"Secret?" Angel asked in confusion.
Laplace glanced at Greipnir, then transmitted to Angel, "I'll tell you later."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Greipnir seemed to catch Laplace's look and asked Lita, "Have you truly decided to leave Crystal City?"
Lita remained silent, merely turning his head to look in the direction of the endless snow-covered mountains.
Though he gave no answer, his silence revealed that he was still conflicted inside.
Perhaps he was unwilling to leave just like that, or perhaps he still harbored some faint expectation in his heart.
Greipnir fell silent for a moment, then sighed softly. "I understand. Come with me first."

As she spoke to Lita, Greipnir took out a thick, bound crystal-shell book and handed it to Angel. "This is the exhibition catalog for this gathering. As for its specific functions, later it will be—"

The moment Lita heard that, the hair on his head stood
