Mountains Yudun told the story almost in a single breath, then stopped to study Zai Jiu Xunge's expression. She found that the latter seemed utterly absorbed in the story, and when she stopped, even asked with her eyes why she had stopped talking.
Although Mountains Yudun had already prepared herself when she realized that the Player before her was the one Star Sea Yudun wanted her to meet, knowing that the other woman would not be the kind of person they disliked, she was still surprised by Zai Jiu Xunge's calm at this moment.
She could not help repeating, "We tried to find new Order Badges and World Tombstones. Do you understand what that means?"
Yu Xunge, who had been about to urge Mountains Yudun to continue, paused. "I understood. You hunted Star Sea Players and Mountain Players together... Hmm? Wait, didn't she have Tombs of the World?"
Seeing that Zai Jiu Xunge genuinely seemed to have no intention of passing judgment on their willful behavior, which could only be called madness, or judging their respective "betrayals" of Star Sea and Mountains, Mountains Yudun visibly grew a little more pleased.
"They were all used up," she explained. Perhaps because she so rarely encountered someone other than herself who did not judge them for this behavior, she could not help saying a little more. She was not defending herself; she was merely unburdening herself.
"What do the futures of Star Sea and Mountains have to do with us?
"This universe, that Order Pendulum swinging back and forth, Star Sea and Mountains locked in a struggle where only one side can survive-none of it is our fault or our responsibility. Why should we devote ourselves to this endless, senseless catastrophe?
"What right do Star Sea and Mountains have to be our ideals?
