"Then, I'll leave the Mercury Trojan Horse in your care," Ash said. "Stop the Silver Lamp, kill the Mercury Trojan Horse, and then we'll leave together. This Sinra journey can end perfectly."
"Alright." Black Crow nodded, pausing before adding, "If you fail, or if I fail, remember to record my story in the Mage's Handbook, okay?"
Ash did not correct him on the notion that 'mages cannot influence the Mage's Handbook,' and nodded in agreement, "Okay—but we will not fail. You will succeed in your revenge, we will successfully return home, the Kingdom of Senluo will remain safe, the Mercury Trojan Horse will die a miserable death, and everyone will have a bright future."
"See you later, Tamasi."
"Mm."
Throughout the process, Ash was stingy with even a glance at the Mercury Trojan Horse, yet the Mercury Trojan Horse made no move, quietly watching Ash, Igula, and Gwen pass through the Fog Gate into the sixteenth layer of the Silent Spiral.

"Thank you," Black Crow suddenly said.
