Rajendra kept hold of the device, looking over at Mirai and Isa.
"So, I suppose 3 is enough. Very well, I believe that you mean well and won't bring harm to us." He said.
"Oh, uh, thank you." Isa nodded.
"However... you still puzzle me, if only because you're not taking all the elements from the kingdoms you go into. The only conclusion I can make is unlike most other maidens, taking all the elements isn't your main priority." Rajendra said, bringing his tea to his lips.
"Well, it's not that I don't want to-... I just don't want to destroy anything in order to do it, and... most of these kingdoms look like they need at least some of the elements to stay afloat." Isa reasoned. "I don't want to be the person who decides to destroy everyone's homes, I just want to end the war."

"And I want to help her end the war." Mirai added.

"Ah, then it all works out perfectly.
You see, you don't need all the elements to end the war." Rajendra said, beaming.

"We don't?" Mirai asked.

Isa blinked, "Wait, that's not-"
"You see, what kind of result are you expecting when you collect every element? How's that going to help you actually stop war, as a concept?" Rajendra asked.
"I- we've already- with weapons, we can stop people from making weapons, with empathy, which we grabbed earlier, we can help everyone see each others sides so they can all understand each other, then with others like peace, we can..." She stopped, Rajendra's expression wasn't changing at all.
"You have weapons and empathy right now, don't you? So all you would need is peace from the Holymoons." Rajendra said. "That's just three of them."

"I din't even know there is a peace element out there. How come no one actually used that to end the war?" Mirai asked.

Rajendra looked straight at Mirai. "You'd have to ask mister Holymoon that yourself. I know if I ever get the chance to meet him, that's going to be my question."

"We'll probably ask him the same question after we get a few facts straight with Ambrosius and Suzanne..." Mirai commented, staring at the table.

"Suzanne? The Song daughter?" Durga asked.
"Yeah, she, uh, she gave us 2 of their kingdoms elements in exchange for us... taking Deborah out." Isa said.
"Hm, that's troubling, but not unexpected." Durga said.
"Is no one going to touch their tea?" Rajendra asked. His prompting lead to Sage taking a sip..

Mirai picked up the cup of tea, taking a small sip before putting it on the table.
"...It din't have any taste." Mirai commented.
As he said that, a bit of tea started to slip out of the hole in his hand made during the fight against Deborah when he got stabbed by the crystal spike on her shoulder.

Durga looked down at his hand. "...You're bleeding?" She asked.
Rajendra's expression remained rather placid.
Isa drank some as well. "...I think I prefer water." She admitted.
"That's not a very common opinion, but I can respect that." Rajendra said.
"I liked it." Sage then offered.
"Thank you, Sage." Rajendra said, not sounding too impressed.

Mirai looked at the hole in his hand.
"...I don't think so but this is weird. This hole will probably vanish on it's own, it happened with every injury I sustained from all the guys I fought, every time I'm around Isa the damage fades away like nothing happened, I guess it's one of the advantages of being a guardian..." Mirai guessed.

"Maybe, anyway, about what you just said, about us not needing all of the elements?" Isa asked.
"What about it?" Rajendra asked in turn.
"...Uh..."
"Let's not beat around the bush, those three elements should be enough on their own. You shouldn't need any others." Rajendra said.
"...Is this just you trying to convince us not to take your elements?" Isa asked.
"It's not just that. I will admit, that is part of it, but you haven't been taking everyone's elements to start with, so it's inaccurate to say that's my only goal here." Rajendra told her, drinking some more tea.
Durga took a sip of her cup as well. "...You have made better tea before." She commented.
"...Yes, I must agree." Rajendra put his cup down.

"What is your other goal...goals?" Mirai asked.

"Simple.
I don't think we need to rely on these to end this war. I think it can end on its own, without the interference of a maiden." Rajendra said, "Provided us humans go about things correctly.
For example, I want to consider the ethics of using a power to force peace into existence. Is peace brought about by force actual peace, or is it simply tyranny? True peace is gained through co-operation between many forces all working towards the same goal."
