She knew Kiana was interested in her proposal, and she also understood why Kiana was hesitant to agree.

I don't want to take advantage of myself like that.

I felt it was too much trouble for her.

The Nightingale didn't see this as a burden; Kiana was her friend, and she was more than happy that Kiana was willing to study music with her.

However, Kiana's thoughts must also be considered.

To relieve Kiana of burdens and pressure, you need to give Kiana a reason not to feel burdened.

The Nightingale has just that reason.

"Like Kasli -VIII?"

Reminded by the Nightingale, Kiana's eyes flickered as she recalled what she had said to the Nightingale in Kasli.

She was probably truly convinced by herself.

Yes, just like you said.

The Nightingale said firmly, "Plant the seeds of peace and hope in everyone's heart, and when everyone longs for peace, peace will surely come."

"This is the principle you taught me."

Kiana.

Sirin, listening intently, felt increasingly uneasy. How could such reasonable words come from Kiana's mouth?

And it was Kiana who said it to this the Nightingale lady?

They kept saying 'Kasli,' but what kind of place is that, and what happened there?

"I hope you can join me in putting this into practice, and together we can share our sentiments with more people."

The Pipixian, disguised as the Nightingale, spoke these words with utmost seriousness. To outsiders, it might seem somewhat comical, but Kiana the Nightingale was saying such things, and she pursed her lips, feeling an indescribable sense of emotion.

How could she not see that this was the Nightingale an excuse the robin made up to ease her own burden?

The Nightingale... how gentle they are.

I never expected that the Nightingale I met by chance would consider me such an important friend.

He still remembers his own words so clearly.

The Nightingale's request is no different than none, for all she asks now is to spread her fame further.

Saving other worlds and bringing hope to those in disaster is also a very meaningful act for her.

So...

Kiana reached out her hand to the Nightingale.

Realizing she had agreed, the Nightingale reached out and grasped her hand in delight. "You agreed, right?"

"I don't think I have a reason to refuse."

"This way we can take action together, which is great!"

The Nightingale was very happy.

Seeing the delighted the Nightingale, Kiana's smile grew even brighter. Remembering a certain phrase, and looking at the Nightingale holding her hand, her gaze hardened slightly as she returned the grip. "The strong help the weak."

The Nightingale paused for a moment, its eyes sparkling as it looked at Kiana's radiant smile. It tightened its grip on Kiana's hand, then laughed as well.

"Yes, let's join forces to help the weak."

They want to share their heartfelt wishes, hopes, and courage with more people around the world, and help those who need their assistance.

Kiana... was actually willing to accompany her on the path of Harmony.

Finding like-minded companions is not easy. Even if they believe in the same Aeon, the Pathwalker have different understandings of destiny. Some differences in their beliefs are so great that you might doubt whether they are actually following the same path of destiny.

Just like her and her brother on Sunday.

Even though they were siblings, both children of the same family, she always understood that her brother and she had different beliefs.

Of course, this will not affect her relationship with her brother. They both know what they are doing and understand each other's thoughts.

They are working hard for the Paradise.

The Nightingale understands that it's normal to encounter people who are on the same path as you for a while on your journey of fulfilling your destiny and ideals.

But she still had a feeling she couldn't quite put her finger on; perhaps it was because she was looking forward to it, and Kiana had truly responded to her expectations.

What does "the strong aiding the weak" mean?

However, this wasn't just a private moment for the two of them, and Sirin, who was a little confused, finally couldn't help but chime in.

Kiana had just resigned herself to a period of mutual support with the Nightingale was still beside her. Embarrassed, she withdrew her hand from the Nightingale's Sirin scratched her head awkwardly, "Sorry, Sirin, I was a little neglectful of you just now."

Sirin was somewhat bothered by being ignored, but now she was more interested in what she and the Nightingale had just been talking about.

Sirin waved her hand to stop the Nightingale who wanted to apologize to her like Kiana did, and said, "What were you talking about just now? Kiana, you've given up on participating in the war, haven't you?"

Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Yomi.

Give up?

Kiana glanced at the Nightingale instinctively, and the Nightingale looked back at her with a slightly embarrassed expression.

It was obvious that she was thinking about what happened in Kasli again, and knew that 'safety' and such were just excuses to deceive others and prevent them from worrying about her.

What she wanted to do.

Those worlds may not be like Kasli -VIII, but the probability of danger is certainly not zero.

The internal conflicts within the planet are manageable.

But the Nightingale is not intimidated by difficulties, and the planets it seeks to help are certainly not just worlds like Kasli.

Besides the three well-known pests.

The star core can also be the cause of a world's destruction, and her former homeland, her mother...

"Well, 'using the strong to help the weak' is exactly what it sounds like. I have power, and I can use that power to help the weak and those who need it."

Sirin looked at Kiana in silence.

Does Kiana really think she's as easy to fool as she was back in Izumo?

She had been to Penacony and had naturally done her homework on family and Harmony; how could she not know the saying, "The strong help the weak, and the dead protect the living"?

What confused her was that the Nightingale had been trying to stop Kiana from accepting her good intentions for the first half of the story.

Why did the second half turn out like this?

No, weren't we just talking about singing? Why did we have to bring up the topic of the strong supporting the weak?

"But aren't we looking for Lightning Sprout?"

Looking at Kiana, Sirin swallowed her words, and said coldly, "Aren't you going to look for Raiden Mei?"

"Find it!"

Mentioning Raiden Mei, Kiana became much more lively and energetic. "Of course I have to find her! Isn't the reason I'm doing this to build up my reputation so I can find Mei more easily?"

Sirin hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed, "It's fine as long as you've thought it through."

Fine, as long as Kiana doesn't actively seek trouble with the Abundance Alliance and the Antimatter Legion, Kiana can do whatever she wants.

Other dangers are unlikely to harm her.

... I guess so.

Sirin felt that she couldn't control Kiana on her own. She didn't want to find Raiden Mei so soon, but looking at Kiana, she suddenly missed her.

If it's Raiden Mei.

Kiana will definitely take her words to heart and remember them.

Sirin thought to herself with a hint of helplessness.

Enemies are just a side issue; Kiana is more interested in learning to sing with the Nightingale.

After all, she had absolutely no prior experience.

I wonder the Nightingale will later find her hopeless and hopeless.

Each of them had their own concerns, and although they were talking about the same thing, they were all on completely different wavelengths.

The Nightingale took them to Penacony for two days, both of which were peaceful and ordinary.

Kiana hadn't even heard any rumors of 'death,' and without specifically seeking it out, she hadn't triggered a single event in the Land of Dreams.

The two days went smoothly, but towards the end, something went wrong with Sirin —no, I should say Ark.

Although it wasn't a huge deal, it still required Sirin to go back and handle it herself, so she could only reluctantly say goodbye to Kiana.

Before leaving, I repeatedly reminded you to check your messages and stay in touch, unlike when you added me as a friend before.

It often takes ten days to half a month.

After Sirin left, only Kiana and the Nightingale were left together, the Nightingale was preparing for her concert.

Kiana also joined in to help.

She actually has a tiny bit of an idea about music, really just a tiny bit.

That's the theme song for game characters.

Her memory is excellent now, and with the help of the musical genius the Nightingale, it's not difficult for her to reproduce those theme songs from her Remembrance.

Success or failure...

Kiana was unsure.

However, all of this will have to wait until the Nightingale's concert is over. Only after the concert is over will she tell the Nightingale about her embarrassing thoughts.

And as we prepared and planned each thing, time flew by.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

A lot has happened in the past six months, but nothing particularly special has occurred.

Everything was proceeding according to plan.

The only regrettable thing.

Kiana never found any news about Raiden Mei, not even a single clue, as if she never set foot in the bustling galaxy.

Don't get close.

So there was no reaction at all.

Otherwise, it simply doesn't make sense that after more than half a year, there has been no news about Raiden Mei, whether through the company's bounty or other channels.

And today, no less.

In an unknown, war-torn, remote galaxy, something very important happened to Kiana.

A transport ship bearing the company's logo was parked somewhere in the galaxy.

Those guys who intercepted the transport ship, those enemies who clung to it like maggots, were annihilated into ashes by a blood-red slash.

Admittedly, with just one strike, all the enemies vanished from sight. However, this same strike also slashed a hideous and terrifying wound into the transport ship, which had only been partially damaged.

The survivors who had escaped were nervously swallowing, exchanging bewildered glances, not daring to look at the woman who had just made her move.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to thank the woman for saving them or to blame her for slashing the valuable transport ship to a pulp.

They're just employees!

The transport ship and the supplies on board are valuable, but even if you sold them all, you still wouldn't be able to pay off the debt!

Now everything is gone.

"Well, thank you so much for saving my life, my friend. I'm Dekker, the company specialist in charge of transporting these supplies."

It's impossible to blame anyone. I barely escaped with my life. Even if I'm sold by the company, it's better than falling into the hands of those swarms of Denizens of Abundance who are like locusts.

Moreover, if this man's sword can cut a transport ship into such a state with a single strike, he can certainly cut them to smithereens with a single strike as well.

Just like those monsters that were annihilated by the blade, not a trace was left.
