Good, so handsome——!

I-I-I have always wanted to say such a handsome, cool line!!

In Airu's eyes, stars seemed to constantly sparkle; ignoring her excited, trembling voice, almost everyone could see the look of longing on her face.

It's so perfect, so handsome! Swing the bat at the lofty ruler, smash those conspiracies to pieces! Wah——If I were to say such a tense line……

Watching her own boss lost in his daydreaming fantasies, Kayako beside her also let out a helpless sigh.

"Little Ai, didn't we agree to become 'outlaws'? This line doesn't sound like something an outlaw would say, but rather a great hero saving the world."

"Eh?! Well, maybe…… wait, no!"

Even though Mutsuki was about to wrap her up any moment, for some reason Airu, like a sudden flash of inspiration, outright rejected Mutsuki's statement.

"What's wrong?"

"If Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela represents 'law', then resisting Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela, Star and Xilian are also 'outlaws'! And 'outlaws'…… is the common ground between our Convenience Store 68 and Star!" Airu clenched her fists, "Right, right? This line is absolutely fitting and so handsome!"

Kayako rubbed her temples with her thumb: "Indeed, but Star's contrast with me is just too great…… Just a little while ago she was doing the 'no laughing' challenge, and suddenly she became so serious—I'm not used to it."

: —— -> Just a separator line: we output "——" as is? The line is just "——". We'll output "——".

"Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela was stunned for a moment, then let out a low chuckle."

"Heh…hehe……"

"Really…this is a chaotic speech."

"Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela fiercely waved her hand, the scepter striking the ground heavily, her voice echoing throughout the hall."

"No need to say more…… Bladebreaker Marquis, Winter Frost Marquis, come! Take the traitors to the dungeon! Before the gate time today, I will give them an ending befitting rebellion."

Seeing everyone gather around, suddenly a familiar voice rang from within the hall, drawing everyone's attention.

"Lord Caesar, your ambition truly surpasses all."

The comer was none other than Laigushi.

"Divine Rite Official, you haven't left yet?"

"Of course. As a Divine Rite spectator, I cannot miss this: witnessing the downfall of a nameless person."

As Laigushi kept advancing, the surrounding Bladebreaker Marquis, Wind Chant Marquis, and others began to disappear one by one; in the blink of an eye, only a few Golden Descendants and Star remained.

"Or perhaps I'm waiting for you to give me an answer: Iron Bowl like you, why go to such trouble?"

Iron Bowl

Hesyin raised her hand and blocked his advance with a sword.

"Attempting to use the clumsy excuse of 'escort' to ensure the Savior's safety?"

Seeing the werewolf voluntarily step forward, Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela smiled satisfactorily: "Heh, finally shedding the disguise."

"I must point out: in terms of acting skill, you are no less. This banquet has been your scheme from the very beginning……" Laigushi glanced meaningfully at the Savior beside him, "All to maintain the balance between the two sides, intending to turn me and them into your pawns."

: —— -> separator line.

Dragon Clan.

"I see now; I wondered how Caesar could make such a move, but it turns out it was all an act put on for Laigushi to see."

Sakurai Nanami repeatedly patted her own head, suddenly realizing.

If she was using the name 'escort' to protect Star and Xilian, then everything makes sense.

No wonder it's Caesar; she acted just like the real thing. Looking back now, Hesyin's attitude is also quite thought-provoking…… Could it be that they had planned this from the start? Even that mead that clears the illusions was deliberately given by Hesyin?

From the moment they stepped into the banquet, the probing of Star and Xilian never ceased, until Caesar threw that sword before Star; if she dared to pick it up and truly oppose Caesar, Hesyin would likely run her through with a sword in the next second……

Sakurai Nanami suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.

Is this really the kind of scheming a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl should have?

... Truly profound as the sea.

"Laigushi isn't even going to act this time; she plans to give up control of the 'law'?" Fengmo Xiaotailang laughed coldly, "This is being forced into a corner by Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela, the fox's tail showing."

Fengmo Xiaotailang

"It seems it intends to actively intervene in this Fire Pursuit Journey."

Although just finished solving one question, a new problem again surfaced in Sakurai Nanami's mind.

"But the problem is, if it truly has the ability to interfere in this Fire Pursuit Journey, why would it hypocritically negotiate with Caesar?"

: —— -> separator.

"Is all of this a disguise?"

"Xilian nodded: "Right. I'm afraid little Caesar has never trusted anyone; from beginning to end she only wanted to see which side could show more sincerity……"

"Looking back at all the choices they made after arriving at the banquet, each was built on the foundation of respecting Caesar's choices. Xilian let out a long breath, feeling immensely relieved: "We've won; sincerity is the eternal shortcut."

"The Caesar on the throne turned her gaze toward Laigushi, sneering: "Well, you, Luku'erges, clearly possess such great power yet pretend to be a mortal, bowing and scraping…… Could it be that flattery is your hobby?"

Luku'erges

"Laigushi paid no heed, merely saying lightly: "You misunderstand. I merely strive for autonomous, meticulous, perfect experiment, avoiding complications. Violent interference would only increase error, be inefficient, and ugly. If you keep the pact, hand over the 'law' to me, and proceed step by step to complete the 'Recreation of the World', Wengfalousi would not deviate from fate's proper course."

Wengfalousi

"But unfortunately, you broke the promise. Therefore, as the administrator, I will fulfill my duty and purge all uncontrollable factors."

"Laigushi glanced sideways slightly; her gaze seemed to pierce through the black mask, like a blade sealed for years slowly unsheathing, revealing that sharp cold light."

"For example, you, for example——"

"Her gaze suddenly turned, like drawing a bow and nocking an arrow, firmly aiming at Star below the stage."

"Her."

"Star, be careful……"

"Xilian only felt a chill behind her; the word 'heart' had not yet left her lips when time seemed to freeze——"

"Star, be careful……"

"A strange red jellyfish floated behind Xilian, and a voice eerily familiar to her surfaced in her mind."

"What? This voice… is it Ouluonisi?"

Ouluonisi

「That female voice's tone suddenly changed, like a whisper rising from an unfathomable dark sea trench, slowly spreading over the skin on her back…… icy, clear, making Xilian instantly shiver. 」

「「Found it, found it……」」

「「Be careful… this place… will face calamity…」」

「Suddenly, a blinding flash of light flickered before Xilian's eyes, and in almost an instant, Xilian vanished from the spot. 」

「Everything happened too quickly; when time flowed again, Xing finally realized that the girl beside her had disappeared. 」
