Several hours have passed already, she can feel it with every cell in her body, even the Stellaron inside which has been quiet for the entire time has urged her to take a rest, but Stelle refused to! Simply because the Will of Trailblaze resides within her refuses to stop exploring Idrila's room!

But moments before she can open another locker inside the room, the Aeon of Beauty, Idrila walked in and looked at the space raccoon as if she was looking at a retard, her facial expression remained mostly exhausted and carried a hint of visible disgust of how much Stelle has violated her own privacy, but then again, she is too tired to blame her for this as she is the one to keep her here to begin with.

"Whatever... Do you need to go take a shower or something?" - Idrila asked, Stelle immediately flinched at the mention of going to a shower, sure she doesn't regularly take showers and only do so when people started to pick up the condensed smell of 340 different trash cans, but for now, as long as she get a chance to escape from her captive, she will gladly accept it. "Fine, I will untie you."

Stelle was untied shortly after, and the first thing she did was to instinctively try to whip out her baseball bat. "Rules are meant to be broken!", but nothing manifested in her hand, or rather, her baseball bat was confiscated.

"You really thought I would still leave some weapons for you to use?" - Idrila said, her expressions grew more tired as time went by. "Forget it, if you don't want to take a shower, I will just tie you back up again."

Stelle stopped resisting and actually went to take a shower instead, of course, the bathroom was like next to the room she was kept in so she didn't get that much of a chanceto roam around as she liked, let alone having any chance to establish contact with the Astral Express or with someone else.

To be honest, being washed with a warm and gentle stream of water helped her to clear up her mind, as she came to the realization of the fact that she cannot force her way out of this with her strength alone, she was defeated earlier despite being in her best state, her opponent is after all an Aeon regardless, but something felt odd about this whole encounter as she started making up some questions in her mind.

Why was Idrila looking for Akivili?

And something felt really odd about Idrila, at least the girl who kidnapped her. Idrila is said to have been fell already, while some said she vanished, how come she is here present on the same space vessel as her?

"..." - Stelle began to piece together several information at hand together and using her brain juice as a result of being trained by Dr Ratio and the experience of working alongside several Genuises... She managed to produce a theory.

She walked into the room, all washed up and changed into her extra identical set of clothes. "You are not Idrila, yet is Idrila."

"I didn't know you were a History Fictionologist." - Idrila said, the situation seemed a bit more amusing to her now. "Pray tell how did you come to the conclusion that I am not? Even though you trusted me earlier?"

"Not entirely, besides, I have concrete evidence about your true identity."

"Huh?"

"I challenge you to a debate!"

Debate start!

"You said you are Idrila, the Aeon of Beauty, correct?" - Stelle opened the session with a question that was the center of the debate, truly a fascinating move only someone like her could have come up with, let's see how will Idrila counter this.

"I sure did, however that was not all of my true identity, clearly, it was because you weren't paying any attention to my backstory the previous chapter." - Idrila retaliated, and Stelle grunted in pain because Idrila just used a super complicated yet effective counter against her, gaslighting, victim roleplaying and being mysterious. Although Stelle did really wasn't paying attention while she was talking about herself, but still, the counter proved to be extremely effective.

How will Stelle counter this counter? "Leave what happened in the past, stay in the past, Idrila! What matters now is the present!" It wasn't really effective. "But you were said to have been deceased like several others, like Long, or disappeared like Akivili."

"Partially, both assumptions are correct. And you are not wrong to assume either." - Idrila admitted Stelle's words, leaning back a bit for the space raccoon to counter. "However, the truth is still known by Idrila only."

An opening for a counter! "Why did you address yourself like that?" - Stelle asked. "You could have said 'me' instead of using your own name, or is it... You are not Idrila? But then again, it would be contradicting to what I am saying the entire time, that you are Idrila, and so I shall say that you are both not Idrila and is Idrila at the same time!"

After Stelle finished sprouting those words, she suddenly received a gaze from Mythus.

But then again, did Mythus the Aeon of Enigmata really blessed her? Or was it simply the power of Enigmata? But then again, if Mythus did really bless her, was the blessing really true?

We shall find out in the next episode. But then again, is this really the end of this chapter?

Okay okay I'll stop.

"You are getting closer to the truth." - Idrila said. "Entertain me, Nameless."

"The Knights of Beauty, your faithful followers, their blades cleave the universe clean of those abominations they deemed strayed from the definition of Beauty, are collecting your relics throughout the stars, they didn't believe you are dead, only missing. Yet the Mirror Holders on the other hand, believed otherwise and their actions so far are collecting your fragments throughout the universe." - Stelle began wording her own theory which she came up with moments earlier. "Which led me to believe... You didn't die, but yet you were shattered, alongside your Divinity and powers, into how many pieces I don't know...

But that surely must be your true identity, a fragment of Idrila."

With her theory done, Idrila, or rather, a Shard of Beauty stood in front of her smiled lightly.

"You are the first to figure out that by yourself, Nameless."

"Or, where have you been the entire time? The entire Akivili situation ran into a dead end since you disappeared a few days back." - A fellow Memokeeper voiced their concern to Or, the news reporter working for the BFF. "We have too little hands on deck, and yet too many information to cover at the same time, we are losing our standings with everyone at this rate."

"Oh well be prepared to print out more of these... Because I don't even know what is going to happen from now on too." - Or gave the Memokeeper the newly printed papers, which seemed like she had been working on these the entire time.

"This is..."

"The Marketing Development Department of the IPC is preparing something huge, on a scale that was never seen ever since Oswaldo's promotion. Celenova and Irontomb are now leading a significant size of the Legion, heading somewhere that concerns me too... They are seeking out something." - Or explained the contents that she wrote in the papers, this is one of those rare moments that the Memokeeper has expressed her concerns.

"... Wait a moment... According to the Astral Chart, aren't they heading to Melustanin?"
