Ten Thousand Nations Continent, hillside at the Starship exit.
Seven-Leaf stood up in confusion, "Why did only Heliotrope come back?"
Grass Dragon immediately said, "I guess that Illusory Color Flame Spider named 'Snow Velvet' showed up as promised."
Lupine: "Heliotrope came back alone; must be carrying a message."
Silvergrass: "What message?"
Lupine: "Greetings. Then, requesting a trade—mutual exchange of Divine-Grade Fruits, high-quality Divine-Given Origin Force Food, and other precious goods of equal value..."
They were chatting idly when Heliotrope crawled out, turned, and looked at Seven-Leaf. "Seven-Leaf Lord, just as expected, the Snow Velvet Spider King has arrived. Snow Velvet Spider King asked to speak to me alone and informed me of some matters. I need to report to the Aconite Spider King in private!"
—In private?
Immediately, the surrounding spiders asked:
—Where's Red Peach?
—Where's Column Spotted?
—What is it about?
—Is it important?
—What can't be said?
