Cloud Stone Market, " Pink Fairy " Milk Tea Shop

Fulisina and Tribbie stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Wow, so many people.

Xing and March 7th stood obediently behind the bar, watching this scene with delight.

Not long ago, Fulisina took out a magnifying glass and examined the gold-plated trophy, which was a scaled-down version of herself, but found nothing.

Just as this " Eternity " Emanator was sprawled out on the cold floor, rolling around and crying and screaming... Tribbie pushed open the door of the milk tea shop and witnessed the whole scene.

"Ahem..." I call upon you, Oronyx —stir up the wave of " Enigmata "!

Fulisina tapped Tibo on the head with her Tribbie, trying to save face.

"Priestess, why are you reciting the Oronyx's Prayer? And something feels off..."

"Speaking of which, March 7th, why don't we give the store manager position a second chance?" Xing nudged March 7th, who was watching the show.

"Sure, but there's no pay."

"Hey~ We're like family, talking about money just hurts our feelings~"

Xing waved his hand. Being able to eat and drink well in Okhema, living in the private bathhouse of the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace, and occasionally risking his life to fight the Titan, this life was already very comfortable.

On the other side, Fulisina was still looking at Tribbie, "What brings you here this time?"

"Ah... 'we' have come to buy breakfast for Aya!"

"Breakfast? Teacher Tribbie, we run a milk tea shop..."

March 7th walked to Tribbie's side. Usually, on the Astral Express, the Conductor and Ye Yan were in charge of breakfast.

Sometimes, for convenience, I still eat canned food... Of course, this isn't ordinary canned food; it's canned food sealed by Teacher Ye Yan using the " Eternity " divine power!

To exaggerate a bit, that whole box of canned food might be older than her, dating back thousands of years to the Amber Era. Only she, the Galactic Gourmet Little March, would dare to eat it.

Of course, the addition of " Eternity " means that the production date and shelf life of this canned food are no longer important.

The scene shifts to Janusapolis, the " Abyss of Fate ".

Trianne stood with her hands on her hips below the Sanctum of Prophecy, followed timidly by Trinnon.

"Ugh..." She shook her head in some 'pain'.

"What's wrong, Trianne?"

"It's nothing! It's just... I was reminded of the Grove incident again. The black-cloaked monster was terrifying. Everyone, if you encounter danger... it's a nightmare I can't forget."

Ever since the star cast that " Eternity and Beauty " prayer on her, Trianne felt her mindset indirectly change, and her determination to protect everyone grew stronger.

"Sweetie... there are no bad people here." Confused, Trinnon patted Trianne's head.

" Trianne, throw it far, far away, so it can never come back."

"The journey to Grove went smoothly, all thanks to Trianne. It's thanks to you that the Journey of Flame-Chase could continue without incident."

Trianne rubbed her eyes, still not fully awake. "Sorry, Trianne... I'm still a little dizzy. Why did 'we' come here?"

"Of course, it's for the same reason. Remember? Tomorrow, 'we' will reveal the past of the Prophecy to everyone."

"But before that, we must first clear away the Remembrance that have become clouded by division. 'We' hope to present the truth to everyone as it is, without concealing anything."

"But the division was ultimately Janus's doing, and Oronyx has already fallen. We can only try our luck at the Sanctum of Prophecy."

In other words, Trianne and Trinnon came to the temple to pay homage to Oronyx.

"Oh, I see... What about Tribbie?" Trianne asked again.

" Tribbie... is preparing a clear-headed breakfast for Aya."

Trianne's eyes lit up. "Oh! That's how it is! Trianne remembers everything!"

"Speaking of which... before the Titan' sacrifice, 'we'd better prepare some saffron."

"Saffron? Oh... that's an essential item for the Temple of the Three's sacrificial rites. You feel you can't go to see Oronyx empty-handed?"

"Yes. It's also one of the symbols of Janusapolis. If we're going to recreate those Remembrance, 'we'd better have something that has stood the test of Years as a foundation..."

"And, when we first met Aya, 'we' put this in the porridge we made for her, and she loved it. And the High Priest's milk tea..."

"I see, killing three birds with one stone!" Trianne understood again, and then fell into a memory:

"I remember when we first met Aya, she said she liked the name Tribios; it sounded noble and beautiful, just like the clothes she wove."

"We asked her, 'Is this why you kept us here?' She shook her head and said, 'Mainly, I wanted to hear the teacher tell stories every night.'"

"Back then, Aya was a girl, afraid of the dark and ghosts. The thought of her dragging us into the kitchen to eat the leftover bread from dinner when she was craving something sweet made us laugh."

"Time is a sculptor, like Cerydra and Hysilens; now Aya has blossomed into such a beautiful young woman!"

Just as we always teach, Aya did not disappoint anyone. The golden threads in her hands were like a dense net, and no enemy could escape her fingertips.

"But those lurking Purgers ambushed our group on their return journey, and the assassin organization serving the Senate will never allow the Chrysos Heirs who can lead the Holy City of Okhema to grow up."

"But we are the same; we would rather sacrifice ourselves than stand by and watch a young hero perish—"

Trianne and Trinnon brought their thoughts back to the present, and the Remembrance of the past receded like the tide.

"However... that's on the condition that there are tools here that can recreate past Miracle..."

"This... is indeed a problem."

Looking back at history, the people who stole the Core Flame from Janus, Oronyx's closest relative... were Tribbie.

"We can only try this first. If there really is no other way... given 'our' current state, there's probably nothing we can do. We'll think of other solutions then..."

Trianne a plan. "Then, we can give it to Trianne to plead with that beautiful elven High Priest. Trianne is the best at playing the victim!"

"Anyway, let's go find Saffron first. Hopefully, there's still storage in the temple that wasn't destroyed by Nikador's soldiers and that 'storm'."

"I remember that ripe saffron was always sealed in jars..."

As soon as Trinnon and Trianne entered the temple, they were blocked by a giant cup of milk tea.

Wow~ What a huge milk tea cup...

"Milk tea? Why is it blocking the way?"

Trinnon pondered, encountering setbacks right from the start was very similar to their experience in the " Grove of Epiphany "...

"Now that things have come to this, let's figure out how to get rid of the milk tea first!"

Faced with a giant milk tea in their path, what will Trianne and Trinnon choose...?

Trianne put all her effort into trying to solve the milk tea problem using physical means.

"Ugh... it's so heavy. I should have called Little Little Grey and the others over."

Trinnon patted the milk tea cup; the amber liquid inside remained completely still. Could it be solid milk tea?
