Upon hearing this, the young girl seemed to have guessed something.

"Yes, Miss, you are right. Speaking of the process, it refers to the research data generated during the implementation of the plan."

"In that case, the person in question initially only wanted the research data. But even so, there was no need to involve others, right?"

The young girl quickly found a loophole.

"That's a valid point. Since it's research data, it could certainly be done by oneself. However, if we look at the difference between the two actions, we can easily see why that person went through such trouble."

"Difference?"

"There are two main reasons. One is that he indeed needed assistance, meaning that he didn't have many companions. Although he was not fighting alone, it's safe to assume that very few people knew about his main plan."

"So, he took the risk of making others aware of his activities?"

"Yes, and it was also understood that the main plan was quite significant, even more significant than the PC plan. And..."

The butler paused, but the young girl understood his implication.

"It's even more dangerous, right?"

"Yes, a plan that is considered insignificant can threaten this country, so the main plan is most likely..."

"It could jeopardize the world, even disrupt the current global balance of power, and the worst-case scenario would be to trigger another world war, like the one three years ago."

The young girl had a melancholic expression.

"Miss should remember, right? The second world war three years ago."

"...Of course, after all, it had been a thousand years since the first world war in human history. And yet, it happened during our generation. How could such a thing be so easily forgotten? And also, the night two years ago..."

Somehow, the young girl stopped again while speaking.

Although she didn't explicitly say it, the butler understood. After all, he had been a butler in that household for so long, he knew what had happened two years ago, even if he wasn't present at the scene.

Thinking that everything had changed since that time, but as a butler, he couldn't let himself dwell in sorrow. So, the butler quickly redirected the young girl's attention.

"Besides, there is another crucial reason."

"Another reason?"

It seemed that the butler successfully redirected her attention, so he returned to the main topic.

"Yes, it's likely that their plan is facing difficulties right now."

"Difficulties?"

"Yes, you know how it often is. It's hard to spot the mistakes you make yourself, but they are easily discovered when checked by others."

"Meaning their main plan encountered difficulties, so they thought they might gain some inspiration from the research data of the PC plan."

"Yes, but on the flip side, although we can't fully understand their main plan right now, it's certain that it is closely related to the PC plan or has some connection."

"That makes sense, considering it's a relationship where inspiration could be derived from it."

The young girl said as she casually smoothed her lavender-like long hair, and then...

"This is also..."

The young girl stopped speaking, seemingly unsure why.

"Just as Miss thought, this is all the conclusion of the Master. I, as a humble servant, could never reach such a level of understanding."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the girl spoke again.

"So, what should we do now...?"

"Yes, today's events have had a significant impact on the original PC plan. With the PC plan already exposed, the person's only objective now is to retrieve the research data. And the influence of the boy is something that person probably hadn't considered. So, that person is definitely in a hurry to get the research data back. Therefore, now is the best time to catch that person."

"I see."

At this point, everything should have been said. However, the girl unexpectedly threw a question.

"Then... does that person know about all this?"

A rather puzzling question, but the butler understood the girl's thoughts very well. Even if the girl didn't explicitly say it, the butler understood the meaning.

To this, the butler could only give an honest answer.

"I cannot say for sure. After all, I do not possess the same level of strategy as the master. And that boy never plays by the rules. His perceptiveness and analytical skills far surpass those of ordinary people. It is impossible to accurately estimate him as an individual or predict his actions."

"I see."

Although the butler couldn't make a definitive statement, he was curious about why the girl asked. So...

"In that case, how does the young miss judge this? Does the boy actually know?"

Faced with the butler's question, the girl remembered something someone had said and smiled knowingly, gazing at the rooftop of a certain research institute.

"Who knows...!"
