"That makes sense, come this way with me!"
Ies patted Faga's arm, jumped down, and strode across the skeletal bodies that had collapsed on the ground, surveying his surroundings through the swirling fireworks.
After carefully comparing the data provided by Fairy, Ling pointed decisively in one direction and said firmly, "It's this way!"
Immediately, Fagar quietly approached, his face suddenly turning serious. He drew his blade in a flash and stepped into the spatial rift.
The next moment, Fagga stepped over it completely and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Eileen kicked the giant scissors and swung them over her shoulder, following closely behind Fagga.
Soon after, Ies and Grace also stepped over, and the three of them, along with Bangbu, stopped in their tracks in an unknown place.
Everyone looked up, and Eileen was the first to ask: "An unfinished building?"
Indeed, when they crossed the spatial rift, the first thing they saw was a continuous stretch of unfinished buildings.
Someone paid for it, it was never decorated, it never even had a chance to be born, and its ending was already marked by death.
"Be careful, there's a violent etheric reaction in that building."
Fagar narrowed his eyes, and with a slight downward tilt of his blade, he blocked Ies behind him.
At the same time, Fagga's pupil under his monocle suddenly turned scarlet. In his vision of purple and red, he discovered a regular purple object on the roof of the unfinished building.
Fagar tilted his head slightly and asked in a low voice, "Grace, take a look at that thing on the roof of the unfinished building. Is that the tunnel boring machine we're looking for?"
Upon hearing this, Grace looked up sharply, raising her hand to shield her eyes from the sun. Sure enough, she saw a huge machine atop the unfinished building. Filled with anticipation, she shouted loudly:
"Hey! Greta, it's me, Grace, I'm here!"
The sound traveled through the air, propelled faster and farther by the dense ether concentration, drifting into Gretel's transmission equipment atop the unfinished building.
However, instead of leaping down to join Grace as she had expected, it emitted a charmingly naive female voice that subtly hinted at a threat:
"Please don't come any closer! This is their private space!"
"I don't want to go back! I want to stay with Mashiro forever, I don't want to be a drab ugly duckling!"
Fagar and Ellen were taken aback, and they exchanged a glance and blinked at each other.
Ah, this... this personality shouldn't be something that intelligent machines come with, right?
wrong!
The two turned around abruptly, hoping that Grace wouldn't have an emotional breakdown.
Ies also looked over, and Ling, who completely lacked romantic experience, offered a jumbled mess of comforting words:
“Grace, calm down. It’s just a rebellious kid. It may have run off with a white-haired guy… ugh, it was just tricked by that white-haired guy. We can definitely persuade it to change its mind…”
However, Grace didn't break down as everyone expected. Instead, she clenched her legs tightly together, clasped her hands together, and grinned like an auntie, chuckling as she said:
"It's only been a few days, but I never imagined that the tunneling machine had grown into such a remarkable young woman! Hehehehe!"
"...changed mind."
The sound of the bell grew fainter and fainter until finally, all I could see was a wide-eyed stare through Eis's perspective. After a long while, he gasped, his eyes filled with astonishment, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Huh???"
