Well, I'd give it a passing grade, it's passable.

【Tch~~~】

Holding the black box in his arms, Mo Mo waved to Karen.

"Karen!!!"

Just then, a frantic shout suddenly came from outside the church.

It's that bastard Otto! He actually woke up!

[Oh no!] Mo Mo looked down at himself, his appearance mirroring Karen's. [I absolutely cannot let him see me like this!]

Something terrible is going to happen!

He tucked the black box into his arms, then strode to Karen's side and picked her up.

"Mo, Momo?" Karen blushed as she was suddenly carried in a princess carry again.

"Shh." Making a shushing gesture with the corner of his mouth, Mo Mo, holding Karen, jumped upwards and leaped out of the broken window of the church.

"Karen!!! Are you alright!!!" Otto stumbled into the church, his breathless cries echoing in the empty space.

However, all that remained was devastation and Eleanor lying unconscious in the ruins.

A purple figure flashed out from the broken high window of the church. The weight in his arms did not affect his agile movements. He twisted and turned in the air and landed safely on the roof next to the church.

Setting Karen down from his arms, Mo Mo turned around and looked at the towering church behind him.

The still luxurious exterior conceals the dilapidated state inside, but it probably can't be used anymore... right?

Fortunately, no one will arrest me at this time on charges of vandalism.

Don't you have enough crimes to list?

[Hehe, anyway, they can't catch me now.]

"Um..." Karen asked hesitantly from behind, "You should still be Momo, right?"

Although she witnessed it with her own eyes, this unprecedented reality still challenged Kallen's ability to accept it.

"Heh." Turning around, Mo Mo extended a finger and lightly lifted Karen's chin. His azure eyes beneath the mask reflected a captivating magic that drew the eye. "What a difficult question to answer, beautiful lady. Who do you think I am? Or, who do you wish I were?"

The playful smile on one side contrasted sharply with the blush that gradually rose on the other.

"It should still be Momo, right?" Karen's gaze was somewhat unfocused, her hands flailing nervously behind her back. "It's just that I'm not used to you like this... you know?"

"..." Mo Mo silently withdrew his hand.

Reaching for the driver at her waist, she pulled out a card. With a short beep, the silver-haired figure gradually vanished into a blur, and the purple dress returned to its original tattered state. Only the silver-white driver remained unchanged.

When the person in front of her turned back to her familiar appearance, Karen inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

"Momo, you..."

In response to Karen's question, Mo Mo made a pause gesture and stepped back, saying, "Please wait a moment."

Mo Mo quickly turned away, covering her head as a surging tide of emotions churned within her mind.

What the hell did I say?!

[I told you, you were so lewd just now it was unbearable to watch. Now you know what shame is?]

【That wasn't my fault!!!!! Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, what will Karen think of me now!!!】 If the situation hadn't prevented it, Mo Mo, bursting with shame, would probably have collapsed to the ground and rolled off the roof. 【She definitely thinks I'm a weirdo!】

Ugh, so embarrassing, I want to die.

It's all this damn system's fault for not giving me a Knight Card!

What's all the fuss about? Don't you have eyes? Look for yourself.

【...】

He turned his head slightly, glancing at Karen behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Her expression was hidden in the slightly lowered shadows, making it impossible to see her whole face; only faint hints of blush could be glimpsed.

They didn't seem to mind at all.

【fortunately......】

[戚, meaning promising or accomplished.]

"Momo, what exactly happened just now..." After Momo turned around and regained his composure, it was Karen who broke the increasingly awkward silence.

However, Karen didn't seem to know how to accurately describe what had just happened, gesturing for a long time but still unable to give a rough explanation.

Suddenly one day, someone you know transforms into your appearance, starts spouting witty remarks, dons graduation attire, uses your family's traditional gun-fighting (military) skills, and finally kicks the artifact to pieces.

Even science fiction wouldn't dare use such a setting.

It's a testament to Karen's experience that she didn't turn into a complete mess.

After a long silence, she pointed at the card in Mo Mo's hand and finally managed to stammer out, "That's..."

"Ahem, it's nothing serious." Mo Mo "generously" waved the card in front of Karen's eyes.

"No, it's no big deal? Do you know how much effort I put into this thing? And you used it to pick up girls? I'm so pissed off!"

The constant mental pollution caused cracks to gradually appear on Mo Mo's smile, but fortunately, Karen's attention was completely drawn to the card depicting her figure.

No matter how you look at it, it is a "painting" that is more lifelike than that of the most skilled painters of the time.

Looking again at the driver on Momo's waist, Karen seemed to vaguely understand something.

"So that's how it is..." Karen murmured to herself, nodding.

Although it's unclear what exactly she understood.

"Although I don't quite understand yet, you saved me this time, Momo. If it weren't for you, I probably would have..." Karen scratched her head sheepishly, her eyes filled with an ambiguous look.

"..." Just as Karen was still in a daze, Mo Mo took out the black box from his pocket and handed it to her, "Miss Karen, this is for you."

The sealed box looked nothing special at the moment, like an ordinary, lifeless object.

“That was the power Miss Karen lent me, so please don’t say that.” Putting the card away, Mo Mo continued, “As for what to do with this, it should really be left to Miss Karen to decide.”

Aren't you interested in it?

What interest could I possibly have in something so dangerous...?

It's a shame, I was actually quite curious about that.

【...】

After taking the black box from Mo Mo's hand, Karen lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

No one understood better than her what kind of dangerous existence was sealed within this thing.

We must not allow it to wreak havoc on the world.

"I've made up my mind!" Karen suddenly raised her head, grasped Mo Mo's hand, and said firmly, "Mo Mo, I'm going to your homeland, Shenzhou!"

"Eh, eh?" Mo Mo was taken aback by the sudden "sneak attack".

Come with me!

"Eh!!!!!!!!!" Mo Mo felt as if his heart had been struck a heavy blow, and stammered, "This, this isn't a good idea, after all, we still..."

"Let's go find the immortals to seal this black box..." Karen, in her impassioned speech, suddenly paused. "Momo, what did you just say?"

"..." Mo Mo was silent for a long time. "No, it's nothing."

[Tsk, what are the three great illusions of life again? Mo Mo, do you remember?]

【gck!!】

“I once met the immortal on the battlefield. If it’s her, she must have a way.” As if she could see the road ahead, Karen was filled with motivation again. “Momo, you’ve heard of that immortal, haven’t you?”

"I have heard of it..." Mo Mo replied vaguely.

Who is that? Mo Zai, you didn't tell me.

"Um... it's that... flat... short burst... fifty thousand years... you know?"

Oh...who understands what you're saying?!

“But what about Destiny…” Although he knew that Karen’s defection was a foregone conclusion, Mo Mo still couldn’t help but ask.

"..." Karen's enthusiastic expression turned somewhat somber. "This is no longer the Destiny I know, or... I'm only now realizing the true Destiny."

"Miss Karen..."

“But I will not give up!” Kallen clenched her hands, and a flame seemed to burn again in her dim eyes. “No matter where I am, I will fight to protect the people. This is the belief of Kaslana!”

Don't worry, someone as stubborn as her won't just become withdrawn so easily. Although you're both pretty much the same, neither of you can really say anything about the other.

Do you think I can't tell you're calling me simple-minded?

"Ahem, Miss Karen, my hand hurts a little..."

"Sorry, I got a little excited." Karen smiled sheepishly. "Let's go together then, to find the immortal and seal this black box."

Ha, even a fool would know you'd agree.

"..." Mo Mo was silent for a moment, then released Karen's hand. "I'm sorry, Miss Karen, I probably can't go with you."

The atmosphere seemed to freeze at that moment.

[WTF? Did I hear that right? You just let such a great opportunity slip by? An elopement? It was practically a done deal! And you're telling me it fizzled out in the end?]

Can you tell me why?

“Although I really want to go with Miss Karen to find the immortal, I have things I have to do right now, so…” Mo Mo smiled apologetically as he fiddled with his earlobe, “I guess we have to say goodbye here.”

"It's alright!" Karen quickly waved her hand, but her smile was somewhat forced. "Finding the immortal... I can manage on my own."

"Feel sorry......"

[Tsk, destined to be single, you truly are something else.]
