Accompanying Shajina and the others to Ice Blade City was merely incidental. Our true mission here is to find the Imperial Commander of the Old Empire, Audemus, who is gradually awakening. Normally speaking, as a military officer, Audemus should seek out his Emperor to report after awakening, rather than us personally going to receive him. But I'm bored anyway, and when the Mother Star facilities are operating automatically, I always look for something to do. Moreover, Audemus isn't fully awake yet, and he can't leave the Northern Icefield for now. To start the upcoming work as soon as possible, I naturally don't mind making the trip myself—though the main reason is, well… I'm just bored stiff.
