"I see… So you told us that story to weaken our will to fight in this situation? Quite a clever tactic," Inglis remarked.
Rafinha, Leone, and Liselotte were all kind-hearted. Hearing about the mana essence from Über had naturally shaken them deeply.
The greater the shock, the more likely they would hesitate, thinking that leaving things as they were might prevent the creation of more mana essence.
As a result, they would act according to Über’s wishes, unknowingly playing into the hands of someone who didn’t want to be hindered. Regardless of the moral implications, Über had skillfully manipulated his opponents.
"…I didn’t intend to manipulate your goodwill. I only thought it unfortunate for you to remain ignorant of the truth, so I shared it."
"If we were to be cynical, it’s very possible that everything you told us is a lie."
They hadn’t fully verified the truth behind the story of the mana essence. Though it was probably accurate, it was difficult to believe that Über had shared it out of pure kindness.
"In that case… shall I offer you some proof?" Über said, his gaze shifting to the right from Inglis’ perspective, toward the area where the grand workshop and the dock for flying warships were located.
