Ares signaled Emma to follow after Jack.
She nodded.
The meeting hall was plunged into silence.
Ares broke the stillness with his words.
"We can't fight Typhaon until we are completely prepared."
He looked at Neo in the eye.
"Now that you know about our choice, we need to hear yours. Do you still want to save the Child of Mana?" he asked.
"Why do you want to know about it?"
"It should be obvious."
Neo pursed his lips and the gears in his minds churned.
'We will become rebels if we go against their decision and try to rescue the Child of Mana,' he thought. 'They will do whatever it takes to stop us.'
'Well, I tried my best to convince them. This much should be enough.'
Neo opened his mouth.
"Can I give my answer tomorrow?" he asked, trying to buy time, since lying was useless due to Iapteus' lie detection.
"Why not now?"
