"Leaving without saying goodbye like this... I feel a little sorry for Bronya." Sky, who had changed back from Starchasm Nyx, looked at Herrscher Mei beside her, feeling somewhat guilty.
After all, she had returned to Bronya's side as Seele, only to leave again after less than two days.
That was kind of inhuman...
"Don't worry. We left Bronya a note, didn't we?"
Herrscher Mei comforted Sky, though most of her attention was focused on her crystals. The side quest involving Bronya had been completed, earning her another ten thousand crystals.
She now had a total of 113,800 crystals.
Though she did feel a little sorry for Bronya, that was far too many crystals. At worst, she could find a way to make it up to her later.
"But still..."
Sky still felt guilty, but just as she was about to continue, Herrscher Mei suddenly raised a hand to stop her.
"Something's happening..."
Apparently sensing something, Herrscher Mei turned her gaze in a certain direction.
"Hm?"
Sky calmed down, a trace of confusion surfacing in her heart.
"It looks like the main quest is about to begin..."
Herrscher Mei sensed it carefully. In Nagazora City, the Honkai energy readings were rapidly rising.
"That... Pseudo-Herrscher?"
Upon hearing Herrscher Mei's words, Sky immediately thought of Yuno, the Pseudo-Herrscher who was about to be born in Nagazora City.
"Very likely... no, it isn't just her. There's something else going on." Herrscher Mei frowned slightly. Nagazora City's situation was more complicated than simply the emergence of a Pseudo-Herrscher.
"...Hm? Does it have something to do with the Twelfth Herrscher?"
Thinking about it carefully, aside from the Herrscher of Thunder and Yuno, the Pseudo-Herrscher who controlled poison and plant vines, the only people of note in Nagazora City were Yae Sakura and the Twelfth Herrscher.
