The Ultimate Support Character

Right after sending those delegates to their rooms to have them rest, I went back to where Nysia was and activated the Support Incarnation.

[2400 units of Energy has been used to produce a Support Incarnation]

[Destination: Yuko (Companion)]

[Duration: 26 hours 24 minutes]

It will witness Yuko's Transcendence and will also give me experience on what to expect during my attempt.

By using Energy Amplification before activating the Support Incarnation, it added 20% to the duration of the Incarnation and also raised its strength to 60% that of the original. In case those Corrupted and the Dark Soldiers there try to interrupt Yuko's Transcendence, my Incarnation at least has the strength of a Great-class there.

About Yumiko's Transcendence, she has the Council of Twenty and the Spirit King and Queen at her back. Besides, those Dark Elves will not dare to come out when every big figure of the Spirit World is together like that.

It will be their loss if they were annihilated before new troops descend there.

In any case, if something really happened, I will instruct Jayna to use Support Recall. I might get stuck there for 14 days but that's better than letting something bad happen to Yumiko or Jayna.

I've already told Nysia about it. If that really happened, she won't make a move for 2 weeks to wait for me.

"About Amry. You should talk to her about it, you're from the same world and from your words, your purpose here is to prevent the Darkbugs to assimilate this world. It won't make any sense for her to join them unless she has decided to ditch your world and come over to them or she doesn't have any idea that she's already connected to the Order of the Dark Host.

Nysia advised after I'm done sending the Incarnation and replenishing my Energy Reserves.

Her words make sense and that was also what I was thinking. Having someone to second my thoughts was really better than guessing alone.

Amry came from the same world, even if we hadn't spent enough time to really know each other, she was exposed to the Principal.

Before coming here, he only mentioned that we have to be wary of the Alien Civilization and not her.

There's probably an explanation somewhere and this might also give us more information.

Alright. Let's talk to her about it first.

Having decided that, I thanked Nysia and immediately went to the room designated for Amry.

It's better to clear this up properly before dealing with the others. There's a lot going on in this world, having a clear distinction on who is an ally or who is an enemy will help everyone to have some sense of security.

After three knocks at the door, it opened slightly and Amry's face peek out from the gap. Behind her, I noticed that someone else was inside her room. The figure immediately jumped down from the bed to hide behind the door. He's fast enough that he wouldn't be able to be caught by someone if I hadn't noticed him as soon as she opened the door.

"Kazeyoshi, you don't need to hide. I already saw you."

Is he in cahoots with her or is this just the extension of what I asked from her earlier? Asking her to teach him. Either way, let's act just as normal.

I called out to him and that resulted in a sound of someone stumbling over something from behind Amry.

The way her expression changed from nonchalant to irritation was fully captured by me.

"Wait. It's not what it looks like, Daisuke."

Without his shirt on, Kazeyoshi peeked out from behind Amry.

I already saw it though, there's a wound at his shoulder and he's probably being treated by Amry.

But where did he get that wound?

When Amry heard his words, she facepalmed. No other reaction could best describe what she's feeling from that.

"Haa. This idiot. Don't say things that will make others misunderstand!"

After releasing a sigh, she turned around and hit Kazeyoshi in the head which the latter tried to block by putting his hand up to cover his head.

Seeing the chaos that ensued inside the room, the thought of confronting her about whether she's part of that secret organization or not lessened.

Still, I need to check it. There's really the possibility that she knew about it but she had no idea that it was the organization we were talking about.

"…Alright. Sort it out first, I'll wait here."

"Come in, Daisuke. It's done. Oi, Kazeyoshi, stay there, I'm still not done treating that."

Amry quickly answered while still fuming in irritation.

"What happened to him?"

I entered the room and saw his scorched shoulder. Amry probably applied some kind of medicine to it which dried it up.

"He wanted me to hit him with my ability to test if he could still dodge my attacks now that I got a power-up from you. As you can see, that's the result."

"He's being an idiot again, eh? Still no progress in that?"

"It's also my fault this time, that's why we didn't tell you. Anyway, why are you here?"

She's just acting naturally, she didn't even notice that I had already suspected her earlier.

I looked around first before releasing Flux Energy from my hand which spread throughout the room and covered every space which the sound could pass through.

Just like what Yuko did back then in the room inside Zerina's manor when she told me about that image that she saw. Turning the room soundproof.

The two of them gulped as they watched me do that. Their ears then perked up, waiting for my answer to Amry's question.

"Amry. I'm suspecting you as part of that secret organization."

"Wait, Daisuke. What do you--"

I put a hand in front of Kazeyoshi to stop him while I kept my gaze stay at Amry who was still confused at what I said.

A few seconds later, she looked up and answered.

"I am indeed a member of an organization but it's not the organization you're talking about, Daisuke."

Amry spoke with conviction that her eyes could be said as firm and she believed there's nothing wrong to it.

"Are you sure? Do you recognize this?"

I pulled up a tablet pc and showed her the insignia which the triplets drew.

"What's that, Daisuke? A sign?"

Kazeyoshi commented at the side. He's still as clueless but I guess that's one of his good sides.

"W-where did you get this? And who drew it?"

Amry's voice cracked, she clearly recognized it.

"The captives you saw. This is the Insignia of the Organization they came from. So, Amry, are you part of it?"

I don't know if I looked imposing or scary but Amry took a step back when I asked her the question.

"Daisuke, how will she be a part of it? She's also a Hero like us."

"Be quiet for now, Kazeyoshi. Isn't that why I'm here and why I locked the room so that no one will hear us? I also don't want to suspect her but I need to know, what is this insignia to her?"

He is here to be a witness, not to meddle with this. No matter what, I'll have her talk about it even if I have to use some force.

"Order of the Light's Cradle. That is the insignia of that organization. And I am part of it, however, I am not aware that the Order is colluding with the enemy."

Amry answered after a while. With the tone of her voice, she's most likely telling the truth. It's a different name but she didn't even mention that the insignia was wrong.

"Should I believe you on that?"

I switched what was shown on the screen to the confession of Ella.

Upon seeing that, Kazeyoshi and her watched it in silence. When they're done, Kazeyoshi stood up and went to the side where he could go between us easily.

From what they watched, he determined that my words have weight and he's giving Amry the chance to defend herself.

I nodded at him before turning my focus back on Amry. I'm already convinced that she didn't know but I needed to know what she knew about it, about the side that she's seeing.

"Let's say you're telling me the truth about not knowing about their part in colluding with the Dark World. Tell me, who recruited you and what is the goal of the organization in your eyes?"

"I am recruited by the Sovereign Princess. And the goal of that Order is to provide a source of daily staples to the vagrants by building those Black Markets. The three factions can't take them in, either they're far away or they don't want to join."

Black Markets. If it's that Sovereign Princess, as the wife of the Enthroned Prince, the suspicion towards him has just heightened. Nysia mentioned how overprotective he is towards her. It's unnatural that she was sent here unless there's an important objective.

"I see. It looks like you joined the front of the organization, the name of the organization according to the captives is the Order of the Dark Host, you heard it there in the video. Also, you knew that the Order isn't concentrated in The Principality but it also has members from the other factions. Isn't that enough to prove that they're one and the same?"

"It seems like it. Give me a chance, Daisuke. I'll tell the Sovereign Princess about this. She couldn't be a part of that Dark Host. She's the one pushing on the welfare of those vagrants."

Amry insisted. It looks like she truly trusts that Sovereign Princess. But without proper confirmation that she's clean, I won't lift the suspicion about her. There's a lot of possibility going on here, we have to be really careful to determine who was colluding with the Dark World.

"No. You are not to tell her about this. I can be lenient to you Amry just because you're one of us, but the others aren't, especially the Sovereign Princess, her husband is one of the possible suspects who is receiving Dark Energy from them. Maybe that is what's shown to you but didn't we destroy a Black Market which led to this situation? Now I ask you, can you stay here and not move?"

I don't need her alerting the Sovereign Princess. The third assessment is still ongoing, if nothing went wrong, it would reveal those who can be trusted and those who can not. Because of how deeply rooted they are, I could smell a large scheme was being manipulated behind the scenes. There's also the possibility that those who we are suspecting are being set up by the culprits.

Haa... This world is turning to be more and more complicated.
