In fact, Aurora had already vaguely sensed that Sunset Shimmer had a very secret longing for the world on the other side of the mirror. She had thought that by spending more time with Sunset Shimmer during this period and giving her more things to do, perhaps she would dispel those rebellious thoughts.
As it turned out, she still chose that path.
Aurora took a deep breath, then casually dropped the box containing the glasses and the letter, and started running with a destination in mind, calculating the distance in her mind as she ran.
Then she cast Teleportation Magic and appeared in a room.
"Sunset Shimmer!"
Seeing Sunset Shimmer standing in front of the mirror with a bag on her back, Aurora let out a sigh of relief.
'Thank goodness, I caught up; it's still in time.'
To prevent this worst-case scenario, Aurora had long prepared a contingency plan. She had calculated the time when the crystal mirror would open, so she had actually been on high alert for the past few days.
This morning, Sunset Shimmer had gone out with Twilight Sparkle, which had lowered Aurora's vigilance. If she hadn't left a letter in the door gap, Aurora would have really missed a detail despite all her precautions.
"Wow, you arrived faster than I expected. As expected, you were watching this place in advance, right?"
Sunset Shimmer guessed that Aurora must have used long-distance Teleportation Magic, which required pre-calculating the distance and spatial coordinates.
Evidently, among Celestia's three students, only Twilight Sparkle would seriously listen to her words and strictly follow them.
"...Why are you doing this?"
Seeing that Aurora's expression was not joking, Sunset Shimmer couldn't help but put away her playful attitude.
"The Princess wouldn't tell us about this mirror, so I went to investigate it myself."
"You snuck into the Restricted Section, didn't you."
"Didn't you go too? Don't think I don't know that after I left, it was your turn to go flip through the books in there."
"..."
There was no helping it; since the switch to the passage in the Restricted Section was two books printed with sun and moon patterns, resisting the urge to poke them required strong self-control.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh my! The three of us are so close; our relationship is just wonderful!
"That is a world completely different from Equestria; it's very interesting. I think I can find what I want there! But the Princess underestimated our abilities, thinking we couldn't do it..."
"The Grand Princess's decision is correct."
Aurora interrupted her increasingly dangerous statements, looking at her with some pleading, and slowly approached her.
"You also know that it's a boring world without even magic. Star Swirl the Bearded and the Four-Leaf Sage even used it as a trash can to exile dangerous magic."
"Goodness, Sunset Shimmer, I cannot understand why you are so obsessed with such a place."
"Yes, that's right, the lack of magic must be suffocating for you. But I think I can overcome that, and perhaps find a brand new path in another world!"
Sunset Shimmer, like a black swan who had discovered Omphalos, shared her views with Aurora as if presenting a treasure.
