Inside Jade's private guest room, which was also the Jade Pawnshop's room, Aventurine wore a peculiar mask, his entire body radiating golden light. Fortunately, the door was closed at the time, so no one outside was disturbed.
Under Theresa's smiling gaze, Jade and Topaz watched Aventurine's golden-glowing body in surprise. His appearance began undergoing an entirely new transformation, while the Aventurine cornerstone he had recovered fused with him.
In other words, with the Masked Fool's help, Aventurine had integrated the Power of Preservation from the Aventurine cornerstone into his body! He was now beginning to advance toward becoming an Envoy of Preservation.
It was only a weakened version of the Aventurine cornerstone, so Aventurine was still weaker than many Envoys. However, he was at least far stronger than ordinary Pathstriders.
"Hmph, hngh, aaahhh~"
Aventurine groaned as his body began to change. His attire became even more extravagant, and an inverted Ace of Spades appeared on his chest. His coat grew more ornate, decorations resembling peacock tails extending from its hem. One trouser leg was teal and the other blue, while a peculiar top hat rested on his head. The Masked Fool mask on his face also transformed into a strange new mask.
Aventurine's new form~
"Mm, not bad, not bad. Pretty handsome, actually. Let me give you a nickname—Joyful Aventurine."
"Next, Sparkle will be pulling something big on this ship. Aventurine, I need you to pull something else for her, like getting in her way and stopping her antics without damaging this ship."
Theresa knew that Sparkle would later place many mutually assured destruction devices on the Trailblazer's Tail—that was, bombs and Sparkle Dolls that looked very much like her.
So Theresa could not be bothered to slowly search for them herself. She simply had Aventurine cause trouble for Sparkle
