Reality Rift
"Damn it…" Furuwa cursed, gritting her teeth.
"So that's the Creator, huh?" I muttered.
"No… it's probably a replica of him, or some sort of prerecorded automated message," Hina-nee argued. "The beginning of the message did say 'artifical intelligence activated'."
"True…"
"Hey, the two of you, are you not worried about this at all?" Furuwa asked in a panic. "Frustration evident on her face."
"Calm down. Didn't you say you were cool-headed, superior to me?" I snorted. "Sure as hell not acting like it."
"…!" Furuwa, realizing her own mistake, looked down and reluctantly apologized. "… Sorry. I just… panicked there."
I cleared my throat. "Anyway… he said we needed to find the core of this reality rift, right? Most of the time, the 'core' of something is at the center. I suggest we head there first."
"The center… that should be straight up ahead, considering that's where the orb was marked on the map," Hina-nee said.
