Chapter 55: Black Death (2)
Prevention was the best way to stop a plague apocalypse. Stopping the source of contagion and making sure there were absolutely no outbreaks.
With the Black Death episode having begun, it was near-impossible to block the source of the infection route. That was a fixed setting of the game, a transcendent law that couldn’t be influenced by human will.
But if the initial number of outbreaks could be controlled and buy some response time, it’d exponentially increase the chances of clearing the Trial perfectly. Vermel opened the door to the Transmutation Club to make the remedy that would rid the intermediate hosts of this world’s version of Black Death.
“Huh?”
And found Aether and Freyr already inside.
What are they doing here?
Originally, Aether basically vanished from the main story as soon as the Flare episode ended. She shouldn’t be randomly showing up where a player was going.
“What are you guys doing?”
“Hobby.”
“You make scrolls as a hobby...?”
“So what? I’ve paid my tuition so I’m engaging in a hobby at the club.”
