All the heroes are here.

Aya and Lucy are here.

Rosalie is here, too.

And I'm sure Momo is on her way to come here.

Truly surrounded.

I look at Noel in front of me.

She has a serious look on her face.

......I'm impressed on how much she has grown.

"Seriously, you did so many crazy things. Making a bet with the Moon Goddess, bringing Leviathan out of his habitat, gathering millions of spirits to fight against millions of angels....it is all out of this world." (Noel)

"How could I not change after all that?" (Noel)

"You're pretty crazy yourself. You really trusted me, and let yourself become the vessel of the Moon Goddess. One that almost no one knows anything about." (Makoto)

Noel really made this plan...huh

This plan is making hostages of not just herself, but of everyone here.

She wouldn't have dared make a plan like this in the past.

She wouldn't have dared to make it....but as kind as she is, it isn't like she couldn't.

In the end, she is one of the royals of Highland. And we all know how those guys are.

Just by being a princess, she is taught all about politics, and how to either attack, or defend from your political enemies.

It was whipped into her very bones, since she was a child.

Even as she was before, she would scheme every now and then. But never in a way that might hurt people.

Does that make her a fake? Not a real saint?

No, I admire her more after this.

She had the means, the smarts, and any reason you could think of to scheme against her political enemies,  but she chose not too.

She has a great deal of will, too.

She even let herself become the vessel of the Moon Goddess for a bit.

If it comes down to it, she might be willing to do anything.

And right now, she had shed her naivety.

She probably kept thinking, and thinking, and thinking on what she could do against me.

Ruminating over the time we spent together, thinking over every memory, trying to find a weakness.

And she has grasped a hold over mine.

I try my hardest not to smile.

Right now, I have a certain power in me. One even I don't fully understand.

Rpg Player.

That skill had single-handedly let me pass the trial of the gods that is, Leviathan.

If I'm ever in a pinch, I'm sure I can rely on it to show me the best route.

A way to win.

I'm not that dense.

I know I couldn't have made it all the way to how I am now, just through sheer luck.

Too many things aligned.

I don't know the full scope of RPG Player, but I know it is powerful.

Does Noel know of this?
