The purple flower continued drifting forward. Knowing its destination, Iluna realized she had found the key to this great battle and chased after it even faster. The chaotic, bizarre space seemed to be filled everywhere with battles between Skin Objects and Doppelgangers, but those monsters appeared unable to see the flower and did nothing to stop it.
But they could all see Iluna. Whether Skin Objects or Doppelgangers, they showed obvious hostility toward the living, but once the golden Sunlight Gun roared, neither Skin Objects nor Doppelgangers could stop her.
Iluna sometimes felt as though she were running through that blood-red city, and at other times through locked cabinets and empty racks hung with flesh puppets. The item Miss Feliana had left behind could not possibly be related to the Doppelgangers, so while fighting off enemies, Iluna paid particular attention to scenery connected to the hall.
The flower did not lead her very far. It seemed able to find the shortest route through the chaotic space. After a post office covered in countless eyes abruptly vanished before Iluna, the flower finally stopped in front of a slanted metal shelf. The Skin Objects and Doppelgangers battling beside it were melted away by the Sunlight Gun. Iluna quickly pulled out the only suitcase remaining on the bottom shelf, only to unexpectedly discover that it was locked.
"Of course. If it weren't locked, the Skin Crafters in the hall would have taken what was inside long ago."
The flower merged into the Black Handbag on its own, and with a click, the case opened. Iluna quickly searched through it and found the only faintly glowing item amid a large pile of documents and materials.
"A Crystal Ball?"
Holding the Crystal Ball in her hands, she suspected it was intended for Luvia or Bella
