Sampo abruptly looked up, looked at his hands, then at his body, and then stood up and bounced a few times.
"Finally, I'm back! You actually turned me, Sampo, into a turtle just now. You're too cruel, good brother."
After bouncing around like a clown for a while, Sampo looked at Takatsuki with a resentful expression.
"Wouldn't it have been fine if you hadn't run?"
Sampo chuckled awkwardly: "I just thought it was the Wanderers chasing me. If I had known it was my good brother and good friends, why would I run? I would have opened my arms and welcomed you."
"So, what do my good brothers and good friends need from me, Sampo?"
Takatsuki looked at the other trailblazers, and March 7th and Stelle both shrugged.
"I just wanted to give Sampo a good beating when I saw him, but Stelle already did."
Stelle also nodded: "I actually don't care."
The few of them looked at Dan Heng, who sighed helplessly: "Why did you bring us to the Underworld?"
"Good friend, it's not why I brought you here. Where else could you go besides the Underworld? You're wanted in the Overworld. You can't hide in the snowy outskirts, can you?"
What Sampo said seemed to make sense. Although Dan Heng felt Sampo was very suspicious, he couldn't produce any concrete evidence.
"No way, good brother, you turned me into a turtle and beat me up just for this question?"
Hearing Sampo's complaint, March 7th immediately became unhappy: "Wasn't it proper to beat you up? Why did you leave us to the Silvermane Guards?"
"No way, is that my fault too? If I had been with you then, you wouldn't even have had a chance to speak and would have been thrown directly into prison."
"Besides, I, Sampo, never mistreat my friends. Look, didn't I save you when you were in danger?"
March 7th was instantly speechless.
Takatsuki watched Sampo explaining, but his eyes were constantly fixed on him: "So what do you want to say?"
"Good brother, look, I, Sampo, suffered for no reason. Shouldn't I get some compensation?"
"Do you want money? Okay, how much?"
Money was completely worthless to Takatsuki, but Sampo did not nod.
"Money is so vulgar, brother. What was that thing you used to turn me into a turtle just now? Can I… hehe."
After all that, he was eyeing my abilities.
"That's my ability, I can't give it to you, but if you want to turn into an animal, I can help you."
Sampo quickly waved his hand.
"Then forget it, but brother, you seem to have quite a few interesting good things."
Sampo rubbed his hands, looking at the ring on Takatsuki's hand.
The Ring of Eden, Takatsuki had always worn it on his hand. Part of the reason for deflecting Svarog's beam earlier was the Observation Haki, and the other part was the Ring of Eden.
"You want interesting things, right? Then I'll give you this."
A golden Hamon appeared in front of Sampo. Sampo had been secretly observing the surroundings and naturally knew what it was, so he reached out his hand.
A stone fell from the Hamon into Sampo's hand.
"This is?"
Takatsuki looked at the stone in Sampo's hand and said with a look of disdain: "The Stone of Pregnancy. Regardless of gender, if you carry it on your person for a month, you will definitely become pregnant. The child born from this stone will definitely be a girl."
Takatsuki's words almost made Sampo throw the stone away, but he quickly thought of something and stopped.
"Good brother, did you take this out as compensation for me?"
Takatsuki looked at Sampo strangely: "If you want it, take it."
"Good! Good brother, then I, Sampo, won't be polite. If anything comes up in the future, just find me, Sampo."
Takatsuki felt that Sampo was a bit strange. Takatsuki originally thought he was a greedy merchant, but after several interactions, he found that the other party seemed to be…
Deliberately looking for trouble?
Looking for fun?
Since no one present had anything else for Sampo, Sampo quickly left.
March 7th was originally interested in that stone, but as soon as Takatsuki introduced it, she immediately recoiled.
"I don't want to get pregnant."
Dan Heng said from the side: "You need to carry it on your person for a month to get pregnant. Touching it doesn't work."
"Who knows, maybe it accumulates."
Takatsuki rolled his eyes: "Alright, it's been a tiring day. We'll know where the Stellaron is tomorrow. Let's try to get rid of the Stellaron within three days."
"Takatsuki, Takatsuki."
As soon as Takatsuki finished speaking, March 7th leaned in.
"Um, do you have any more interesting little things like that?"
"The Stone of Pregnancy? Just that one."
March 7th quickly shook her head: "No, no, these things must be rare artifacts you got from other worlds, right? Do you have any other interesting rare artifacts?"
"Rare artifacts?"
Dan Heng explained what rare artifacts were in the universe. Takatsuki understood them as unique items with special effects, which could be positive or negative.
"If that's the case, I do have a few. What do you want to do?"
March 7th rubbed her hands, "Can I borrow them to play with?"
"Play with, huh…"
Takatsuki thought for a moment: "Not everyone can use my things. I remember you're still wanted in the Overworld, aren't you?"
"Yes, why?"
Takatsuki took out the Gaia Foundation from his backpack, a makeup box held in his hand.
"This thing is called the Gaia Foundation. It can change a person's appearance, physique, voice, and even species. Of course, it's not a true change; the essence remains the same."
Takatsuki looked at March 7th: "They will choose their owner. If you can use it, I'll lend it to you."
"Really?!"
March 7th snatched the Gaia Foundation.
"Isn't this just a makeup box?"
Takatsuki nodded at March 7th's question: "The Gaia Foundation takes the form of a makeup box. It can make a person up to look like anything. In the hands of someone not acknowledged by it, it's just an ordinary makeup box."
"I see."
After hearing this, March 7th began to fiddle with the makeup box. Takatsuki shrugged, watching March 7th's persistent efforts, and spoke to the others.
"Do you want to go eat together before resting? I don't really feel like eating the food down here."
Dan Heng: "I don't care."
Stelle: "But we didn't bring any food."
"Since I proposed this, I will naturally prepare it. If we're going to eat, then let's not go back to Rivet Town. Let's find an open space in the Great Mine."
"Can I come along?"
A voice came from beside Takatsuki.
"Hmm? Big Seele? When did you get here?"
Takatsuki looked at Big Seele, who had appeared out of nowhere, feeling a bit strange. He clearly hadn't seen Big Seele come over?
"That's March."
"Huh?"
The Big Seele in front of him revealed March 7th's signature smile: "Hehe, gotcha! But your Gaia Foundation is really amazing."
March 7th, in the guise of Big Seele, said, "You just said that if I could use it, you'd lend it to me."
Takatsuki's mouth slightly opened.
"Alright, I'm a man of my word."
"Yay!"
