THE VAMPIRE MISTRESS AND HER SERVANT DISCUSS POTIMAS
“The more MA energy you use, the shorter the planet’s life span gets. People didn’t know that back then, so they mistook it for an unknown source of limitless energy and used it to their little hearts’ content. That’s what put their civilization on the path to destruction.”
“Such grave foolishness. They must not have held a speck of the wisdom you described, young miss.”
“I told you, we can’t blame them. A certain bastard deliberately set them up, remember?”
“Young miss, you must not use such crass language. Even if he is a bastard.”
“What else am I supposed to call him?”
“You have a point, but still…”
“That bastard killed my parents and tried to kill both of us, too.”
“Yes, that’s true.”
“And Ariel told us that he’s always been a bastard, even in ancient times when that civilization still existed. If that’s not a bona fide bastard, then what is?”
“I understand your feelings, but I do not think it befits a lady to say ‘bastard’ so many times.”
“Oh? Me, a lady? Goodness…”
(The young miss is embarrassed.)
“…Do you think they’re all right up there?”
“We need not worry about Lady Ariel and Lady White, I am sure. Although I am a bit concerned for Miss Ael and company.”
“But they’re with Potimas, remember? I wouldn’t be surprised if that bastard tries to stab them in the back.”
“That certainly is possible. However, I am sure that Lady Ariel and Lady White will be prepared for such an eventuality.”
“Right. You’re right, of course.”
“Besides, even that man would surely not attempt such foolishness when the world is at stake, no?”
“Yeah right. Potimas is a bona fide bastard, remember? Whether the world’s in danger or not, he’d gladly betray someone if given the chance.”
“My apologies. I confess I thought the same thing, but I did not wish to say so.”
“Right? This is the same guy who discovered MA energy and convinced humans to use it even though he knew that could destroy everything. Why would he care if the world’s in danger or not?”
“Indeed. I suppose there is no reason he would be concerned for the fate of the world now when he is the very same man who endangered it in the past.”
“Not to mention, isn’t he the one who developed that UFO in the first place? How many times does he have to put the world in danger of destruction before he’s satisfied?”
“I suspect he will continue to do so until he dies.”
“What a scary thought. But the scariest thing is that you’re probably right.”
