Adelaide told the goddess Sophie everything she knew.
"That's not a bad excuse."
Upon hearing that the Star Empire had deployed an Intelligent Mechanic Legion to the mortal realm of the Square World, and even learning of their subsequent arrangements, the goddess Sophie's eyes lit up.
"Searching for lost soldiers... The excuse is a bit of a stretch, but it will suffice."
"I wonder why the Star Empire even needs such a high-minded justification."
"It really feels like they're tying their own hands."
"But there must be a reason I'm not aware of. It's so frustrating! My Half-Body is so useless, falling behind yours again."
"If she had successfully completed her Ascension to Divinity, I wouldn't even need to be asking you about this."
Adelaide couldn't help but smile at her words.
