This familiar na, one she hadn't heard for a very long ti, stirred up mories that Hellmaru had buried in a corner.
Her eyes widened as she stared blankly at Levi's back.
She couldn't understand why he knew this na.
"Who exactly are you?"
Hellmaru's voice was low as her blood-red eyes looked toward Levi.
"Rin, do you miss your sister Sakura?"
Levi tilted his head slightly and turned around, "I can take you to see her."
Hearing a familiar na co from his mouth, the black shadow ford from the Herrscher of Corruption's power collapsed and disappeared.
By sensing Levi's emotions, Hellmaru judged that he wasn't lying.
But Sakura had probably been dead for tens of thousands of years. No matter how strong he was, could he really reverse ti and space?
Hellmaru kept thinking, while Levi said nothing.
After so ti, Hellmaru seed to make up her mind.
"Shorty."
Hellmaru said stubbornly, "You better not just find soone who looks like her to fool !"
'I want to see how you're going to take to see Sakura!'
Hellmaru glanced at Yae Sakura, who didn't understand what was going on, snorted hot air from her nose, and disappeared from in front of them.
Even she herself didn't understand why she agreed to follow him to see that so-called her.
Maybe it was because, deep in her heart, there was still so Rinering attachnt to her…
"Miss Theresa… you know her?", Yae Sakura asked blankly.
As Kallen's descendant, how could she possibly know…
Wait, this demon was inside the box Kallen brought, and she had accidentally released it herself.
Maybe Kallen had been trying all these years to investigate the demon's true na.
Trying to completely deal with her and rescue herself from her grasp.
And her descendants had taken up this responsibility as their mission, until today when they finally t her.
"..."
Looking at Yae Sakura, who already looked touched before he even answered, Levi shook his head.
Clearly overthinking things.
Since she had already filled in the story in her own head, Levi didn't bother explaining and put away the half-finished Divine Key in his hand.
He planned to take this stigmata to Hiko and have her install it.
He raised his head and searched the sky for the aircraft, but after looking around, he didn't see it anywhere.
"Strange. Did Hiko land sowhere?"
Levi scratched his head, preparing to contact her with the communicator.
But he couldn't find that either.
"Theresa." Levi frowned. "Do you rember where I put the communicator?"
He searched through all the pockets of the nun outfit but couldn't find it.
'Maybe it got left on the aircraft… you'll probably have to see if there's any usable communication equipnt left in Nagazora City. Otherwise, we'll have to wait for Hiko to find us, or walk back to St. Freya.'
Communication equipnt was probably out of the question. With the energy fluctuations that just happened, if ordinary civilian communication devices were still intact and working normally…
Then that would be so impressive build quality.
As for walking back to St. Freya, that could basically be ruled out too.
Don't be fooled by how quickly they got from St. Freya Academy to Nagazora City by aircraft.
If soone really had to walk back to St. Freya Academy, it would probably take ten days to half a month.
By the ti they got back, they'd probably already be listed as missing persons.
So the only option left was waiting for Hiko to find them.
Bored, Levi opened the group chat and saw Stelle and Lumine still trying to persuade Elysia to run away. He shook his head.
"These two unlucky kids, still trying to talk her into it!"
After thinking for a mont, Levi popped up in the group chat.
[Levi: @Stelle, look at the Astral Express. No salary, no benefits, not even basic insurance, and your personal safety isn't guaranteed!]
[Levi: Why are you even doing such a dangerous job! Hurry up and run, join the company. Everything I ntioned is included, and there's unlimited afternoon tea every day.]
[Levi: Interested, contact (Topaz business card). Just say I recomnded you, they'll give you a high salary!]
[Stelle: ?]
Looking at it this way, what he said actually makes so sense.
[Levi: @Lumine, look at you!]
[Lumine: ? What about ?]
[Levi: You joined the Adventurers' Guild, running around in the sun and wind doing commissions all day. They don't even subsidize basic sunscreen, and sotis you have to fight powerful monsters.]
[Levi: And for how many Mora are you working this hard?]
[Levi: Interested, contact the Liyue yuheng. Just say you're a hater of Rex Lapis, you'll get a high salary!]
[Lumine: I'm looking for my brother…]
Joining the Adventurers' Guild was just to earn travel expenses.
After all, she wouldn't stay in one place for long.
Unless she found her brother, only then would she consider settRin down.
[Levi: Why are you looking for ?]
[Levi: Ahem, just kidding.]
[Lumine: If he were my brother, I'd have smashed my head into him already.]
[Levi: Not joking. A good brother wouldn't need his sister to look for him. For this kind of brother, I suggest setting up a morial tablet and carrying it with you.]
Seeing Levi's ssage, Lumine nodded in agreent.
Especially the line "A good brother wouldn't need his sister to look for him." She completely agreed.
But she didn't know whether her brother hadn't woken up yet, or if he had woken up and run off on his own.
Or maybe he was still in the hands of that unknown god… still being imprisoned by that unknown god.
If it was anything else, Lumine said she could understand.
At that point, it would be her turn as the younger sister to step up.
Challenge the gods of the whole world just to save her brother.
Of course, if he had run off on his own, leaving her to search bitterly like this, a dangerous glint flashed in Lumine's eyes.
"I wouldn't mind having one more sister."
[Stelle: Co to think of it, Lumine hasn't really talked much about herself.]
[Lumine: You guys never asked.]
After that, Lumine organized her thoughts and briefly explained what had happened to her in the group.
[Kiana: A god?]
[Stelle: Took him away?]
[Levi: ?]
[Levi: When did that happen? How co I don't know?]
[Lumine: Case closed! The god who took @Levi was Venti!]
[Lumine: @Levi, that day you and Venti got drunk…]
[Levi: Stop! I don't want to hear any little stories about !]
[Lumine: Tch~]
Lumine curled her lips. "If you want to be my brother, you'll have to beat my brother first!"
"Only the strong deserve to be my brother!"
"Lumine! Look what I found!"
Paimon flew back to Lumine holding brightly colored mushrooms. "These taste amazing, they're really delicious!"
Looking at the mushrooms in her arms, and the colors still left at the corner of her mouth, Lumine silently put down her backpack.
Under Paimon's confused gaze, Lumine used her Dull Blade to dig a small pit in the ground.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she pointed at the hole and said to Paimon: "Alright, lie down."
Paimon's brain didn't process it right away.
Lumine urged, "Hurry up, I still need to bury you and get moving."
As she spoke, she patted the already carved stone marker, with Paimon's na clearly written on it.
If she still didn't understand at this point, Paimon might as well donate her brain.
Startled, Paimon backed up several ters, the mushrooms in her arms scattering all over the ground.
Her little face was full of panic. She couldn't understand why Lumine suddenly wanted to bury her when everything had been fine.
Lumine pointed at the mushrooms on the ground and said calmly, "Those are poisonous mushrooms. Out here in the wilderness there's no way to treat it, so we can only bury you while you're still fresh."
"Even if they're poisonous, you don't have to bury while I'm still alive!"
But…
Paimon looked at the mushrooms on the ground, pinched her chin with her little hand, and examined them carefully.
"So these are poisonous mushrooms!"
Slurp!
"But they really sll good!"
