"Castorice... It seems you're also ready to take a step forward." Mydei looked at Castorice in front of him and nodded.
"The Black Tide is endless. My death was only temporary."
"I will find my way back, return to the world of the living, and continue my [Guardianship]."
"..." Hearing this, the respect in Castorice's heart reached its peak, and she then asked, "Lord Mydei, I would like to ask, why does Death always resist you?"
Hearing this, Mydei shook his head, "It is I who am resisting it."
"I see..." Castorice murmured softly, then issued an invitation: "Lord Mydei, would you be willing to travel with us?"
"We are going to the magic circle on the high tower to summon Thanatos, who has long since vanished from the world's sight..."
"Thanatos..." Hearing this name, a slight ripple of emotion appeared on Mydei's face.
"Let's travel together, Castorice..."
Without saying much else, Mydei agreed.
"Let me, a person who has brushed past Death ten million times, guide the way for you!"
After speaking, Mydei took the lead and walked forward, guiding the group.
The rest followed behind Mydei, walking toward the high tower.
"So, Little Herta, Styxia's story is about to reach its end. Are you happy?" Looking at Castorice and Mydei before them, Lumina smiled softly at Herta by her side.
"I am." Herta didn't put on a tough act, simply stating her thoughts directly.
Yet, her flat tone and expression made it difficult to guess whether this "I am" was genuine happiness or fake...
"Hey, hey, hey, Little Herta, could you be a bit more serious when answering, please?"
"With this flat expression and this flat tone, are you trying to mess with me?"
Lumina was clearly not very satisfied with Herta's demeanor.
So she gestured for her to answer again.
Herta: "..."
Hearing this, Herta felt extremely speechless.
But she still complied with Lumina's words, revealing a happy smile, "Wow, I can finally leave this place called Styxia soon. I'm so happy."
Herta said this sentence only for Lumina to hear, Castorice and the others were completely unaware.
After all, if Castorice heard this, it would make her feel somewhat guilty.
"Hmm~ Not bad, not bad. I really like this." Hearing Herta's tone, Lumina felt extremely satisfied.
"After Castorice, the next ones will be Phainon, Anaxa, and Hyacine, right?" Recalling the scene she had witnessed in the Vortex of Genesis back then, Herta said indifferently.
"It seems Herta really finds Amphoreus too boring and wants to leave early, huh?" Hearing Herta's words, Lumina teased with a smile.
Although Herta said so with her mouth, the real reason she wanted to leave Amphoreus was not because it was boring as she claimed.
Why was that?
Of course, it was because Lumina was always cuddling with other beautiful girls, making her feel a little jealous~
She didn't want to keep feeling jealous, so she wanted to get Lumina to leave Amphoreus as soon as possible.
Regarding this, Lumina could only say.
Madam Herta has fallen~
Lumina chuckled secretly in her mind.
"Hmph!" Feeling Lumina's meaningful gaze, even the mighty Madam Herta turned her head away and snorted coldly.
"I... I just think this place isn't any good, so don't overthink it."
At this moment, Herta had returned to her former tsundere state.
Tsundere Herta was back for a limited time!
Lumina really liked this kind of Herta.
So, when she saw Herta's familiar and adorable posture again, Lumina said nothing and just looked at her gently.
