Point of No Return

While they would have eventually made their way into the city and invaded it, my plan was to use them only as a distraction. I realized that it would be difficult to escape undetected, with so many factors at play. 

Even without counting on Akihara or Vey, it would be complicated, as my little platinum ticket is more important than I thought.

Even at this point, the more I investigated, both my main self, and number two, the more we realized that the lord of the city, although not directly involved in the war, had a considerable force under his command. 

He was careful about the matter of my little platinum ticket, to the point of even putting it under Akihara's surveillance in some way. Although the latter didn't seem interested, having it under her radar was the best security. 

I still didn't understand, though even without my intervention, the humans had managed to invade the city where Akihara was.
