[As Yugo speaks, a scowl slowly starts to mar Qilby's carefully-maintained neutrality-- at least until he says something about stopping a whole demon army. Is he serious?
After another loud peal of laughter he lowers his voice, speaking quickly, quietly.]
What makes you think I want to stop them? Small-minded as you are, Yugo, you may not have realized this-- but the Legion's intervention is the best possible thing that could have happened to me. Defeating them now, reparing the timelines of all these worlds, resuming our old lives... [He holds back a shudder like a coiled spring inside him-- can't come so close to such an honest reaction, can he? The moment passes quickly, but despite his efforts to hide it the hesitation there is obvious.] ...Thanks to you, I know the fate in store for me there. I refuse it.
No, I don't believe I'll be wasting my time trying to fight them the way we are now. Even now, I work on a way to replicate my original Eliacube. [Saying so, he reaches over and picks up the book full of what must be his notes so far, drawing them protectively to his chest. They're no less quiet, but he practically hisses his words now.] And when I do, that is when the Legion will fall. When the time comes to return to our universe -- to return to our people -- it'll be on my terms, under my power.
[He can't help but smile at the thought.] "Savior of the Krosmoz"-- has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? I'll be sure to include it in the history books.
