Castorice was very confident in her self-introduction just now.
Because of her body's "touch of death" mechanism, Castorice usually tried to reduce going out to avoid accidentally killing innocent Okhema citizens. Therefore, her contact with outside things was extremely limited.
Even this part-time winemaking job was one that the [Golden Lion] gentleman Mydei had found for her.
Normally Castorice basically stayed in her small house, reading manga and playing games. Over time, the communication methods in manga and games became her default for normal interaction.
So she did not feel at all that there was anything wrong with her self-introduction just now.
The corner of Stelle's mouth twitched: "I-It's fine, no problem. Please continue."
Castorice cleared her throat lightly, took out a black notebook from her pocket, and said: " 'Death Note,' that is the name I gave it. At first I feared this power that could take away others' lives just by writing their names, but Lady Tribbie enlightened me and taught me to accept it, control it, and use it."
"Therefore, I learned to use the Death Note to bring peace to the holy city. But my dreams do not stop there."
Castorice stared at Stelle with sincere and bold eyes, speaking excitedly: "You come from beyond the heavens. That means there are still places in this world that need me to save. Once the story of Amphoreus ends, I want you to take me with you to the world beyond the heavens."
Oh, so that's it······ Stelle calmly picked up her water cup and took a sip: "Small matter, small matter."
Castorice: "I want to create a new dawn for the galaxy as a 'Shinigami.' I want to create a beautiful world without evil!"
Castorice grew more and more excited as she spoke. She stood up, spread her arms, and bathed in the sunlight: "Because the power in this world is ultimately unequal. The strong can become stronger, but the weak have no way out."
"I think the perfect system for the world should be seven rest days······" "If people are born weak, from which god should the weak seek peace?"
"Pfft—!"
Stelle seemed to choke. She suddenly sprayed out a mouthful of water. To avoid spraying it on Castorice's face, she deliberately turned her head······ and sprayed it all over Dan Heng's face.
Sunday: 〒▽〒
"Wait, Castorice, wait······" Stelle wiped the water from her chin and hurriedly interrupted.
Wasn't this topic heading in a very wrong direction? What is this doing to me? Am I still in Ena's dream?
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Castorice looked at Stelle innocently and blinked.
Of course there's a big problem··· Stelle complained inwardly and said: "The dream is very good, but don't do it next time. Don't you have any slightly more ordinary dreams?"
"Something like being an ordinary person, living peacefully, being able to embrace the person you like, being able to touch the occasional small Chimera you encounter, no longer having to stay alone in a room, and no longer worrying about tomorrow······"
Dan Heng beside them silently nodded: Although Stelle always said some inexplicable things, her values were quite upright. She was an absolute role model among the Nameless.
Hearing Stelle's words, Castorice clearly thought seriously for two seconds, then shook her head: "An ordinary person··· perhaps in the future I will learn to understand that choice, but right now, I only want to be a 'hero.'"
"Loneliness is a required course for heroes." Castorice said earnestly: "Because a hero must ultimately become the sun in the sky. All things grow under his light, and all evil has nowhere to hide."
—"Achoo!" Sunday suddenly sneezed.
What a chuuni butterfly······ Stelle sighed, but inexplicably felt relieved in her heart.
Castorice··· the reason she thought this way, was it the chain reaction caused by Amphoreus having no Black Tide threat?
It was probably that. Mm··· but this wasn't bad either?
"Sorry, did I get a bit too excited just now?" Castorice changed the subject: "You don't need to answer my request immediately. The Flame-Chasing Journey has only just passed the halfway point. If the timing is not right, it may still take several hundred years to gather all the sparks."
"Give me your answer then, alright?"
Castorice dragged a wine barrel over from the table and smiled: "This is our first formal meeting. This is the wine I brewed myself. Please try it?"
Dan Heng very politely accepted the wine barrel and poured a cup for each of the three on their side. He asked casually: "We heard outside the restaurant that Miss Castorice's wine is unrivaled in Okhema. Is there some special technique?"
Castorice smiled: "Actually, I don't know why they say that. The entire production process is no different from others. It's all fresh grapes stomped with feet and then uniformly fermented······"
The cup Dan Heng was bringing to his mouth suddenly paused: Stomped with feet? No··· there was nothing surprising about that. Although it didn't sound very hygienic, it was indeed a legitimate ancient winemaking method.
Dan Heng was not a pedantic person, but the one who stomped the grapes with her feet was sitting right across from him. Just thinking about that scene felt somewhat awkward······
— "Gulp gulp."
While Dan Heng was still considering whether this was proper etiquette, Stelle had already tilted her head back and gulped it down in big mouthfuls. After finishing, she boldly wiped her mouth: "Burp~ Delicious."
Dan Heng silently pushed his own cup toward Stelle and began asking about serious matters: "Miss Castorice, we have only just arrived at the holy city. Even though Phainon and Lady Tribbie··· and the others have already explained to us one after another, it is still very difficult to digest such a huge amount of information all at once."
"I just want to know one thing. If Amphoreus gathers all the 'sparks,' what effect will it have on those of us inside it?"
Stelle only needed to eat, drink, and have fun, but Dan Heng had to consider much more.
He had not seen the script, so he was extremely cautious with every step in Amphoreus, afraid that one careless move would repeat the tragedy of the Five Laughs from back then.
Castorice shook her head: "This··· I don't know either, because no one has seen Re-Creation. We only know that after Re-Creation, the maddened Titans of Amphoreus will return to calm and the world will be at peace from then on."
"As for the results of Re-Creation, I'm afraid even Lady Tribbie and the others may not know. With my experience, I only know two ways to inquire about related information."
Castorice: "The first way is to ask the Titans who are still on our side. They are the gods of this era and definitely know something."
Dan Heng nodded: "This method is feasible, but we are outsiders after all. It definitely won't be easy to meet beings like the Titans, right? What about the other method?"
Castorice: "The other method is to ask Lord Lygus."
"Lord Lygus is the oldest wise person here. If you ask him, there will definitely be an answer."
