Snippet #2690612

While Kohaku is waiting for Weiss to collect her belongings and walk out from her room, he just stood idly with his back leaned against the wall and his arms crossed, and chatting with Wilbert about some trivial matters that are going on around Rapsodia. It's always a good thing to kept yourself informed of what is going on in the world. Two of the suitcases that he brought along are full of stuffs and Wilbert had asked to carry them for him, though Kohaku just kindly declined, as he wasn't that weak to not capable of handling his own things. Though he must admit, the Head Commander really lives up to his reputation as a gentleman, if it wasn't for his flirtatious antics, that is.

"So, the artifact simulation project has been making good progress under the supervision of Her Majesty, huh? When do you think it will be put under experimentation?" Kohaku asked.

"We still have a long way to go. Of course, even if we are success, our results can never match a real artifact or fully capable of what an artifact can do, but it will surely bring forward a great advantage for us humankind in the endless war." Wilbert replied with a smile while brushed his hand through Kohaku's hair, "I too, am looking forward to fighting alongside you one day, Lord Vier."

"And I you, Sir Wilbert. At least it's good to hear that we are actually getting somewhere in all of this bloodshed. After all, what matters most is the peace for the people." Kohaku calmly said.

A couple of months ago, after the Divas and Divos accomplished a Thoryvós exterminating mission in an ancient temple to the South, they found out that it was also a storage full of texts and tools which had never be found before. The Queen had sent archaeologists to excavate the site and had retrieved precious materials, which unveiled to them many answers to the mysteries of the artifacts. One of them is the technique to replicate their capability of destroying the monsters.

Queen Ardelia has started a project named Antigrafís where she is currently in the process of deciphering the texts along with her scholars. But everything is still in theoretic phase. They are making progress, but it will still be a long way before it can become reality. This project still remains as a secret for the rest of the kingdom, saves the six of them and some other high-ranked members of the Royal Council, which included Wilbert. But as of now, Kohaku didn't think that his colleagues are interested in it much.

While they are chatting, Hideo walked past them. As usual, Kohaku just pretended that the guy wasn't there, especially now, since he doesn't want to weigh his mind with his personal matters. When Hideo threw the insults at Wilbert, the Head Commander, however, didn't flinch and just smiled while bowing slightly, "It would be unforgivable of me if I were to get in the way of you Divas and Divos, Lord Drei. So you can rest assure. I'm simply following what Her Majesty's ordered, and she will have my head if you didn't come back in one piece. You don't think there's only Thoryvós in this kingdom, right?"

After shooting Kohaku a blank gaze which he didn't bother to care, the third Divo left. Moments later, Weiss walked out and stated that she is ready. Wilbert bowed to the two of them before leading the way to where the other three are. "Don't concern yourself too much with what Drei said. That's just how he always is." Kohaku said to Wilbert as they walked.

"I'm very privileged that you actually worry for me." Wilbert grinned brightly again, which Kohaku just sighed at as they stopped where Aria's room is, only to see that Ren and Emma are also there too. "It's great to find everyone here. Are you all ready?" Kohaku asked them.
