[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 18] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Sion Second, he, of all people, never once even attempted to contemplate what the Foreign God wants. [k] ＠Sion He did not think about it because he did not know, but rather because he MUST not know. [k] ＠Sion A detective who was supposed to reveal the truth was lying about who he himself was. [k] ＠Sion I cannot speak to how difficult that decision was for Holmes to make... [k] [charaFace C 11] ＠Sion ...but his reasons for making it were abundantly clear. [k] ＠Sion “If I pursue the answer to this question, I will be destroyed.” “For Chaldea's sake, I must not think about this any further.” [k] ＠Sion That was the best, if not the only, way he had to walk that line. [k] [charaFace C 7] ＠Sion He may have technically been the Foreign God's Disciple, but forgetting that allowed him to be Chaldea's friend and ally. [k] [charaFace C 11] ＠Sion And that remained true till the very end. [k] ＠Sion As soon as he realized the truth of who he was, he chose to throw himself over the falls, so he would not become our enemy. [k] [charaFace C 10] ＠Sion Of course, that still leaves one other question: [k] ＠Sion When the Foreign God first summoned Holmes, why did a Heroic Spirit of his caliber agree to be her disciple in the first place? [k] ＠Sion I am still not quite sure of the answer to that myself... [k] [charaFace C 11] ＠Sion Still, the fact remains that he had no choice but to erase his own memories and disappear before he learned the truth about himself. [k] ＠Sion At least, so long as he planned on remaining Novum Chaldea's friend. [k] [charaFace C 9] ＠Sion Anyway, that is the extent of what I was able to figure out. Are you satisfied now, Kadoc Zemlupus? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Kadoc ...So you couldn't trust him as Holmes the Detective, but you did trust him as Chaldea's ally. [k] ＠Kadoc Well, if you know all that, do you know what his goal was, too? [k] ＠Kadoc If Holmes was one of the Foreign God's Disciples, then why did he originally make contact with Chaldea? [k] ＠Kadoc What was it the Foreign God wanted him to do? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk M] [charaFace M 12] [charaFadein M 0.1 1] ＠M：Sion Why, to help Chaldea, of course.

[k] ＠Sion As the Foreign God's Disciple, his job was to help Chaldea fight the Lostbelts. [k] ＠Sion That is why the Foreign God did not get rid of him herself; he was doing the job she gave him. [k] [charaFace C 9] ＠Sion But once the young Professor Moriarty was chosen to be a Disciple, Holmes's days were numbered. [k] ＠Sion My guess is the Foreign God's command was something along the lines of: [k] ＠Sion “Help Chaldea until they reach point A, then from point B onward, you are forbidden to help them further.” [k] ＠Sion In this case, point A was probably the Fifth Lostbelt, and point B was everything that came after. [k] ＠Sion Or, alternatively, it may have been something like: [k] ＠Sion “Once Chaldea passes point A, destroy them from within.” [k] [charaFace C 18] ＠Sion Either way, that time finally came... [k] ＠Sion ...and he had to choose between Holmes the Disciple and Holmes the administrative advisor to Chaldea. [k] ＠Sion Ultimately, he went over the falls. He chose to remain Chaldea's administrative advisor.

[k] [charaFace C 13] ＠Sion So that is both the biggest unanswered question, as well as a hint to the Foreign God's true nature. [k] ＠Sion Holmes must have had no choice but to exit stage left, so to speak. He knew that, even as Chaldea's administrative advisor...

[k] ＠Kadoc To put it in terms even you would understand, it's sort of a ghost story of the mage world. [k] ＠Kadoc ORT is said to be a monster from outer space that came to South America before the A.D. era began. They say it kills anyone who even gets close to it in an instant. [k] ＠Kadoc No mage has ever entered its territory and lived to tell the tale. [k] ＠Kadoc And yet, for some reason[line 2]maybe they decided it was too dangerous to be left to its own devices, or perhaps just out of pure academic curiosity... [k] ＠Kadoc ...a Grand mage and six Brand mages decided to raid its territory in South America back in the sixteenth century. [k] ＠Kadoc Oh, in case you don't know, a Grand mage is the very best of the magecraft world. They're monsters, powerful enough to single-handedly rival the might of entire nations. [k] ＠Kadoc Brand mages are one level below Grand, but they're still incredibly talented geniuses who are nearly as strong as Grand mages. [k] ＠Kadoc So getting seven incredibly powerful mages together for a single expedition was something that had just never been seen before. [k] ＠Kadoc In fact, they say the mood at their campsite before they set out wasn't too far off from a festival. [k] ＠Kadoc But ultimately...only one mage made it back alive. [k] ＠Kadoc “You must not go near that thing yet. There is nothing alive on Earth right now that can match it.” [k] ＠Kadoc “Wait for the next era. Let us entrust our hopes to the creatures, whatever they may be, which evolve after our extinction.” [k] ＠Kadoc After he spoke those words, he turned into crystal right before the eyes of everyone who gathered to hear him. [k] ＠Kadoc That mage's name was Astea. He was one of the Twelve Lords of the Clock Tower at the time. [k] ＠Kadoc The incident is what prompted the dean of the Mage's Association and Clock Tower to dub the monster “ORT.” [k] ＠Kadoc And ever since, that particular region in South America has been known to be off-limits to all of humankind. [k] [charaFace B 6] ＠Kadoc ...Though at least, in the pissant mage family I grew up in, this was all just a tall tale. [k] ＠Kadoc If Goredolf's reaction is anything to go by, the nobles must have been taught that story as fact, though. [k] ＠Kadoc A fact scary enough they apparently used it to threaten kids into behaving.

It slumbers deep beneath South America.” [k] ＠Goredolf “So we must make sure to leave it alone.
