A pair of light wings unfurled behind her as Michelle, the Church's Holy Daughter, prepared to set out.
A powerful hand stopped her.
"You want to go alone?" A warm, gentle voice came from Michelle's mentor—Miller.
Miller and Michelle came from the same lineage. When the power of hope appeared in this starry expanse, both of them naturally sensed it.
Of course, compared to the power of hope, the Decayed Civilization's Dim Radiance Prophet descending across space-time—and the aura of a different time and space he radiated—was far more obvious, at least to the people of the Church.
"This journey may be rather dangerous," Michelle said thoughtfully.
"That's precisely because it's dangerous that we should go together," Miller replied.

Among them were Nicole, with a Black Blade slung across her waist, and Kelly, covered head to toe in mechanized armor and heavy cannons.
Two other Level-8 Dominators with formidable auras were equally conspicuous.
