Hikaru stood at his palace gate, just staring calmly, gazing at this group of houses built with spiritual energy.
This was merely luxury he obtained without effort.
Hikaru himself knew all this was definitely an illusion. From now on, he had more important things to do.
Utaha was always the most talkative among the three of them, and also the girl most willing to express her emotions.
She rarely saw Emperor Shin so cold toward them.
Utaha, who always liked seeking praise and also liked acting spoiled and cute, this time truly couldn't restrain herself.
She folded her hands across her chest, snorting softly.
"Why, hmm, did I make Hikaru unhappy again?"
"The earlier problem was only because you two were silent, so I looked foolish."
"Alright, alright, I won't talk about the earlier problem with you. What drama is this again?"
Utaha seemed to be speaking with the other two girls, but actually she was truly talking to herself.
After saying this, she jogged slightly, preparing to move forward.
Fortunately, Kazusa quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
She was still as gentle as usual, thinking to explain to her.
"Utaha, you also saw that Hikaru is different from usual, right? We've been with him for so long, you must have some mental preparation for his plan!"
After saying this, Kazusa turned and looked at Yomi who stood very calmly beside them.
Yomi saw those two pulling each other and arguing indifferently.
She always knew Hikaru wouldn't always accompany them like this.
So she always greatly valued the time they spent together.
Yomi understood Hikaru very well. She saw the difference between their destinies in an instant.
She felt that having an encounter like this with Hikaru had already become a ray of light in her life.
Yomi slowly opened her mouth: "Let him go. What we must do is protect what we must protect."
Like Yomi, Kazusa definitely knew in her heart.
Although not as clear as Yomi, she was far more meticulous than Utaha's careless nature.
"Yeah, my childhood friend is actually Emperor Shin and we ultimately aren't on the same path..."
After saying this half sentence, Kazusa also fell slightly silent.
In contrast, Utaha still didn't understand the current situation, feeling these two were talking about riddles she didn't understand.
"What are you two talking about? I don't understand."
Utaha slowly released Kazusa's hand that had been holding her back.
She found a chair beside them, and sat casually, because she seemed to have a premonition this was something that couldn't be resolved in two or three sentences.
So she just sat and listened slowly.
Yomi saw Utaha's appearance and knew the other party definitely didn't understand.
She patiently explained again.
"You should know how big the level difference is between Emperor Shin and us. Unprecedented changes have appeared on the Dimensional List, and Emperor Shin's mission has begun."
Utaha, who was still impatient earlier, understood in her heart when hearing such words. Her affected nature also directly disappeared.
Because everyone knew this was a difficult battle, and also a prolonged battle.
Hikaru naturally also trusted those three girls.
He closed his eyes, and slowly raised his body with spiritual energy.
A pair of golden feather wings suddenly shone on his back.
This was the earliest form of movement for him, because the place he chose was only slightly distant from where Shana was born.
That pair of golden wings slowly enveloped Hikaru's entire body, as if giving him a layer of protection.
Then the wings opened and he directly shot into the air current.
His destination was Tendōkyū!
Golden light streaked quickly through the air, no one noticed it.
At this moment, Hikaru had already arrived at Tendōkyū's gate.
Upon landing, the golden feather wings quickly disappeared, not even leaving the slightest light.
"Shana, I've been waiting for you too long!"
Although Tendōkyū was a place full of traps and tightly guarded, all this was merely small tricks in Hikaru's eyes.
Hikaru didn't enter through the gate at all. He wanted to save unnecessary time.
The place he landed was an empty outdoor courtyard where Eve was born.
Tendōkyū and this name didn't match.
There was no meaning of Yin and Yang separation. Hikaru actually found it very beautiful. Mountain and water scenery complemented each other, with pavilions and towers.
Wilhelmina and Alastor, who were at the place Eve was born, didn't realize at all that danger had arrived.
