Chapter 416: Falling from the Sky is a Traditional Opening for an Otherworldly Adventure

Little Garden, City of the End, Above the Sky.

Izayoi Sakamaki, keeping an ambitious smile and full of fighting spirit; Kudou Asuka, full of curiosity and holding a letter in her hand; and Kasukabe Yo, with joy on her face and a cat sitting on her shoulder.

The three of them appeared simultaneously ten thousand meters in the air.

"Huh?"

Kudou Asuka froze for a moment, her eyes dazed.

"Hm? Someone else?"

Izayoi Sakamaki reacted quickly and locked onto Kudou Asuka beside her, but the next second, she sensed something was wrong.

Gravity seemed a bit off?

"Meow!!!"

The next second, the three people and one cat all discovered the fact that there was nothing supporting them underneath.

Izayoi Sakamaki even let out a sound of curiosity.

"A high-altitude skydiving challenge without a parachute? Interesting, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Kudou Asuka's face turned pale, and she shouted.

"Interesting my foot! Help meeeee!!"

As for the last one, the seemingly more quiet Kasukabe Yo, she didn't seem to have reacted yet, and she fell from the high altitude with a slightly dazed look on her face.

Only the cat beside her let out a panicked scream.

"Meow!!"

——

"Aren't you going to welcome the newcomers?"

At the Arcadia headquarters, Su Nian, leaning against the window, turned his head and said to Canary.

However, Canary, who was holding a book on the sofa, retorted with a question.

"Guess why I didn't go to pick up Izayoi?"

Canary looked at Su Nian resentfully and said.

"Who do you think is responsible for me being in this state right now? Second Generation?"

"Right now, the clones I've created through Fiction are disappearing at a rate of sixty per minute, and there's no culprit."

"Do you think I dare to go see Izayoi now?"

"Ahem."

Su Nian turned his head away, coughed awkwardly, and then said with a calm expression.

"But my intuition tells me that there is definitely another reason why you don't dare to see your foster daughter."

"Tsk."

Canary clicked her tongue in annoyance, then said with a cheerful expression.

"The impression of Little Garden I induced in Izayoi Sakamaki was based on the assumption that you hadn't come to Little Garden."

"Now, this girl is definitely thinking about how to clear Little Garden, and the reason why I failed in the past."

"Huh?"

Su Nian was slightly stunned, and immediately understood why Canary didn't dare to go see Izayoi Sakamaki now.

"Coming to Little Garden full of a sense of challenge, only to find that one is of no use at all, as someone has already solved everything."

"This is beyond the level of just looking for a beating."

Thinking of Izayoi Sakamaki arriving at Arcadia and finding that the product did not match the advertisement, Su Nian was speechless.

"Who do you think is to blame for this?"

Canary looked at Su Nian and said faintly; as far as the normal script went, she had already arranged a script for Izayoi Sakamaki that would satisfy her enough.

"Besides, do you really think I can't tell that you had ulterior motives when you summoned this girl, Izayoi?"

Canary looked at Su Nian very calmly and said.

"And, Second Generation, isn't shifting the blame onto me one of your goals as well?"

"After going through so much, only to find that the one who set you up was actually your foster mother—Second Generation, you really have a wicked sense of humor, don't you?"

One doesn't worry about too many lice, and one doesn't feel the itch with too many debts; anyway, there were already enough pots on her back.

Hearing this, Su Nian chuckled, then opened a water screen and set his sights on the three people and one cat who had just fallen from the sky.

——

Boom!!

The film-like cushioning device laid out on the water surface was smashed open, and the three young girls and one cat fell into the water just like that.

"Scared me to death, I thought I was almost going to be smashed to pieces."

Kudou Asuka said through gritted teeth while struggling to wring the water out of her thick clothes.

She regretted wearing such thick clothes; it was really uncomfortable being soaking wet, although it wasn't exactly comfortable on ordinary days either.

The era she lived in was the era when the Island Country had the highest average temperature, but she couldn't accept those clothes as thin as paper; she felt like she was exposing herself if she sweated even a little.

"If I find out who threw me down, I'll make them experience a high-altitude fall a hundred times sooner or later!!"

"Yes, a hundred times is still too few; I think it would be better to throw them into the high altitude a thousand times!"

Izayoi Sakamaki, who had a strong delinquent temperament beside Kudou Asuka, nodded in agreement and said.

"The girl over there holding the cat, what do you think?"

Kudou Asuka turned her head and asked Kasukabe Yo.

"I think you're right."

Kasukabe Yo nodded and said softly while squeezing the water out of her clothes.

"Is that so? Then is that young lady over there, who took the liberty of sending invitations and took the liberty of dropping us from high altitude, prepared to accept her punishment?"

"Eh?"

Black Rabbit, holding two branches full of leaves and pretending to be a bush, couldn't help but blink her eyes.

"You were seen through instantly; did you really think you were hiding well?"

Kudou Asuka pointed at Izayoi Sakamaki beside her and said with dissatisfaction.

"You didn't even have the intention to hide, did you? I just saw it; you only leisurely snapped off two branches to hide just as we were about to land."

"Am I right? Miss Rabbit with the pair of rabbit ears?"

"Oh my, so I was seen?"

Kasukabe Yo, who was holding a cat on the side, also said faintly.

"And the scent."

Black Rabbit was indeed upwind.

"So there were that many flaws? If I had known, I would have properly studied stealth."

Black Rabbit pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, Izayoi Sakamaki, who was leaning against a tree, glanced over.

"Don't put on an act there, Miss Rabbit. Are you ready to accept your punishment?"

"Miss Rabbit, who just arranged for us to fall from high altitude?"

"Eh? This wasn't arranged by me."

Black Rabbit waved her hands in a flustered panic.

"It was all Lord Su Nian who said something about how an arrival in another world must start from high altitude, and that only by descending from the sky can it be called a true opening for another world or something."

"Hm? Su Nian? Not Canary?"

Izayoi Sakamaki looked at Black Rabbit suspiciously, wearing a strange expression.

Based on his understanding of Canary, in this kind of situation, Canary would definitely be unable to resist pranking her and giving her a surprise, right?

"Canary? Although Lord Canary also wanted to arrange it, the matter of summoning the newcomers was arranged entirely by leader Su Nian."

Black Rabbit tapped her lips, pondered for a moment, and said very firmly.

Hmph, the mischievous Lord Su Nian, still trying to shift the blame onto me? Black Rabbit isn't so easily fooled.

This was what Black Rabbit thought, having "accidentally" passed by and overheard Su Nian's plan while Su Nian and Canary were discussing how to give the newcomers a surprise.

If she hadn't reacted quickly, she might have really been thrown into the high altitude a thousand times.

"Then who sent this Invitation Letter?"

Izayoi Sakamaki curled the corners of his mouth into a smile at this moment, looking at Black Rabbit and saying.

"Of course it was me who sent it."

Black Rabbit said quite proudly, not noticing at all the pit Izayoi Sakamaki had dug for her.

"Oh? Doesn't that mean you were the one who let us fall from high altitude?"

Izayoi Sakamaki laughed loudly before saying.

"So, are you ready to accept your punishment? Miss Rabbit?"

Izayoi Sakamaki rubbed his hands, a smile of ambiguous meaning on his face, and walked toward Black Rabbit step by step.

The smile on Black Rabbit's face gradually turned into panic; she watched Izayoi Sakamaki approaching her step by step and instinctively retreated backward.

But after retreating only a few steps, she bumped into a soft wall.

This was Kasukabe Yo, who had arrived behind Black Rabbit at some point, along with Kudou Asuka.

Black Rabbit, there is nowhere left to run~~

Discovering that she was surrounded by the three Problem Children, Black Rabbit instinctively slumped to the ground, hugged her head, and said in a low voice.

"Can you not throw me into the sky?"

"What do you think?"

Izayoi Sakamaki walked toward Black Rabbit with a wicked grin.

"Of course not. Not just you, but that guy named Su Nian also has to suffer punishment!"

Kudou Asuka said with a dark face.

"Same here!"

Kasukabe Yo nodded in agreement.

"Noooooo!!"

Black Rabbit covered her head in fear and said, her mood so low that even her ears folded down.

But the three problem girls had no intention of listening to Black Rabbit's explanation, just approaching her step by step.

Then, amidst Black Rabbit's near-despair, as the highlights in her eyes gradually vanished, they grabbed Black Rabbit's ears and pulled hard!

Instantly, Black Rabbit let out a scream!!

"Don't pull on people's beautiful ears so roughly!"

"Oh? So these ears are real."

Izayoi Sakamaki clenched his fist, seemingly recalling the texture of Black Rabbit's ears just now, and said.

Even Kudou Asuka, who had always maintained the arrogance of a young lady, blocked her somewhat excited expression with embarrassment.

"Of course they're real!"

Having her ears treated so roughly, even Black Rabbit was a little angry.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Sure enough, Lord Su Nian was right; little sister-chan has long been corrupted by Canary. It seems little sister-chan needs a good education?"

"Little sister?"

Izayoi Sakamaki became interested for a moment and couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

"Did Canary not tell you? Little sister Izayoi?"

Black Rabbit revealed a dark smile with a hint of excitement; it was time to show off the dignity of being an older sister.

Both she and Izayoi Sakamaki were adopted daughters taken in by Canary, and since she had been adopted by Canary earlier than Izayoi Sakamaki, she was naturally Izayoi Sakamaki's older sister.

"Sorry, I'm not so easily fooled, especially by a weak-willed older sister."

Izayoi Sakamaki curled her lip and said heartlessly, though she still secretly sized up Black Rabbit and cursed Canary in her heart.

Unreliable father, you actually didn't tell me I had an older sister!! And look at how she's been raised; it seems she needs to be re-educated.

When Black Rabbit heard that Izayoi Sakamaki was unwilling to acknowledge her as an older sister, she froze in place as if she had turned to stone in an instant.
