As Mimi recalled that legendary event, a warm wave of pride and nostalgia washed over her. It was like… in a sense, Marshmallow wasn't just her companion. She was truly her beloved child.
"Wait—wait, wait, wait! You mean… the Tower of Light event is going to begin again soon?!" Mimi blurted out, her fur practically bristling in excitement.
"Yes," said Siamelumis with a calm nod.
"And when will that be?" Mimi leaned forward, ears perked high.
"Around ten years from now."
"Ten… years…" Mimi muttered, her tail flicking back and forth in thought.
Siamelumis's voice rumbled with quiet authority as she went on.
"So, if you manage to complete the trial and once again reach the top five, you can obtain another Orb of Divine Light of Creation. With that orb, we would be able to fuse it with Marshmallow's very data—thereby legalizing her existence in this world."
"Oh! I see…!" Mimi gasped, her eyes sparkling wide.
And just like that, her new goal was set in stone.
