I'm in Star Iron, and I draw power from the Inner World every week.

"Oh."

Can you describe what happened at the scene?

“I replied to him, but he didn’t talk to me or attack me. Instead, he attacked the Dawn Machine directly. It’s very mysterious.”

"It is indeed mysterious, but you should have some knowledge of His [memories], right? Have you found the reason?"

"No, but [Conflict] has been fighting against the Black Tide. Perhaps it discovered through your [scheme] that the [Dawn Machine] was suspected of being corrupted by the Black Tide, which is why they wanted to take action?"

"Wow, isn't your brain perfectly normal?" Sai Fei'er was quite surprised.

“I’ve always been this way,” Su Yang said earnestly.

Seeing him speak so seriously, Sai Feier couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Pfft, you're not just trying to make me laugh, are you?"

"Ok?"

"...Alright, at least what you said makes sense, but my [trick] won't lose."

"Oh? So you have other reasons for preferring Him?"

"Yes, that's why I wanted to ask you, but it seems you didn't get any useful information either."

Indeed, no useful information was obtained.

But Sai Fei'er's words successfully connected the thoughts in Su Yang's mind.

If we lean towards Saifei's idea, it's based on the premise that the [trick] hasn't been exposed.

Why would [Conflict], now back to its 'full glory', want to target [Dawn Machines]?

One might boldly speculate that the origin of the Black Tide might be related to the [Dawn Machine]...

Or perhaps, the location of the [Dawn Machine] contains the [truth], and it is this [truth] that it wants to attack.

Su Yang's intuition told him that this might really be the answer.

But memories don't lie, and he didn't find any relevant explanation in Nicardoli's memories.

Therefore, seeing through the [trick] might be the real answer.

Just to be on the safe side, Su Yang kept both possibilities in mind.

...In any case, a certain omnic that excels at mutual assurance should still be the culprit.

"Hey, why did you suddenly go silent? This is making me very embarrassed."

"I'm thinking, and I feel like I'm close to finding the truth about this world."

"It seems you've become so confident that you've lost all sense of reason."

"Confidence is always better than inferiority." Su Yang smiled brightly.

"Tsk, that's not wrong."

"So, I like you."

"Hey buddy? We were just discussing demigods, worlds, and other grand things, how did you end up back here?"

"I promised my sister, and I promised Aglaia, that I would fight for good and that I would save the world."

"Kid, you can't just keep talking nonsense."

Sai Fei'er moved closer to Su Yang, lifted his chin with her slender index finger, and smiled playfully:

"Furthermore, you can't let your brain get ahead of you; your strength has to keep up."

"...Um?"

"Your mind is full of strange and unusual things, and it's normal for you to think of things that ordinary people can't. But I want to remind you that getting too involved in some things will only exacerbate conflicts, and if you don't have the strength to match the truth, you'll only face tragedy."

Sai Fei'er's expression was more serious than ever before.

"I will remember it."

Su Yang is still very willing to humbly accept the opinions of others.

"Hmph, that's one thing about you that's not annoying."

"Saifei, I like you."

"This is annoying."

"Does Sai Fei'er not like me?" Su Yang asked, slightly puzzled.

Logically speaking, the fact that Sai Fei'er is acting so awkwardly and stubbornly shows that he has entered Sai Fei'er's heart.

"I've denied it so many times already, haven't I? If you say it again, I'll take it as you being a pervert."

"Feel sorry."

"Alright, I forgive you this time. I'm going to go talk to the seamstress now."

"Will you stay after it's all over?" Su Yang asked the question that concerned him most.

Putting aside the question of whether they can actually date, he at least wants to see Sai Feier more often.

"...Could you please stop talking to me like a seamstress?"

"We are best friends, like siblings."

"as long as you are happy."

"So even if we're done and leaving, how about we exchange contact information first?"

"Sorry, I refuse."

So, will you stay?

"Tch, I'm not telling you, hehehe." Sai Fei'er made a face and disappeared in a flash.

"Good cat."

Su Yang inexplicably felt that Sai Feier was becoming more and more attractive the more he looked at her.

.....

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Saifeier went to Aglaia's room.

Aglaia sat gracefully in her chair, savoring her tea and pastries, every movement exuding elegance and romance.

"The seamstress".

"Sefaria, have you finished talking?"

"Tsk, I..."

All the words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat.

She was afraid that Aglaia might follow some clues and connect them to the truth of the matter.

She said less, fearing that her actions would hurt Aglaia again.

Perhaps it would have been better if she hadn't come, but she still came.

“If it’s something you’re embarrassed to say, then there’s no need to say more. It’s already the best that you’re here to chat with me.” Aglaia smiled gently.

"Well."

Sai Fei'er suddenly felt a lump in her throat and her eyes throbbed, as if her little pearls might fall out at any moment.

"Even so, there's still a slight awkwardness between us, and you're destined not to delve into it further, right?"

“…”

“I have a suggestion, Cephalia.”

"Stop telling me what to do, but you'd better tell me what your suggestion is."

"Why don't you actually try dating Su Yang?"

"What the hell?!"

Saifeier was so startled by Aglaia's words that she almost jumped up.

Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at Aglaia, as if she had seen a ghost.

Aglaia has become quite abstract lately...

But if they say that when it's just the two of them, then they must be serious.

Perhaps due to a subtle synergy with Seifer, Aglaia added:

"I was serious."

"...a reason? If you don't give me a proper reason, I will never see you again in my life." Sai Fei'er gritted her teeth and uttered such harsh words as never before.

She's starting to deceive herself a bit.

But only by getting to this point can Aglaia become a little more 'serious'.

“Only in that way can we start living together again with a completely new relationship, right?” Aglaia’s smile was tinged with bitterness.

If Sai Feier really starts dating Su Yang, then her feelings will actually be more complicated.

But as mentioned earlier, this also allows her to have a completely new relationship with Saifeier.

Of course, most importantly, she could keenly sense that Su Yang was serious about Sai Feier, the kind of guy who was irrevocably devoted.

Sai Fei'er's reaction to Su Yang is also quite intriguing.

In summary, having Sai Feier date Su Yang might be the best solution.

"Tsk, I guessed you would say that, but, seamstress..." Sai Fei'er's expression became even more serious.

"uh-huh?"

"In the end, 'love' is something that's probably not meant for us. Are you really going to stop on your journey to chase the fire?"

"of course not."

"So, you're obsessed with that silly boy just to enjoy a moment of pleasure?"

“Sefaria, we are already bound by a shared destiny, and we will weave our path together.”

"If we die, we'll die together?"

"That's romantic, isn't it?"

“Invincible, that guy too, and you too, we’re all invincible.” Sai Fei’er plopped down on the ground.

She lowered her head, seemingly contemplating life, or perhaps wondering how to bury her head in her crotch.

“Sefaria, there’s actually another important point that you may not have realized.”

"as long as you are happy."

"Su Yang's most charming quality is not just his pure and frank side, but his ability to bring beauty."

"The little girl in the courtyard can bring good things, so I'd say I can bring good things too."

“You and Feng Jin are both very gentle, but Su Yang’s ‘goodness’ is not just that. I can feel the potential within him.”

How did you feel it? By talking about it?

Saifeier really wanted to ask that question, but doing so would probably make her and Aglaia's situation even more awkward.

Actually, she believed that Aglaia must have noticed her outside the window, but this was just speculation and couldn't be confirmed.

"Tsk, even if you say that, I won't be coaxed into dating that silly boy by your few words."

“Sefaria, Su Yang is not some silly boy. He's just sometimes too cute, but that's part of his charm. You shouldn't say anything too harsh about him.”

"...Even so, I will not date him."

"Actually, you've already been attracted to him, haven't you, Sefalia? When it comes to Su Yang, it's better to be as frank as possible."

"If you say that again, I'll never talk to you again for the rest of my life!" Sai Fei'er couldn't take it anymore and chose to breathe on her.

"Is it alright if you still live in your old room? I've already tidied it up for you."

“…”

Sai Fei'er felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she were talking to Su Yang.
