Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 710 Rosamund and her brother-in-law (Two chapters combined, please vote!)
"You three, go and clean the first floor."

Zaobo, the branch manager of the Ether Foundation, looked friendly, but his words and actions were quite arrogant.

And he certainly has reason to be proud.

"Yes, Mr. Zaobo."

Opposite him were two people and a cat, who were Zaobo's newly recruited subordinates from yesterday.

Originally, I was just curious about the talking cats and planned to do some research on them, but who knew that these three guys would be so surprisingly useful.

Whatever task you assign them, they complete it simply, quickly, and meticulously.

So, cleaning an entire floor of this huge house only requires two people and a cat, saving him a lot of labor costs, which he can then use for some of his more private and secretive research.

Having received a satisfactory reply, Zaobo put his hands behind his back and muttered somewhat resentfully:

"Just a teacher, so what if he's a little bit talented? Why make such a big fuss?"

Before leaving the room, he suddenly turned back and emphasized:
"Remember, your mission area is limited to the first floor. You are not allowed to go to the second or third floor, or even the basement downstairs."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room, not forgetting to mutter, "But you don't have the right to go in anyway."

Only after Zaobo left did the two people and the cat finally look up.

That's right, it's the Rockets' trio!
After Jinghe was unable to obtain all the information about the Ether Foundation through the "UB Countermeasures Department," he made two preparations.

One of these measures was to send the trio undercover into the Ether Foundation.

As for how they got in or how they infiltrated, Jing He didn't care. With the trio's abilities, they had plenty of ways to get in.

This is not.

The trio originally planned to use the "Sweetness" and berries they had stored from the bear to earn some money to build a submarine and secretly infiltrate the Aether Foundation. However, not long after they set up their stall, Zaobo took a liking to them and brought them back.

Looking in the direction Zaobo left, Musashi was the first to lose his temper, rolling up his sleeves and cursing:

"What kind of person is this! How dare you talk nonsense about Teacher Jinghe? When you actually face Teacher Jinghe, you won't even have time to cry!"

"Exactly! Exactly!" Kojiro chimed in.

It's one thing for Zaobo to show disdain for the three of them, but what makes him think he dares to look down on Teacher Jinghe?

If I didn't have a mission to complete, and if the salary wasn't actually that good, I would have gone up and beaten him up long ago!
After venting their frustrations, the trio began to examine the first floor of the largest building in Ether Paradise.

It's really big, and cleaning it will definitely take a lot of time, but...
"That green-haired guy said we shouldn't go to the second floor, the third floor, or the basement, meow." Meow rubbed her chin and said confidently, "I suspect the kid wearing the bear costume is very likely on one of those floors, meow!"

"That's right!"

Still fuming, Musashi looked around. "Should we go to the second floor or the basement first?"

"I just saw that guy come up from the basement, acting all mysterious," Kojiro said.

"Then let's go to the basement first!" Musashi decided.

As for saying.

Those security doors that require identity verification to block them.
Sorry, but doors have never been a barrier for the Rockets' trio.

Meow Meow quickly and efficiently fixed the security door leading to the dark basement.

The trio sneaked in stealthily.

at the same time.

Jinghe and his group arrived safely at Etherland. Led by the butler James, they arrived at Rosamune's house, located behind Etherland.

At the entrance, they encountered Zaobo and Biko, who seemed to be waiting there.

Biko is the vice minister of the Ether Foundation, a position similar to that of Lusamine's secretary. She manages all affairs of Ether Paradise, much like the head steward of the entire Ether Foundation.

“Alora, welcome to the Paradise of Aether,” Zaobo said with a smile.

"Alola, welcome everyone." Bike also had a big smile on her face.

Upon seeing the two, Lillie bowed very politely and said, "Thank you both for coming to welcome us."

Bi Ke smiled gently, "Lillie, everyone, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

Zaobo then said with a hint of teasing, "It seems like it's been a long time since you've been to Etherland, Miss Lillie."

Lillie's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I told you not to call me Miss anymore, didn't I?"

“But a young lady is a young lady.” Zaobo said, his hands behind his back.

“By the way, where is Mother?” Lillie asked.

“Madam has been waiting inside for quite some time,” Biko said.

Jing He and Dr. Barnett watched their conversation silently from the sidelines, while Mamane, Mao, and the others kept exclaiming "Wow, wow!"

Zaobo couldn't help but purse his lips, lowering his voice as if talking to himself:
"What a rude and ill-mannered bunch of brats. I bet the teacher is the same."

Others might not hear his mutterings, but for Jing He, who possessed the waveguide, it was as if someone was talking badly about him in front of him.
I couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

“Teacher Jinghe, Madam apologized that she was too busy to greet you in person, but she said that if you arrive, you can go directly to her study to find her.”

After finishing her sentence, Biko addressed Lillie and the others:
"Lillie, why don't you take your friends on a tour of the Etherland first?"

He immediately opened the door and gestured for Jinghe to enter.

Zaobo pouted.

As Jing He approached, Bike led Lillie, Dr. Barnett, and the others away. Zaobo's eyes darted around, and he quickly pressed his face against the door, wanting to hear what they were talking about inside.

What if it threatens his position?

But as he listened, Zaobo realized something.

That's not right. They're talking in the study, so there's no point in him listening at the door.

Just came to my senses.

Turned his head.

He saw a chubby little boy with purple skin, just like him, "eavesdropping" on the door.

Ok?
Zaobo was taken aback.

Gengar?

Gengar noticed that Zaobo had spotted it, and grinned, giving Zaobo a "friendly" greeting.

"Giggle~Ψ(｀▽)Ψ"

Gengar immediately darted into the doorway.

As for Zaobo, he remained frozen in place.

Gengar, who had slipped inside, blinked twice at Jinghe. Jinghe chuckled softly, everything understood without a word.

Zaobo?
Jing He admitted that he was a talented researcher, and among villainous scientists, his abilities were perhaps second only to Akroma of the Plasma Team.

His greatest inventions were probably his involvement in the development of the Ultimate Ball and the "Attribute: Void Project"!
Not many people may know about the attribute: Void, but Silvally after its transformation is more well-known and is nicknamed "Little Arceus"!

It can freely switch its own attributes based on the "attribute disc," just like Arceus's tablet.

The fact that he created Pokémon, and even imitated Arceus's creation of Pokémon, is a remarkable achievement.

Of course, Zaobo only participated in the plan, not created it entirely independently, and it is unknown how much he contributed to the plan.

It is still somewhat inferior to Akroma, who can control Kyurem and has successively developed the "Akroma Machine" that allows Kyurem to fuse with the Black and White Dragons and Necrozma to fuse with the Sun and Moon Gods.

and.

In Jing He's opinion, Zaobo is clever to a certain extent, but his mind doesn't really resemble that of a scientist.

"A little lesson is enough," Jing He said softly, feeling relieved.

Our teacher Jinghe, or rather our Jing family, is notoriously petty.

dong dong——

I gently knocked on the study door.

"Please come in."

Push the door open and enter.

Wearing a short skirt and tight white pants that hugged her long legs, Rosamund, dressed as always, was sitting at her desk, busy grading something.

She doesn't look like a mother of two at all.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Jing He, he revealed a gentle smile and put down his pen.

"Teacher Jinghe, I apologize for not being able to greet you in person due to being busy with other matters."

As he said this, he made a gesture of invitation.

Jing He didn't stand on ceremony and sat down opposite him.

A Picosi walked in carrying a cup of coffee.

"I heard that Professor Jinghe really likes coffee? It's a specialty of our Alola region. I hope you'll like it."

"Skin~"

Piccolo politely placed the coffee in front of Jinghe.

"Thank you," Jing He said with a smile to Pi Kexi.

"Skin~"

Pixi bowed slightly, showing considerable friendliness towards Jinghe.

After delivering the coffee, it prepared to leave, and then saw Jinghe's Gengar by the door.

"Genga? (Tilting head)"

"Pi? (Tilting head)"

Gengar seemed to see its own "true form," while Clefairy seemed to see its own "shadow," and unconsciously looked down at the shadow at its feet.

It hasn't become a spirit.
"Chairwoman Lusamine, no, I should say Lillie's parent."

After taking a sip of coffee, Jing He got straight to the point:

"Lillie's grades are outstanding, especially in theory, where she gets almost perfect scores, but when it comes to Pokémon..."

Rosamina's expression remained unchanged, her smile unchanged.

"Lillie has always been somewhat averse to Pokémon and has a fear of them."

Before he could finish speaking, Jing He suddenly interrupted him:

"Is it?"

He looked at Rosamund, his voice becoming more serious, and asked in return:

"Was Lillie really afraid of Pokémon since she was a child?"

He emphasized the word "from childhood".

Upon hearing this, Lusamine was taken aback. Of course, she could also hear the questioning tone in Jing He's voice, but what puzzled her even more was how Jing He, as an outsider, could possibly know her daughter better than she did.
But upon closer reflection, it seems...
When Lillie was little, she wasn't afraid of Pokémon at all, and even kept a Clefairy as a pet.

When did Lillie start to fear Pokémon?

Looking at Lusamine's expression, Jinghe was both angry and amused.

It's truly astonishing that a mother could neglect her child to this extent.
“Teacher Jinghe,” Lusamine suddenly called out.

"Ok?"

Then, Rosamina pressed her hands against her temples, rubbing them gently with a tired expression, and said in a low voice:

"Could you do me a favor?"

help?

Jing He leaned back slightly in her chair and stretched out her hand, saying:
"Please say."

“As the chairperson of the Ether Foundation, we would like to appoint you as a special advisor,” Lusamine said.

Special Advisor?

"Is this 'helping'?" Jing He frowned.

I'm here for a home visit, not to apply for a job, and certainly not...
How come the topic suddenly changed while we were talking?

“No, what I mean is,” Lusamine carefully chose her words, “I would like to ask Professor Jinghe to help me explore the Ultimate Void and the Ultimate Space!”

Jinghe looked up at Lusamine and saw a hint of infatuation and intense obsession in her eyes.

"call--"

Jing He let out a soft breath, but before he could speak, Lusamine continued:

"After the UB invasion incident on Porn Island, I realized that you, Teacher Jinghe, are perhaps the person who can help me the most and help me achieve my goals."

"What do you want to do?" Jing He frowned, slowly sat up straight, and looked serious.

Rosamina seemed oblivious to his change in expression; a slight smile played on her lips as she spoke softly but firmly:

"I want to enter the ultimate space!"

! !
“This is no joke, Chairperson Lusamine,” Jing He said in a deep voice.

"I know, I understand."

Lusamine looked directly at Jing He and said with certainty, "That's why we wanted to hire you. Teacher Jing He, with your strength and ability, if even you can't do it, I think there aren't many people in the entire Pokémon world who can."

Originally, it was Guzma from Team Skull who was supposed to be working with Lusamine.

But what about comparing Guzma to Teacher Jinghe?
Putting these two names together is already giving Guzma a bit too much credit.

Especially after witnessing Jinghe's strength at the Sun Wheel Altar on Poni Island and his ability to appease the entire UB: Needle Clan, Lusamine developed a strong liking for such a talent.

"We'll see," Jinghe said, rubbing her temples.

Ultimate Space is no joke.

Although the Aether Foundation in the anime did develop special protective suits and conduct further research on Ultra Space and Ultra Void.

but.
The existence of the Ultimate Metropolis and Necrozma's slumber within the Ultimate Dimension made Jing He wary of the Ultimate Dimension.

Rosamina smiled slightly.

"Commission. No, deposit, 50 million Alliance Coins."

Jing He: "."

He stared at Lusamine.

No, are you really using this to test your cadres?
This time.

I say no to money, the evil thing!
"let me consider it."

Lusamine's smile widened, and just as she was about to speak, Jing He reached out and interrupted her.

He said with difficulty:

"Lillie's parents, let's talk about Lillie's problem first!"

Lusamine snapped out of her daze, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Chairwoman Lusamine could speak fluently about the Ultimate Hole, the Ultimate Space, and the Aether Foundation, and she knew everything about Jinghe, whether he wanted to talk about development or new research.

But speaking of Lillie
After a long silence, Lusamine finally let out a soft sigh.

"I remember now, Lillie's problem. I've had quite a few people look into it before, but..."

She smoothed her loose hair.

"Actually, not getting involved with Pokémon is fine too. In this world, not everyone has to become a Pokémon Trainer, right?"

indeed.

Even in the Pokémon world, not everyone can become a trainer.

But
“Lillie loves Pokémon,” Jing He said firmly, her face expressionless.

"Like it?"

"Lusamine murmured."

"If she doesn't like it, why does she go to Pokémon school? If she doesn't like it, why does she work so hard to learn about Pokémon? As Lillie's mother, didn't you ask her if she liked it or not, and why she was afraid?"

Jing He stared into Lusamine's eyes.

Lusamine, whose spirit had been dampened by Jing He's gaze, was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and said:

"Teacher Jinghe, you are truly a responsible, conscientious, and trustworthy teacher."

After composing a remark to keep herself from losing her composure, Rosamund said:
"I asked Zaobo, and he said that Lillie and Gladio got lost in the lab and slept there overnight. Perhaps because they had a nightmare, Lillie was..."

"So, you still didn't ask, right?" Jing He crossed her arms.

“They’re just children, Zaobo.”

Jing He didn't say anything more, but stood up directly.

Under Lusamine's questioning gaze, Jing He glanced at her and said:

“I can help Lillie, but when it comes to a child, I need to get her guardian’s consent.”

Lusamine looked at Jing He, but before she could speak, Jing He immediately said:

"Then I'll take it as Ms. Rosamune that you agree."

Lusamine: "?"

Jing He straightened her clothes, got up, and walked out of the study. She glanced at Gengar, who was staring intently at Clefairy, lightly patted its head, and said irritably:

"What are you standing there for? Keep up!"

After meeting the parents of Mao, Shui Lian, and Kachi, Jing He, as a teacher, was genuinely angry when she saw Lusamine again.

"Oh"

Lusamine, who was behind the desk, instinctively shrank her neck, stood up, and responded in a low voice.

"Gengar?" Gengar turned its head in confusion, looked at Lusamine, and pointed at itself.

Huh? Wasn't Jing He calling me?
Then, to Jinghe and Gengar's astonishment, Lusamine jogged up to catch up with Jinghe.

"You're here, Teacher Jinghe. But...where are you going?"

Jinghe: "?"

Ether Paradise, first floor.

"This is where everyone works," Biko introduced with a smile.

"The second floor is the mimicry zone, where many Pokémon live."

"The third floor is..."

"Eh? Miss Biko, which way does this lead?" The energetic girl, Mao, asked curiously, pointing to the open, dark door in the corner.

"The door to the underground research lab? How could that be?"

Biko looked surprised.

The underground research lab is a secret location belonging to the Aether Foundation. How could the door be open?

Could it be that Zaobo left in such a hurry that he forgot to close the door?

"Here...here."

Upon seeing the basement passage, Lillie's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural, and fear was evident in her eyes.

"Lillie, what's wrong?" The observant Shui Lian noticed Lillie's condition.

"Everyone, this is the secret of the Ether Paradise."

Biko didn't finish her sentence.

boom! ! !
A loud bang suddenly came from the passage leading to the underground research lab, causing the expressions of everyone present to change.

Barnett and Bick exchanged a glance and ran into the passageway.

After exchanging glances, the little ones followed.

Lillie bit her lip, watched everyone leave, and after a brief hesitation, she gritted her teeth and followed.

"Damn it! That despicable bastard! How dare he mock me, the dignified branch manager of the Ether Foundation!"

Zaobo patted his slightly sore neck, looking at Teacher Jinghe and Lusamine who were leaving together, and shouted angrily.

Drip!

suddenly.

An alarm on his body went off.

Zaobo's expression changed.

Research lab!
He took out the equipment, switched to the lab's camera, and just then saw Lillie and her group entering the basement.

"It happened!"

Zaobo immediately disregarded his pain and ran quickly toward the research lab.

"Huh? Not here?"

Lusamine looked at the empty floor with a hint of confusion on her face.

He then smiled apologetically at Jing He and said:

"Please wait a moment, Teacher Jinghe, let me ask you something."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed Zaobo's number.

"Zaobo, can you check where Lillie and the others are visiting right now?"

"Chairwoman Lusa Mina!" Zaobo's heavy breathing came through the phone. "She might have gone to the second floor, or maybe the third. There's a problem with the surveillance equipment, and I'm on my way to fix it!"

"The second floor?"

Lusamine hung up the phone, looked up at the second floor, and said to Jing He:

"Teacher Jinghe, Lillie and the others might have gone to the second floor."

But Jinghe seemed not to hear her and walked towards the basement.

"Gengga~ Gengga~"

Gengar waved to Lusamine.

"basement?"

Rosamina was surprisingly "well-behaved" and followed along.

Just before Jinghe and Lusamine went to the research lab, while the two were still sitting and talking in the study.

The underground research lab, B2, is Zaobo's private research space.

boom! !

A boy dressed in a black bodysuit, with a red shoulder bag around his waist and a tuft of golden bangs on his forehead, looking somewhat unconventional or rebellious, clenched his fist.

A Shadow Ball released by an Umbreon beside him broke the cage mechanism in front of him.

click -

Steam rose, and the cage slowly opened.

Accompanied by heavy metallic clanging sounds, a four-limbed creature resembling a wild beast slowly emerged.

Its forelegs resemble claws, its hind legs resemble feet, and it has a fish tail, making it look rather strange.

What is most striking is undoubtedly its enormous metal helmet and the axe-like structure on it, which appears exceptionally heavy.

The boy became extremely agitated upon seeing the creature.

“Attribute: Empty!” he shouted.

"Roar"

A voice came from beneath the heavy metal mask.

"Sorry, attribute: empty, I actually believed Zaobo's nonsense!"

A look of guilt crossed the boy's face, but he quickly cheered up again, "He's not here today, let's leave as soon as possible!"

This boy is none other than Lillie's older brother, Lusamine's other child, and her brother-in-law Gladgio!
"Roar!"

Attribute: When it approaches the boy, it appears ferocious and menacing, but it does not show any hostility towards the boy. On the contrary, it seems very friendly.

"go!"

Gladion immediately left with the attribute: Empty. It will be troublesome when Zaobo comes back.

however.

As Gladion, with its Aspect Rating: Sky and Umbreon, hurriedly left the research lab, it happened to run into Lillie and the others who had stopped after hearing the commotion.

“Gargio?” Biko looked puzzled when she saw “Young Master”.

"Brother?" Lillie was also somewhat surprised.

However, the one with the strongest reaction was Gragi herself, "Lillie, you, how did you get here?"

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he flashed to block the path of the attribute: Empty.

But it's still too late.

Upon seeing the attribute: Empty, with its ferocious appearance, Lillie froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. Her face turned pale, her whole body trembled, and her eyes were filled with deep terror.

"Lilia!"

Seeing that Lillie was about to fall, Mao and the others immediately rushed over to help her up.

"Quick! Call a doctor!" Biko shouted hurriedly.

Barnett carefully helped Lillie sit on the ground, then looked at Gladio, who looked remorseful, and seemed to understand Lillie's brother, knowing why Lillie was like this.

So the question was asked:
"What's going on with Lillie?"

"How could you bring Lillie to the basement!" Gladio roared angrily.

But his heart was filled with self-reproach.

He never expected that Lillie and the others would suddenly enter the underground research lab and encounter the attribute: Void, which became a "nightmare" for Lillie.

At this time.

"Lilia!"

Lusamine, who happened to be with Jinghe, saw Lillie sitting stiffly on the ground with a look of fear on her face and quickly ran over.

“Lady Rosamune,” Biko hurriedly greeted respectfully.

But Gladion showed hostility, pulling Lillie into his arms and reaching out to stop Lusamine from getting closer.

"do not come!"

"Gladio, you!" Lusamine was somewhat taken aback, but still asked, "Gladio, what happened to Lillie?"

"What's wrong?" Gladio laughed in exasperation. "Isn't it all thanks to you, Mother?"

"I?"

Lusamine was even more astonished.

She just arrived, what does it have to do with her?
"Isn't it because you let Zaobo do as he pleased, allowing him to open the Ultimate Void without permission, that Lillie was attacked?"

"Zaobo... opened the Ultimate Hole without permission?" Lusamine was even more astonished.

Bick and Barnett, standing to the side, had similar expressions.

Open the ultimate hole?

Gladion roared, "Didn't you want to meet the Ultra Beasts? Isn't that what you've been hoping for? Even when Lillie was attacked by Ultra Beasts, you still wanted to see them. Aren't you just that kind of person?!"

"Gargio!" Lusamine's voice suddenly rose as she heard her son's rebuke.

But Gladio wasn't going to tolerate her, and roared even louder:
"Don't you find it strange at all that she suddenly can't touch Pokémon?!"

Today, this is the second person to ask her this question.

Lusamine was stunned.

"No matter how Zaobo tries to hide or deceive, have you ever listened to us? Don't you prefer to believe Zaobo? Lillie had to seal her memories because of this, and you, as her mother..."

Gladgio released all the resentment he had accumulated over the years.

After all, even as his son, he rarely gets to see Rosamund.

"I...I..." Lusamine's lips trembled.

Stop saying "I, I, I" and move aside!

Jing He's annoyed voice came as she walked over to Lillie's side.

"Who are you?" Gragio frowned, looking at Jing He warily.

"Teacher Jinghe!"

"Teacher Jinghe is here!"

Mao and the others watched a "family drama" before noticing that Jing He had also arrived.

"Teacher Jinghe," Gladgio's eyes slowly widened.

He had heard some rumors about Teacher Jinghe.

This is an incredibly powerful man!
The usually domineering mother, Lusamine, actually stepped aside when she heard Teacher Jinghe's irritating words.

“Uncle. Bah, Gladio, you’re wrong about one thing: Lillie’s memories are not self-sealed.”

Jinghe gently lifted the little girl and brought her to her side.

As a teacher, I really have to worry about everything.

"Not self-sealing?" Gladio and Lusamine looked shocked.

"Although I am not a superpowered person, as a psychology teacher, I can only say that this is a really crude method of tampering with memories."

Because of Lillie's "breakdown," in her terror, some "traces" of her memories were fully revealed.

Gladion and Lusamine exchanged a glance.

"Since you don't know, then I'll show you."

Jing He called out softly, "Nine-Tailed Fox."

"Ow~"

Ninetales leaped out of its Poké Ball, and understanding Jing He's meaning, a glimmer of psychic power immediately appeared in its eyes.

By connecting to the Rotom Pokédex, the scene of Lillie being attacked by Nihilego is presented.

Zaobo opened the Ultra Void without permission, and Nihilego appeared, attacking Lillie. Lillie was saved by Silvally, and Zaobo erased her memories.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Zaobo was sweating profusely as he watched the monitor. He had just run into the underground research lab when he saw what was happening on the monitor.

His gaze swept around.

They discovered the trio quietly preparing to leave.

"you!"

He shouted at the three of them sharply, yelling somewhat frantically, "Now! Go in and cause chaos! The bigger the commotion, the better! Give me a chance to take Miss Lillie away!"

"us?"

The trio slowly turned around and pointed to themselves.

Who are we going to deal with?
Teacher Jinghe?

"As long as I can bring Miss Lillie back, I can once again use the power of the Dream Eater to further erase Miss Lillie's memories!"

Zaobo rambled on about his plans.

"Erase, memory," Musashi repeated softly, his face darkening.

"As long as you cause damage, I will not only not hold you accountable, but I will also give you a special bonus!"

"Erase, memory," Kojiro repeated calmly, head bowed.

"What are you doing?" Meow Meow gritted her teeth, her face darkening.

"Are you kidding me?!" ×3
"Swoosh~ Nam hiss~!"

Bear!
Flames seemed to rise from their bodies.

"What do you take us for! You bastards!" ×3
Zaobo stared at them in astonishment.

"I can't stand it anymore, let's get him!" Musashi immediately rolled up his sleeves.

"Get him!" Kojiro shouted as well.

"Kill him, meow!" Meow Meow was the first to strike, immediately unleashing her ultimate move: a frenzied claw attack!

"Abo monster!"

"Double bomb gas!"

"UB01: Parasitism?"

"The Ultimate Cave?"

"Zaobo!"

Having witnessed the “entire process,” Lusamine, Biko, Gladion, and the others spoke up with varying expressions.

"Lillie!" Lusamine snatched Lillie away, hugged her tightly, rested her head on Lillie's, and, with tears streaming down her face, repeated with deep remorse, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Lillie."

Having regained her senses and faced her memories, Lillie felt Lusamine's embrace.

"Mother."

"Great!" Gladio sat down on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.

When Lillie saw the attribute behind her again: empty, she was no longer afraid; instead, she showed gratitude and guilt.

If it weren't for her, Sildenafil wouldn't have been sealed away, nor would it have been imprisoned by Zaobo.

While everyone was immersed in the joy and gratitude of Lillie's recovery, Jinghe and Gengar stood aside, resting their chins on their hands and gently rubbing them, their expressions a little serious.

"Why... do I seem to see Akromar from the other side of that Ultimate Hollow in Lillie's memories?"

"Genga~"

Gengar was also somewhat uncertain, and nodded hesitantly.
