There was one last thing to check before I took on the Contract.
"Are there any other preparations I can make beforehand...? There's still quite a bit of World Stability left-- oh, that's right."

Fortunately, this time shouldn't take nearly as long.
"Librarian, send me over."
"Roger that~! Commencing start of operation in threeee~! Twooo~! Oneee~~!"

Again, I would face the Protagonist.
Again, I would deceive.
And again, I would kill.
