"Achoo~!"
"What? Did you catch a cold?"
Seeing Yowane suddenly let out a big, unladylike sneeze, Shokuhou pulled out her handkerchief and asked Yowane with concern.
"It's nothing, I just feel like someone's watching me."
Although she didn't know if it was a malicious gaze, her 'sensitive' nerves, honed by Gaia, Alaya, and Hades, told Yowane that someone definitely had ill intentions towards her. However, many people harbored ill intentions towards her; she couldn't sense the weaker ones, but she could feel the powerful ones. In this world, there were only a few truly powerful individuals.
"Is it the Hanged Woman? Or the Anglican Church? Forget it, whoever dares to mess with her, I'll kill them."
Thinking this, Yowane began to pull Shokuhou along for a stroll. Shokuhou, who had originally intended to ask more questions, was brushed off by Yowane, and in the end, she could only let it go.
"Ruo Yin, eh~! You're here too."
Just as the two were strolling, Mikoto, somehow knowing Yowane's whereabouts, 'coincidentally' bumped into them. However, seeing Shokuhou next to Yowane, Mikoto's face twitched.
"Oh la la~! Misaka-san, what kind of attitude is that? How barbaric and vulgar."
Compared to Mikoto, Shokuhou was even more displeased. Her perfectly good time with Yowane was interrupted by this 'light bulb' who could generate electricity. It was practically making her want to cry, wasn't it? Why was it always her? Thinking this, Shokuhou's gaze towards Mikoto grew increasingly unfriendly. If Yowane hadn't been there, she would have directly used her ability to summon thousands of people to gang up on this fellow.
"Tch~! Today, I'm not here to argue with you. I have something to discuss with Ruo Yin."
Mikoto scoffed dismissively at Shokuhou. She wasn't afraid of this person's ability at all; this person's ability had no effect on her. Although it could be particularly annoying, she wasn't intimidated. She could just give this person some 'electrotherapy' and solve everything.
"Alright, you two, stop bickering. Mikoto, you go first! What exactly do you need me for?"
Stopping the two, who were full of gunpowder, Yowane asked Mikoto. She was also very curious now, what could Mikoto possibly need her for at this time? The 'Misaka Sister' incident? First of all, the time wasn't right yet, and she hadn't heard any reports from the Misaka Sisters about contact with Misaka Mikoto, so that could be ruled out for now. So, what could it be?
"Actually~!"
Enduring Shokuhou's 'murderous' gaze, Mikoto began to explain her situation with an embarrassed expression.
"You want me to be a swimsuit model?"
Yowane, who had initially thought it was something major, looked at Mikoto with an incredulous expression after hearing her words. What was going on? Did you take some 'limited edition gekota' from a manufacturer or something? How dare you try to drag me into this?
"I'm really sorry, I just wanted to go with Ruo Yin. If I've caused you trouble, I apologize."
As she spoke, Mikoto looked at Yowane with expectant and uneasy eyes. To be honest, Yowane felt quite pressured being looked at with such an expression.
"I…"
"Agree to it!"
Shokuhou's sudden interruption instantly froze the already awkward atmosphere. Yowane didn't know what Shokuhou was thinking, to actually make her agree to her sworn enemy's invitation. Aren't you two supposed to be like fire and water?
Mikoto was also stunned. She had expected Shokuhou to object, so she hadn't expected her to actually help her. It was such an unexpected move that Mikoto couldn't quite process it. However, neither of them probably knew what Shokuhou was thinking at the moment.
"I can enjoy the benefits, I can take advantage of her, how can I not agree?"
Thinking of that wonderful scene, the Queen's heart was pounding with excitement.
"Alright! Let's go!"
It was just like wearing underwear and a tank top in her previous life; she didn't feel much shame, and besides, she wasn't repulsed by it now.
"Okay, please follow me."
Mikoto glanced subtly at Shokuhou and led the way. Her intuition told her that this person wanted to cause trouble, and it was definitely not a good thing. But since she had already been invited, she would just keep a close eye on her later.
While Yowane was having fun in this world, another world was in chaos.
"Is there something wrong after all?"
Adam looked at the people dying one after another. From the very beginning, she had asked Alaya for a huge cubic space cube, intending to use this divine artifact to gather all the harmful organisms on the discovered planet into one place for easy cleanup.
"It's basically cleaned up, so why can't we sustain life? Is my method wrong? Or can this planet truly not accommodate humans?"
"Mother Goddess, did I do something wrong?"
Looking at the pitch-black sky, Adam said with a touch of sadness.
"No, I can't give up like this. Otherwise, how can I reclaim Mother Goddess from Father God? I must work hard."
Thinking this, Adam clenched her small hands and began to ponder and search for the source of the problem.
In ancient Greece, Hestia was currently looking at the twins in front of her with a helpless expression.
"How many years have I told you not to shoot arrows here? You two just don't listen. Look at my temple; it's full of holes you've 'shot.' If this continues, no one will be able to live here."
Hestia held her aching head, looking at the already dilapidated temple. One must know that she had made it herself with many rare materials. To have it ruined by these two little rascals, it almost collapsed.
"Sorry X2"
The two said simultaneously. Although this had happened many times, every time they saw a bow and arrow, they couldn't resist trying it out. This resulted in the current situation, which they couldn't change no matter what.
"Apollo, as the older sister, you must set an example. Don't lead your younger sister astray next time."
Finally, Hestia, unable to bring herself to punish the two children, just let it go. Moreover, she had been very busy recently. With Athena's offensive launched, she and her elder sister and second elder sister's subordinates were fighting an inseparable battle, barely managing to maintain a stalemate. She didn't know what had happened, but the Saint Seiya under Athena had actually achieved a substantial increase in strength, which was now giving the Five Sisters a huge headache.
"I wonder where Hera went? She's missed several meetings, and Big Sister is very displeased."
After instructing the divine servants to continue repairing the temple and to keep an eye on the two sisters, she began to fly towards the Underworld. Their current situation was not optimistic at all. There was a big one above (Gaia) and a small one below (Athena), which was truly infuriating, but there was nothing they could do but explore little by little.
"Big Sister, I'm here."
Looking at her cold Big Sister, Hestia greeted her, then found a seat and sat down.
"Hera, still not here."
Hades looked around at the other three and said coldly.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter without her."
"I have decided to launch a sneak attack on the Celestial Realm."
As if giving up, Hades said this, and then a message popped up that instantly stunned the three of them.
