As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

"So, regarding this absurd problem... let's just crack it now!"

"what?"

"Oh, right, right. Before we crack it, I want to ask you something: are you familiar with the Ten Commandments trials performed by Hercules? I've heard that in the Southern District, this is a real-life Gift Game."

"Of course," Shirayuki replied in surprise, because this was a very famous test.

Even if they are from different religions, it would be perfectly reasonable for Snow White, who possesses divine status, to know this.

The so-called "Ten Commandments" were divine trials accepted by the Greek hero Hercules to atone for the deaths of his wife and children. He had to face various formidable enemies, such as immortal water serpents, man-eating horses, and hellhounds, and pass the trials. It was considered one of the most difficult games of grace in Greek mythology.

"Even Hercules couldn't achieve ten consecutive victories; after being judged to have violated the rules twice, he challenged the trials a total of twelve times. The fifth trial in the Ten Commandments, the Stables of Augeas, is a test of adaptability:"

—Within a single day, the stubble on the cattle, which housed three thousand head of cattle and had not been cleaned for thirty years, was thoroughly cleaned.

In short, it's a disgusting, awful, and deliberately mischievous game. However, when faced with this task requiring wit, Hercules solved it using the river and a series of chaotic physical labors—you get the idea now, right?

Izayoi Sakamaki grinned slyly. Shirayuki-hime seemed to have deduced his thoughts as well, her face turning pale instantly.

"Wait...wait a minute! Kid, are you serious...?!"

"That's right! I'm always serious!"

As soon as Izayoi Sakamaki finished speaking, she immediately raised her right foot and kicked upwards with all her might.

The powerful shockwave swept across the riverbank, creating a crack. This crack stretched along a straight line, as if it were a pre-planted explosive, spewing out gravel and sand along its path with a force that seemed poised to pierce through the entire forest. The river water began to surge towards this crack that had suddenly appeared on the bank.

This scene looks like a waterway that has been temporarily built.

"Hahahaha!" With a loud laugh, Izayoi Sakamaki leaped forward as if trying to get ahead of the muddy current rushing into the waterway, then spread her arms wide and made a declaration.

"Since there are no lakes in the forest—why not just change the course of the river and create one ourselves?"

Princess Shirayuki staggered, as if she felt dizzy.

—Indeed, this is the answer Heracles gave when faced with the "stables of Augeas". He used brute force to change the course of the river, washing away the entire stable, and then insisted that he had "cleaned up the stable".

If Izayoi Sakamaki intends to imitate "Ogeas's Stables" and create a lake here using the river's flow, then half of Snow White's territory will surely be destroyed.

Once she came to her senses, Shirayuki screamed.

"Hey...hey! You idiot, stop it! Are you serious, you bastard?!"

However, it was all too late; Izayoi Sakamaki was serious.

He began to seriously feel a tiny bit of excitement and anticipation for this.

He even seriously considered adding "Always have fun and joke around seriously" to his motto.

As Izayoi Sakamaki spun around and landed forcefully, her fist, capable of shattering mountains and rivers, created a massive crater in the forest, shattering the earth and carving out a hole resembling a meteorite impact crater. A rumbling sound, reminiscent of planetary crustal movement, spread outwards, and water overflowing from the great river sprayed like a waterfall, gradually filling the hole.

—The owner of the Toli Tunis Falls still underestimates or fails to understand the boy.

This Izayoi Sakamaki is one of the most outstanding problem children in the world.

"You damned thing! Ever since I came to the Little Garden, I've been cursed with bad luck!"

Izayoi Sakamaki vigorously shook his soaked school uniform, wringing out the water as he walked along the path leading to the main building. Since being summoned to the Little Garden world, he had experienced being drenched to the bone several times. That was probably why his movements were so practiced now.

"You bastard, do you even know what you've done?!"

Shirayuki-hime glared angrily at Izayoi Sakamaki.

"But I won."

Izayoi Sakamaki said calmly, but at that moment, he suddenly paused, staring at the distant sky.

"what happened to you?"

Seemingly noticing Izayoi Sakamaki's strange behavior, Shirayuki turned her head with some confusion.

"That is......"

Princess Shirayuki stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the enormous floating island that had suddenly appeared in the sky.

"really interesting."

Izayoi Sakamaki left those words behind, then, ignoring the stunned Shirayuki-hime, leaped towards the Sky Island.

The island floating in the air, though quite high, was not unreachable for Izayoi Sakamaki.

They jumped to a place even higher than the Sky Island, and Izayoi Sakamaki looked up and saw that it was all trees.

"Hmm, that's..."

boom......

"DEN!!!!"

With a sharp cry, a huge red fist attacked Izayoi Sakamaki.

"Hey, Miss, even if you're unhappy, there's no need to resort to violence against me like this."

"Oh, it's you. I thought it was something strange."

Standing on Dean's shoulder, Kudo Asuka realized that Dean's target was Izayoi Sakamaki, and ordered Dean to stop attacking.

"DeN!!!"

"Dean! How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? Didn't I tell you that you're forbidden from shouting except during battle?"

“DeN......”

The massive red steel doll answered in a low voice.

It's incredible how Dean's massive body seems to shrink when he lowers his voice.

Izayoi Sakamaki shrugged, then looked up at the bird-like figure and asked her:

"Young Miss, how long have you been here?"

"Oh dear, Izayoi-kun, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I just arrived here myself."

"Really? By the way, Miss, how are your preparations going?"

"Of course I have no problem with it. Don't say that I'm mainly concerned about you right now. I remember that you haven't been able to find a suitable gift match for so many days."

"Don't worry about this. I am definitely more valuable than what you and Kasukabe have gained."

"Oh, then I'll be watching with anticipation."

At this point, Kudo Asuka suddenly shifted her gaze to a more central part of the Sky Island.

Seemingly noticing Kudo Asuka's gaze, Izayoi Sakamaki then lightly jumped onto Dean's other shoulder.

"Sorry to bother you."

"If you feel you're disturbing others, then leave."

"Then it won't be considered a disturbance."

"Then please proceed... By the way, what do you think is the purpose of this suddenly appearing sky island?"

"What I know is probably similar to what you know, but I think the answer to everything lies there."

Izayoi Sakamaki stretched out her hand, pointing only at the towering, enormous tree in the distance.

Just then, a strong wind suddenly blew in from above, and at the same time, Kasukabe Yoh's voice came through.

"You two came too?"

"Yes, Kasukabe-kun."

"Hmm, can I also bother the enemy's head?"

"Of course, please."

"Hey, what's wrong with you, Miss?!"

Izayoi Sakamaki protested, but Asuka Kudo turned her head away with a smug look on her face.

Kasukabe Yo spread his arms and legs wide, as if he were about to grab the enemy's head, and as soon as his head touched the ground, he exhaled forcefully.

"Have you made any discoveries?"

"We just arrived too, but we're about to go check out this floating island and uncover its hidden secrets."

"is it?"

After responding, Kasukabe Yo lay down on Dean's head more quietly than usual. Although this surprised Izayoi and the other girl, they guessed that Kasukabe Yo was probably tired, so they decided to let her rest.

As they headed toward the giant Zemu tree, the three encountered creatures along the way that seemed to exist only in their imagination.

"This is truly a magical place. That rabbit seems to be from a fairy tale I once read."

"Some kind of fairy tale, haha, I never expected the young lady to have this side to her."

"Is there anything strange about that?"

"No, no, no, but..."

Izayoi Sakamaki reached out and looked at the completely fearless little bird that had landed on his hand, saying:

"If, as you say, these creatures exist only in fairy tales or are fantastical beings from certain stories, then this forest is not as simple as we imagine."

"Do you really think an island that can float in the air is any simple place?"

"Ah, I didn't expect to be looked down upon by the young lady."

"Look, isn't that Abigail?"

Just as Izayoi Sakamaki and Asuka Kudo were chatting, Kasukabe Yo's voice suddenly broke in.

Looking in the direction Kasukabe Yo pointed, Kudo Asuka realized that she didn't see what Kasukabe Yo was seeing.

"Kasukabe, go and make sure you saw Abigail? Our eyesight isn't as good as yours, so take a closer look."

"Yes, it really is her."

Kasukabe Yō nodded, speaking with absolute certainty.

"Young Miss, Kasukabe, perhaps we are going to lose this time. I'm really not willing to accept it."

Kudo Asuka looked at Izayoi Sakamaki with some confusion:

"Could it be... no way?"

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, we'll find out when we get there. Big guy, quicken your pace."
