"It's over," said Vandalieu, having left the room of mirrors and arriving at the landing of the staircase.
Those equipped inside his body with Group Binding Technique emerged from within him.
"Was it alright, Vandalieu" Darcia asked.
"There were no problems, Mom," Vandalieu replied.
“Really? Even Queen Donaneris and the others said that they struggled with that trial, so I was worried, you know?"
"But even Queen Donaneris said, 'His Majesty will be fine,' didn't she?"
"But was it really fine for us to not face the challenge?" murmured Iris, who looked unhappy with the fact that she had cheated the trial by being infested by a
parasitic insect and equipped inside Vandalieu.
It seemed that with her serious personality, she felt guilty over using such a dishonest method.
"It can't be helped, can it? There's no guarantee that we would be able to overcome a conversation and a battle with ourselves," said Basdia, who had
cheated the trial in the same way but seemed unfazed by it.
Incidentally, it wasn't just these two; almost everyone had cheated the trial.
After passing through the supply area, he had equipped everyone inside his body with the exception of Legion, who couldn't be infested by parasitic insects,
and proceeded with only the Ghosts following him.
The trial was one that only those with bodies that could be reflected in the mirrors could face. Thus, those equipped inside Vandalieu did not face the trial.
