(...Well, I just remembered that there might be double monthly tickets at the end of this month... It seems pretty worthwhile to save them until then, right?)
Shilin Apostles were always composed, but even they had moments when they could barely contain their excitement—anything involving the Homeland World and the origins of their race was certainly enough to stir them. This was the first time I had seen someone as calm as Sandora look so rushed. The report from the Engineering Team made her want to rush to the site that very second, as if being delayed by a few seconds might make her miss the chance to unravel the mystery of their origins. Even so, I tried my best to calm her down a little. At the very least, we had to tell the family first, right? Once we set off, we would be heading for the Empire's far frontier.
After hearing about the Engineering Team's discovery, my sister and the others showed immense interest as well. But aside from Viska and Qian Qian, everyone else said they could obediently stay behind and watch the house. Ice Sister and Qian Qian were the sort who considered missing any excitement a waste of life. The moment they heard we were heading into the far frontier for an investigation, they stubbornly wormed their way in. Qian Qian handled me, Viska handled Sandora, and the two of them forcibly squeezed themselves into the team.
In the end, we also had to bring along one unexpected little troublemaker: that little doll insisted on coming too.
"Idiot, you haven't taken me out to play in ages!" The little doll fluttered onto my shoulder, tugging and pulling at my head while speaking with perfect righteousness. She had completely assumed the role of a spoiled daughter.
