I was torn away from this peerless partner on the eightieth floor of the Central Cathedral. Only Integrity Knight Alice and I were hurled out from the tower through a large hole that opened up in the wall in the midst of our fierce battle. Earnestly persuading Alice to sheath her sword and spending a night to climb that horizontal outer wall, we somehow returned into the tower at the ninety-fifth floor. Climbing the stairs in pursuit of Eugeo who should have arrived first, we chased after a peculiar man who called himself the Chief Elder Chudelkin and reached the ninety-ninth floor—a floor away from the room of the highest minister, Administrator. In that space occupied by nothing aside from the stairs proceeding onto the Chamber of Elders and the elevating disk rising towards the hundredth floor, I finally reunited with my partner. But he was no longer the unassuming youth born in the outskirts who I knew. He was the newest integrity knight, covered in armor of silvery blue, Eugeo Synthesis Thirty-two. That was my bosom friend’s new name.
