Aglaea: ???
Lygus's single sentence made her brain lag a little. However, this was definitely not because her thoughts had been guessed correctly. It was simply that this sentence had far too many complaints, so many that she couldn't even refute it.
Me? Aglaea? Worried?······Anaxa?
What the hell is this guy talking about? Are you joking?
How did these few words even form a sentence?
Who would worry about that simple-minded, physically strong, arrogant, rude guy? Don't make me laugh!
I simply feel that this expedition needs a demigod who has already inherited their authority to hold the rear, alright? Even if the one going on the expedition wasn't Anaxa, but Phainon or Castorice, she would still say the same thing, wouldn't she?
Castorice, who had been silently eating melon the whole time, saw Aglaea fall into silence. Although she still maintained the appearance of a cold and obedient girl on the surface, her inner thoughts were like:
Nani? Aglaea-sensei actually went silent? What does this mean? Silence······ Could it be that Lord Lygus was right?
Aglaea-sensei tacitly agreed?
Oh oh oh——! I understand now. There is only one truth! The truth of the world, I shall elucidate it with my intellect!
As expected of me!
The relationship between Aglaea-sensei and Lord Anaxa has always been one of loving and killing each other. Although I don't know what exactly happened between them, there is no doubt that this is a pair of tragic mandarin ducks!
Yes, definitely!
Castorice silently pushed up the glasses that didn't exist on her nose bridge. She felt as if a new world's door had suddenly opened: This layer of relationship really wasn't something she imagined randomly. The relationship between Aglaea and Anaxa was actually very complex and delicate in its construction.
Physically, Anaxa plays the man and Aglaea plays the woman. But emotionally, Aglaea's sense of responsibility is greater than her feelings, so even when they argue, she still worries about Anaxa's safety. Meanwhile, Anaxa only cares about feelings and only wants the two of them to stay together, which is why he became so heartless after the breakup.
Looking at it this way, emotionally it is actually Aglaea who plays the man while Anaxa is the little woman······ (ten thousand words of Castorice's imagination omitted in between). So ah, they are nothing more than another pair of tragic mandarin ducks.
Miss Stelle's previous suggestion really hit the mark by accident!
Aglaea/Anaxa: Why do I suddenly feel a bit flustered? Is it an illusion?
"Lord Tribbie."
At this moment, Phainon took the initiative to extend his hand and said: "I know everyone's concerns. If it really won't work······ how about letting these two team up one more time this time? Don't worry, I will definitely mediate in the middle and handle the relationship between them properly."
Tribbie shook her head: "This doesn't seem very realistic."
——"I want to go too!"
Another voice rang out. Stelle suddenly raised her hand, her face full of seriousness: "I also want to help go on the crusade against Nikador!"
She wanted to follow what Cyrene said in the dream and help the Chrysos Heirs complete the Re-Creation!
As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt somewhat surprised. Even Dan Heng and Sunday were no exception: Why did she take the initiative to stand up?
To the Chrysos Heirs, Stelle and the other two were travelers from beyond the sky. Letting them participate in the meeting now did indeed carry some intention of winning them over. But no one expected that Stelle would actually take the initiative to stand forward.
You have to know, crusading against Nikador is no small matter. One moment of carelessness and you could lose your life!
Dan Heng opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue. A helpless smile appeared on his face:
That's right. "Duty-bound" was probably this guy's most likable trait. From the space station back then to the current Amphoreus, this point had never changed.
Go then. If she wants to go, let her go.
Lygus was stunned for a moment. The next second, a sunny smile appeared on his usually calm face: "Miss Stelle, are you saying you also want to join us? This······ I really don't know how to thank you."
On the surface Stelle said: "It's what I should do, it's what I should do."
In her heart she actually thought: "Hmph, naturally evil Lygus little ghost. I already heard your true nature from Cyrene. Don't think you can fool me with this kind of attitude! You definitely aren't a good person!"
Lygus pulled Stelle into his arms in one motion and patted her head: "Thank you. As expected, beautiful girls never disappoint people."
Stelle: ???
"Don't just hug people without their permission, hey?"
Stelle forcefully pushed Lygus away and said with some anger and embarrassment: "I'm angry now!"
Lygus was slightly stunned. He then looked at his own hands, his tone self-reproaching and guilty: "······Sorry. I got a bit carried away for a moment. Please forgive my overstep. I'm truly sorry."
Phainon quickly changed the subject with understanding: "That's fine too. Now that we have a partner joining us, Teacher Aglaea and Anaxa definitely won't easily start conflicts again. They aren't unreasonable people. With a partner here, they will definitely put aside past grievances, right?"
Aglaea and Anaxa coldly stared at each other, then simultaneously turned their heads away: "Of course."
"······"
"Don't copy me when I speak! ×2"
Tribbie: "Will four people be enough? If not, 'we' can also take action and clear obstacles for you."
Mydei shook his head: "Lady Tribios, you are the holy city's greatest reliance. Even with a thousand people, guarding Okhema without a single drop leaking through would still be somewhat difficult. If we draw out another portion of manpower, then the Flame-Stealing Thief will very likely seize the opportunity to enter."
"Even my golden threads would find it difficult to play a substantive blocking role against that guy. Therefore, the task of guarding the holy city and the Coreflame still requires the two of us to personally keep watch."
"Flame-Stealing Thief"? Is it the Flame Reaver?
Stelle touched her chin and seriously analyzed this key piece of information. Her heart sank slightly: As expected, what Cyrene said was right. Amphoreus still hid secrets and tragedies.
Even in this version of Amphoreus, there was still a "Flame Reaver" who bore the mission alone?
Thinking of this, her gaze subconsciously turned toward Phainon. A trace of pity and sympathy appeared in her eyes: Snowy, even after arriving in this universe, you still have to bear so much alone? Sigh, I don't know how long this sunny big boy appearance of yours can still last.
"Eh? Partner, why are you suddenly looking at me with that kind of gaze?"
Phainon was a bit confused by her gaze and asked strangely.
Stelle let out a long sigh and gently patted his shoulder: "It's nothing. You'll know when the time comes."
Phainon: ???
"Alright then."
On the other side, Tribbie also reached her final conclusion: "Then this time, the task of crusading against Nikador will be handed to Phainon, Trailblazer Stelle, Aglaea, and Anaxa."
"May you advance hand in hand and bring back the Coreflame of that cowardly god."
"Che."
Aglaea and Anaxa snorted coldly at the same time. But upon noticing each other's identical reaction, they couldn't help feeling even more depressed: Why do we have to act together with this guy again?
