hmm... I suppose you did.

...Then tell us.

What you meant by this "grown-up business."

...

Lavistar, the world you live in, is far more fragile than you might think.

For people to live within it...

Countless efforts are made in places unseen to keep the world intact.

The problem is that there are also beings who seek to destroy that world.

...Cannot comprehend.

If the world is destroyed, the villain who destroyed it can't survive either.

There is no benefit to such a foolish act.

Are you talking about Voidborns?

If it's them, then maybe it's possible? They probably don't care whether the world gets destroyed or not...

No. Not Voidborns.

In fact, the Voidborns you've seen... actually exist within the rules of this world.

But there are also beings outside those rules...

Or those who seek to break free of them.

Sometimes... very rarely, when such beings are discovered...

I'm the one who takes care of the problem.

At NOA's—No...

At the request of the Grand Witch, Lady Alicia.

What...?

You act on Lady Alicia's orders?

Just... who are you?

Ah, come to think of it, I never told you my full name.

Let me introduce myself again.

My name is Amora.

Amora Stranis.

Countess of the Stranis estate, and an [executor] of the Grand Witch.

As well as the mother of Asherah Stranis.
