Shouldn't we wonder how they got here in the first place? The one we found was in the vault of the castle. That was not recent.

[It was so long ago nobody even knew what was causing trouble! All they knew was that it was in the vault]

[foresightis2020]

We should. Considering the circumstances, someone must have placed it there.

After all, I doubt the rock itself could have simply gotten up and walked into the vault.

[ Those are his thoughts, anyway. The phrasing might be a bit silly, but ultimately it is the thought that counts.

Then again, anything is possible. ]

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

There's got to be a reason why all these rocks activated roughly at the same time, too. The one in the vault was inert for long enough everyone forgot about it.

[ For a moment, Jing Yuan closes his eyes, as if in thought, before reopening them. ]

It could be purposeful timing that would support in the coming of that Great Calamity we are meant to prevent in the previous wizards' place.

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

So fulfilling these missions will make it easier to defeat the moon once the calamity comes.

[Oh, that'd be good]

[foresightis2020]

I earnestly believe that's the case as well.

[ Jing Yuan rises to his feet, thinking that he has more or less covered the pertinent aspects in conversation, and nothing about Kiryu makes it seem like he's going to immediately keel over and die or something. ]

I believe I will leave you to it. Though, the moment you feel anything is off, even slightly, I imagine you will try to get our attention?

[ As in everyone's, or those who are close by enough, really. ]

...if something is wrong with me and turns out to be moon-related wouldn't whatever I have wrong try to hide it?

[Sentiment that'll increase once Akira's happenings, well, happen. IF Kiryu is possessed or something, perhaps that will stay hidden in some way until it's tiem to strike. Hopefully that won't happen, but still, Kiryu has concerns]

[foresightis2020]

In all honesty, I wouldn't know.

You have a fair point, even if I would not wish to assume that is exactly the case.

[ Jing Yuan isn't going to approach this matter from a purely optimistic perspective since that is dangerous.

This is a matter of life or death, after all, and a single miscalculation can result in an unfortunate conclusion. ]

Either way, if you do have enough strength of will to resist whatever it could be in the event something does 'manifest', I doubt you're the type of person not to try to seek an opportunity to struggle against it.
