Of course, ignoring him was impossible—Robin would at most complain a bit in her heart.
Besides, even if she didn't worry about Sora, she still had those children to look after.
When Robin saw the innocent expectations in those children's eyes, naturally she couldn't refuse them.
So the performance was quickly set. Once Robin discussed it with the local administrators, preparations began imdiately.
The administrators of this place wouldn't pass up such an amazing opportunity!
This was a fantastic thing for them!
The renowned singer of the galactic stage was going to hold a performance here—whatever the reason, they'd give it one hundred percent support.
Setting up the stage, choosing the songs—these things all had to be done.
But before getting too busy, Robin specially sought out Sora.
"Since you gave this task, after it's done, you're coming with to relax properly."
Robin took this chance to propose their next destination.
"Soul Spring—Tartaro?"
Sora blanked montarily after hearing that na.
It was only one word off from the na of a certain ultimate lifeform from his mories…
"I've already spoken with Anna-san. She's agreed to let us go there to relax for a bit."
In truth, after Robin ntioned Sora's ntal condition, Anna hadn't hesitated for a second to approve the trip.
Indeed, Anna-san would never joke around when it ca to sothing like this.
The itinerary had already started to be booked, and Robin planned to complete this simple performance in the anti.
"Oh, sure. I'm fine either way." Sora didn't mind at all.
Anyway, enjoying the universe's scenery and properly relaxing his body wouldn't be a bad thing.
He might as well also bring along the girls from the Glamoth Iron Cavalry for a vacation.
They'd followed him all this way and yet hadn't enjoyed a single peaceful mont. They spent their days either fighting off propagation hordes or transporting patients—never once resting, just like him.
The only difference was that Sora had ways of recovering energy, such as basking in sunlight.
anwhile, they'd relied solely on sheer physical and ntal endurance to last until now.
This was the perfect chance to let them properly unwind too.
"Then it's decided. This ti, you're absolutely forbidden from wandering off," Robin warned.
"What are you even saying? When have I ever wandered off?"
Sora felt unfairly accused. Why did it seem like his credibility was totally shot?
He always kept his promises, so why did everyone keep doubting him?
But hearing Sora's reply, Robin only snorted coldly.
She'd clearly have to discuss things with Hotaru and the others later. When the ti ca, they could forcibly drag him along if necessary.
You're not getting away this ti. Just quietly take a break and let that stress finally ease off!
...
The stage went up very quickly. Since this wasn't so massive galactic-scale event, there was no need for an overly extravagant setup.
During this period, Robin started rehearsing again.
anwhile, Sora found himself unexpectedly calm, finally able to briefly sit still on this planet and rest.
"To be honest, it feels a bit strange…"
It felt just like a high-speed vehicle suddenly slamming the brakes.
Sora felt a little out of place all of a sudden.
But perhaps feeling out of place was exactly what he had wished for—this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
If his presence ant trouble arose wherever he went, wouldn't that an chaos followed him everywhere?
Impossible, surely.
Peace was the true the of the universe. He'd just coincidentally gotten involved in a few ssy events.
It was just like the lives of ordinary people—most days were spent quietly.
Those grand adventures were always the exception.
"I guess I should start figuring out how to enjoy life," Sora mused thoughtfully.
Now, let him savor this rare mont of peace.
"Sora-san!!"
Unfortunately, his peace didn't last long—soone in the distance was already urgently calling his na.
Seriously… do I have so kind of flag-raising constitution or sothing?
Sora imdiately felt perplexed. He genuinely couldn't understand what was happening here.
Be it on Promia or Zieltworth, every ti he set a flag, it got mysteriously fulfilled almost instantly.
Was this just his destined Path, the fate he walked?
Helplessly turning his head, Sora looked over to see exactly who had disturbed his rare, peaceful day.
He soon spotted a familiar figure dashing madly toward him.
It was a blue-skinned woman in professional attire, though right now her appearance was sowhat disheveled from running.
She was that IPC specialist who had previously handled his ship's after-sales service…
What was her na again?
Quietly, Sora pulled out his phone and glanced at the contact's mo.
"Felice-san, what brings you here?" Sora asked curiously.
Hadn't Felice left after handling the ship transfer?
"I…I'm…"
Felice was gasping heavily, prompting Sora to quickly hand her a glass of water, after which she recovered enough to speak properly.
Finally, she managed a full sentence:
"I'm here to sign a contract with you!"
She imdiately pulled out a contract from the briefcase she carried.
Huh?! Now it was Sora's turn to blank out.
Wait a second—how had things suddenly turned into this?
"A contract?!" Sora had no idea what was going on.
"Yes, a woman nad Anna sent here to find you!"
Upon hearing Anna's na, Sora imdiately beca suspicious, rembering the bizarre incidents he'd encountered recently.
Don't tell she's planning to harvest my kidneys?
Sure, he might jokingly focus on others' waists as a tribute to the predecessors who granted him power, but he didn't want his own waist hard!
"Anna-san? Wait just a mont…" Sora quickly dialed Anna's number.
Only then did he finally grasp the full story.
After Robin discussed Sora's ntal state, Anna naturally chose to book tickets for Tartaro.
But upon booking, Anna discovered sothing astonishing:
Sora was already listed as a top-tier mber of Tartaro.
He had special privileges—no reservation needed, arriving whenever he pleased.
This revelation left Anna utterly dumbfounded. She repeatedly confird the information with custor service, yet the answer never changed.
Without her knowing, Sora had sohow beco the planet's highest-tier mber.
Who did this? Who's stealing my job?!
Anna was genuinely baffled. Who knew there were people out there stealing her work in this galaxy?
The possibility of Sora buying mbership himself? Anna considered it absolutely impossible.
Did she not know Sora? His knowledge of the galaxy could charitably be described as barren.
Let alone sothing like this.
Soone definitely beat her to the punch!
Who was it? Who?!
Anna quickly investigated, finally acquiring the contact info responsible.
After speaking directly with Felice, Anna swiftly grasped the full truth.
anwhile, Felice had started pouring out her troubles to Anna, leaving Anna increasingly amused but exasperated, quickly understanding everything clearly.
Then, Anna initiated her whispers like so ancient, cunning god, slowly planting ideas in Felice's mind.
"Such a perfect opportunity is right before you, yet you haven't realized it yet?"
"Think carefully—would you normally ever get such close contact with soone like him?"
"But now, the opportunity is directly in front of you…"
Like an insidious devil from hell, Anna slowly drew Felice deeper and deeper in.
"Would you rather stay a normal employee at IPC—or beco his personal manager?"
At that mont, Felice finally saw the light!
Right. Being an IPC employee ant risking demotion if her performance slipped.
But if she latched onto Sora, wouldn't that be infinitely better than her current position at IPC?
"You've already grasped your future. Have a lawyer prepare a professional managent contract, then go find him and sign it!"
Anna guided Felice like a demon seducing soone into temptation.
"As long as you get him to sign, you've secured your future!"
Thus, under Anna's gentle push, Felice now stood eagerly before Sora.
She would seize her future!
After listening to the whole explanation, Sora hung up the phone, his expression complicated.
"Please let handle your mundane affairs! I promise to cherish this chance!" Felice pleaded once more.
"But it seems I can't afford to pay your salary," Sora hesitated.
"No problem! Miss Anna already said she'll handle my entire salary herself."
Felice excitedly stared at Sora: "All I want is to be your manager!"
Though the title sounded ordinary, this position was now her greatest desire.
"Please, this is truly important to !"
Sora thought carefully—it didn't seem like there was any downside for him here.
Most importantly, he wouldn't have to personally handle all those troubleso little things anymore.
With this in mind, Sora finally signed his na on her contract:
"Thank you for all your previous help, managing things for without paynt."
Honestly, Sora had been shocked seeing the sheer amount of work Felice listed in her records.
"Not at all! From now on, leave everything to !"
Having secured the contract, Felice's smile overflowed with joy.
Now things were different—handling such tasks was officially her job!
However, at that mont, both their terminals simultaneously flashed a warning:
—[Galactic Pirate Codena: 'Spider' Chief Leader has appeared within detectable range. Projected route calculated. Please prepare to evacuate.]
And their current coordinates were unmistakably intersecting directly with the projected path.
Guess his peaceful day wasn't ant to last.
