Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace, Star's Private Bath Palace
It's called a private bathhouse, but it's actually a three-person bathhouse for the " Trailblaze " team.
"Long time no see. I heard about what happened to you from Phainon... You must have had a tough time." Dan Heng stepped forward and said with concern.
"Oh, my two friends, I've missed you so much!"
Xing pounced on him and gave him a bear hug, but actually not much time had passed; with the " Gate of Myriad Paths," it was only a few days.
March 7th naturally hugged Xing, saying, "Waaah~ I missed you so much too!"
"... It seems you two have suffered quite a blow."
Dan Heng commented from the side, "No matter what, it's good that he wasn't injured."
"The two of us?" Xing turned to look at March 7th. "What happened to her?"
"Hehe~ A scoundrel from the Garden of Recollection tried to trick us out of our Remembrance of ' Eternity,' but the priestess who descended from the sky chased him away!"
On March 7th, mimicking the scene from that time, a silver star appeared at the " Pink Fairy " milk tea shop. The strong are always aloof, and Fulisina didn't say a word, directly taking away the troublemaking bad Memokeeper!
You should learn from the " Eternity " spirit Emanator action; no wonder passersby tremble at the mere mention of the name " Church of Eternity."
"Has the power of ' Remembrance ' also taken advantage of the situation...? Is Black Swan the only good person in Garden of Recollection?"
Xing rubbed her forehead. Garden of Recollection had many tricks up her sleeve, but the " Trailblaze " Astral Express was much more honest!
"When I wasn't around, March 7th was selling milk tea. What were you doing?" Xing asked.
"While organizing the logs, I also obtained some research materials on the Grove from Hyacine."
"I've discovered something very interesting. Remember? The skies of Amphoreus were sealed off by a Titan, Aegle... It's what keeps this world isolated from the heavens."
"And Hyacine's ancestor... seems to have been a Aegle's Sky. Perhaps he can provide more clues to finding a way back to the Astral Express."
Dan Heng stroked his chin. "These past few days, there haven't been any unexpected events in the Holy City, and I haven't had to deal with anyone. Being alone isn't so bad."
"Hehe~ Teacher Dan Heng, you're in trouble if you say something like that."
Xing rubbed his hands together with a wicked grin, preparing to reveal the black-robed swordsman's 'true identity' to Dan Heng and March 7th...
"With the Grove incident, there will definitely be several more upheavals to come. Since things have come to this, let's rest for now."
"You look exhausted. You should get some more sleep before we leave tomorrow..." Dan Heng suggested.
"... By the way, I've heard some rumors... If you're going out for a stroll, I suggest you avoid the hot baths first."
This special reminder from Dan Heng, on the contrary, ignited Xing's inner Trailblaze spirit!
"Receive!"
Xing Dan Heng bowed respectfully, and in the next instant, he disappeared from the bathing palace without a trace.
"Sigh~"
Dan Heng didn't say anything. Even if he hadn't said that, given Xing's habits, after traveling for several days, she would definitely have chosen to take a bath to relieve her physical fatigue.
March 7th, standing to the side, looked worried, recalling her experience at the " Pink Fairy " milk tea shop not long ago...
"Huh? You want me to keep this a secret? Teacher Ye Yan, what does this mean?"
On March 7th, he stared blankly at Ye Yan.
"To be honest, Miss March 7th, my every move is being watched by a few colleagues."
Ye Yan said with a 'serious' expression, "We must keep this a secret. It's too early for us to make our appearance now."
"Huh? The situation in Amphoreus is too chaotic. They've even brought in the Aeon?"
"There's nothing to worry about." Ye Yan waved his hand. " Miss March 7th, let's not even talk about being enemies with the Aeon. We might even have to fight ancient beasts in the future!"
"Oh dear! How terrifying! Can we really survive the War of the Aeons?"
" Miss March 7th, rest assured," Ye Yan's tone softened again, "I assure you, as long as ' Eternity ' exists, ' Trailblaze ' and their faction will not perish."
"Ah... Teacher Ye Yan suddenly said something like that, does he mean he's going to sacrifice himself in the future?!"
Ye Yan chuckled at this remark, then stood up, leaving only a dashing silhouette in front of March 7th: "Try reading less novels, Miss March 7th."
"This magical Six-Phased Ice must be kept safe. It's a one-time use item; just throw it at any difficult enemy you encounter in the future."
Ye Yan's words before leaving echoed in March 7th's ears, and she took out the [∞] -[∞]-Type Six-Phased Ice again.
"Disposable... items?"
Some time ago, Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace
Tribbie suddenly opened her eyes, " Trianne...?"
"What's wrong... Is there trouble at Grove?" Aglaea asked.
"Yes. A feeling flashed by, but was incredibly strong... They seem to have encountered some serious trouble."
"... Trianne used the ' World-Splitting Gate ' again."
Tribbie clenched her little hands, her voice filled with worry.
Can you see the specific images?
"No, it's as blurry as usual. But the enemy's presence has disappeared; perhaps they've moved to a safer place... maybe."
"Hopefully it's just a false alarm. Trust Xing and Castorice, my master. The High Priest just set off for the Grove; they will protect Trianne."
"Why are you treating 'us' like children, Aya? One day, Trianne will reach her limit, Tribbie will take over the role of ' Gatekeeper ' from her. We all know that."
"I'm just... a little worried about her mental state. Before we set off, Trianne could barely even read short sentences..."
"At least let 'we' say goodbye properly."
"... I will pray with you."
"Thank you, Aya. We'll have to trouble you to come with 'us' to the bathhouse this time to relax... Hey?"
Tribbie's words came to an abrupt halt; she seemed to have sensed another scene.
"Riding the west wind, let's set off!"
First came Trianne's voice, and then Tribbie witnessed her battle with the black-robed swordsman in the Grove.
"Ah, Aya... pinch me right now..."
Tribbie reached out and nudged Aglaea; what she saw was truly outrageous.
"My teacher?" Although Aglaea didn't understand, she still did as she was told, squeezing Trianne's small hand.
"It hurts... It wasn't a hallucination after all."
Tribbie shook her head, wondering several times if she was hallucinating.
If you let Nikador, the " Strife " star, see this, he'd probably be dumbfounded.
In the scene, Trianne is seen flying high in the sky, frantically attacking the black-robed swordsman with a rocket launcher, switching between ranged and melee attacks. Her kiting skills are absolutely top-notch.
Even though the black-robed swordsman was wearing a mask, Tribbie could sense the helplessness and exhaustion on his face. Who says short people don't have a height advantage?
Your opponent can't catch you at all, and you can constantly harass them—all of this can be achieved with just a pair of wings.
Meanwhile, the great Galactic Baseballer has left the private bathhouse and is heading towards the hot tub...
