The corner of Cheng Yu's mouth twitched at what Dile took out, and he promptly asked System a question.
Hey, System, do you recognize what this guy's holding? (‧_‧?)
"Yes. The Sands of Time." ( ¬､¬)
*...*
"..."
What does it do?!! Are you really this dumb?!! Getting an answer out of you is like squeezing toothpaste!! Did you catch a virus?! ヽ(｀⌒´メ)ノ
"You didn't ask what it did!!! I'll answer however the hell I want!" ＜(｀^′)＞
"Besides, you've pretty much guessed it already, haven't you? It lets him go back to before he left Kashi Star, with his current memories intact." ╮(﹀_﹀")╭
Hmph! That's pretty impressive, but why does it feel a little beneath an august figure like Big Shot? (｀･д･′)
"A little impressive? It severs every thread of cause and effect, prevents any parallel worlds from being born during the reversal of time, and teases out and rewinds its user's own time within the vast river of time without affecting any of the adjacent, intertwined timelines. That's insanely impressive, okay?!" (一 一✧)
Oh!! ...Well, knowing Big Shot gave it to him makes it feel pretty normal. (￣▽￣")
"True." (๑•́ ₃•̀๑)
Dile put away the hourglass and continued.
"Logically, our first step shouldn't be this risky, but the first step is also the hardest to take. It would be a real shame to give up just like that!"
Ning Qing smiled.
"We believe in you."
Tang Lan smiled too.
"What Xiao Qing said."
Bennett remained as cool as ever.
"I don't mind. Anywhere works."
Cheng Yu spread his hands.
"Same."
Dile smiled.
"Good! Then it's settled! That's our Azure Dragon Study Group's first objective!!"
Everyone except Cheng Yu and Ning Qing immediately scowled.
Don't ruin the mood!
Afterward, Cheng Yu and the others headed for the shuttle ship terminal.
