Chapter 84: Introduction of Pasttention (Part 4)
Hanuri and Silvana disappeared somewhere together, and Ixia, now a bit anxious, set off to find them. But before she could turn the next corner_
Vivi and Xixi appeared right in front of her.
Xixi (politely, hands together):
"Oh! Ms. Ixia, are you looking for someone?"
Ixia (a little embarrassed):
"Y-yeah… Did you see Silvana and Hanuri?"
Xixi:
"We just passed them! They went straight ahead. But… who is Hanuri?"
Vivi (thinking with a tilted head):
"Hmm… Hanuri sounds purple-ish."
Ixia:
"Well… yeah. She really is like her name a full purple theme."
Xixi giggles:
"Hehe~ Well, you can go now!"
Ixia:
"Ho ho~ okay dear. Have a nice day."
Xixi & Vivi (waving):
"Bye! Have a nice day too!"

Sudden Camera Slam
SLAP!
Silvana hits the camera like a WWE wrestler.
Silvana (annoyed):
"Oii! Don't get confused! The author forgot to confirm things so let me explain_
In our 'Sector Selection: Legacy of Legends' universe, name meanings matter!
For example, 'Iza' means Darkness, 'Ryu' means Mystery, and"
She doesn't finish, because_

Silvana:
"WAIT_-I wasn't done"

Scene Restores
Ixia wanders into a hallway, following voices.
She hears familiar laughter behind a slightly-open door.
She pushes the door open_
And finds Silvana and Hanuri chatting like they've been best friends for YEARS, even though they met 20 minutes ago.
Ixia (blushing, mildly panicked):
"O-oi Silvee! You didn't tell her my secrets, did yo"
She doesn't finish.
Because Hanuri LEAPS like LUFFY and wraps Ixia in a full-body hug.
Hanuri (sparkling eyes):
"No bestie, she didn't tell me ANY secrets! We just talked cuz I wanted to have funnnnnn~!"
Ixia (eyes wide):
"H-Huh? First get OFF me!"
Hanuri instantly makes a heartbreakingly cute face, voice trembling:
Hanuri:
"D-don't you… want to have fun? Is Hanuri so cringe everyone hates her…?"
Ixia collapses mentally.
Ixia (defeated):
"Ughhh okay okay okay! I'll play with you! Just give me space PLEASE"
Hanuri jumps back happily, literally glowing.
Hanuri:
"YAAAYYY! We'll have SO MUCH FUN! Let's have a night party together!"
Ixia:
"Huh? So that crying was acting?"
Hanuri:
"No! I really felt bad when you said you didn't want fun!"
Ixia internally:
Ixia (thinking):
Crying happily… where have I gotten myself stuck 😓
Ixia:
"Fine… but I don't drink, okay?"
Hanuri (confused):
"You don't drink juice??"
Ixia:
"I mean alcohol!"
Hanuri:
"Ohhh, I also hate alcohol."
Silvana suddenly leans in, eyes curious.
Silvana:
"Then-why don't you tell us your past? We want to know the reason behind your energy."
Hanuri smirks mysteriously.
Hanuri:
"Ohhh, I can tell you.
But… in the NEXT chapter.
So byebye~!"
She waves like a chaotic fairy and drags Silvana away.

Author Note:
