After visiting Teda, Bologue explained these matters to Lebius, initially thinking Lebius might have doubts about establishing a base at Teda's place, given that Teda was no longer a member of the Order Bureau, even though there was still an agreement connecting them.

With Lebius's permission, the base for operations inside the Great Rift was temporarily established for Bologue.
