Everything in Penacony was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
Stelle and Firefly's date was interrupted by Sparkle disguised as Sampo, and secrets were exposed.
Robin waited for her chance, intent on uncovering Firefly's true identity, and began approaching "Death" despite her brother's warnings.
Himeko and Welt were following the trail to find the clockmaker's legacy.
Aventurine and Dr. Ratio were also waiting for their opportunity, while Sunday had laid a trap for Aventurine.
Acheron had yet to enter the stage, and Gallagher's plan was slowly moving forward.
The arrival of Zhang Xiu and Yaoshi seemed to have brought no changes to this land of dreams, only a few harmless surprises.
But was that really the case?
Inside Penacony's Grand Theater, Yaoshi stood at the very center and spat a golden sphere from her mouth.
Once she had finished, she walked over to Zhang Xiu.
He was currently observing Firefly and Stelle's movements through a telescope made from Path Power.
The eye Stelle had seen earlier through the telescope beside Clockie had belonged to Zhang Xiu...
And once their plan began, everything would change. Everything would be overturned.
Interrupting the two girls' date seemed a little too unromantic, and far too contrary to [Abundance].
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Stelle is such a top. Firefly should just be a good girl and be the bottom."
"Taiyi?" Yaoshi blinked, thinking of a certain fallen god.
"I'm not talking about an Aeon. Anyway, honey, have you finished debugging everything?"
"Creation and craftsmanship are ready. They await only our hands to make them bloom. My true self is also prepared to descend upon this place."
"...Honestly, even now, I still haven't gotten used to this plan. It's just too crazy."
"Wilt thou blame me?"
"No. I support you. That's never changed." Zhang Xiu shook his head.
