Neron's Explanation

We all watched Neron in palpable silence, waiting for him to give us an acceptable answer so he could justify himself.

Since we arrived in this world, I had spread my senses as far as they could go, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

We were currently among the stars, in space, and while Aloe, Kuzon and I could use Aether to protect ourselves, I feared that Ciara would be in trouble.

... Until I noticed that she too was using Aether.

'Huh? How...?!'

I wanted to say something, but that could wait until later.

For now, Neron was the center of attention, and I had to know what his motives were.

'I'm not particularly angry at him, though. This is just a front I am using to show my impartiality. At the very least, Kuzon won't complain about this.'

With that in mind, I narrowed my gaze at Neron. Nothing about him had changed at all, and I was honestly happy to find him well.

Hopefully, the next words that came out of his mouth would make all of this worthwhile.
