[There's a playful smile on Matoba's lips. Ah, he'd just met that man. I'm just going to wave my hands and say the timing lines up because I can.] What interesting talents he hides.....
[And an alchemist. Matoba has never met or dabbled in such arts, but that sounded like a useful skillset around here.]
In any case, I would like to collect more evidence before going around shouting about it. It's possible that the author-- [Because it's definitely not him :)] --may be a resident of this island, no? It would be dangerous to let on that we have discovered such plans.
[At least, he thinks, but he doesn't really know the status of the rest of this island's population...]
( listen, sometimes you send a girl off to find a kid to read something for you and in the time she's gone you bug a beautiful man into feeding you in like. 10 minutes, we don't judge a good hustle here.
aoi listens and though she tries very hard to keep up that good, mature girl facade, it's hard to hide how her shoulders fall and the brief moment of resignation on her face. she's always hated secrets and lies... )
... I guess... --Oh, um. Barnaby Brooks Jr. and his partner may be able to help as well. They're... professional superheroes, where they're from?
[Matoba works quickly!! Or maybe Hamtaro was very hard to find. Who can say.]
[It's no surprise that Aoi seems less comfortable with keeping this between them, but Matoba think he has the upper hand when it came to... persuasion. Intimidation wasn't below him.]
[But for now, it seems that he wouldn't need to be too heavy-handed.]
"Professional superheroes"? This place attracts all sorts. [Matoba smiles, seemingly amused. But just what would "professional superheroes" entail? Perhaps that sort of strength would be useful sometime.] I wonder if there are any science-minded individuals who would have some insight into these apparent experiments? That alchemist, perhaps?
If you are able to broach the subject with them, perhaps that would be our best lead. I still have much to learn about this place... But once I am caught up on things, I would like to borrow your ear again. Is that alright with you, Aoi-san?
Albedo-san, yes... I believe Hiyori-sensei could possibly be interested, but I'm not sure. I know he's a surgeon, however.
( hiyori would offer an understanding of people that most don't have casually... and also he wants to study her, but like? she's not going to just say that. but she can do that, yes- tell them about what they've found. if matoba has any objections to her suggestions, he has his time to say so.
aoi looks over to matoba again before nodding quietly. )
