Seeker has no enemies.

A strongest, invincible genius—even if you gathered every title in this world, they wouldn't be able to fully express her strength.

The wasteland was filled with mighty warriors lying dead in heaps.

Naturally, the one who had defeated them all was the Seeker.

"Ah-hahahaha! That feels wonderful! As expected, I am the strongest! No one can possibly defeat this overwhelming power befitting Unrei's Sword!"

With that, the Seeker turns her eyes to the girl crying at her feet.

The sight of that cherry-blossom hair—always looking down on her and making fun of her—now swaying with pitiful, sniffling sobs was truly pleasant.

"Hehehe, have you reflected on your actions?! If you've learned your lesson, call me onee-chan! Also, surrender that sunny spot by the window over there as my napping spot. And another thing: don't fabricate my heroic tales with the Conductor and spread them around the city. And then—"

As a victor's privilege, the Seeker piled demand after demand onto Rakka with a beaming smile.

All the while, Rakka sat in formal seiza, crying and pitifully nodding again and again. "Yes... yes..."

"Heheh! Well, I'm in a good mood, so I'll let you off with just this much today!"

"Thank you very much... I'll turn over a new leaf and obey onee-chan..."

"Alright! Justice has won!"

For Seeker, today must have become a day worthy of being remembered for the rest of her life.

All that was left was to return to Atlastia and enjoy an orange salt tea.

She might even call some friends and hold a small party.

Seeker was in such a good mood, but then her body suddenly floated into the air.

"!?"

At the same time, there was someone's presence behind her.

Judging by the hands slipped under her armpits, she was apparently being hoisted up high like a child.

"Ugh, what are you doing?! Who are you?!"

The someone behind her didn't answer.

However, before Rakka and the watching warriors, the person just kept hoisting her up high.

Seeker desperately kicked her legs and resisted, but there was no sign of being released.

"Grr, I am Seeker, you know?! I defeated the Sorciera of All-Encompassing Love, so I'm the greatest, you know?! ...Come on, stooop!"

But the Seeker's command only echoed emptily, and the hoisting continued—.

■

"(A strangely beautiful, refined, condescending laugh)"

"Ehh..."

"The Seeker's dream has become something pitiful..."

The image projected on the flesh-colored wall was Seeker's dream.

At least, until a little while ago, it should have been a perfect ideal.

But it had begun to change due to the mischief of one peerlessly beautiful girl.

The moment the Conductor touched the wall, Seeker began being hoisted up high in the image.

Incidentally, the one doing the hoisting was a featureless, smooth humanoid something with no face.

"Pfft hahahahahaha! Seeker is always like this. Truly adorable. It's the best—I feel as refined as when I split an ant trail with a stone."

"Look, Tsukimiya Toa. This is the entire reason the Professor and I wanted to put off the revival."

Conductor was giggling as always.

With a hand over her mouth, the sight of her smiling was refined, like a young lady innocent of the filth of the world smiling at flowers or butterflies.

Though, of course, the Conductor herself was the very filth of the world.

"Is it okay if I put rabbit ears on Seeker's head? The light-blue glowing ones."

"No. Do any more and you're banned."

"Hehehe, I'm not joking, you know."

"Don't say it in that 'just kidding' tone. Look at the Seeker's footage. The hoisting got so embarrassing that she's started crying a little. Poor thing. That one is the most childish at heart, so give her a break."

"But this one called you a cranky little runt earlier, Doctor."

"Let her cry a little more. That alone, I'll allow no matter what. Besides, I didn't like that she attacked the Professor right after regaining her memories."

The Conductor reached for the flesh-colored wall as if she had been waiting for that.

Then, in the image, rabbit ears were smoothly fitted onto the Seeker's head.

They began blinking cheaply in seven colors.

『S-Something got attached to me?! ...Huh, it's glowing? What is this, what is it?! Wait, sensei, please tell me what's on my head!』

『A person of such lowly status as myself cannot possibly look upon you.』

『Did I tell you to be that self-deprecating?!』

With the glowing rabbit ears swaying on her head, the Seeker was still being hoisted up high.

Seeing that, the Conductor collapsed on the spot with soundless laughter.

"(Laughter like a chirping little bird)"

"...I-Is this person really going to be able to help us?"

"Don't doubt it. She has the skill."

Doctor answered while recording the footage, looking satisfied.

"Now then, Conductor. It's about time to stop messing around. We've prepared the most amusing toy in Silver Twilight: the Seeker. This is an equal negotiation."

"What about Seeker-san's will...?"

The two didn't answer.

Naturally, Toa's words were treated as if they hadn't existed.

"Hehe, please don't be so impatient. I, too, am a member of Silver Twilight. Please allow me to repay the debt of you saving my life that day here."

"We didn't save you. Actually, don't teach this one lies."

"Eh? That was a lie too...?"

"This one's gone past compulsive lying and is a monster of lies, after all."

Toa looked at the Conductor in shock.

Perhaps noticing Toa's gaze, she returned a gentle smile.

That face seemed full of warm affection.

"Such a pure reaction, it reminds me of my little sister."

"Little sister... i-is that a lie too?"

"No way. This, at least, is true."

"Ah, is that so."

"It's a lie."

"Ehh..."

"Hehe, actually, it was an older sister."

"She doesn't have a sister either."

"This person is scary..."
(TL Note: I LOVE THIS CHARACTER!)

If Doctor were not here and she ended up talking one-on-one with her, Toa would surely be crushed to death by a mountain of lies.

Without a doubt, she told lies more often than she breathed.

"Enough with the farce. Just kill the angel already."

"I'm in the middle of doing that right now."

With that, the Conductor placed her fingertip on the wall and traced it with slow movements.

Each time she did, Seeker's dream became more and more of a wreck.

Right now, Seeker was being hoisted up high while riding in a convertible, wearing glowing rabbit ears and a risqué bunny suit, and speeding along a sunset coastline.

『What is thiiis?!』

At that question, Conductor burst out laughing again, elegantly.

"I think I'm just playing around as usual, though?"

"This labyrinth is composed of everyone's dreams. You could call it an angel without a physical form. It has no true form. It likely draws power from dreams and encroaches on the real world."

Although she had only just awakened, Conductor completely understood this labyrinth.

That was because of the ability of the Insignia of Harmony to perceive the correct state of the world.

She was what you could call a specialized counter to this world's distortions.

"So, if we wake each person from their dream one by one, that's the end. I just need to send dissonance into their dreams with the power of Harmony and have the dreamers reject the dreams."

"And the result is this?"

『Uwaaaaaah!』

"This is it. It's wonderful, isn't it? Seeker's crying voice is highly rated even in the Star Shiny cult's Situation Voice series."

"Damn cult. Once all this is over, I'll destroy it along with Lecturer."

The Conductor answered with a smile, "I'll be waiting."

Her composed figure strangely gave off a maternal air.

"So, then, from here on, I'll go through the dreams one after another and tamper with them using the Insignia of Harmony. The angel will surely interfere, so could I ask you all to guard me?"

"Tch, it just pisses me off that you're the only option."

"I-I'll do my best."

"Hehe, thank you. And yet, you're Tsukimiya Toa-san..."

"Wh-What is it?"

The Conductor looked at Toa's face and nodded with interest.

"You look a lot like a popular idol from Atlastia."

"That's a lie, right?"

"This one is true."

"It's a lie."

"This person is completely impossible...!"

『Ahh! Seeker! Please stop this right now for her! How pitiful!』

『But that bunny's thighs are magnificent. They show a beautiful sheen in the sunset. Hoh...』

『I've never seen someone whose shine gets clouded from lying too much... But isn't this a chance to create a legally impossible situation with Sorciera?』

『Here it comes...! The Sorciera naughty content assortment pack!』

『There's no way that's happening.』
