[Y/n's Point of View]

"Speak for yourself." I cross my arms waiting for his answer of what exactly he is up to, lets hope that he isn't planing the other way around of poisoning me in a nicest way as possible.

"I ought to be certain of one thing before we start, Is retrieving the Electro Gnosis in your query."

"And what of it."

"Well, to put it this way.. documents archive management and even Gnosis  is a real work for you to do all by yourself."

He says in a grinning expression with his hand holding together as if striking me in a business deal. Again i am getting this familiarity that this isn't the first time it happened before or once perhaps some scenerio of sort took place long ago, without another though this could be one of his elaborate madness—

"I refuse." I turn away dodging him.

"Why the rush, i haven't uttered any of sort."

"Declined."

"Now don't be such a brute, I've been your Doctor for centuries, does it hurt to be a little kinder?"

Dottore said faking a pained expression when clearly he is a terrible at acting, oh as if I'm gonna buy his excuse. Doctor my ass your name is a fancy however, that doesn't suit your other side of personality. A doctor capable of treating a patient in a way it is excruciating as possible not only that, countless of experiments.

"Let me just remind you, the Gnosis is sure to be around Sumeru and i happen to have some unfinished business by chance."

"Oh, you're certain?" I exclaim.

"My assistance have confirmed to me about Balladeers's wherebouts."

"You're not thinking of taking the half of my work for your own gain, are you.?

I question raising my brow at him, clearly not buying any of his deal but i can see the point that this will be a win-win situation for me since i highly have the hopes of not wanting to deal with that half-ass puppet's antics however.

"State your query to the point Doctor i got a feeling nothing is free not even from your mouth."

A smile crept from his face as i finish my word and that alone is enough to bring certainty to his purpose.

"Simply i get to borrow the Gnosis once a while before i return it to you, and i can promise you that you will be the one that holds it in the end. I have no need for recognition." He pauses again with a smirk curled on the corners of his mouth and i am down for whatever it will cost me to wipe it off from that face of his.

"I aswell inquire of you, if you arrive by Inazuma do give me the knowledge of it." He inquiries. My brow furrowed at his words surely he is not referring to a method specialized mostly in Inazuma is he.

"Was the Puppeteer not enough for you?"

"He was a simply conducted failed product by means speaking he isn't a complete one."

Bold of him to utter the word right in front of my face, i am sure he is referring to Scaramouche himself and yes he implies me to seek the knowledge directly from its creator.

. . .

"Your madness and desire for an unbeatable thing to match a god is near impossible, do you think I'll just simply go my way to Inazuma to research a long forgotten knowledge for you."

I sneer at him only to have him contemplative. Sure it has always been his desire and longing dream to create a formidable weapon or whatsoever that can match a god and that is why he created his own immortality let alone copies then i by chance of  sheer luck survived his madness leaving a distaste in my part.
