"Either way, it's not the first time."
Xu Qi recalled that they had already crossed paths once, back when the 956 Incident had first broken out. More precisely, it had been Mei who fought her.
"What happened to that purple-haired schoolgirl? Did you sleep with her and then abandon her?"
The corner of Raven's lips curled into a cold smile. Clearly, she believed Durandal had defected to Schicksal because she was involved with Xu Qi.
Her guess wasn't wrong. Her ideas were just a little too traditional.
"No. I told her to stay home and rest while she's pregnant."
Raven's expression froze for a moment. That girl, who looked no older than nineteen and still had such a schoolgirl air about her, was actually... pregnant?

No one wanted to die, especially Raven. She only wanted to live well—and she had to live well.
Xu Qi barely needed to ask. She told him everything she knew about Cocoilia, laying it all out in one go.
That also allowed Xu Qi to confirm something.
The ability to manipulate gravity had indeed not come from Cocoilia herself, but from an extremely special weapon—the Key of God: Star of Eden.
"The inspiration came from the New Humans raised in Cocoilia's many orphanages... Their abilities varied wildly.
You should know that better than I do, Kafka."
