Start

✦

Around fifty thousand years ago—

🔇 N/A

???

✦

... Tsk.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

I quit. I just can't beat you at this game.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Hmm, is that so?

🔇 N/A

???

✦

I think... if you want, you have a million ways to beat me, Mobius.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Such as... installing a chip for this in your brain?

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

Heh. Isn't that your favorite thing to do, Vill-V?

🔇 N/A

"Vill-V"

✦

Yeah, you're right. But on the other hand... you really hate to fail. Ironically, your Project Stigma was scrapped so many times.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

That's not my plan. It's only slow in coming because MEI was constantly altering the definition of "purging Honkai".

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

She loves definitions, doesn't she? Remember that presentation on five parallel truths? I don't think the audience understood a word she said.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

What matters is that you got it. And the Vill-V in front of you should've gotten it mostly.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

Heh. That was a plenary presentation held at the auditorium, mind you! Seeing Elvin racking his brain like he was trying to understand calculus with elementary math made me feel sorry for him.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

Why must we define Honkai? Wouldn't it be more convenient to regard it as a primitive concept and define humanity instead?

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

... Hmm? Vill-V, you didn't speak.

🔇 N/A

"Vill-V"

✦

Pff.

🔇 N/A

✦

The con-artist who could barely hold her laughter only shrugged in reply.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

I'm not trying to get people like Elvin to understand concepts such as the zeta function. Even Su needs a lot of time to gain knowledge in a new field.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

But there's one thing that should've been done then—

🔇 N/A

???

✦

That is to make everyone realize that Honkai isn't so mysterious as to be incomprehensible. It's simply too complicated.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

I believe defining Honkai... is far easier than defining humanity.

🔇 N/A

"Vill-V"

✦

Hi. Good evening, Dr. MEI.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

Good evening, Conductor.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

This smell... You two ate instant noodles for dinner again?

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

So what? Doesn't anyone in your family like instant noodles?

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

There is. But he promised me to only eat instant foods when there's no other option.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

... Tsk. Don't flex that to me. Did you come for the fifteenth revision of the plan? I just uploaded it to the server. You download it yourself.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

Mobius. Since you assumed this form... you've gotten much grumpier.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

... When did that begin to concern you? It's the ability to get things done that counts. Have you sunk to judging looks?

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

I think she needs your magic show, Vill-V.

🔇 N/A

"Vill-V"

✦

Great. I'll be sure to invite her the next time "I" perform.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

Fine, bickering is a waste of time. It's rare for us to get together—

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

So this is a good time to discuss this Project Stigma that's been revised fifteen times. Seriously, MEI...

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

... Which side are you on?

🔇 N/A

"Vill-V"

✦

Huh? Isn't she standing next to me?

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

Vill-V.

🔇 N/A

"Vill-V"

✦

Come on, that was a joke! I know your question is serious—

🔇 N/A

✦

Vill-V threw a spinning-top onto the table meaningfully.

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black, then switches to show the spinning-top on the table. >

"Vill-V"

✦

—That's why we need to ease up on it more than ever!

🔇 N/A

✦

She did not elicit a response. The top spun lonesomely on the smooth table.

🔇 N/A

✦

A long time seemed to have passed, but the top showed no sign of stopping—

🔇 N/A

✦

—Until MEI pressed it to a stop. This made Mobius realize that only a few seconds had eclipsed.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

Mobius, I only stand with civilization.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

Hmph, a cliché to shut those old farts up? I'd hate to stress something as stupid as "I'm your senior"...

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

But now that we're touching this topic... Dr. MEI, you're obligated to explain what you want to achieve with this plan.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

... I see. In your opinion, I'm obsessed with Project Stigma.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

Listen to yourself! You've forced me to revise the plan fifteen times! Fifteen times!

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

As the solution with the highest success rate, it deserves to be taken seriously. We can never have too many entry points in the future, either.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

Oh, really? That popular Project Ember hasn't even been written into a one-page plan.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

You know the attributes of that plan dictate that we implement it more specially.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

Perhaps. But how can I not suspect that the other projects are only a foil to Project Stigma when they are treated so differently?

🔇 N/A

"Vill-V"

✦

Um. There's one thing I don't understand. Even if that's true... isn't it you who proposed Project Stigma, Mobius?

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

I didn't imagine someone would see it as our only hope.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

It does sound ridiculous to you. I completely understand that. After all, there are many ways to redefine humanity.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

But Dr. Mobius... Humanity is only the cornerstone of civilization.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

I don't think you'll deny that humans are essentially more intelligent survival machines. We aren't fundamentally different from plants, animals, or microbes.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

Heh. To be more precise, our mortal bodies are but vessels that our genes built for themselves.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

So what? Whether it's genetics or samsara, everyone has the potential to defy the Creator.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

Civilization? Compared to the miracles created by specific humans, is that thing even important?

🔇 N/A

"Vill-V"

✦

But objectively speaking... the vast majority of humans can realize their potential.

🔇 N/A

"Vill-V"

✦

It'd be arrogant to measure all humans by a special case such as yourself, Dr. Mobius...

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

Dr. Mobius. As members of the MOTHs, you and I are ultimately responsible for the whole of civilization.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

In that sense, compared to the life of an individual, the truth brought forth by life is a more essential existence.

🔇 N/A

"Vill-V"

✦

In other words... Vill-V's talent is more important than Vill-V's identity?

🔇 N/A

"Vill-V"

✦

Ah, you can say that.

🔇 N/A

Mobius

✦

That's you. I don't plan on making another Mobius to replace myself.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

... That's not important.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

Think about the relationship between children and parents, Dr. Mobius. Regardless of whether the inner worlds of two generations coincide, human civilization is continued by the next generation.

🔇 N/A

MEI

✦

Regardless of whether their parents like it.

🔇 N/A
