Book 2 Epilogue
[Search Engine] Self Analysis [Absolute NOAH]
I will now submit the likely effects that the Bright Cross Disaster Prevention Foundation’s destruction will have on our plan.
The primary report is as follows:
The charitable projects in central Africa will be stalled and that area will experience severe water shortages.
In Europe, the VIPs who see themselves as men of character are being harshly criticized by the people. A list has been released of the wealthy who donated large sums to the Bright Cross. More than just burning down their villas, several cities are filled with rioters surrounding their residences.
In the United States, the contact points for authorization of new drugs have been lost, so businesses are being influenced negatively and a medical panic has begun. By tomorrow, the number of corporations declaring bankruptcy will likely reach the double digits.
In Central and South America, the cartels have grown more active. This is thought to be due to people of various classes ignoring the hierarchy and purchasing the cartels’ “merchandise” in order to escape from reality.
In Asia, several new religions have formed. They seem to effectively function as matching groups that help recruit people to suicide cults.
(See the attached file for details.)
We were always planning to dismantle the Bright Cross Disaster Prevention Foundation when the timing was right. And in addition to their primary purpose, they performed actual charitable work as cover while they expanded their control around the world. However, this cover grew more than expected and far too many people became dependent on it, so we had delayed dismantling them even when the planned day arrived. And once that day had passed, the Bright Cross Disaster Prevention Foundation forgot all about achieving proper “results” and instead transformed into a disordered group that simply killed Archenemies. If it had been allowed to continue, it would have afflicted the world like terminal cancer.
The blow made primarily by Amatsu Satori played a role in safely breaking that stagnant deadlocked situation. For Absolute NOAH, it has even been suggested that we should consider this a good thing because none of the official members had to directly dirty our hands.
(See the attached file for the exact numbers.)
Also, this chaos has brought anxiety and fear to many people while also destabilizing the world as a whole. This will prevent the people from making decisions on their own and lead them to rely on others for that role, so that only works to our advantage. In other words, the day has come when a highly charismatic leader is sought. We hope that leader will be aligned with the interests of the official members who have joined Absolute NOAH.
And this charismatic leader who will be relied on by many in times of turmoil need not be human. The people desire an obvious miracle above all else, so a superhuman Archenemy would fill that role nicely. But there is no real need for it to be an Archenemy either.
Think of an Oni’s hand, a Kappa’s mummy, a Unicorn’s horn, Alraune root, a photo of a Youkai, etc. If you cut off and preserve a portion of an Archenemy, a certain charisma will reside in that object. Just like a magic wand that can take hold of the people’s hearts just by waving it around a little.
This turn of events was sudden, but I strongly recommend we use this chaos to end Absolute NOAH’s hidden period and advance to the next phase.
(See the attached file for simulation information.)
There are two causes for concern related to this:
1. There is a high probability that Amatsu Satori, the primary player in this sudden turn of events, has acquired Laplace. Based on the evidence, he likely divided it into smaller pieces and I doubt it can match its original specs, but he has already proven himself capable of taking on the Bright Cross Disaster Prevention Foundation with only Maxwell, the disaster environment simulator he built himself. I recommend we form another task to focus on calculating out the effects of him acquiring Laplace, even if just in part.
2. Valkyrie Karen. The evidence confirms that she was killed, but Karen was a very unique type of Archenemy and it would be best to assume she has not been entirely removed from the stage just because she was killed once. There is a story of a Valkyrie being reincarnated thrice while challenging her destiny of death in order to be with the man she had feelings for. We must keep that blue Valkyrie in mind as well.
If Amatsu Satori maintains a connection to both Laplace and Karen, we cannot ignore the effects it will have on our plan concerning Absolute NOAH.
A vampire, a zombie, a mermaid, a Leanan Sídhe, a dark elf, a blue Valkyrie, and a Circe witch. Not only has he directly contacted all of those Archenemies, but all of those freed from the disaster prevention foundation’s cages might view Amatsu Satori as a hero. In that case, a great faction may form around that boy.
Given Amatsu Satori’s nature, it would be difficult to invite him to join us when we use the necessary Archenemies as “materials”. Even if he is your son, I strongly recommend making a decision about him sooner rather than later.
We can still respond in time if we act now.
(The following message was hand-written with a fountain pen and accompanied by a rouge kiss mark.)
50 points. If you’re going to do this, feel free to try. But that boy will not make it easy for you.
I’m sure he will do even more to stir up this stagnation.
