House of the Lost.
In the guest room, Yakumo's family and the Elves sat on one side, while the Scarlet Devil Mansion sat on the other.
At the same time, Marisa and Louise ran over. After all, Shasta was among the missing people.
"Yakumo!!!!"
Remilia gave a cry, her eyes wide with rage.
"Look at what your daughter has done! Fran is gone! "
Remilia slammed her palm on the table in front of her.
Her cute little hand turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Wuuu — it hurts!!!"
Remilia cried out in pain, her sparkling eyes quickly filled with tears.
The pair of bat wings on her back flapped rapidly due to the pain from her hand.
"Miss …" Xiao Ye raised his head and tried his best to stop the blood from gushing out of his nose. He took out a handkerchief from the pair of pads and began to wipe Remilia's tears.
"Slurp —" Eight-cloud Ink and Patrice picked up their teacups at the same time and tasted the tea expressionlessly.
"Are, are you okay? Milady? "
Sitting beside Remilia was Yoshino, whom she had summoned as a familiar earlier.
"Aiya aiya, Yoshino, you should know that this is Milady's normal state!"
Yoshina, the rabbit doll in her hand, giggled as she spoke.
"Wuuu! Damn rabbit, if you make any more noise, I'll throw you to Yakumo and let her roast you! " Remilia angrily shouted at Yoshino, then coughed lightly with her small fist by her mouth.
A portion of her lost prestige miraculously returned.
Remilia didn't notice that her fist was the same as the one that had slammed the table. As a result, the pain in her palm intensified and she couldn't help but grimace, revealing her cute little canine teeth.
Thus, her prestige faded away again.
"Slurp —" Eight-cloud Ink and Patrice picked up their teacups at the same time and tasted the tea expressionlessly.
Louise's mouth twitched as she looked at the scene in front of her.
"Patrice!!!"
Remilia looked at Patrice who was sitting on the other side of her with dissatisfaction.
"You should say a few words too! Don't always drink tea there, okay? "
"Remi, I've already told you. You can't blame Little Yagyun or his daughter, Yui, for this matter."
Putting down the teacup, Patrice sighed.
"We've also investigated it. Aren't you very clear that the traces left behind there were obviously caused by Fran's power?"
"But, but Fran won't lose her mind anymore, right?"
Remilia shrunk her head in grievance at Patrice's righteous words.
"Alright, alright." Eight-cloud Ink opened her mouth with a smile. "It's exactly because she won't lose her mind that Fran has completely become a naughty child, right?"
"I know you're worried about Flan, just like how I'm worried about Yui and little Misaka. But worrying alone won't solve anything. "
"Then, what should we do? What if Fran and the others run into a dangerous world? "
Remilia was on the verge of tears.
Her precious little sister was swept into the space-time turbulence. God knows which world she ended up in. When she first heard this news, Remilia almost tore down the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Eight-cloud Ink turned to Yukari who had been silent all this while.
"Onee-sama, do you have any ideas?"
It was clear that Eight-cloud Ink had no way to solve the current situation.
Yukari didn't immediately answer. Instead, she asked, "Mo'er, are you sure they're not in the worlds connected to Fantasy Village?"
"I'm sure."
Eight-cloud Ink nodded.
"The worlds connected to Fantasy Village are now being affected by the Jianmu Tree, so I can use the Jianmu Tree to determine if there are any outsiders in those worlds."
"Is that so …"
Yukari lightly tapped her fan on the table.
The hall suddenly quieted down. Only the sound of the fan tapping on the table could be heard.
"Mo'er, it seems that you'll have to work hard for a while."
"It's fine. Yui and the others are lost. I naturally have the responsibility to find them."
"I want to go too!"
Remilia immediately raised her hand.
"No, it's faster to let Mo'er do this alone."
Yukari shook her head and rejected Remilia's suggestion.
"Eh? Why? "
"Because among us, only Mo'er can take the initiative to go to a world that she has never been to before. The others can't. Even I can only use Mo'er to open a passage between the two worlds."
Remilia was dumbfounded.
She really couldn't do that.
"Mo'er, the Tree of Fantasy in your spirit sea actually came from the Jianmu Tree, right?"
Eight-cloud Ink nodded.
Today, he finally completely understood what the Tree of Fantasy was.
With the help of Sikong Mo, who was assisting Four Seasons' Echo Concubine in the Hall of Wrongs and Wrongs, Eight-cloud Ink understood that the so-called Tree of Fantasy was actually a seed formed by the branches left behind after the collapse of the Jianmu Tree after the collapse of the wasteland.
"Since its essence comes from the Jianmu Tree, it must have some of the Jianmu Tree's characteristics left behind. For example, you can directly observe whether there are outsiders invading those worlds through the Jianmu Tree in the Fantasy Town."
"You mean —?"
Eight-cloud Ink vaguely knew what Yukari wanted to do.
Yukari tilted her head and smiled, "You guessed it too? Yes, use this characteristic. You need to make a connection between that world and the Jianmu Tree in the Fantasy Town as soon as possible after passing through the new world so that you can observe whether there are outsiders other than you who have entered that world. "
"This …"
Eight-cloud Ink shook his head and smiled bitterly.
This was completely like a lottery. If he was lucky, he could find Yui and the others in a short time.
If he was unlucky, he didn't know when he would find them.
"Well, in fact, this is just a stopgap measure." Yukari opened the folding fan with a "swoosh" sound. "In fact, as long as the Jianmu Tree grows up as soon as possible, the power feedback to Mo'er will allow you to cross the world and lock onto Yui and the others' breath. After all, although Yui is your daughter, she is actually your Spirit-branded Retainer."
"That's the only way for now …"
Eight-cloud Ink said faintly.
Fortunately, among the five people who went missing, Shasta, who was the weakest, was not a person that ordinary people could deal with.
He didn't have to worry too much about what would happen to them.
⑧
A huge city with no end in sight.
This was the scene that Yui and the others saw after walking out of the maze-like underground tunnel.
"Wow! It's so beautiful, so beautiful!!! "
Waving their little hands, Yui and Fran both raised their hands and cheered.
Standing behind the two little girls, Yuriko wasn't as happy as the two little girls.
In the process of walking out of the maze-like underground tunnel, all kinds of monsters kept coming out of the surrounding walls.
Those monsters weren't strong, and most of them would leave behind something like crystals after being killed.
Occasionally, they would also encounter some adventurers.
Those adventurers were surprised when they saw Yui and the others, but no one took the initiative to go forward.
Just like this, Yui, Fran, and Yuriko walked out of the underground maze.
"Hey, hey —"
Fran pointed at the city in front of them and turned to look at Yuriko.
"— Let's go there and play!"
Go to the city?
[Based on the strength of those adventurers that we met just now, the people in this world don't seem to be very powerful.]
Thinking of this, Yuriko nodded.
"Alright, before Master Mo finds us, let's go take a look at that city. At the same time, we can try to find out where Misaka and Xie Sta are."
⑧
In front of them was a city full of modern atmosphere.
Standing on the top of a tall building, Eight-cloud Ink's clothes fluttered in the wind.
Looking down at the dense crowd of pedestrians below, Eight-cloud Ink frowned slightly.
Death aura.
It wasn't the aura of the dead, but the kind of decadent aura that was formed when everyone lost their vitality.
"What's wrong with this city?"
Subconsciously, Eight-cloud Ink began to look for clues.
Then, he noticed a giant electronic billboard on the street below.
A piece of news was constantly being broadcasted on it.
"Tomorrow, the wife of politician Kashinomiya Ciying, who made great contributions to the establishment of the Public Order and Good Custom Bill, Ms. Sophia Kashinomiya, will go to Shioka University to give a speech for the passage of the new Public Order and Good Custom Bill in Congress. She will mobilize students to sign signatures!"
"Tutoring will follow the whole process to guard against attacks by the SOX terrorist organization!"
“SOX？”
Eight-cloud Ink raised an eyebrow.
"What's that?"
