Shinshiki's reaction upon seeing the Divine-Grade Fruit was exactly what Ryūshiki had expected!

Ryūshiki said, "Did I give you a fright? To tell you the truth, this fruit came from Mitsuki Country!"

Shinshiki said, "Mitsuki Country!! Didn't Kaguya conceal that land? Even the All-Seeing Eye Sacred Tool couldn't locate it!!"

Ryūshiki said, "Well, here's what happened..."

Shinshiki said, "What... Kaguya's descendant accidentally revealed that land's location while wandering through the stars?"

Ryūshiki continued.

"Yes. Quite the coincidence, wouldn't you say? That little fellow called Toneri got tired of wandering and hitched a ride on a passing asteroid. Who knew he'd run into Urashiki halfway there? He was a spineless sort, too. In the time it took to fry an egg, he spilled everything~."

Shinshiki said, "Hah, such poor conduct is only to be expected of a mere Lower God's descendant!"

Ryūshiki continued.

"After that, Urashiki learned that Mitsuki Country was cultivating a God Tree Fruit and wanted it all for himself. But he was wary of the natives there, so he informed Momoshiki and Kinshiki, sending those two in as cannon fodder while he reaped the rewards..."

Shinshiki said, "That certainly sounds like Urashiki's style. But are Mitsuki Country's natives really that strong? Urashiki may be weak, but surely he isn't that useless."

Ryūshiki said, "As it turned out, Urashiki made exactly the right move. Those natives really did wear down and kill Kinshiki and Momoshiki, father and son, while Urashiki stole this fruit amid the chaos."

Shinshiki said, "Then... how did this fruit come into your hands, my lord?"

Ryūshiki said, "As you know, Urashiki is my lackey. How could any of his movements escape me? I intercepted him along the way. In light of his devoted service all these years, I spared his worthless life."

Shinshiki's expression shifted.
