A.R.X.A. fell silent faced with my words, the image of her robotic face not moving a millimeter.
"The silence means I'm right, huh?" I smirked smugly in triumph.
"W-Wait, Kaze-kun… so you're saying there is someone beyond A.R.X.A., controlling her?" Hina-nee asked in shock. "But… isn't A.R.X.A. akin to a god?"
I smiled. "Sure… but if A.R.X.A. is a god, then whoever is controlling her is a god among gods. The ultimate sovereign of all, basically."
"Wow…"
[Human. It seems I have lost this time.] A.R.X.A. interjected suddenly.
My eyes widened a bit. "You actually admitted your defeat? I wasn't expecting that."
[This is the second time I have ever been defeated since the beginning of time.]
Hina-nee tilted her head. "Second? What was the first then?"
[… That is not for you to know.]
"So? What are you going to do about it? Just quietly and meekly accept your loss? Even if you annihilated the world itself, I wouldn't believe that," I said, raising an eyebrow in skepticism.
