Kai cleared away the last traces of the ritual after sending back the mass-produced daggers to Meg and Spawn.
This way, they wouldn't have to worry about being short of sacrificial Items for contacting him. The only issue was that Kai couldn't use his minor-epithets to reach them from his end and had to use Hastur's epithets instead.
I wish I didn't have to go such a roundabout way to contact them, Kai thought, putting back the half-melted candle. Hmm, a place where we can gather and discuss in person...
Kai didn't dwell on this thought too much. His mind was stuffed with more important things right now. Darcie had only spent 4 hours in the last two days in the library. It wasn't nearly enough for Kai to read even all the books on the SCHOOL shelf, but more than enough for him to remember the contents of one of them.
Magical Theory by Adalbert Waffling, Kai remembered the name, his eyes squinting. It had been hard to stay away from the rest of the books, but it wasn't in his nature to just dive into the magic without knowing the theory behind it if he could learn it.
This won't do, Kai reflected. I must spend as much time as possible in the library.
But first, he needed to tackle an even more drastic thing.
Kai took out the Book and used the Primordial Theater to call out Rintaro Okabe.
After his breakdown during the last Identity Period, Kai had ordered the insane scientist to think of a solution to his problem. He couldn't think about these things while acting as Darcie, so the responsibility fell on his soulless characters.
