Mugen wasn't the only one capable of hearing Anais's inner monologue. Now, the various forms of Shinomiya Kaguya could hear her internal voices as well. Had she learned of this? Mugen didn't yet know, but that was of little importance. According to the free-spirited version of Anais brought to surface by his presence, the only issue at present was... that the current scene was too good. 'Ara? Glad I could be of service. I've got a special reward for you, giving valuable feedback and all,' he said to the dark side of Anais. Of course, that promise had nothing to do with his eventual deposit into the rear of Usagi. No, he was just adding to the tally for Anais at this point.
Ailen... was a goner. Today would mark his final day as a functional elf who had his life together. Of this, he could be almost certain. In warning Usagi that she would gain none of his knowledge from Anais's mouth, he heard the girl claim she already knew. She was enjoying him, she claimed. How very strange. Being desired for anything but his knowledge was a new concept to Ailen. Anais had been the first to value him with little to no consideration for his mind's worth. Was he now to believe there were two? Apparently he was. There was a certain comfort in the notion that he didn't have to keep his mind functioning at full capacity around these girls. He was just beginning to accept that with Anais, and now there was another he could probably be more relaxed around. "That's so strange. Humans... always bring unexpected developments," he muttered.
While Ailen was going through an emotional rollercoaster, Mugen was ejecting a great deal of mana into his apprentice's new form. He may have put a bit more 'oomph' into it due to the knowledge of Anais's second-hand experience. Well... that was her fault for not giving a proper hello. She did give one after being addressed about it, just before her other self started talking about which round it was. Round? No, that wasn't right. 'Not so fast, Little Doe. It's still round zero. That is... unless you're saying I should get out of my chair and make the trip here in person?'
