The visitor was not an enemy or a stranger to Kaede Sato, but an ally that he had not seen for a long time. Yes, the uninvited guest who came late at night was Mia, a superpower user.
However, even though they were allies, Kaede Sato was wary of this ally who came late at night after not seeing each other for so long.
After all, judging from the other party's attire and complexion, she was still alive and well, but she did not choose to look for him. This made Kaede Sato feel strange.
He clearly remembered that the other party said that she had the ability to find him in a short time and even asked him to help her restrain the pair of twin superpower sisters around Els so that she could create a good environment for her to take revenge on Els.
Due to the long delay in seeing Mia, Kaede Sato thought that she had been eliminated or met with misfortune.
After all, the world was unpredictable. Even a superpower user was not considered a powerful figure in the beginning of this dangerous and mysterious island, and a little carelessness could lead to a tragic death.
However, now that there were only about two days left before the end of the island survival trial, the ally that he thought had been eliminated or met with misfortune had suddenly appeared.
Why did she come to look for him so late?
Was she an enemy or an ally now?
What was the purpose of her visit this time?
…
In the few seconds that they met again, many questions arose in Kaede Sato's mind. At the same time, as the number of questions gradually increased, the gaze that he looked at Mia gradually became colder.
The Swamp Monster and the other fairies were keenly aware that Kaede Sato had some distrust and slight hostility toward this uninvited guest who had suddenly come to visit. For a moment, they quickly surrounded Mia with unfriendly expressions on their faces.
Thomas, on the other hand, also moved. He put down the work at hand and slowly walked behind Mia with the fairies, closely watching her every move.
"Hmph, Kaede Sato, you really are a very suspicious person. We haven't seen each other for a while and you're already starting to distrust me, your ally."
Seeing that she was surrounded by Kaede Sato and the fairies, Mia's expression was still calm, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. She touched the Natural Sparrow on her shoulder to calm it down, then crossed her arms and said to Kaede Sato in a very dissatisfied tone.
"It's hard to fathom a man's heart. If being paranoid can help me live longer, I don't mind being a little paranoid. Miss Mia, can you please satisfy my curiosity? Why haven't you come to see me for so long?"
Kaede Sato directly ignored Mia's attitude. He glanced at the Natural Sparrow on Mia's shoulder and then slightly shifted his gaze to the Mutated Bat above Mia's head. After making eye contact with the Mutated Bat, he continued to say expressionlessly.
At the same time, the Mutated Bat's eyes, which had formed a deep rapport with Kaede Sato, began to glow with a faint black light. Once it noticed that something was wrong with Mia, it would immediately use the Natural Sparrow on its shoulder to provoke her to teleport.
"You also know that the creatures on this island are not very friendly to outsiders like us, right? I'm not very lucky and encountered some very troublesome matters. Recently, I've been recovering with the help of a benefactor. It's not that I don't want to look for you, it's just that I really couldn't find you for some time."
Although Kaede Sato's gaze was discreet, it obviously did not escape Mia's eyes. She raised her head to look at the Mutated Bat above her head, and a trace of solemnity immediately appeared in her eyes. After that, she shifted her gaze back to Kaede Sato, and with an expression that said she could not bear to recall, she said in a somewhat self-pitying manner.
"I'm deeply sorry to hear about your misfortune. So, what's the purpose of your visit this time? Are you still asking me to help you deal with Els? If that's the case, I can help you. My promise is still valid, but I suggest that you let go of your hatred for the time being. I've fought him before, and he's a troublesome fellow. "
After listening to Mia's explanation, a sympathetic expression appeared on Kaede Sato's face. He chose not to argue with the other party anymore and directly asked about the purpose of her visit this time.
One would not come to a temple without a cause. Although Mia had come a little late, she was still here. If she wanted him to help her with her revenge on Els, he was willing to help. After all, he had a grudge with Els.
However, if Mia had come with another purpose, then that would be debatable. He only promised to help Mia with her revenge on Els. As for anything else, he would not care.
"Actually, you don't have to tactfully persuade me not to provoke Els. You can just say that I'm no match for him. In fact, I also know my own limitations. I really can't beat him at the moment, so I'm not here to discuss this matter with you this time. I …"
Mia nodded. In an instant, a charming smile appeared on her face as she replied to Kaede Sato.
Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, Kaede Sato rudely interrupted her.
"Enough. Since you don't want me to help you deal with Els, then there's no need to continue. I'm not interested, and I don't want to know. You can leave now."
After Kaede Sato confirmed that Mia had come for another purpose, he immediately interrupted her and gestured for her to leave.
There were only two days left before the end of the island survival trial. He did not want to complicate matters at this time and increase unnecessary risks.
"Kaede Sato, I know that you're very strong now. My master told me that your current strength is enough to rank in the top ten of the newcomers' tournament. Although I don't quite believe it, since it's my master who said it, I'll take it seriously."
"But even so, didn't you obediently bow down to my master the day before yesterday? If it weren't for my master being softhearted and letting you go, you'd be in the base now."
"Yes, we met the day before yesterday. Don't you remember?"
When Mia saw that Kaede Sato did not let her finish her sentence, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared and turned as cold as frost. The corner of her mouth curled up slightly, and she sneered.
When Kaede Sato heard Mia's words, his pupils shrank. He suddenly remembered the scene where he met Sakaki Tomonari the day before yesterday.
At that time, there was indeed a masked man standing next to Sakaki Tomonari with a figure very similar to Mia's, and that masked man also had a natural sparrow perched on his shoulder.
"That masked man is you. Looks like he's your benefactor. Are you his now?"
For a moment, in Kaede Sato's eyes, the masked man at that time overlapped with the Mia in front of him. He was stunned.
As far as he knew, Mia should have been Na Zi's, but she had actually changed sides.
"That's right, it's me. I'm now Master Sakaki Tomonari's subordinate. It's all because of his kindness that I'm able to survive on this perilous island."
"In fact, I'm here on Master Sakaki Tomonari's orders. How about it? Do you still want to hear me out?"
When Mia saw that Kaede Sato had already guessed her identity, she did not refute and directly admitted it. Then, she looked at Kaede Sato with a playful look on her face.
When Kaede Sato heard that Mia admitted her relationship with Sakaki Tomonari, he immediately fell silent. He could ignore Mia, but he could not ignore Sakaki Tomonari.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
After five seconds, he waved his hand to signal the Swamp Monster to withdraw from the encirclement, and then said with a solemn expression.
