The goddess of love and beauty:Aphrodite's cognitive warfare

The secret of Graude Foundation

"That's great, Milo, this is hilarious! Such a wonderful joke! Thank you very much!" Camus returned to the bar and ensured the woman was no longer nearby, so he secretly communicated with Milo, who was one meter away from him.

"You're welcome!Don't you think lightening your mood is more important than anything else right now? If you get too nervous, I'm worried you will have a mental breakdown."

"Then I really want to thank you even more. I feel like I'm one step closer to having a mental breakdown."

''You should relax, man; we haven't discovered the details about that woman yet; maybe it's not that bad. ''

"So this means you can't be sure and can only assume. This means that we know very little about the real situation we are currently in, and we are being secretly watched by all parties. It's a fact that is more terrifying than announcing an official start of the actual Holy war."

'We should face it calmly even if it is the worst outcome. Besides, We cannot rule out the possibility that the chick is ordinary. Or as I said earlier, it could merely be an illusion caused by your anxiousness.

"No, if I wasn't the only one who saw her and what happened earlier, I'm pretty sure it wasn't an illusion.'

"But how could you explain that I can't feel the cosmos you mentioned?"

"I don't know either, but I promise you there is something strange." Camus did not intend to tell him that this woman looked strikingly similar to an old friend he used to know and was bumped into by him at such a time. This kind of coincidence was definitely an unusual suspicion.

"But I can see where you come from. She is way too pretty that almost surreal to be the mortal, More like she could be a Goddess or some kind of monster or something..''

"It's not because of that." He knew such a pretty-looking mortal existed, but this woman must not be expected. Still these words reminded him, could it really be some kind of monster that turned into that person's appearance? But why is she the way she is?why her?

"So what do you do now?"

"Everything is business as usual. Just act as if nothing happened. Try not to get too close to other Saints when I'm outside, and avoid relying on telepathic communication. It would be best if she doesn't appear again, but if she comes over someday, treat her like an ordinary patron. The longer she doesn't show up, the safer the situation may be. If this woman is a crucial figure or a threat to us, I'd better come here tomorrow or all this week; it would be even more suspicious if I suddenly stopped showing up tomorrow right after she saw me unexpectedly running to her tonight. Even if I expose myself more before her sooner or later, I will make sure the worst outcomes happen as late as possible before we get something useful from her."

''That's it, then. But to be honest, I really wish it was me who was exposed to her.... ''

''Are you going to lighten my mood again? If you handle it with this attitude, luckily, you are not the one who is exposed in front of her. ''

"I think you probably underestimate me. I may not be bad at dealing with women and getting pieces of information out of them."

"I trust your capability, apart from the monster that is 'far beyond 10/10' and way out of your league to handle with....."

"Hey, that's not very nice! What difference does that make? It's the same for me, although she looks exceptionally charming.....instead, it may be harder for you to keep calm with her than me because I've never seen you being so interested in a woman before, which is very unusual........"

"Hey, Don't be silly, Milo. Do you think we have to treat them differently according to their gender or the scales of attraction while dealing with suspicious enemies anyway?''
