There were traces of an Aeon on the Xianzhou Luofu?
Fu Xuan's attack paused along with her thoughts. Taking advantage of the moment she froze, Kafka and the others disappeared from the Divination Commission.
"Master Diviner."
Along with the shout, Fu Xuan came back to her senses. Looking in the direction where the Stellaron Hunters had vanished, she gave orders to the Cloud Knights on standby.
"Notify Jing Yuan. The Stellaron Hunters have completely escaped. Immediately seal off all realms near the Divination Commission."
The Cloud Knight who received the order quickly left.
Fu Xuan walked to the place where the Stellaron Hunters had jumped down and stared blankly at the clouds below.
Were there traces of an Aeon on the Xianzhou Luofu?
The answer was yes.
Taking the most obvious example.
That thing which had practically become a landmark of the Luofu.
The Ambrosial Arbor.
It was a trace left behind on the Xianzhou Luofu by the Abundance Aeon, the Plagues Author.
As for other things...
Since the Xianzhou followed the Hunt, traces left behind by the Reignbow Arbiter's arrows still remained in corners of the Luofu.
That also counted as traces of an Aeon.
But the "trace" Kafka mentioned was most likely neither of those.
Otherwise, she would not have brought it up. There would have been no need.
"Some Aeon..."
Fu Xuan shook her head, feeling somewhat tired.
Not long ago, the Lord Ravager Phantylia had just been dealt with under unclear circumstances.
And now another unknown Aeon had appeared, hiding somewhere on the Luofu.
Judging from the fact that the other party still had not shown themselves.
It was most likely not that madman Nanook of Destruction coming for revenge.
"I should still inform Jing Yuan about this."
"No need. I've already heard it."
Jing Yuan's virtual projection suddenly appeared before everyone.
After nodding to Fu Xuan, he shifted his gaze to Welt, March 7th, and Stelle.
He had already met Welt and March 7th before, so his attention was mainly on Stelle.
Facing Jing Yuan's direct stare, Stelle looked back fearlessly.
After carefully observing her for a while, Jing Yuan did not notice anything special and withdrew his gaze.
"I already heard what the Stellaron Hunters said earlier. Since their goal is to let the Astral Express and the Xianzhou establish friendship, and it just so happens I have something I need to ask of you all..."
Welt spoke up, "Please, go ahead."
Jing Yuan looked up toward the Ambrosial Arbor and continued, "Regarding the Stellaron matter, although the Stellaron Hunters have cleared themselves of suspicion, the Stellaron's whereabouts are still unknown..."
Even though he did not finish speaking, Welt understood what Jing Yuan wanted the three of them to do.
It was the same as the purpose for which they had come to the Luofu.
To find the Stellaron on the Luofu and completely seal it away.
"The three of you may be able to investigate the place where the Stellaron Hunters were hiding. Perhaps the Stellaron is hidden in some unknown corner there."
"Don't be fooled by the current prosperous appearance. The Luofu isn't safe right now."
Meaning, there were two dio people eyeing him.
"Oh?" Ruan Mei kept her eyes forward while appropriately making a curious sound.
Levi leaned his upper body against the railing. Ruan Mei stood beside him, constantly recording data on her terminal. Around them floated many projections that were hard to understand.
Levi analyzed on his own, "The Luofu's Stellaron incident is common knowledge."
As long as that thing was not removed, the Luofu could not be considered out of danger.
If he had not dealt with Phantylia, the Luofu's crisis would probably already be nearing its end.
Unlike now, where nobody knew where the Stellaron was hidden, making it difficult to search for.
The Luofu was so large that a carpet search would probably take several days.
But Levi guessed that thing was most likely in the hands of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
"There's also the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus hiding in the shadows."
Logically speaking, with something this huge happening on the Luofu, why had they not come out to stir up trouble?
When the Stellaron had just activated, they had shown themselves once at the Divination Commission.
After that, it was as if they had vanished.
During this period, there had not been any news about the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus on the Luofu.
It was like they had all died out.
But that was obviously impossible.
The Disciples of Sanctus Medicus were like cockroaches. Even with bug spray, there was no guarantee you could wipe them out completely.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
"Time to get off work!"
The jade abacus gave its prompt right on schedule. Levi immediately jumped into the Scalegorge Waterscape.
Ruan Mei paid no attention to his departure. Looking at the data displayed on the terminal, aside from Scalegorge Waterscape itself...
In the entire ancient sea, there was not even the signal of a single living thing...
"No, maybe my method of searching is wrong."
Did that thing even count as a living creature? Did it possess the characteristics of life? Could instruments detect it?
None of those questions had answers.
Looking toward Levi swimming back toward shore, a deep look appeared in her eyes. Nobody knew what she was thinking.
———
[Back Home]
Levi changed into a clean set of clothes and placed the Jizo Mitama on the table.
[Levi: @Elysia]
[Levi: Finished training yet?]
[Elysia: Wait a moment!]
She said wait a moment, but Levi ended up waiting almost an hour. Just as he was about to go alone first.
Elysia finally finished.
The two of them sent requests to Kiana one after another.
———
[St. Freya Academy, Valkyrie Dormitory]
Kiana's dorm room was unusually lively.
Kiana, who had just been driven out of the kitchen, returned to the living room carrying a plate.
Seeing Bronya playing games, she was about to join in.
Ding! Dong!
A notification sound came from the chat group.
Seeing the transfer request that popped up, Kiana found an excuse to go outside before agreeing to let Levi and Elysia come over.
The moment she saw Kiana, Elysia stepped forward and gave her a huge hug.
She even gave her a small kiss on the cheek.
"Be wary of lesbian MOTH girls."
Seeing this, Levi commented.
"Oh my~ how can you say that about me~" Elysia let go of Kiana, puffing up her cheeks as she looked toward the decent-looking Levi beside her.
"?"
"Every time we meet Kiana, it's always during some dangerous situation. This is finally a gathering without any danger, and you're not allowing me to be a little closer?"
"Or could it be..." As she spoke, Elysia's eyes lit up. "You're jealous!"
Unfortunately, jealousy was all he could do.
Because...
"Elysia's embrace is currently only open to cute girls~"
Meeting Elysia's smiling narrowed eyes, Levi crossed his arms with a calm expression. After leaving behind a sentence that struck Elysia like a bolt from the blue, he walked toward Kiana's dorm room.
"Shrimp head girl steaming shrimp heads."
"..."
In the end, it was only after Kiana reminded her that Elysia chased after the already distant Levi.
Looking at Levi's back getting closer and closer, a fierce glint flashed through Elysia's eyes as she clenched her little fists.
"Hah!"
Levi suddenly dodged to the side. As Elysia passed by, he stretched out a leg toward her butt.
Bang!
Hearing the commotion outside, Raiden Mei, who had come out to get something, thought Kiana had returned.
So she stepped forward and opened the door.
But the person outside was not Kiana.
Instead, it was someone she completely did not recognize. Long pink hair, with a faint perfume scent around her.
She did not know the brand, but it smelled very nice, giving people a pleasant feeling.
The size of her chest was unusually impressive.
Just judging by size... it felt bigger than her current self.
Soft and springy to the touch.
As for why she knew these things...
