Journey to Vormir

Earth, Kamar-Taj.

"Mr. Yake, you're here. Master is waiting for you. Please follow me!"

When Elsa saw Yake arrive, she warmly pointed him in the right direction and led him to Robin.

"Darling, you're here! Elsa, go get back to your work!"

Yake watched Elsa leave before slowly saying, "The time is about right. It's time to retrieve the Soul Stone. Have Hancock and the others come over."

Yake took a deep breath. In truth, he had already prepared himself for failure. If Hancock could not retrieve the Soul Stone directly, then they could only wait for someone else to take it out, or else...

"No problem. Just wait a moment."

Robin nodded with a smile, her beautiful eyes shifting as both hands traced graceful arcs through the air. It was clear that Robin's mastery of magic had grown ever more refined.

The portal opened, and Anna poked her head through first. After confirming it was Yake, she immediately pounced onto his face and wriggled around.

"Anna! Enough! Why do you have to do this every time?"

Yake helplessly rubbed Anna's little cat head, then scratched the base of her tail. That was one of her sensitive spots. Anna involuntarily raised her rear, then blushed and released Yake, thumping his chest with her little fists.

"Darling, I missed you so much!"

Hancock had done a good job suppressing her longing. She merely clung to Yake's arm and refused to let go, while Shirahoshi stood beside them, looking sweet and delicate.

"It's all right. We won't have to be apart this time. Anna, Shirahoshi, these are for you. With them, you can stay with me forever."

Yake removed the Mind Bracelet and Space Ring from his right hand. The Space Ring was for Anna, while the Mind Bracelet was for Shirahoshi.
