“Mafahl. Do you really think you can change the world? This is the playground of the Goddess…We’re no different from the magical beasts in the arena. The Goddess looks down from the distant heavens to see us struggling. How are you going to fight someone like that?”
“I’m collecting various hands to play. Everything is going well now. The Goddess may also be preparing various things…Well, there’s no problem. After all, I have some talented subordinates.”
Ruphas said as she thought of her subordinates. They would surely do well. Since she had such confidence and trust, she could allow herself to play the role of the Goddess’ toy and clown, continuing to dance to her tune. Although she was awake now due to a little shock, she would soon return to slumber again. And then, she would wander about like a sleepwalking patient with sleepy eyes, baiting the Goddess to let down her guard.
“In particular, ‘she’ is talented…If it is Ophiuchus, she would certainly do well.”
“…I haven’t heard of her. Aren’t there thirteen people in the Twelve Stars if you include the Twins?”
“She is the thirteenth star that even the Twelve Stars are unaware of. Two hundred years ago…No, she started taking actions on my orders even before that. I’m here in this way right now because she was able to outsmart the Goddess.”
