So...you're saying this is a virtual world inside that Paper Moon thingy?
[k]

？1：Well, this place sure looks like reality to me.

＠Sion
Of course it does. Right now, it IS our reality.
[k]

＠Sion
The fact that our conscious minds perceive us as being here right now...
[k]

＠Sion
...means that we ourselves have been transplanted into this virtual world somehow.
[k]

＠Sion
This includes our brains, nervous systems, sensory organs...everything that makes us who we are.
[k]

＠Sion
Consequently, even if there are discrepancies with the outside world...
[k]

＠Sion
...our minds are not presently able to perceive them.
[k]

[charaFace C 10]

＠Sion
Let me see... For example, say a two-meter tall person was keeping a thirty-centimeter tall animal as a pet.
[k]

＠Sion
Now imagine that this pet and its owner were sent to another world where everything was one tenth its usual size, including them.
[k]

＠Sion
Since everything around them remains at the proportions to which they are accustomed...
[k]

＠Sion
...the human and animal would never realize they were now twenty centimeters and three centimeters tall respectively.
[k]

[charaFace C 7]
＠Sion
That being said, it seems unlikely that ALL of our outside world knowledge and sensations would be absorbed...
[k]

＠Sion
...so there are likely to remain noticeable discrepancies.
[k]

＠Sion
Your suspicion regarding my supposedly new appearance is likely one such discrepancy.
[k]

＠Sion
I do find it strange that I seem to be the only one who is unable to perceive a change in my appearance. Perhaps something happened when we were converted to fit in this world.
[k]

[charaFace C 10]

＠Sion
It is probably a phenomenon along the lines of Spiritron or Pseudo-Spiritron conversion.
[k]

[charaFace C 6]

＠Sion
At any rate, even if this world is purely virtual...
[k]

＠Sion
...our perceiving it as reality means dying here would result in us meeting the same fate in reality, so be careful.

Honestly, I have no idea what all that means, but I do know one thing:
[k]

[charaFace A 4]

＠Kama
You're shady as hell.
[k]

＠Kama
I mean, you Atlas Institute people are the ones who gave Chaldea the Paper Moon in the first place, right?
[k]

[charaTalk B]
[charaFace B 10]
[charaFadein B 0.1 1]

＠Sion
Yes, that is true.
[k]

[charaFace B 6]

＠Sion
Originally, the Paper Moon was passed down among Atlas Institute leaders[line 2]specifically, the Eltnam family.
[k]

＠Sion
Zepia, the current head of the Eltnam family, gave its custodial rights to his daughter on her eighth birthday...
[k]

＠Sion
...and until she turned nine, she focused on tuning it up and expanding its capabilities.
[k]

＠Sion
After that, the Paper Moon was given to Chaldea in accordance with the Atlas Contract.
[k]

＠Sion
So of course, it only made sense for me to continue maintaining it after we joined forces.
[k]

[charaFace B 7]

＠Sion
However, the Paper Moon is ultimately no more than a device. Its internals run only the bare minimum of software.
[k]

＠Sion
I certainly do not recall creating a world like this inside it.
[k]

[charaFace B 6]

＠Sion
However...one could also argue that conceptual worlds of which we are unaware exist in all manner of places.
[k]

＠Sion
As for the AIs, from a micro-magecraft perspective, it is possible that the self-advancing programs I installed could have evolved into artificial intelligence without me realizing it.
[k]

[charaFace B 9]

＠Sion
It is quite fascinating.
[k]


？1：So, is the fact that this world exists what keeps the Paper Moon working?
？2：So, is this world being here the reason the Paper Moon is still functioning?
？！

[charaFace B 6]

＠Sion
Conceptually speaking, yes.
[k]

＠Sion
Though it may be more accurate to say that it was fitted into the Paper Moon rather than made for it.
[k]

＠Sion
I would need an opportunity to make a more detailed examination of this world's laws before I could make a definitive determination.

They certainly do not seem trivial enough to ignore.

Running self-diagnostic program.

Performance degradation rate is currently thirty-seven percent.
[k]

＠Rani-R
Usually, we would aim for a zero percent degradation rate in order to satisfy our defined desires...

＠Rani-R
...and ensure operations continue to run smoothly. But right now, another routine is taking precedence.

Correct. Allow me to give a more complete report.
[k]

＠Rani-R
At present, a large number of my fellow Type R units nearby are under attack by more of those tentacled threats.
[k]

＠Rani-R
I would like to ask you to rescue them so as to minimize the damage to Type R units as a whole.
[k]

＠Rani-R
Would that be possible?
