Perhaps feeling accurately read, the girl lowered her head in silence.

A few seconds passed.

"Is that really the only reason you're here?"

She raised her head to the empty air, questioning.

"I believe you should understand, if I wanted to kill you, I could have done it just now without needing to communicate with you. It would have been a waste of time. And you should also be aware that if I had the intention, I could kill you at any time, even now..."

"Well..."

"Of course, this has nothing to do with your father. In other words, I'm not looking for you because of your father. After all, I neither have any hatred towards you nor do I want anything from you. I'm looking for you solely because of who you are, Delank Anna, nothing else."

"True... if you wanted, you could effortlessly achieve anything, given your power."

Disappearing one's own figure, since even such a thing could be done, nothing else would be difficult.

The girl understood this very well within her heart.

"Heh, it's for the best that you think that way."

"If that's the case, then you must have another motive, right? After all... no matter how I think about it, I can't understand the reason why you are so insistent on helping me, or are you just a do-gooder? But I'm probably overthinking this."

Faced with the slightly sarcastic soliloquy of the girl, the other party just chuckled.

"Heh, your cleverness is truly helpful. This way, it saves me a lot of trouble."

"And what is your reason..."

The girl further inquired.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you that. But rest assured, I won't harm you. That much I can guarantee. And ultimately, our goals are the same."

"The same?"

"Of course, I don't mean that your desire and my goal are the same."

"Naturally, but..."

"No need to say it, I can't say that either. I can only tell you that if you want to achieve your desire, you must follow my instructions."

"Meaning, your purpose is not only related to my desire, but also to your instructions? So that's why you said earlier that my desire and your goal are the same?"

"Heh, you're even smarter than I thought."

The other party admitted candidly.

"In that case, it's not just me asking for your help, because your position is the same as mine."

"Correct, if I want to achieve my goal, I need your help. And if you want to fulfill your desire, you must have my assistance. In short, we are people on the same boat, our interests are aligned."

"Aren't you afraid that I might refuse?"

Although the girl's words sounded like a threat, the other party remained quite relaxed.

"Heh, of course, whether you accept it or not is up to you. I won't use force to push you, as it doesn't fit my style. But I know, you will definitely accept."

"Why?"

"Because you understand very well that if you continue as is, your desire cannot be fulfilled."

"...But what makes you think I should believe you? Although you are indeed powerful, that alone isn't a reason for me to trust you."

"That's true... to you, I'm just a stranger, no, not even a stranger, simply an existence unknown to you, isn't it too difficult for you to believe in me?"

"Since you understand that... do you know for sure that I will agree?"

As she spoke, the girl involuntarily tightened her gaze.
