"Add the 'Giant of Light' experiment to the to-do list."
Ian nodded, satisfied with his line of thought, and Adalbert's suggestions were very useful, so he patted the other's shoulder: "Next, we need to prepare some progression-related equipment for Prince Michael. He will arrive in a while, and I need to accompany him, so I'm counting on you."
"No problem. Although I don't know when you formed an alliance with him, having a Fifth Energy Level ally supporting us within The Empire is definitely beneficial."
Adalbert readily agreed, then casually asked, "When will he arrive?"
Ian: "Ten."
Adalbert nodded, "Ten hours? Then there's still time to prepare, I'll go organize first…."
Ian: "Nine."
Adalbert: "???"
Nine seconds later, under Adalbert's rather speechless gaze, Michael arrived at the Silverpeak Domain.
"Did I come at the wrong time?"
