As days went by, Ivan repaired the defensive barrier while keeping an eye on Christian's actions, watching him research the Ant Beings Sacred Altar.
That night, the Twin Towers had an unexpected visitor.
"Sorcerer Ivan, I hope you'll forgive my presumptuous visit."
"Presumptuous? There's no need for that, Sorceress Andaya. I couldn't be more pleased by your arrival."
Ivan always adhered to the principle of reciprocating kindness with even greater kindness. He welcomed Andaya to the living room, where they took their seats opposite each other.
He mulled over the reason for her visit—had she discovered that she was being watched?
"Sorcerer Ivan, how is the progress of the repair work?"
"We haven't encountered any significant difficulties so far, and I estimate that we will be able to restore 23 bundles of runes before long."
"I heard you've also included Sorcerer Randall in the repair work?"
