Just as Himeko had said, Kallen took a break over the next few days and spent the rest of her time with Tsukishima...
Under the moonlight, Kallen remained quietly by her side. For the two who had always been together, this separation was far too sudden...
Although Yuexia had said she could leave with Jiang Mu, but...
Just like in real life, when you're about to leave your hometown, even if you say you don't care, how many people can truly let go...?
Finally, the third day arrived...
"So please tell me your decision."
He stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice.
Suddenly, Xu Daoxian also appeared here, but this time, he stood behind Jiang Mu.
"I……"
He stepped out under the moonlight, looked directly at ξ, and said softly.
"I've made up my mind, and I'm willing to leave now."
"A wise choice."
"ξ said softly."
For some reason, everyone heard a sense of relief in His voice...
"Then please take this."
As she spoke, a ball of light appeared in ξ's hand and slowly floated to the moonlight.
"What's this?"
Under the moonlight, he slowly accepted it. As the halo of light surrounding it disappeared, the item inside was revealed—
A pocket watch.
"Do you see the pointer above?"
"ξ said softly."
"When the two pointers, one red and one blue, overlap."
"Then, this world bubble welcomes you anytime..."
"I've got it."
Under the moonlight, he nodded heavily, watching the ticking hands of the pointer above, and said firmly to Karen.
"Sister, wait for me, I'll be back soon!"
"Yes, I believe you."
Karen's eyes were also a little red as she looked at the moonlight and spoke emotionally.
"Well then, it's time to say goodbye..."
Xu Daoxian then stepped out, nodded to ξ, and looked at Jiang Mu, Yuexia, and Youlandail, smiling.
Are you ready?
"Anytime is fine."
Jiang Mu nodded, as did the other two.
"Alright then..."
Xu Daoxian turned around and cupped his hands in greeting to ξ.
"I apologize for the inconvenience. See you another time."
ξ also imitated Xu Daoxian's movements, stiffly cupping his hands in a gesture of respect.
Immediately afterward, a mysterious array began to rise beneath Xu Daoxian's feet, enveloping the group. Then, the hand seals in Xu Daoxian's hands began to change. Finally, streams of light enveloped the group, transforming into a beam of light that shot into the sky and disappeared...
"Theresa!"
Karen stepped forward, tilted her head back, and shouted at the streak of light in the sky.
Please take good care of yourself!!!
………………
Drifting in the Sea of Quanta, Xu Daoxian looked at Jiang Mu and smiled.
"It seems that the regret you had in your heart has been resolved, right?"
"Thank you for your help, Taoist priest!"
Jiang Mu bowed and expressed his gratitude.
Without Xu Daoxian's help, he wouldn't have been able to get here. Without Xu Daoxian's help, the "World Will" wouldn't have calmly negotiated with them. Without Xu Daoxian's help...
He estimated that he would still be wandering aimlessly in the Sea of Quanta, like a headless fly...
"It's nothing..."
Xu Daoxian waved his hand, then looked at Youlandel beside him and said with a smile.
"Although I really want to ask if you'd like to go back to your world, this young lady seems to have something to say to you..."
"Is there something you need, Bianca?"
Jiang Mu looked at Youlandail and asked in confusion.
"Jiang Mu... no, Coach, please come back with me, okay..."
At this moment, Durandal grabbed Jiang Mu's hand and pleaded urgently.
“Bianca, you know…”
Jiang Mu smiled and tried to pull his hand away, but he didn't expect her hand to be so strong, so he sighed helplessly and said.
"You know how those... Valkyries treated me. I have absolutely no attachment to that world anymore. Going back now would just be asking for trouble..."
"But...but..."
Durandal wanted to try again, and spoke up.
"Don't you want to go see Otto and the others again, and even Kevin and the others? They all miss you..."
"They have their own lives now, why should I go and cause trouble..."
Jiang Mu waved his hand.
"But...they've already punished those Valkyries for you..."
What?
Jiang Mu was also startled upon hearing this. He turned to look at Youlandail, only to see that the latter was covering her mouth, seemingly regretting saying those words.
When did this happen?
Jiang Mu asked in a deep voice.
"this……"
Durandal's gaze darted away...
"explain!"
Jiang Mu spoke up.
"It was... a few days before I left..."
Finally, unable to bear Jiang Mu's gaze any longer, Yulandel slowly spoke.
"So... how are they now...?"
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Mu still asked.
"Well enough."
Durandal replied.
"No one died..."
"Tsk..."
Jiang Mu clicked his tongue.
"These guys are really something..."
Jiang Mu shook his head and looked at Xu Daoxian.
"I'm sorry, I might..."
"It doesn't matter."
Xu Daoxian patted Jiang Mu on the shoulder and handed him a piece of crystal.
"I have other things to do next, so I can't continue the trip with you."
“Crush this stone, and you can open a portal to your world.”
"Of course, there's more than one way to go back. You should know that this way, even if you accidentally lose this stone, you can still go back."
As he spoke, Xu Daoxian glanced at Durandal with a meaningful look, while the latter looked away somewhat guiltily...
"Well then, I'll be going now. See you again someday."
With that, Xu Daoxian waved to Jiang Mu, turned around, and disappeared in a streak of light.
After putting the stone away, Jiang Mu looked at Youlandail and forced a smile.
"Alright, Bianca. Let's go."
"Oh... okay..."
Upon hearing this, Durandal nodded subconsciously and turned to speed off in one direction.
Behind her, Jiang Mu held Yuexia's hand and followed closely.
………………
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of a world bubble.
"This... is the world we were in before."
As she spoke, Yulandel looked at Jiang Mu and said.
"Hold my hand tight, and then you can go in."
"good."
Jiang Mu nodded and did as instructed.
"Then, let's set off!"
Durandal nodded to Jiang Mu, and then, with a swift movement, the three of them passed through numerous barriers and entered this world...
