[One hour has ended.] [Guidance in progress...] [This is the seventh lifetime. You only have one hour.]
The familiar system voice rang out, and Xiu Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
"A shattered mirror frames the moon, a lone boat sails a sea of clouds." A youthful voice came from beside Xiu Yuan.
Kazuha sat at the edge of the Southern Cross, admiring the moon as he improvised a verse.
He looked utterly carefree.
"Composing poetry again, are you?"
"Look what I brought you."
Then Beidou walked over from the deck, carrying a bottle of wine.
At the sight of the wine, Kazuha's eyes lit up, and his interest was immediately piqued.
"This guy still loves his wine just as much." Xiu Yuan couldn't help smiling at the sight.
Soon, he saw Kazuha decline the wine cup Beidou offered him and take out the teacup Xiu Yuan had once given him. "I brought my own."
"Looks like that teacup is destined to stay with you for the rest of your life."
Xiu Yuan slowly took out a tea set as well. It was also incorporeal, visible and tangible only to him.
The tea set should have contained six teacups, but now there were only five.
He would never be able to take back the cup in Kazuha's hand.
"That... isn't a wine cup, is it?" Beidou looked rather surprised at the teacup Kazuha had produced.
"It's a teacup," Kazuha explained.
"You drink wine out of a teacup?" Beidou asked in astonishment.
"Yes. This is the one I use."
Since Kazuha insisted, Beidou had nothing more to say and simply poured him some wine.
To Xiu Yuan's surprise, however, Kazuha stopped after just five cups.
"Seriously, Kazuha? You're stopping after only five cups?" Beidou asked, shocked.
"No more," Kazuha said
