When they returned to the border again, the girls no longer had the initial excitement, but were replaced by a deep sense of uneasiness.

"...Where are you going today?"

"We are going to the sewers of the royal city..."

At this point, Eriri looked desperate. One of the places she least wanted to go was the sewer.

Helpless... Every time the girls go to investigate, the place is decided by drawing lots.

"What about you, Asuna?"

"We are going to the Holy Tree. It sounds like a good place."

After all, it’s called the Holy Tree, so it shouldn’t be too bad.

At least it should be much better than the underground cave full of giant ants.

The girls talked to each other for a few words, and after deciding their destination, they dispersed and headed to various places. Shortly after they left, four little heads popped out from above a statue not far away.

"You already know where the mothers will go."

The blonde girl turned triumphantly and looked at the three people around her, who all nodded.

"But what exactly are you going to do?"

The rapier girl was now staring at the blonde girl in confusion and asked.

“It’s very simple.”

The blonde chuckled at the rapier girl's question.

"revenge."

"……revenge???"

Hearing the blonde girl's answer, the three looked at each other.

"That's right. After we go back, we will definitely be severely punished by our mothers, right? In that case, let's get revenge in advance! That way, even if we are punished by our mothers when we go back, it won't be a loss!"

“…”

The three were stunned by the blonde girl's answer.

"Wait, wait a minute, but the mothers over there are not..."

"They will become our mothers sooner or later, right?"

"That's true..."

"Don't you want revenge?"

Having said this, the blonde girl lowered her voice and bewitched like a devil.

"Haven't you ever been punished by our mothers? Don't you want to take this opportunity to seek revenge? They don't know us now, so isn't this a good opportunity? As long as we are not seen by them, then we will be fine, right?"

“Woo…”

Faced with the blonde girl's instigation, the other girls began to hesitate, but soon, the white-haired girl raised her hand uneasily.

"But, but this is not good..."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Because... that..."

Facing the gaze of the blonde girl, the white-haired girl hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and said nothing.

"It's decided!"

The blonde girl clapped her hands excitedly.

"I'll let them know that they will suffer retribution for spanking us so happily! By the way, remember not to get close to Sister Xiao Hei, I don't want to be caught by her..."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Xiao Hei and Tilia are the people they fear the most.

Although he wanted revenge, he didn't dare to target them.

As for Asuna and the others, they had no idea that an unexpected disaster was waiting for them. In fact, they were now concentrating on the map strategy in front of them.

For example...the sacred tree.

"Wow... this place looks difficult to navigate."

To Asuna's surprise, this so-called holy tree was actually a large tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. It was so tall that it reached the sky, and was even as tall as a hundred-story building. There was also a wall surrounding the holy tree, and a tower was built around the holy tree. At this moment, Asuna and the others were at the edge of the branches of the holy tree. What they had to do next was to enter the center of the holy tree through the branches to explore.

but……

“Woo…”

Asuna looked at the scene in front of her with a grim expression. She didn't care about the cute little ones standing on the branches blowing trumpets like snowmen. What bothered her the most were the ants crawling around on the branches below... And these ants seemed to have wings? ?

This is doubly terrifying!

"Asuna, are you okay?"

Looking at Asuna's pale face, Lala looked at her curiously, while Asuna took a deep breath and shook her head.

"I, I'm fine."

The other party was on another branch, so she just had to jump to the branch above and then rush forward. There was no need to attract the attention of those ants. Thinking of this... Asuna took a breath and calmed herself down, then she jumped down and landed on the branch she had chosen.

However, what Asuna didn't expect was that the moment her foot stepped on the branch, the branch suddenly broke, and then Asuna screamed and lost her balance and fell down. She fell on the branch below, and when she rubbed her butt and raised her head, she saw a few ants waving their antennae, welcoming her enthusiastically...

“No! No! No! No!!!!”

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”

Looking at Asuna who was in chaos, the blonde girl on a distant branch held her stomach and laughed so hard that she almost fainted.

"I never thought that Asuna's mother would show such an embarrassing side. I really want to take a picture and show it to her in person. Let's see how she dares to be mean to me in the future!"

"……Why……"

Seeing the blonde girl like this, the rapier girl sighed silently. It's not that she doesn't understand the resentment of her sisters. Although the rapier girl also knows that as a mother, Asuna is indeed gentle and kind on weekdays, impeccable. But once it comes to training or learning, she will immediately turn into a devil.

I have to say that the mother in that mode is really scary. Even her own daughter is trembling with fear, not to mention her sisters. So now that the blonde girl is teasing Asuna like this, the rapier girl can't say much. After all... she also has some resentment deep in her heart.

Of course, only a little.

As for how all this was done, it was too simple. After learning the other party's destination, the blonde girl used time jump to arrive at the sacred tree in advance, and then used her future vision to lock the place where Asuna was about to land, and then cut it off, and then used "The World" to stop the cut branch. In this way, there is no flaw at all.

When Asuna walked up, she released the still time and completed the prank so easily.

But then again, as the person who inherited the most of her father's Time Dragon abilities, it would be a waste for her to use her abilities like this.

And just like that, the girls' disaster began.

It wasn't just Asuna, explorers from other places also encountered similar situations - either a huge iron ball suddenly appeared on the road, or the original passage was destroyed for some reason and there was no way to move forward. Some people were simply trapped in a maze, walking through the sewers over and over again, but still couldn't find a way out.

“Where on earth is this!!!”

Eriri's wailing echoed in the sewer, and hearing her screams, the girls looked at each other silently, then turned and left.

They haven't done anything yet!

"It's about time we go back."

The pink straight hair girl spoke uneasily.

"If I stay any longer, I'm afraid Mother will get even angrier..."

"Hey? I want to play for a while longer. By the way... um? Where's my little sister?"

At this moment, the blonde girl turned around and was surprised to find that the white-haired girl who had been following her and the others had disappeared. Seeing this, the blonde girl's expression suddenly changed.

not good!!!

"call……"

A breeze blew across the grassland, and then the figure of the white-haired girl emerged from it like a ghost. She looked around furtively, then walked forward quietly... Then a hand reached out and pressed her shoulder.

"Alas--!!"

"Where are you going, little sister?"

The blonde girl stared at the white-haired girl and asked in a low voice, while the white-haired girl turned her head back timidly.

"Um...sister...I just want to...um...sneak peek at dad..."

"no!"

The blonde girl quickly raised her hands, crossed them over her chest, and made a big cross.

"If our father sees us, how will you explain it? We are just here for fun, but we must not mess up history! Besides, our father is the Time Dragon, if you go there, you will be incriminating yourself, right?!"

“Woo…”

Hearing this, the white-haired girl lowered her head in grievance.

"But, I just want to see what dad looks like now..."

"Father is the same now and in the future. Nothing will change at all. Okay, we should leave here! Stop acting like a spoiled brat!"

As she spoke, the blonde girl grabbed the white-haired girl's hand and turned to leave. However, just as she turned her head, a black muzzle of a gun appeared in her sight.

"Hey! Kurumi's mother...?"

"It's me."

Kuang San, who appeared in the shadow of the blonde girl, raised the gun in his hand with a smile and pointed it at the blonde girl in front of him.

"I have been lurking in your shadows and watching you. I never thought you would do such a thing... How should I punish you?"

At this point, Kuang San rolled her eyes and stared at the girls. Under her blood-red gaze, the girls didn't dare to breathe, but just stood there trembling like hamsters. The blonde girl gritted her teeth and stood up.

"A good woman should be a good woman. I was the first to do this. If you want to punish someone, punish me!"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Kuang San narrowed her eyes slightly.

"So, you are ready?"

"certainly!"

"Very good, in that case..."

Having said that, Kuang San's fingers moved slightly and pulled the trigger.

"Go back and prepare to be punished, you little rascals."

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Four gunshots were heard in the distance. Titan raised his head in confusion and looked behind him.

"What's wrong, Titan?"

"There seems to be gunshots over there..."

"You must have heard it wrong, I didn't hear anything."

"Yeah???"

Hearing the answer from Kirisaki Kyoko beside him, Titan tilted his head in confusion.

Did I really hear it wrong?
