Peaceful Days

"Griseo, are you alright?" Blanca asked worriedly.

"Griseo is fine, Mama Apponia was protecting me the whole time."

"Apponia... Mama?" Blanca twitched her lips and ruffled Griseo's small head.

"I told you this place was safe, Griseo would definitely be fine here," Hen shrugged.

"Hm? Kira, where are you two going?" Hen asked as he saw Yoshikage Kira and Pardo walking out.

"Ah? It's Brother Hen! My phone just exploded! Isn't that strange? We're going to ask the Boss to buy me another one."

"Oh? What a coincidence, my phone exploded too. Shall we go together?"

"Sure, Boss. Then let's call Sister Vill-V too."

Within the Golden Courtyard, Vill-V was once again busy constructing the Spiral Workshop.

"Hmm... this needs to be reinforced. Oh? The Assistant is here."

"Sister Vill-V, did your phone explode?"

"Explode?" Vill-V patted her pockets and indeed couldn't find her phone.

"Even I would get a headache from this. Remember to tell me in advance next time."

"Hm? What do you mean, could it be... the Boss did it?"

"...That's right. The Assistant only told you he has a Stand, but not its abilities."

"Let's talk as we walk, there are others waiting outside," Yoshikage Kira suggested, glancing at his watch.

"So, this happened, and then that happened," Vill-V explained to Pardo on the way.

"Wow! Boss is so amazing, much more amazing than I imagined!"

"Hmph hmph, little Pardo, Yoshikage Kira can instantly kill a Herrscher. The last time with the Herrscher of Thunder, she was gone just from him touching her," Elysia said.

Is that the power? The power that can sever the threads of fate, Apponia mused thoughtfully.

"Heh heh, Mr. Yoshikage Kira probably destroyed our communication devices to protect us. Everyone, feel free to pick whatever you like, and put the bill under my name."

"Really, Sister Elysia! Then I won't be polite!"

"Pick whatever you like, little Pardo."

[The Herrscher's outbreak and the changes in the outside world seemed to have no impact on everyone.]

[We continued to chat as usual, sharing the little things that happened in our lives.]

[This is it, the appearance of peaceful life.]

[In the days that followed, the Golden Courtyard was built, and everyone was once again shocked by Elysia's financial power.]

[Mei successfully incorporated the Poisoned Pupae and shuffled the personnel, appointing Sakura and Chiyou as captains, while Himiko, due to her own circumstances, could only act alone.]

[Chiyou, for some reason, began a battle of wits with his adjutant.]

[Su, due to his outstanding performance in the battle against the Herrscher of Knowledge, was appointed Deputy Minister of the Fifth Scientific Department by Spasibo.]

[At the same time, Su also served as a psychologist for groups similar to Chiyou.]

[His work was fruitful, and Su was affectionately called 'that blind man' by Chiyou.]

[According to memory, there is a 5-year gap between the Seventh Honkai and the Ninth Honkai, and the Eighth Honkai erupted only half a year after the Seventh Honkai.]

[That is to say, humanity has 4 and a half years to breathe.]

[But you know, this was the Honkai pulling a big one.]

[If the gravity field of the Herrscher of Rock could affect itself, then it would be powerless to stop the sinking of the Mu Continent.]

"What's wrong, Mr. Yoshikage Kira?"

"...Elysia, is the Mu Continent your homeland?"

"Yes, is there something wrong?"

"No, I was just curious."

"Boss! I'm hungry again!"

"...Didn't we just finish eating?"

"But I want cake!"

"..." Yoshikage Kira reluctantly got up to make cake for Pardo.

"Assistant, I want one too!"

"Yoshikage Kira, don't forget mine," Elysia said as she saw Yoshikage Kira preparing to make cake and asked for one too.

"Aren't you afraid of getting fat, Elysia?"

"How rude! You can't say that to a girl! You know, beautiful girls don't get fat."

"...Just don't come crying to me later."

He also made one for Griseo and Ling afterward.
