Qiu Baiyang had not come into contact with Heartmoon Fox for the first time. Her impression of that golden-furred fox girl was that she was fairly reliable when major matters were at stake.
But she also knew full well about the destruction Heartmoon Fox caused while causing trouble all over Rongcheng on ordinary days. Especially after her arcade had caught the fox girl's attention, Qiu Baiyang had once fallen into a panic of, Is this little brat going to dismantle all my arcade machines?
Fortunately, it later proved that she had merely been playing around.
What Iris said also provided a clue: Heartmoon Fox had been extremely proactive regarding matters related to this Otherworldly Space. Not only had she given Hyacinth a whole pile of useful items, but she had also specifically guided Lilac into it through the spatial rift to take part in the investigation and provide support.
Did that mean she knew this Otherworldly Space extremely well?
"...That possibility you mentioned can't be ruled out."
Lilac nodded, then immediately added,
"But I still feel that if we just go looking for Heartmoon Fox like this... wouldn't that be a little too hasty?"
"It is a little hasty, but we don't have any other good options right now." Qiu Baiyang sounded helpless.
If they found Heartmoon Fox, perhaps they could obtain detailed clues about that Otherworldly Space. She might even help investigate it with them.
If that were the case, perhaps Heartmoon Fox...
With that thought in mind, Qiu Baiyang turned her gaze toward the magical screen before Nightingale, which was broadcasting Hyacinth's battle in full. She carefully examined the other "Qiu Baiyang" in the Otherworldly Space, who looked so much like herself.
Half an hour later.
There was no suspense in the battle within the Otherworldly Space.
