By nightfall, the Dragon Knights had already found a place for Baiyi and the others to stay in a luxurious noble mansion. There was an open-air banquet being held there, and Aya, who was dressed to the nines, naturally became the center of attention. Mordred led the girls around the banquet to try out the delicacies of the banquet. Baiyi, who was an inconspicuous Soul Armature, was treated as someone's bodyguard, and he was not associated with Master Hope, who was in the limelight.
Baiyi was glad to have some free time, so he snuck out to the long corridor outside the banquet hall. The corridor was located on the third floor, and it was high enough to provide a clear view of everything. Baiyi was in a good mood, so he looked at the crowded street outside. Then, he took out a few pots of plants from his breastplate and started watering them.
Soon, the most important and most important part of the Harvest Festival, the Fireworks Show, began. The ones in charge of the Fireworks Show were the royal mages of the kingdom. No one knew how strong they were in actual combat, but at the very least, they were very good at performing. Just the opening of the show was enough to light up the night sky with fireworks, causing the whole city to exclaim and cheer.
The banquet was temporarily suspended, and the nobles of the Kingdom walked elegantly to the long corridor, holding their glasses of wine. They leaned against the white marble railings, enjoying the fireworks as they continued their conversation.
"Mr. Hope!" Mia's voice suddenly rang out from behind Baiyi. He turned around and saw the little girl smiling at him.
Today, Mia was wearing the dress that he had given her, which could change color according to the light. At this moment, the dress was illuminated by the colorful fireworks in the sky. Mia was as beautiful as a fairy in the night sky.
"Yup! My Mia is even more beautiful than the fireworks!" Baiyi nodded his head in satisfaction and waved at the little girl. Mia obediently moved closer to him and rested her head on his waist, admiring the beautiful fireworks in the sky with Baiyi.
"It's so beautiful …" Mia praised from the bottom of her heart.
"Yeah … It's nice to be able to enjoy the festivities in peace," Baiyi said. Baiyi said. Taking advantage of the fact that Mia's guard was down, he reached out and grabbed her slender shoulders.
Mia did not show the slightest sign of objection. Instead, she leaned even closer to him and stole a glance from the fireworks to the Soul Armature. Finally, she recalled the legend of the Harvest Festival. Her little fists clenched tightly as she mustered up all her courage and said, "Mr. Hope, I like you."
"I know, I know." Baiyi nodded and ruffled Mia's hair affectionately. "I like you too," he replied naturally.
Even though Mia had gotten a response, it was clearly not the answer she was looking for. It was not the kind of love she was looking for. She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed red, and she let out a whimper.
Fortunately, Mordred appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Mia's arm. "Mia, Mia! Come here! There's a spot over here where we can have a better view!" Mordred said excitedly.
"Eh? Eh? W-wait … "Mia wanted to refuse, but Mordred's strength was stronger than hers. She forcefully dragged Mia away, leaving Baiyi alone.
Aya, who was dressed in a youthful and beautiful outfit, appeared beside Baiyi.
"Mr. Hope." Aya gave Baiyi a slight nod. She had drunk a little, but her cheeks were slightly flushed, which made her look even more adorable. The flashing lights in the sky made her look even more dazzling, as if she was wearing a layer of gauze.
"Oh? You still have time to spare? I saw that you were quite popular, "Baiyi said half-jokingly, admiring Aya's beauty.
"They're all Father's friends," Aya replied. As Aya spoke, she playfully stuck out her tongue like a little girl. "It took me a lot of effort to get some free time."
"That's probably the trouble of beauty," Baiyi said. He lifted his head to enjoy the fireworks again. It was not easy for him to enjoy a festival, and he did not know when he would get another chance to do so.
Aya took advantage of Baiyi's distraction to clench her right fist in front of her chest. As if she had made up her mind, she took a few steps closer to Baiyi.
Unintentionally or not, the two of them were already very close, but Aya was not satisfied. She did something even bolder — she gently hooked her arm around Baiyi's.
Baiyi tilted his head slightly and saw Aya's beautiful face smiling at him. Her emerald eyes were filled with hope as she gazed at him.
They were so close that Baiyi could smell the faint fragrance on Aya's body. He felt awkward, and he said in a low voice, "Um … I —"
In the end, Aya took the initiative to speak, interrupting him.
"Mr. Hope, can I be Mia's mother?"
She quickly averted her eyes, not daring to look at Baiyi's expression.
"How is this possible?" Baiyi gently removed his arm from Aya's grasp and said in a serious tone, "Mia is my most important student. No one is allowed to take her away from me!"
In an instant, tears gushed out of Aya's eyes like a broken dam. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she slowly took two steps back. In a low voice, she scolded, "Idiot! Big idiot! " With that, she turned and ran away, leaving Baiyi with only a glimpse of her beautiful back. The tears that flowed down her cheeks shone brightly in the sky along with the fireworks.
"Is this really okay?" The Assassin asked in the Void. "She looks so pitiful."
"I thought it would make her feel better, but she still cried," Baiyi said helplessly.
"You did the right thing. She's not suitable for you." The Warrior Walker, who usually did not speak much, agreed with Baiyi's actions.
"Sigh! I brought a few pretty girls with me, but I was still the only one watching the fireworks," Baiyi lamented as he raised his head again. "Sigh! I brought a few pretty girls with me, but I'm still the only one watching the fireworks."
"Me too," the Warrior Walker said in a low voice. No matter how Baiyi asked her, she did not say a word.
'This girl … is really weird,' Baiyi thought to himself. However, he quickly adjusted his emotions and continued to enjoy the fireworks in the sky. At that moment, the fireworks had reached its climax, and the whole sky looked as if it had been set ablaze.
"This show is amazing!" Baiyi exclaimed. "Look at those meteors! They look so real! Whoa! They actually hit the floating island? The special effects of the explosions are so realistic! How did they do it? "
"Eh? Wait a minute … "Baiyi looked at the sky, which was getting more and more intense." Isn't this a little too realistic? "
As soon as he said that, a thunderclap sounded in the sky. It sounded as if the realm was being torn apart. Along with the sound, meteors that were burning in flames appeared in the dark sky one after another, falling mercilessly towards the land and the sea.
"This … Could this be the realm collapsing?" The Bard in the Void shouted.
Then, the whole Void burst into an uproar.
"Calm down! This is just a technical adjustment!" Baiyi shouted in the Void. "How can a realm collapse happen without any warning?"
"If there was a warning, didn't there already be one in front?" The Third Walker suddenly said coldly. "But this is not the realm collapsing. How can there be meteors in our world?"
He was a Walker who had seen a lot of things, so he was much calmer than the Bard.
"This isn't my fault, right?" Baiyi asked again.
"You still have time to care about this? Hurry up and think of something! "The Paladin Walker was anxious.
As soon as he said that, Baiyi suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet disappear. It was as if someone had suddenly sucked out the ground, and he was falling. Suddenly, he was surrounded by screams.
"The floating islands are falling!" Baiyi immediately deduced the situation. He looked up at the sky and saw that the floating islands, which were originally floating like stars in the sky, were falling rapidly. The highest floating islands were falling so fast that the friction with the air caused sparks to appear. This was the truth of the meteors that Baiyi had seen.
"As expected, the Voidwalkers do not deserve to have a festival!" Baiyi smiled bitterly. He quickly cast a levitation spell on himself and floated in the air. Then, he found the panicking girls in the crowd, as well as Aya and her son, and used his mana to pull them to his side.
The girls, who were still in shock, did not even have the time to ask questions before they heard the loud sound of a heavy object falling into the water. Then, a thunderous sound came from all directions.
Then, the girls saw a monstrous wave that was even higher than the height they were floating at. It was engulfed in darkness, and like a gigantic black wall, it came crashing down on them from all directions.
It was obvious that the waterproof enchantment could not withstand such a monstrous wave.
The girls immediately screamed in Baiyi's ears, almost interrupting his chanting.
At that moment, the Saint Quartz Staff was already in Baiyi's hand. The moment he saw the monstrous wave crashing down on him, he calmly began to chant. Three aquamarine formations simultaneously appeared above his head, chest, and feet.
"Extract the essence of the elements, the true mystery, only I know. Triple ice, Sijon's Endless Tremors!"
