It had been quite some time since Leon last dealt with a member of the Temple of Twilight.
Their most recent encounter was when he confronted Guren inside Astra's dimension of consciousness and the Forest of Eternal Silence.
Since then, the man had vanished without a trace and hadn't been seen again.
Even so, Leon was certain he had returned to the Temple of Twilight's headquarters and was secretly preparing an unexpected master plan.
"Do you think he can track your whereabouts?" Leon asked calmly.
Ruri was quiet for a moment before slowly shaking her head. "I don't think so. I used my father's secret weapons to shake him off—but I can't say for sure. There's a chance he left some kind of mark on me before we got separated."
Leon was impressed by her analysis. Despite looking like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl, her way of thinking was far more mature—and that was quite surprising.
"Maybe her real age is over fifty?" Leon wondered.
