AG241 was taken aback. The four girls who needed to be eliminated had disappeared right before his eyes. There was only one person in IDYPIA who could make such a thing happen. Therefore, it was something that should never have occurred.

"M, why did this happen?! And what's with that white hair..."

"Sometimes, when one cannot control their overflowing power, things end up like this."

"Were those individuals... worth that much?"

He trusted M more than anyone else. But he had been betrayed. AG241, overcome with emotion, marched towards M and yelled furiously.

Seeing AG241's contorted expression, M felt a sense of exhilaration at the extent of his emotional recovery.

"That intense reaction is reminiscent of back then."

"Back then?"

Recalling that the first time AG241 confronted her, he suppressed his emotions. Feeling his mood calm down, AG241 realized that his brain chip was functioning properly.

"...I apologize. But this is a case of breaking the law. It cannot be tolerated under any circumstances."

"So, did you report it to the Security Committee?"

"Yes. Because I am someone who protects IDYPIA."

AG241 was convinced. Only IDYPIA could prevent the end of humanity, and he was prepared to sacrifice everything to protect it. However, M, seemingly already anticipating everything, asked with a gentle expression.

"Do you speak even after seeing those memories?"

"I am not swayed by such things."

"Do you not think that it could be real?"

"No."

But AG241's eyes were wavering.

"Do you believe that your current actions are protecting IDYPIA?"

"Of course."

"But, what if... I mean, if a more threatening entity than Mother SAI were to emerge, could IDYPIA still be protected then?"

"Excuse me?"

AG241 was taken aback by M's question. He had never considered such a scenario before.

"What I'm asking is if the current state of IDYPIA can withstand a fight. The population is recovering, yes, but that's about it. We haven't seen significant progress in this peaceful world, have we? I'm questioning whether such a world can withstand the future that lies ahead."

"Of course. That's why IDYPIA has AG and you, isn't it?"

"So, based on my judgment, I sent those girls back to the past."

"What?"

AG241 couldn't believe it. No, he didn't want to believe it. The judgment of entrusting their future to those girls, and M who claimed to have sent them back to the past. AG241 believed that M's predictions, based on countless calculations, were more accurate than anything else, but now, that trust was beginning to waver. AG241 burst into bitter laughter.

"Well, it seems you can make mistakes too."

"It's not a mistake."

"Then, are you asking me to believe that now?! How could you do this? How?"

AG241 erupted in anger again. He couldn't control his emotions at the thought of his most trusted ally betraying him. Normally, his brain chip would regulate these emotions, but not this time. Because M was controlling AG241's brain chip.
