Castle in the Sky.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
The girl inside the crystal was furious and angrily severed her connection with the other side.
"Can anyone tell me why this guy is so annoying!"
She was quite cute when she broke down before, so why has she become more and more infuriating after recovering?
Not cute at all!
"You bastard! He knows perfectly well I don't like that nickname!"
Your Majesty...
To hell with your maternal authority.
No, I'm not! I'm definitely not!
It was just something I said casually as a joke. How come this person doesn't know how to make a joke?
Is it really necessary for everyone to know?!
"Aaaaaah!"
Alice grew angrier the more she thought about it, and even considered dragging that guy back and beating him up.
Bang!
A massive crystal fell from mid-air, crashing heavily to the ground and sending shockwaves through the surrounding area...
Oh, there's no one else around.
No one was harmed in this outburst.
The crystal floated up and fell repeatedly, as if venting its anger by stomping its feet.
"What prophet! He's just a wicked fellow!"
"Bad thing!"
Thump thump thump!
...
...
A knocking sound echoed above the Sky City, each one creating a thunderous sonic boom.
But after being broadcast, it sounded more like the tolling of a bell than thunder from a distance.
The hum sounds deep, yet it is incredibly penetrating.
winter--
winter--
Hearing that familiar voice, the busy people in Sky City habitually put down their work.
"It's time."
"Yes, it's that time again."
Regardless of age or gender, they all bowed their heads toward the tower in the city center.
Then, under Alice's angry and dangerous gaze, they all spoke with faces full of gratitude:
"Thank you, great Lord of Sky City!"
They diligently repeated the words of the prophet's teachings, as he had instructed.
"Thank you for providing us with shelter."
"Thank you for stopping the gods from pursuing us."
"Thank you for agreeing with our expectations."
"Thank you for your kindness!"
...
Finally, they straightened up and shouted:
"Thank you, Your Majesty Alice!"
Rumble...
When the combined shouts of thousands of voices echoed through the buildings, even the buildings began to shake.
The combined voices of everyone made the Sky City tremble and reverberate towards the tower!
"Thank you, Your Majesty Alice!!"
"Your Majesty Alice!"
"Your Majesty!"
...
The emotional shouts echoed in her ears, making Alice's breath catch in her throat.
Alice: "…………"
This feeling...
The fist has hardened!
As she listened to the prayers around her, her expression contorted, and she awkwardly tried to shift her body.
It's so suffocating!
suck!
call!
suck!
call……
Although she couldn't actually breathe through the crystal, these deep breaths calmed Alice down from her impending outburst.
Then……
winter!
Alice stomped her foot heavily, lowered her head fiercely, and gritted her teeth as she forced out the words:
"It's fine if they don't know... but don't interfere!!!"
It's one thing for those ignorant mortals to be ignorant, but why the hell are you also causing trouble?
Which side are you on?
Rumble... Cut.
The city, high in the sky, roared and began to tremble.
Kakaka...
The city's residents looked around in confusion as the ground trembled slightly, but they had no idea what was happening.
"Alright, stop pretending!"
Kaka...
The trembling subsided, and Sky City returned to its usual tranquility.
Like a child caught doing something wrong, he answered shyly twice and then obediently lowered his head.

"snort!"
Alice gave a quick glare, then looked away and gazed into the distance.
The prayers were over, and the residents of Sky City returned to their daily work and lives.
Ten years is enough time for them to get used to this kind of life and forget about the outside world.
There are even children born within a decade who have lived in the Sky City since birth and have no idea what the outside world is like.
Is it a perfect secluded paradise?
"Is this what you call 'a small favor'...?"
Recalling the "little favor" that man had mentioned, Alice pouted and gave a cold laugh.
A man's mouth.
"That's quite a small favor."
hehe!
At that time, a "mortal" prophet whose influence was even more astonishing than that of the gods made a small request of himself.
Or rather, a choice.
This choice was not made for Alice, but for her followers.
He didn't need Alice to cover his tracks, nor did he need her to actively fight off the enemy; his only request was to provide a small place for his followers.
Those who wish to continue fighting can continue to follow behind him.
Those who, for various reasons, can no longer continue their journey, need not leave in despair.
Sky City will become a safe haven for them to rest and recuperate.
