Miss Ying and Paimon were walking on the street as usual.
After returning yesterday from the ruins outside Fontaine, which were suspected to be left by the Lemuria Dynasty, they wanted to visit Yuto at Palais Mermonia.
After all, Yuto was the one who first proposed this concept. If he could analyze some things based on her own experiences, it would be even better.
But when she and Paimon returned from outside Fontaine, Yuto had already left work. Thinking of his terrifying workload, they didn't want to disturb him further.
However, they met Yuto early this morning, who was busy with something outside. This was also a kind of serendipity.
"Yuto!"
Paimon looked at the tall, sea-blue figure and called out loudly.
Under the strong support of Yuto's labor law, Fontaine in the early morning was relatively quiet.
—Except for the merchants running their shops and Yuto, no one else needed to get up for work at this hour.
Paimon's shout was quite abrupt in the quiet Fontaine, not only startling Yuto but also startling the shop owner who was counting today's fresh flowers.
The two looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a girl dressed in white foreign clothes pulling the small guide floating beside her with a headache, a apologetic smile appearing on her face.
—It was like an adult apologizing for their child's behavior.
However, Yuto did not dwell too much on this point, as he was now a ruthless task distribution machine.
Don't worry about it too much, just distribute the tasks and be done with it.
"Good morning, Miss Ying, Paimon. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Paimon nodded heavily, then said excitedly:
"Us too! Speaking of which, Yuto, do you not have to work today? Why are you out so early, and… holding these flowers and plants?"
After saying this, Paimon paused for a moment, then said with an understanding expression:
"Oh! I know, you must be using these to decorate your office, right?"
Yuto's mouth twitched upon hearing this, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
"No, these are gifts for Miss Gan Yu."
"I heard… she likes all kinds of plants, even Qingxin that is too bitter to swallow."
Upon hearing Yuto's words, Paimon and Miss Ying were both startled, then nodded in unison, not continuing the conversation on that topic.
"By the way, you two just called me not just to 'say hello,' right? Is there something else?"
Yuto's words instantly reminded the two in front of him, and Paimon vigorously nodded her small head twice, then said:
"Yes, yes, yesterday when I went to the ruins with this guy…"
Over the next five minutes, Paimon vividly recounted everything they had experienced to Yuto on behalf of Miss Ying—including the disappeared torn draft paper.
Hearing this, Yuto's brows furrowed slightly.
He first looked at the plants and flowers in his hand, which still had some dew, then looked at the two in front of him with some anticipation, and sighed slightly.
"I generally understand the situation. This is not a suitable place to talk. Let's… go somewhere else."
Miss Ying and Paimon nodded very cooperatively, then followed Yuto in the direction of Palais Mermonia.
...
After Yuto arranged for Sedna to deliver the items for him, he took the two back to his office.
After pondering for a moment, Yuto finally slowly asked:
"So… Miss Ying thinks she might have seen content from a key time node of the Lemuria Dynasty?"
Miss Ying nodded gently, not speaking.
"Hmm…"
Yuto once again lowered his head in thought. He looked at the documents piled on his desk, then at the somewhat conflicted two in front of him, and he already had the answer in his heart.
—This matter needs to be resolved quickly.
This is very important for Yuto at the moment.
In Yuto's memory, the phobos possessed by the Lemuria Dynasty was a device capable of resisting fate.
Given his current special circumstances, if he truly wanted the ability to control his own destiny, a device similar to phobos was indispensable.
Thinking of this, Yuto skillfully pulled open the drawer where he kept his leave requests, quickly wrote one, and placed it on the desk.
Yes, this was the second time he had taken leave during his tenure as Assistant Administrator.
Although Yuto didn't expect to completely resolve the phobos issue through this exploration of the so-called ruins, he at least needed to understand how the Spiritual Dew from the Primordial Sea was generated.
If he could truly attempt to recreate phobos… then his confidence in hunting The Foul and confronting fate and the Prophet would be even greater.
Thinking of this, Yuto slowly stood up in the somewhat shocked gazes of the two in front of him, looking as if he was about to leave.
"Yuto, are you…?"
Paimon tilted her head, asking somewhat confusedly.
"Since Miss Ying can resonate with the Primordial Sea and thus see Vignier and other victims, and now can resonate with those ancient memories…"
"I'm thinking, can I, who can also resonate with the Primordial Sea, witness all of this?"
"If I can, then I think I can give a more accurate answer, and also solve a lingering question in my heart."
Hearing this, Paimon and Miss Ying exchanged glances, then nodded in unison.
This was an Assistant Administrator who had lived in this world for nearly five hundred years.
If he didn't have some special abilities… Miss Ying would never believe it.
With Yuto present, their safety and exploration efficiency would both be guaranteed.
This was the best of the best.
Thinking of this, the two of them quickly got up and followed Yuto out of Palais Mermonia.
...
Soon after Yuto left, Furina tiptoed into his office.
The young girl looked at the empty office, feeling a momentary sense of loss, but also some confusion.
Normally… shouldn't he be sitting here preparing to review documents by now? Why now…
Furina tilted her head, a confused look in her beautiful heterochromatic eyes, then she whispered:
"Did he take leave for something? Or is he personally showing Miss Gan Yu around Fontaine?"
Just as she finished speaking, Furina saw the leave request placed on the desk.
After quickly reading it, a hint of surprise flashed in Furina's eyes.
She tightly clutched the leave request in her hand and quickly left Palais Mermonia.
"Perhaps… I can find some solutions to The Prophecy from those stories and remaining history…"
