Mobius's Interest; Heading to the JoJo World / Zafkiel and the Ability to Control Time; Materializing a New Clone...

"All right, Ata wasn't angry about this at all. The only reason she had you transferred here from the Yan Kingdom was on a whim. So you don't need to worry that we'll take out the offense caused by certain people earlier on you."

An Xiu, who stood opposite them, spoke to the three people before him.

In fact, Sui Second had not caused An Xiu or Talulah any trouble at all. Neither An Xiu nor Talulah would have had any difficulty breaking that illusion. The only reason they had played a few rounds of chess with him was that, without An Xiu's warning, Talulah had been unable to figure out his methods. Coupled with her kind heart, she had played along with him for a while.

In Talulah's eyes, such a trivial matter was not worth getting angry over. An Xiu, meanwhile, had watched the whole thing as a spectacle from beginning to end. Otherwise, even with Giant Beast Ya's help, as long as An Xiu had been willing to act personally—or simply called Jibril—he could have subdued the other party in an instant.

On top of that, the Yan Kingdom had been sensible enough. Without a word, they had sent over Shu, Nian, and Xi, the three female fragments they had been able to find. As far as An Xiu and Talulah were concerned, this matter had long since passed.

"In other words, the person hiding in the shadows can come out now. If you still refuse to show yourself, we'll have no choice but to use some rough methods to force you out. If things turn unpleasant then, you may truly suffer for it."

As An Xiu's words fell, Lapland, standing beside him, suddenly erupted with a powerful aura. Her sharp eyes fixed on a certain spot.
