As Compa and I fetch IF and Lady Histoire, the 4 of us head back to Nepgear's room. Both Histoire and IF checks up on her first, there's no need to be hasty with questions.
Histoire: Hello there Nepgear, how are you feeling?
Lady Histoire asks in a soft and quiet manner. Nepgear nods in response with a smile. Lady Histoire smiles back to her and nods back.
Lady Histoire: This may be sudden.....I want you to tell us what happened back there at Gamindustri Graveyard 3 years ago.
Nepgear bites her lips as Histoire asks her that question. I notice that she's feeling unsettled about the question, no doubt about that.
Nepgear: About 3 years......big sister and the others.....were defeated by someone named CFW Magic. Her strength.....I was surprised......she defeated us singlehandedly.
CFW Magic? They were defeated singlehandedly by one person? How? With all of the power of the 5 CPUs combined, they still lost to someone? Lady Histoire didn't show any signs of shock, because she already had this feeling from the start, the feeling of guilt for sending them to the Gamindustri Graveyard.
Histoire: I do apologize for sending you girls back there. If only I knew there was someone who was strong enough to beat you all, I could've come up with some countermeasure.
Nepgear: It's fine Histoire. It was unexpected. We kind of over-under estimated her and we lost in the end.....being unable to do anything, my body was frozen in place when she defeated Big sister and the others.
It's hard to imagine, 5 CPUs over one person and they ultimately lost to her. What kind of person is this CFW Magic? What does she get to do with the captive of the CPUs? Or why was she there in the first place?
Histoire: For now, you must rest. I'll think of something to regain your lost shares. Once your strength is back, altogether with the other CPU candidates as they manage to finally transform, we will tackle another rescue mission, and this time you will bring them all back in one piece.
Nepgear nods in response.
Nepgear: Ah, Histoire. If I may ask, what happened here these past 3 years?
Histoire: It is sad to say that ASIC is completely in control of Gamindustri. Perseus and the other Knights have been working hard to decrease their activities here. I hope the other nations are also doing fine.
Nepgear: Yeah. I am also worried about Uni, Rom, and Ram. With Leanbox, Vert having no little sister, I hope Chika is fine.
Histoire: I help out with Chika from time to time and it looks like she's taking it under control......for the time being.
Oh yeah. I do hear about Leanbox not having any CPU candidate. Who is this Chika they're speaking off? She must be their Oracle. I haven't dispatch there for a mission before with the exception of Lowee and Lastation so I really don't know what kind of a Nation is Leanbox.
Nepgear: That's good to hear *yawns* Goodness....I feel a little bit sleepy.
And with that, Nepgear lies her head down and immediately goes back to sleep. Histoire excuses herself and leaves the room leaving the 4 of us here.
Perseus: So.....what's next?
IF: Nothing, unfortunately. As usual, we should be doing our jobs. *Phone ringing* Oh excuse me, I'll take this one.
IF goes by the window to answer her phone. Out of nowhere, Compa tugs on my sleeve, calling for my attention.
Perseus: Oh, yes? Do you need anything?
