Since Hanno is closely affiliated with the White Flames, there’s a lot of information you can extract if you ask the right question. But you need to be succinct, specific, and clever! Or...
“...Multiple questions actually.” You course correct. This is what happens when you have time to think, you come up with way too many ideas that you can’t solve in a minute. “Let’s make it a lighting round.”
“I love a change of pace. Go!” Hanno pretends to blow a whistle.
“The questions that are asked of you, the answers you get, is it information the questioner has or is it otherworldly information, like something the person asking you doesn't even know?” You start with the wordiest question, how great. But you gotta keep him on his toes.
“It’s as if you answered the question. For example, if I ask you where the next crystal is, and you don’t know the answer, all I get back is that you don’t have the information. Maybe a shrug.” Hanno explains.
“Gotta ask, are you proactively collecting the crystals?” You chain questions.
“Yes, sir.” Hanno smiles.
“What are you planning to do if you win?” You raise an eyebrow.
“Hmm…” Hanno is in deep thought, it’s like he never thought about it before. “...I’d like for everyone to spend time with their loved ones for one day and have fun. I think the world deserves a break. Then figure out what’s next together. But selfishly, I’d like everyone to watch a meteor shower to celebrate my win.”
“I-I see.” You didn’t think he’d respond with something like that!
“<span class="mu-i">Yours…</span>” Hanno’s eyes open wide. “...If anything happens to me, aside from my own friends, I’ll be rooting for you.” He raises his fist in a cheerful manner.
“W-What did you learn?” You ask.
Hanno tilts his head. “You already know the answer, why are you asking me?” He smiles.
“...But I do not.” Dempsey got curious.
“E-Ehem, anyway.” You interrupt before things get too corny. “What's Lloydington got planned?”
“To win the whole thing and conquer both worlds.” Hanno deadpans. Dempsey is appalled.
“R-Right, but more specifically? Like, his next immediate move...” You cough.
“He’s planning to empower his entity to unimaginable levels through a holy ritual. For that, he’s building a massive aircraft which will linger above every man-made structure in the world, and he’s recruiting allies to protect him during the ceremony.” Hanno dryly explains.
“…” Dempsey doesn’t know what to say.
“…” You don’t know what to say. Well, Fiora told you about this! You just didn’t know the guy actually had a plan to make this happen! This is bad! “H-How long do we have before this machine is built…?”
