1. "Oh just relax..."

1. "You know better than anyone how good I am at running away."

1. "According to opal, the situation is that the two of them are confronting each other."

1. As long as they focus on each other, 2. There's no way they'll notice me.

1. There's no way they'll notice me once I conceal my presence.

1. "Huh?" 2. "Hold on..."

1. "Why do I recognize this magic signature?"

1. "...!"

1. "It's one of the "Mother" doubles that I followed back then!"

1. "Who's in the black"

1. Who's in the black robes in front of her?

1. They don't seem particularly hostile, 2. So why is she so on guard??

1. "More importantly..."

2. What kind of intel am I supposed to gather from so far away?? 3. "Sorry, I think I'll have to hang up for now." 4. "I have to find a way to infiltrate the building." 5. "Don't be stupid! That's their territory!" 6. "Are you sure you can get away if they catch you?" 7. "But... If I don't," 8. "Then I won't get any results for this mission..."

1. "If it's just surveillance," 2. "Opal could probably do that herself."

1. But since she asked me to do this, 2. It must be because her magical construct birds can't get close to the building-

1. "That's why she needs someone with an extremely weak"

1. "Someone with an extremely weak magical signature like me," 2. "To slip in unnoticed."

1. "Xiao wang! Can you fix this picture for me?" 2. "I have 8 other tasks on hand already!" 3. "Have you heard? Our manager is cheating with the son of some ceo!" 4. "No way... What's she thinking?" 5. "!!"

1. "Since when did you become as cowardly as the humans..."

1. "...tsavorite?"

1. "You know what? I get it." 2. "You're attached to the wealth and status you currently enjoy."

1. "But once we knock her off the board," 2. "You could take over all of her assets!"

1. "Knock her off the board?"

1. "The board?"

1. "You're as arrogant as you are clueless."

1. "Generations of the nobility in this city were hand-raised by her."

1. "To put it bluntly,"

1. "She is the absolute authority of these lands."

1. "To overturn her rule, you'd have to track down every false identity she's ever used," 2. "And break every individual mental spell on all of her informants."

1. "You think that an uppity moron like you,"

1. "Has what it takes to challenge what she's built?"

1. "As. I. Thought." 2. "How very human of you!" 3. "We're demons!" 4. "We are a higher life form!" 5. "Fuck all this talk of authority and status." 6. "If we wanted to," 7. "Those things could be crushed and rebuilt over and over again!"

1. "Watch your mouth, brat."

1. ""We"? Who's "We"?"

1. "Don't drag me into your little rebellion."

1. "Rebellion!"

1. "Aren't you sick of it?" 2. "She hides her power in all of us, constantly watching us," 3. "All so she can use us as shields when she's in danger!" 4. "But she's already withdrawn her magic from all of us," 5. "Your accusation doesn't have a leg to stand on."

1. "I don't know why you hold so much hatred towards the chief," 2. "Nor do I care." 3. "But if you're looking to crack the balance between humans and demonkind," 4. "And it ends up disrupting the lifestyle I'm currently enjoying..." 5. "Without hesitation," 6. "I will find you,"
