As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

Abigail went into the house, found a place to sit down, and then asked the White Demon.

"Are you Abigail?"

The blonde, green-eyed girl looked at Abigail with some curiosity.

"who are you?"

"Haha, I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong. You should have heard of my name, right? Of course, now I am the Victorious Fighting Buddha."

"So you're Sun Wukong! Seeing is believing. I never expected you to look like this. I thought you were a monkey covered in hair."

"Haha, I like your personality. You are indeed someone who dares to challenge the gods. To be honest, you are much better than I was back then. You have so many people willing to help you. Although I had many companions back then, not a single god was willing to speak up for me."

Sun Wukong seemed to be thinking about his past.

"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. You've got quite a presence, haven't you? You've caused quite a stir up the higher-ups. I don't know what kind of magic potion you've given these people. Just today, the Olympian gods actually publicly declared that they would protect you to the death. This has shocked all the gods."

"White Demon knows, you can ask her."

"Do you know who the White Demon is?"

“I know, but I won’t tell you. Alright, let’s get down to business now. Abigail, thanks to the declaration made by the Olympian gods and the efforts of us and Indra, the gods have compromised and are willing to convene a council of gods.”

"You just compromised like that? How did you even manage to do that?"

Abigail was curious; this seemed a little too easy.

"Don't worry about the specifics of how it was done. Just know that in three days, the Conference of the Gods will be held at the Thousand Eyes Headquarters in the 3345th Outer Gate. The leader of the Thousand Eyes, who is the organizer, will also be present."

"You mean the two goddesses of beginning and end? I'm getting quite a bit of a fuss!"

"Remember, come back here in three days, and we'll take you to the headquarters of Thousand Eyes."

"Okay, I see."

............

"Hey, Abigail, you're back."

"Abby, please don't mind if I disturb you."

When Abigail returned home, Izayoi Sakamaki and Black Rabbit were sitting on the sofa.

"Why are you here?"

"You forgot that we had a bet. Since you lost, there's nothing you can do about it."

"Abby, we're getting ready to leave tomorrow morning. We're here tonight to let you know. We're also planning a party tonight and hope you can come."

"I love the party! Let's go! Leticia, go and invite Flame, Pest, and Futes too."

That evening, Wuming held a small banquet.

Besides signifying a farewell, it also celebrated their gains. Although Izayoi and the others hadn't achieved their initial goal, they had still learned a great deal from Futus—many things that only exist in fantasy.

There were many dishes on the table that are not usually prepared, and the older children also joined in the toasting.

The river fish, prepared by Black Rabbit himself, was first lightly grilled before being deep-fried, and then served with a special broth made from the dragon's blood. He seemed to think it was a rather excellent masterpiece. Needless to say, not only the locals but even the children praised it highly. However, it was all because of a remark made by Izayoi Sakamaki:

"Black Rabbit, I think you shouldn't make the broth, but marinate it with vinegar instead, it should taste better."

That one sentence ruined a lot of the mood.

Of course, this had no effect on Abigail, who was having a great time at the party; the carefree girl loved such lively scenes.

To be honest, Xiaoyan originally didn't plan to attend such a banquet, as it meant nothing to him. However, Abigail forcibly dragged him there.

Looking at Xiaoyan surrounded by a group of children, she wasn't as resistant as I had imagined.

And so, the night passed. Abigail and the others stayed there for one night. Although nothing major happened, something did happen, and it seemed to be about Izayoi Sakamaki.

The following morning, until the moment before departure, Izayoi Sakamaki still did not appear in front of the base.

Kudo Asuka, who had been participating since day one, held a parasol in one hand and placed her travel luggage beside her. Her bright red dress was still dazzling today, making her noble posture even more elegant.

Kudo Asuka adjusted the position of her parasol, then touched her cheek with some concern and said:

"Has Izayoi still not found the earphones? Haven't you been looking for them all night?"

"YES, and let all the children go together to look for it... Waaah, if we don't set off soon, it will be too late."

Wearing her usual mini-skirt and stockings, Kuro Usagi waited anxiously for Izayoi Sakamaki, as did Jin beside her.

"...Ah, here it comes!"

Jin shouted. However, Izayoi Sakamaki wasn't wearing headphones; instead, she had a headband to hold her hair down.

Black Rabbit opened her eyes wide and asked Izayoi:

"Then... what happened?"

As for Abigail, she could only laugh so hard that she had to lean on Leticia for support.

"Because my hair sticks up in all directions if I don't put something on my head, but the important thing is that I have something to say."

Sakamaki Izayoi stepped aside, allowing Kasukabe Yō, who was pulling a suitcase, to walk forward from behind with the calico cat.

Kasukabe Yo stopped beside Izayoi, looked up at his face, and tilted his head slightly.

"...Is this really okay?"

"There's no way around it. My hair just won't behave without it, making it impossible for me to go anywhere. Even though it's a broken piece of junk, it would still be a real problem if I lost it."

Izayoi Sakamaki tossed her hair back and laughed freely. The other nameless members, understanding the situation, looked at each other. In other words, Izayoi Sakamaki decided to stay at the base in order to find the earpiece.

Kasukabe Yō, still expressionless, blinked, then looked up at Sakamaki Izayoi—soon afterward, she suddenly gave a gentle smile, like a small flower blooming, to express her gratitude to Sakamaki Izayoi.

"Thank you, I will do my best for you."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. And remember to make at least a hundred friends, since I've heard there are a lot of mythical beasts in the South District. I'm actually more looking forward to that."

"Hehe, I got it."

Kasukabe Yo waved energetically at Izayoi, then ran towards Asuka and the others with Sanmao Neko.

And so, Kasukabe Yo, Kudo Asuka, Black Rabbit, Jin Russell, and the three-haired cat.

A total of four people and one animal left the base.

Leticia, who remained behind, waved slightly, watching everyone leave. After their figures had completely disappeared, she looked at Izayoi with a somewhat nervous expression.

"Izayoi... um, is this really okay? You went through so much trouble to earn priority by obtaining the outer sect rights certificate, and now you're just giving up like this... If you need the headphones, we can help you find them..."

"It can't be found. Since we've searched this far and still haven't found it, it means that the thing is hidden somewhere only the perpetrator knows. By the way, Abigail, aren't you going too?"

"Oh, didn't you know? I had something to do and couldn't go. It's a bit of a shame. But, you looking like this... hahaha..."

Izayoi shrugged and gave a wry smile.

"I only take off my headphones when I go to take a shower. Of course, headphones can't just grow legs and run away, right? Or what should I say? Did that thing become a tsukumogami? If that's the case, then I guess I've gotten a bonus."

"Are you thinking about some explicit scenarios? But do you have a target right now?"

"I don't know. Based on the evidence, the most suspicious one is Kasukabe... but that girl isn't the type to do something like that. That's why I let her go first. It's alright, just leave it there! She'll probably come out and confess soon. Besides, those were just headphones made by an amateur, they have absolutely no monetary value."

"You're quite open-minded. I wish you find your headphones soon."

Chapter 318 The Council of the Gods

Three days passed quickly.

Abigail and Homura were walking on their way to the Thousand Eyes branch.

"Xiao Yan, what kind of demands do you think those gods would make of us?"

"I don't know, I don't know anything about them."

"That's true. Anyway, if those guys dare to make any unreasonable demands, I'll show them what the call of Cthulhu is all about!"

"..."

Xiao Yan didn't say anything. To be honest, she didn't have any good feelings towards those monsters.

"By the way, Homura, the preparations for summoning Madoka are almost complete. Let's start when we get back."

"really?"

When Xiaoyan heard Abigail say that, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly. Compared to everything else, this news was undoubtedly what she had been looking forward to the most.

"Of course, you can rest assured that I can handle things. When Xiaoyuan arrives, I will definitely show her this wonderful world."

Abigail patted her chest and said;

"But then again, it feels more like 'After this battle, I'll go home and get married.'"

"..."

Xiaoyan had realized that when Abigail occasionally uttered words that she could clearly understand but couldn't comprehend, it was best to remain silent.

"I guess I'm overthinking it. How could things be such a coincidence, Xiaoyan?"

"Ah."

Xiao Yan answered casually:

"Let's hurry up and go, don't keep White Yaksha waiting."

Perhaps not wanting to hear Abigail's incomprehensible words any longer, Xiaoyan quickened her pace.

"Oh."

Seeing that Xiaoyan had quickened her pace, Abigail also sped up her own.

Arrived at the Thousand Eyes branch.

"Abigail, why are you only arriving now? Do you know how long we've been waiting?"

At this moment, seeing Abigail being led into the room by the shop assistant, White Demon said with great displeasure.

"I'm sorry, I just got lost on the road of life."

"Ha, what are you talking about? You went to participate in the Gifted Challenge?"

White Yaksha asked, puzzled.

"White Demon, don't listen to her ravings. Just pretend you didn't hear her at a time like this."
