In the end, Sparkle exchanged contact information with Jiang Yu anyway. She couldn't help it-"Aha's Private Photos" were simply too tempting. Sampo had mentioned them before, but he had never shown them to her or anyone else at the Tavern.
Jiang Yu seemed very enthusiastic about sharing "Aha's Private Photos" with anyone interested or anyone who knew some of the inside story. The instant they exchanged contact information, he found the relevant photos and sent them to Sparkle.
Sparkle opened the photos in excitement. There was a whole series of them, showing what Aha was doing.
First, she saw several masks, then a pitch-black humanoid creature lying facedown on a bed.
Beside it stood another pitch-black humanoid creature wearing a mask. They poured a strange solution shimmering with psychedelic colors onto their hand. An object resembling a segment of an insect's limb was soaking inside the container holding the solution.
Sparkle kept scrolling. The masked black humanoid placed their hands on the prone black humanoid and began rubbing. There were even more photos after that.
It looked like... the Elation God was getting a spa treatment...
Meanwhile, aboard the Astral Express floating far away in space, a red Cat Cake sitting on the Express's sofa, Little Aha, quietly put on a mask without eyes.
Then he knocked himself on the head with his tail.
"Meow, meow... I can't bear to look..."
How outrageous. Why did that little menace show other people everything?
The real Aha, who had possessed Little Aha because it seemed fun, thought this to themself. They had been watching all along, and had just seen Jiang Yu showing someone else their "private photos."
Where was Idrila?
