"As immature as ever," C.C. said, affirming Cornelia's impression with that tone of voice. An errant spoiled child, and the mother trying to pick up after the pieces. That was the impression these two were giving. "Mao. I will be waiting for you at Clovisland. Leave them alone, and let's go to a place where nobody's around. Just you and me."

"Of course! I'll be there as soon as I can. Wait for me, C.C.! We'll be together again before you know it!"

The broadcast finished, and Mao rolled his head around. "You think it's an obvious trap," he said. "You're probably right. Hahahaha! It's exactly the sort of thing your brother would do, isn't it? Lure me out? Away from the hostages, and then - pop goes the weasel."

"The thought did cross my mind," Cornelia grudgingly admitted. What was he going to do? Threaten them some more to make her come to him?

"Wrong! Of course I'm going! I'll just be taking your Knightmare along for the ride. It'll get me there so much quicker, and if it does turn out to be a trap?" Mao suddenly lifted his knee and struck an elbow downward, and then Zero bent double and dropped to the ground. "Then I will cut this Area apart until I find her. With my words, with my sword, and with everything I learn along the way."

"And that is… The Truth!"
