We're quick!
We're strong!
We don't let our prey escape!
We're...
Hawk's Eye!
Our turn.
Be careful.
Be still a moment.
Stand back, Sfalu!
What happened to your energy from before?!
Have you grown frightened of our strength?
This is enough, right?
It seems to have lost the will to fight.
Man, that was nothing!
I was scared of how strong it might be when I heard the scouting party was struggling.
We're strong.
We shouldn't let our guards down.
Alright, let's go!
We've almost reached the top!
Right!
Bring it on!
We're incredible!
For how long must I repeat this farce?

Just a little further to the top.
We'll soon see Libra...
Everyone, stand back.
Huh?
Oh!
Wh-What is that?!
You're still here?
I'm surprised the scouting party managed to get past this one.
I imagine several people sacrificed their lives to let the rest push onward.

When you're not twice something's level,
non-allies' Status becomes partially hidden.
So that means it's not being treated as my possession.
Ahh! Look out!
That one's far worse than the others we've fought so far!
Please, wait!
But...
I think she has some kind of plan.
Do you recognize us, Gatekeeper?
Approaching intruder detected.
Proceeding to eliminate.
Sfalu!
You'll die!
Eliminating intruders.
Welcome home.
Lady Lufas...
welcome home.
Welcome home.
Lady Lufas, welcome home.
Your loyalty has served us well.
We thank you for your efforts.
Now rest in peace.
You all should remain here.
Are you planning to go up there alone?!
That's impossible!
There's no way!
No, none but we can withstand Libra's Brachium.
You all would be sent flying over thirty times and then some.
What are you, really?
I may be an idiot,
but I'm not so dumb that I couldn't recognize your exceptional strength after all this time.
Since partway through
you've been supporting us so we didn't get killed,
and you just took that golem's punch without flinching.
To top it off, you also keep talking like you know Libra.
So what are you?
We shall not deign to give you a response.
We'll be waiting here since we can't withstand Brachium.
I wish you luck, Mistress Sfalu.
It's a shame I can't go with you.
We shall return.
I don't understand.
It was just a simple golem,
but I'm excessively shaken.
It would be one thing for the real Lufas to feel this,
but I shouldn't be.
I don't have any reason to harbor sadness over it.
How can this be?
There's something wrong with me.
Intruder detected.
Warning.
I advise you to leave this space within ten seconds.
If you fail to comply
or take hostile action,
then I'll use force—
I'll use force to eliminate you.
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six. Five. Four.
It's been a long time, Libra.
Master Lufas?
What's the matter?
You look like a deer in headlights.
Have you forgotten our face?
Verifying...
Biological data matches.
Chance that you are the real Lufas Maphaahl is 99.9998%.
Assessing situation...
Chances of surviving such a battle are under 1%...
Overall probability...
Conclusion impossible...
Impossible...
C-Conclusion, con, co...
Enough. Don't force yourself to think about it.
Conclusion... impossible, impossible...
We're approaching to administer repairs.
Impossible, impossible...
You need rest.
Warning!
Should you approach even one step closer,
that will become cause for elimination.
It matters not.
And now, we've moved.
Aren't you going to try and stop me?
One of the Conquering Twelve Heavenly Stars,
Libra of the Scales,
shall eliminate you by force!
We're done playing tag.
Program selection.
Here it comes.
It ignores all defensive skills,
with a guaranteed hit that deals 99,999 fixed damage.
It's my first time taking major damage since coming to this world.
Activating Brachium!
Shit, this hurts!
And it's hot!
I can feel my HP dropping at an incredible rate.
Still...
This is nothing I can't withstand!
At last, we've finally reached you.
All Repair.
We apologize for the delay.
We've come back for you, Libra.
Conclusion reached.
The chance that you are Master Lufas is 100%.
I have verified that you are Master Lufas.
Now terminating my mission to guard the grave.
It's a good thing that Libra has calmed down,
but how am I supposed to explain this to Jean and his group?!
Oh, Lady Lufas!
Welcome back.
I see you were able to safely retrieve Lady Libra.
Y-Yeah.
Dina, what happened to the others?
Oh, it would have be an issue if they talked,
so I left a little suggestion in them.
Suggestion?
I just used memory manipulation to plant some false memories.
I made it so that they never met us in the first place!
I also made it so they believe that they conquered the grave,
so that should keep attention off of us for a while!
That's right, she was able to manipulate memories...
I left them believing that Lady Libra was already greatly damaged when they arrived.
That should be convincing enough!
Were you planning this from the start when you brought them along?
What other reason would justify bringing such hindrances?
You're a terrifying woman.
I'll gladly become a demon for your sake, Mistress Lufas!
That's just who I am!
We're glad you're on our side.
They were a loud bunch,
but they were good people.
Alright, let's go to the top floor.
Yes!
Y-Yes!
It's amazing!
It's truly a mountain of treasure!
I-It's so shiny!
Mistress Lufas, please settle down.
We are calm.
We are calm, but we can't seem to settle.
What's going on here?
Oh, you always did love shiny things,
so you often collected them.
Say what?!
I don't recall making that part of her background!
For now, let's retrieve the weapons we'll need before Mistress Lufas goes crazy.
Alright.
Dina, how can you say we'll go crazy?
We understand what is necessary and what is not.
Then could you put back those completely useless golden objects you're carrying?
When did we?!
Sir Aries, Mistress Lufas has devolved into a simple crow,
so let's pick out what we'll truly need!
I'm on it!
Mistress Lufas!
That's just an item used in rituals!
Oh, right.
Mistress Lufas!
That's just a decoration that glows!
Oh, right.
Mistress Lufas!
Please just sit down.
Oh, right.
This should do for now.
The rest seem to be weapons Mistress Lufas used in the past,
but you don't use them anymore, right?
Yes, most likely.
What about the golems?
Oh, I'll send those to the Tower of Maphaahl with Exgate as well.
Mistress Lufas, could you gather up all the golems that weren't defeated?
I'll transport them along with these weapons.
It shall be done.
It will prevent any further harm to others.
Hmm? All of them?
We gathered them all!
Absolutely ridiculous!
Who the hell built this stupidly huge grave?!
Exgate!
How convenient!
That does it.
Now, let's take our leave.
Is it okay to leave Jean's group here?
Don't worry, it won't be an issue!
We did it!
I can't believe we actually conquered the grave!
Yeah!
We'll be heroes when we return!
Shucks!
We're quick!
We're strong!
We don't let our prey escape!
We're...
Hawk's Eye!
All done.
Both her body and clothes are sparkling clean now.
Wake up, Libra.
Vision clear.
System check, zero errors detected.
Activating.
Good morning, my master, Master Lufas.
Wonderful.
Does anything feel off with your body?
There are no issues.
I am grateful for your concern.

Good.
It has been a long time, Aries.
I see your appearance still does not match your sexual features.
Wha?!
That's the first thing you say after two hundred years?!
Nice to meet you, unfamiliar lady.
Wha?!
Please allow me to apologize for the trouble I have caused you.
This again?!
Libra.
This is Dina, our advisor.
She may be easy to overlook,
but she was with us two hundred years ago too.
What did you say?!
You mean she possesses such stealth that she doesn't exist in my memory?!
Even I'm not that easy to overlook!
I'm going to cry, you know!
Come on!
It's me, me!
Look closely!
Are you sure I'm not in your memory system?
No. There is no corresponding file in my memory.
Gah!
However...
Hmm?
I have discovered a portion of data that was damaged from years of deterioration.
I predict it is most likely the record of Lady Dina was stored there.
It will require several months to repair,
but recovery is possible.
Until then, I shall provisionally
remember Lady Dina as an advisor.
Provisionally?!
It's still hard for me to grasp what she's thinking due to her lack of expression.
Well, she is a golem.
Yes...
But she spent all this time...
So it's fine.
I won't question her loyalty at this point.
Libra, we're currently on a journey to retrieve the Twelve Heavenly Stars,
and you are the second one.
We want you to come with us
and use your power to aid to us.
That is your new mission.
Master Lufas.
I, Libra of the Scales, swear my unchanging loyalty to you, Master Lufas.
I shall join you on your journey, Master Lufas.
As lacking as I may be, I look forward to accompanying you.
Yes, we look forward to having you.
Libra Has Joined Your Party
Libra, do you know anything about the remaining Twelve Heavenly Stars?
My apologies.
I was always stationed in defense of the grave,
so I lack information about the rest of the world.
Hmm...
Dina?
Yes!
If you travel roughly 2,000km west of here,
there's a small village at the base of the mountains
that Parthenos the Maiden created and secretly lives in.
A village?
Yes!
She erected a barrier to protect powerless monsters and plants from enemies,
allowing them to live in isolation from the rest of the world.
That's incredibly respectable!
How wonderful that she took initiative and didn't cause issues for others!
But, well...
That mountain is your homeland,
but she's driven out all of the heaven-winged that originally lived there,
creating an uninhabited sanctuary
all under her control.
I take back my previous statement!
She screwed up after all!
You could have just quietly awaited our arrival,
Parthenos the Maiden.
