Shester asked Signus about Gaius' great mystery without hesitation.
Then the signal slipped away only slightly, albeit momentarily.
Shester couldn't have missed that.
"... Signus, didn't you turn away from me now?
Then Signus turned to Chester, seemingly powerless.
"For what? I don't think I have a reason to keep looking you in the eye the whole time.
"That's right, but there will be something called timing. Now, that just kind of freaked me out, didn't it?
"Whatever it is, you're on your own, but if so, what do you say it is?
Shester narrowed her eyes sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Right...... that way of looking away is that when you have something to hide. I mean... Gaius, you know why your magic is so powerful. But you're not going to teach us that... or anything?
Then Signus snorted one hunch.
"... hitting it. Looks like you're really on guard. Exactly. I know the secrets of Gaius' magic. And I'm not going to tell you guys that. You're right."
"Hmm... well, do you have a secret? It's not a mutation, it's some kind of secret..."
"Bye. Exactly. It is not a coincidence or a certain chance of being born. There's... there's a secret."
"Hmm... I want to hear one thing. Are you involved in that secret?
"Yeah? What does that mean?
"Gaius, I have also known since he was a child that you are the bearer of far superior magic than usual. I mean, in your childhood, you had some sort of involvement with Mr. Gaius, and I'm asking him if that's why his magic has increased."
Then Signus waved a big or long time.
"No, that's not it. It was not until a few years ago, not in childhood, that I learned of Gaius' existence. I mean, by the time I got to know him, I had no doubt that he was the owner of a mighty magic power."
"... is that true?
"True. There is no fact that I was involved in his abilities. Let me assure you this."
"Hmm... so you think someone else was involved?
Then Signus raised his mouth angle.
"... Are you a good question? It guides really well. But this conversation has never happened before. I don't want to talk about Gaius' secrets."
When Signus said so, he leaned quietly against the back of the couch and closed his eyelids.
