'All the Mana Cores Gerard has made are all White. He'll need to fill them up eventually. Then, it won't be as fast as his current pace…'
"That's good." I smiled at the excited Beast King who was happy about the prospect of growing even stronger.
Deep within him, though, I could sense another feeling welling up. It was an emotion I had been counting on to appear.
"Let us return to your people. Since I beat you in combat, I have the right to make an absolute command. You'll be Allied with the Eastern Kingdom in the looming war."
"Eastern Empire? War? What's that?"
"E-eh…?"
Just how much did Gerard know—no, the right question was how much did he not know?

I filled the ignorant Beast King in on the details regarding the current state of the world as all three of us returned to the Beast folk Kingdom.
"W-wow… I had no idea."
