'I'm not going to be the one to get surprised this time, big brother~!'
Anna had secured the fort.
She had bought off Celes so Eon wasn't going to know where she was or what she had done in their house.
She had stationed all thirty three Povpoi including Mave in various areas of the house and was using a unique telepathic connection produced with the help of their fairy friend to interact with all of them.
She had Mr. Rice with her, and she was using the concealing shield of Mr. Rice in order to hide from her big brother.
He had this tendency to surprise her every time he got back, but unlike previous times, she knew he wasn't going to come through their Warp gate this time and was instead coming in a Carriage that their mom had sent to pick them up.
He wasn't going to have Celes' support and even if Celes tells him about their plan, Anna was ready with all kinds of tricks this time.
