Phainon first approached the group of " Stranger," " Handmaiden," and " Healer." When asked about their wishes, the " Stranger " were the first to respond.
"Yo! The World-Saving's here?" " The Stranger " waved at him. "My wish? That's simple! I just want to eat and drink, take walks, bask in the sun, and live this kind of life for another thousand years."
"Otherwise, it would be such a waste to spend a lot of money only to not be able to spend it before death!"
" Shut-in Princess, you agree, right?" She looked at the " Handmaiden " beside her.
" Your Cipher, that's not what I meant."
"My wish is... to find the missing part of my life, to feel the warmth of being embraced by someone. I've already experienced that feeling; it's my most treasured memory."
"As for the money you've saved up... Your Cipher, you've used your divine power to amass so many treasures, haven't you spent a single penny?"
"Hey, how can you talk like that? I never would have guessed..." " Stranger " said, hands on hips, "You really know how to hit a nerve."
"Where's the girl from the Grove?" Their gazes shifted to the " Healer."
"My wish was fulfilled long before I even set foot in the 'sky,' transforming my healing power into warm sunshine, which I equally distributed to every life I cherish and love."
"You two are really 'selfless'... No wonder Aglaea pulled you into the Flame-Chase so early on."
"Speaking of which, I remember now! I actually had a thought once: I wanted to experience what it was like to be a noblewoman born into immense wealth."
" The Stranger " chuckled wickedly, "If I could switch places with that seamstress, if I were a high-class young lady and she were a poor woman, a thief, let's see if she could still be the person she is today!"
"As for me, maybe I'll become 'Sai Goldweaver ' too!"
Upon hearing this, both the " Healer " and the " Handmaiden " couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Pfft—"
"These are all wishes that make you want to smile... So are they having a tea party?"
"I feel a little awkward joining the conversation... but that's what I think too."
"These wishes aren't heavy things; on the contrary, they're like the candy wrappers that the children of Aedes Elysiae love, shining even brighter in the sunlight."
"Embraces," "healing," and... well, how do I describe "a life without constraints"?
"In short, it can be understood that they want a gentler world."
Next came the echoes of the second set of Oracle Card— " The Weaver " and " The Gatekeeper ".
"Should I speak of a wish? I have no personal wish, only the ideal of Re-Creation... However, if I could weave a new future, I hope that Canis and her Purgers would never be able to enter."
"These ugly insects are not worthy to appear in Okhema again under the guise of 'human rule'."
"This... young lady from a wealthy family? Her words send chills down one's spine..." Phainon shivered.
"She is a selfless person."
"Really? I can't quite tell from your voice..."
The Weaver looked down at the Gatekeeper: "My master, why don't you also tell me your wish?"
" Little Bai, at this point, are you still going to ask about 'our' wishes?"
The Gatekeeper looked towards Phainon's location. "I want to reunite with Trianne, who was the first to leave, in the sea of flowers at the End of the West Wind."
"Then, Aya, I want to see you truly let go of the cocoon of your heart spun from gold, and smile at 'us' one more time, like that bright-eyed girl in the white dress before the temple of Janusapolis."
Finally, may the footsteps of all those who have lost their way no longer falter, but be replaced by the bright song of prayer.
"Isn't 'our' wish a bit greedy? Let's just say we made three wishes on behalf of Trianne and Trinnon!"
"These all sound like wonderful wishes, and even I feel a longing for them."
"Then we can rest assured, because this is a wish that only you can fulfill for us."
Phainon was slightly taken aback, "Only me...?"
"Okay, Little Bai, remember that! We..."
"See you tomorrow!"
Xing, who was standing nearby, felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart for some reason when she saw this scene.
Phainon came up behind the " Scholar," but before he could speak, the " Scholar " spoke first:
"Ah, Phainon, my good student, do I need to repeat what I left you with?"
"Remember this: I dislike the word 'wish,' because it represents weakness and groveling before the gods."
"I have completed the work I was supposed to do; all that is missing is for you to take the final step in putting that ultimate proof into practice—"
"I, Anaxagoras, will become the god of the new world. I will prove to mankind with irrefutable doctrine that mortal thoughts are sufficient to accomplish divine deeds."
Phainon scratched his head, "Is he... a little...?"
"I only occasionally fantasize about heroic tales, but he actually fantasizes about becoming... Titan one day?"
"Keep your voice down. He'll be your teacher from now on. His dreams depend entirely on you to realize them."
"This is really a complicated feeling... Can I Guild that confidence from him?"
"My friend, are you serious? Am I really going to be entrusted with such a fantastical ideal?"
Phainon suddenly felt a little confused; it was really strange.
Finally, there was the " Sovereign," who, upon seeing Phainon, first gave a cold laugh.
" Phainon? Why do you look so timid and hesitant, even asking such a childish question as 'What is your wish?'"
"Huh? What did I do wrong? Is there something wrong with me? It's you who's acting so condescending right from the start..."
"Hey buddy, don't tell me I'll become pretty close with this shirtless, arrogant guy in the future?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you two are really close. The kind of closeness where you've even taken a hot bath together."
Phainon gasped, "Terrible... My future self has this kind of hobby? What will I go through?"
"What are you talking to yourself about? Never mind..."
The " Sovereign " shook his head. "The wishes of the warriors of the Kremnos Clan have all been fulfilled. As for me—"
"Having faced countless deaths, he still couldn't withstand the sword piercing his back—from the Flame Reaver in the black mask."
" Phainon... never mind, you look so confused, you probably don't understand anything at all."
"Let me tell you my current wish: if I have the chance to duel him, I will demand that he fight me fair and square, and I will personally cut off his mask."
"Killing and dying all the time, this person's desires are truly barbaric."
"But the anger in your eyes is just like that of the arrogant royalty described in the book... I've remembered that wish."
