"So, how are you two doing? Hope you didn't get affected negatively by the recent uproar…"

Sitting opposite to the two familiar faces, I started the conversation very normally while trying not to make much noise as I quietly slurped the noodles.

"Not really, to be honest it's quite the opposite."

Sean himself was only drinking a cup of tea as he answered with a big smile, he appeared to be quite satisfied with how things progressed.

"Ah, right. The mixing of forces should have been between sects should have been helpful for you to be back together, I heard you did very well in the war with the demons…"

The fact that a vast amount of forces were needed for the invasion of demons had probably allowed the two siblings to reunite in some sort of unit considering their position as freshly recruited geniuses which was probably for the best in their case.

"It's nothing much, we just did what we could for the sake of the domain."

However, the reason that I decided to miss Blade's speech about grieving and future reformation was naturally not to discuss and congratulate.

"Nothing much? I heard you took down a commander together, if that's nothing much, then I fear the rest of the forces would be too ashamed to raise their heads..."

The reason was that I was finally able to get an answer to the questions that I had in my head before during the tournament…

Though I did cross out that answer before, that was because I had limited my own perception of things to what I could see with my own eyes.

"Let me ask you something else instead, are you really brother and sister?" I continued my questioning as Sean only replied with a 'humble' scratching of the back of his head.

The reason I denied that answer was my inability to perceive it using my abilities, but the various recent events have proven that my doubts about these abilities limits were correct.

"Hmmm? What do you mean? You already know the story behind that, hahaha…" Sean gave a light laugh as my expression didn't seem to be that serious…

Starting from the events of the Earthen item set and moving on to the Shaman's curse that almost ended my life, I was unable to see both coming, because I thought that 'Eye of Knowledge' was almost omniscient.

But at the very end, the 'Bewitching Ancient Marks' and the 'Demonic Sovereign Sacrifice' proved that wrong as I couldn't see through that.

Even very recently, I had managed to destroy the main fiber of the demon's plans only by coincidence, I didn't really know that what I did had that effect until it was done.

Remembering the last time I heard the pair of siblings' conversation, there was a lot to connect the dot to, and their recent heroic action was the last connection that I needed to try and confirm my suspicion that was denied by 'Eye of Knowledge'.

"Onii-chan… he knows… he also is..."

Just trying it once wouldn't hurt, and in the case I was wrong, I could simply pretend I was joking, but…

'It's confirmed.'

The whispers of Clara who rarely spoke and the manner she spoke in had confirmed it all…

"Oh, you are Japanese players? It seems you really are brother and sister, just not of this world… or should I say this game?"

The eyes of Sean who heard my words finally turned crystal clear as he stared at me while Clara remained unmoved…

"That's really strange, not only did nee-chan confirm that you weren't one of us before, but she also confirms that you are right now…"

'I guess her perceptive innate ability isn't that confirmative either, it's unlikely that it's the only side to it…'

Just as proven before, Clara's perception has been quite special before, it even managed to confirm my identity now somehow, but her not confirming it before meant that what I expected to be her innate ability had certain requirements to be clear or might just have the extraordinary perception as a side ability to it.

So far, all innate abilities that I have encountered have been extremely special ones, even Jean's simple 'Light Genius' wasn't as simple as it appeared to be, him not obtaining much benefits from it probably came from his inability to exercise the ability to its full potential, which is why I looked forward on his future growth with proper powerhouses looking after him…

"So, her ability doesn't only perceive but she also omits stuff from being perceived?"

Although I finally understood that reliance on abilities like 'Eye of Knowledge' wasn't going to give me the full truth, I also understood that it only did so in case it was facing an ability of a very high rank, such as the power of an unknown ancient entity or… an innate ability.

"Nope, that would be me…"

'This…'

The nature of innate abilities had been proven by the village chief already to be something that had close ties to blood and family, so for such compatible abilities of opposite nature to exist...

"You are twins…?"

"Oh, it seems like nee-chan isn't the only one with a great perception, you get 100 points for that correct guess."

"I see you are already talking very comfortably in front of me, you didn't even use this way of calling each other last time…"

The last time they had a conversation while I was hiding far away, they only used normal means to refer to each other unlike how they already reverted to using the ones they are comfortable with.

"Well, you already know that nee-chan has grasped the fact that you know most of the truth about us, but that wasn't everything she could perceive."

Sean totally ignored what I was hinting at as he explained before turning to exchange looks with Clara…

"I can confirm that you don't have evil intentions by revealing everything you know, but you do have intentions for… offering cooperation?"
