The Least Common Denominator The State of Affairs IV
Complacency was something of a hidden trap. While it was always recommended to relax and take a break every once in a while, indulging in such things too much would lead to a gradual deterioration of both motivation and skill. Vigilance was also an issue among these things. Taking breaks due to complacency would inevitably make you prone to mistakes that you otherwise wouldn't have made. Overconfidence was always just around the corner after all, and one slip up due to a false sense of security was just screaming for an incident waiting to happen. Then again, I was just spouting these thoughts out my ass to justify the nervous itch in me to be constantly prepared. "Do we really need to involve ourselves in this, Sis?" I winced as my sister voiced her incredibly valid thought against my own insanity. We were all sitting in
The Least Common Denominator LV.I Accuracy
In a world where I'm still not sure what my role truly is, I'd guess that time was the most important thing that I still had in spades. Well, I say that, but I highly doubt that it wouldn't change in the near future so long as we let the world go around and move forward. In retrospect, it was kind of a bad idea to not even move away from our humble safehouse despite it being located so damn near to an admittedly poorly maintained road.Then again, it might just be my paranoia talking since we've been here for about a year without being disturbed.If I was gauging my own body clock properly, I'd say I was about twenty years old now. My previously short hair had once again grown back to being flowy, back-length crimson locks, and my body had only grown stronger from the constant training alongside Arya and my sister. I never grew in all the places that I used to have more volume

This was bad. I was far from ready to even take the neighboring kingdom into account in my plans to free other Denominators from their Furnace. Not that I didn't expect this, but Arya assured me that the stalemate was far from being breached. So long as the Emperor was kept occupied in the front, we'd have all the time in the world to move without the fear of having a detachment of Primes bearing down on us. If the front had truly been breached, then that meant that our current position was in danger of being scouted out in favor of checking for possible terrain advantages. Not to mention the fact that this place was near the place where the Vaion detachment was even located before.Fucking shit. We had to move before the Empire wanted to check this place out."Why the fuck didn't you give this to me yesterday?" I ground out, keeping my voice level as I glared at Arya.<

Quickly pocketing the prototype two-way radio, I hurried out of the workshop to find that two of my housemates had already finished packing. Arya had her usual stuff on her, as well as what little clothes she had bought during her usual excursions. Meanwhile, Livia held within her hands two sacks filled with what I could only assume to be our combined clothing. I'll admit that I sometimes got carried away with making a few dresses here and there, but I sincerely hoped that the bigger of the two sacks weren't mine....Well, no... It actually was mine..."You heard it, right?" I cautiously asked as I hefted the bigger sack away from my sister's grasp. "Think that's them?""Possibly," Arya answered, her joking tone completely gone in favor of showing her professional side. "It was from the east, so it's possibly the Vaio pushing forward."&

We all let out a collective sigh of relief as Arya lowered her hand. I never thought that the former Prime could even get paler than she already was, but I guess a lot of firsts were being made today."Was that who I think it was?" Livia absently asked, her voice still thankfully a whisper despite the relative silence around us. "Did the damned Emperor just walk right past us?""We have to move," Arya whispered... in a panic? "If they're here, then the others will be close behind."A whole lot of anxiety and dread decided to settle within my stomach at the insinuations that our lead just made with her comments. It truly was the fucking Emperor, but judging from her tone, Arya was afraid... There were only two men walking past us earlier, and surely one of them was the Emperor. So who was she afraid of? And... wait...Wh

Back when I was but a little girl glued to daytime children's television, I've always been a bit more... advanced than most kids my age. I might not have been 'graduate college by fourteen' levels of genius, but I was still a bit faster on the uptake than most of my kiddie peers. As such, I remembered constantly pointing out stuff from kid's shows that I found stupid; like asking me what color the star was, or where the painfully obvious wheelbarrow was located. And it didn't even stop there. I actually assumed that these things were how the real world worked. I wizened up, of course, but shows like Scooby-Doo really did an impression on me with just how bad most disguises actually were when faced with a decent amount of scrutiny. And thus, I found myself asking the same damn question in my head for like the fifth time in the past minute:How was this even working?"Act natura

The truth. While I certainly didn't put too much stock on the multitude of videos claimingthat their news was the so-called 'secret truth behind it all,' there were still some nuggets ofbronze amid the sea of shit that was the portrayal of news by the media and other self-proclaimed 'true journalists.' Well, I wouldn't really proclaim myself as the queen of parsing through bullshit seeing as I'll be the first to admit that I was pretty damn gullible, but there should still be some form of clout in constantly being able to shrug of said bullshit when it's being shoved down your throat at every minute of every day. I mean, it's still experience, right?Then again, I was a damn idiot for even believing some of the stupidest things I've ever heard in hindsight.The truth was something that most people covet yet at the same time fear. There was some sort of power in the

Mathema. On top of the shocking revelation that everyone around me was probably named after someone important in the mathematical world, the capital's ridiculously on-the-nose name didn't even faze me anymore as we entered its increasingly unruly streets. The fact that Imperial guards didn't even check our stuff due to the amount of work they still had to do only meant that they were ridiculously understaffed at the moment. It was a small miracle that I wouldn't take for granted, of course, but for a capital city to be in this much unrest, I kind of get the feeling that it was only a matter of time before the whole city would inevitably explode into a full-blown civil war.And wasn't that just the perfect opportunity to reconsolidate power."Where's the Princess?!""Where's the Emperor?!"The three of us weaved through the populated stre
