(I asked for permission to post again, naturally !blush )<br/><br/>"...Eh?" Eggy was surprised when SoF treated her with so much respect.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">He still thinks something like that? Do they really... still think I'm worth consulting?</span><br/><br/>Although the girls had been trying to divert their attention elsewhere, deep down they had been beating themselves up. Doce thought she was a very intelligent person, but after being assured by confidence, she went and made mistake after mistake. It was to the point where she really thought it was time to pass the rod to someone else.<br/><br/>But after messing things up so bad that time travel was the only hope to fix it, a person she hardly knew could still have so much confidence in her?<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">It's misguided, right? Isn't he just an idiot?</span><br/><br/>She didn't know if she was worthy of trust like that.... But it felt good to be believed in?<br/><br/>Doce in reality was a hardcore antisocial. She had her brains, but she was too quick to give up on things. Her intelligence made things easy, and she liked it that way. She didn't like to do difficult things. Given that she had no truly close friends, there was never anyone to motivate her further either. So she never imagined that in a situation like this, she could feel so touched.<br/><br/>"That's..." Eggy's cheeks blushed and her head lowered, she gave a shy nod. "Okay. Then, my vote... is to follow her to the Overseer. The device maintaining this game world was in his possession the first time around. Originally, I destroyed it so we could leave this world and go home. I didn't realize how important it was."<br/><br/>"Also, this information we want from that Jun guy, what use would it be in our hands? The overseer has been trying to fix things, right? He should know a lot more about it than we do, so I thing we should meet up quickly. After that, if anything goes wrong with the guy they sent to get the data, we can take over that mission."<br/><br/>"Maybe... it's the wrong choice. I've been wrong a lot lately. But even if it's wrong, I don't think we won't be able to recover. ... That's my opinion."
