In reality, Robin wasn't being humble. She was just a little nervous about visiting her idol.
Okay, it did look a bit humble. She was just worried that not being in her best state would leave a bad impression on Su Mo.
However, this kind of behavior was only human.
And in her nervousness, she naturally didn't notice that her brother was watching her knock on the door and successfully enter Su Mo's room through the eyes of a crow, his own eyes bloodshot.
"Lord Su Mo, and the members of the Express Crew, greetings!"
A voice as clear as a lark's rang out, countless times more pleasant than when she had spoken to Sunday and Topaz. Even Robin herself was slightly taken aback when she heard her own voice.
Huh? Has my voice recovered?
Without time to ponder why her previously somewhat hoarse throat had recovered so quickly, the newly entered Robin was greeted by the enthusiastic onlookers of March 7th and Stelle.
"Oh my god! It's actually Miss Robin! I never thought I'd get to see a star like you in person... this trip to Penacony was really worth it!"
March 7th, who had a slight understanding of the music world, exclaimed in amazement. Her eyes, looking at the angelically beautiful Robin, were also full of admiration.
Up close, she was even more beautiful than in the advertisements. Even if someone said she was the Aeon of Beauty incarnate, March 7th would believe it.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss March 7th. It would be too rude of me not to come and greet Lord Su Mo, who has personally graced Penacony with his presence," Robin, having shed her disguise, spoke with March 7th with grace and composure. And naturally, her gaze locked onto Su Mo.
"I hope my sudden visit will not disturb you, Lord Su Mo!"
"Not at all," Su Mo said, shaking his head calmly.
"So you're here for Lord Su Mo! That's normal... wait!" Hearing Robin's words, March 7th first nodded. Apart from Su Mo, no one was worthy of a personal visit from a star like Robin.
But soon, the young girl's intuition told her that something was wrong.
Looking at the angelic and gentle girl before her, at her sparkling eyes fixed on Su Mo, March 7th's wariness instantly shot up to the maximum. Oh no! This woman is here for Lord Su Mo!
Robin, on the other hand, did not notice March 7th's vigilance. It wasn't that her observation skills were weak, but that Little March was too harmless.
Even her vigilance or jealousy was as soft as cotton candy, without a hint of threat.
"Lord Su Mo, may I ask if you are satisfied with The Family's reception?" Robin suppressed her burning heart and asked considerately. "If you are not satisfied with this room, our family can make adjustments."
Hearing this, March 7th instantly forgot her previous vigilance.
While holding back the restless little gray-haired girl who seemed to want to touch Robin's wings, she asked curiously, "Isn't Lord Su Mo's room already the most top-tier guest room? It can still be adjusted?"
Could it be that Penacony has an even more luxurious hidden room? That's impossible! If there was, there's no reason not to arrange it for Su Mo!
"Among the guest rooms, this is indeed the top tier," Robin explained. "But, besides the guest rooms, our family also has rooms in our own residence."
"If Lord Su Mo doesn't mind, the mansion within the Oak Family can also be opened exclusively for you. Although it may not be as luxurious, it is more convenient for living."
"The main room in The Family's residence was personally arranged by me. I have enough confidence in this regard."
This was privilege. The mansion had plenty of rooms; otherwise, even if she didn't give up her brother's room, she would have had to give up her own. Of course, with Sunday's attitude, he would definitely not accept the latter.
Robin looked at Su Mo with anticipation, as if she really wanted to pull him into her own territory and let him experience her arrangements personally.
Unfortunately...
"No need. I don't have many requirements for my living environment. This is good enough," Su Mo shook his head, having no intention of changing places.
"Phew~"
That's great! March 7th instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
From Robin's words, it seemed she was only inviting Su Mo. If he had agreed, he would have really been snatched away, and she and Stelle would have become children left behind. Fortunately, Su Mo didn't do that.
But before she could be happy for two seconds, she saw Robin blink, her face full of admiration. "As expected of Lord Su Mo! That's right, how could a great person like you care about the mundane prosperity of the world? I was being presumptuous!"
Even though her suggestion was rejected, she seemed to have become even more fervent, as if Su Mo's choice contained the infinite truth of the universe.
After a straightforward apology, Robin continued with another invitation.
"Then, does Lord Su Mo need a guide? Although Penacony is called the city of entertainment by outsiders, for you, Lord Su Mo, this kind of entertainment is probably a bit shallow. If you are willing, I can be your guide and ensure you have a satisfying vacation in Penacony!"
Don't be fooled by her nervous girlish demeanor before entering the door. In reality, Robin had been through many war zones and had experienced multiple life-and-death crises.
The girlish nervousness that made even Sunday think she was being a bit humble was real, but so was her courage.
After truly standing in front of Su Mo, she quickly adapted and behaved very naturally and proactively. This tight offensive was not something March 7th could compare to. The little pink-haired girl was a little dumbfounded on the side.
Can you just issue a date invitation so directly? Is this the boldness of a big star?
March 7th immediately looked at Su Mo nervously. She hadn't even had a chance to invite him, and an outsider had already beaten her to it!
"Oh?" Hearing Robin's proactive and generous invitation, Su Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised. "If I remember correctly, you are the lead singer of the Charmony Festival. Instead of rehearsing at this time, you're offering to be a guide. Is your Oak Family that hospitable?"
Hearing this, Robin said very frankly, "This is not the decision of the Oak Family, but my own personal decision."
"Although the Charmony Festival is important, if it's for Lord Su Mo, with your contributions to this universe and your promotion of the Path of Harmony, as a singer of Harmony, allowing you to enjoy your vacation happily is the greatest thank-you I can think of."
Her tone was very sincere, but her words made even Himeko a little confused. "Lord Su Mo... promoting the Path of Harmony?"
She knew about Su Mo's contributions to the universe, but what did that have to do with the Path of Harmony?
"Miss Himeko may not be very clear about our family's philosophy."
"Under the leadership of Xipe, the Aeon of Harmony, in order to fight against the ruthless disasters of the world, the philosophy we advocate is to help the weak with the strong and protect life with death."
"And with Lord Su Mo's contributions to the universe—eliminating the remnants of the Swarm Disaster on a large scale, curing the mara-struck, and transforming the Denizens of Abundance—all of these are examples of helping the weak with the strong, all of which have promoted the harmony of the universe."
She recited Su Mo's achievements as if they were family treasures.
Hearing Robin say this, March 7th asked, a little dumbfounded, "Is it possible that Lord Su Mo did this simply to create an Aeon, and actually had no other thoughts?" At least she believed that with Su Mo's strength, he probably didn't need to care about the mere Path of Harmony.
Hearing March 7th's words, Robin still shook her head, her eyes looking at Su Mo with unconcealed admiration. "Even if Lord Su Mo himself did not have this intention, his actions still align with the Path of Harmony. Or rather, if he didn't have this intention, it would only further prove his noble character."
To do evil while knowing good is the lowest form.
To do good while knowing good is the middle form.
To do good without knowing good is the highest form of good!
The reason Robin had so much goodwill towards Su Mo was that his actions contained what she admired most.
In her view, Su Mo's actions were even more in line with the Path of Harmony than the Penacony operated by The Family.
If Su Mo did it intentionally, it meant his realm was high. If he did it unintentionally, it meant his realm was even higher!
"So this is a die-hard fan..." Hearing Robin's logically closed-loop statement, even March 7th was left speechless. It had to be said that in terms of blind admiration, she had lost.
"Whether my character is noble or not is another matter. You mean to say, you want to be a guide simply to repay me for the changes I've made to the universe?" Su Mo grasped the core of the matter and asked for confirmation.
"Yes!" Robin nodded. Her thoughts were indeed that simple. It wasn't about chasing a star, but about feeling that someone who had made such contributions deserved better treatment. No matter what others thought, at least she was willing to give her all.
"Then I'll leave the task of being a guide to you," Su Mo stopped asking and gave a direct answer.
Hearing this, Robin's eyes lit up, and the wings on her ears trembled with excitement. "That's great! Lord Su Mo, I will definitely not disappoint you!"
Even though she was the one providing the service, she looked happier than Su Mo, who was receiving it.
"Grrr~"
Behind Su Mo, March 7th bit on a piece of cloth resentfully. Damn it! I was here first! I was the one who invited Lord Su Mo to this world first!
Himeko looked speechlessly at her skirt, which was covered in March 7th's saliva. After a moment's thought, she decided not to say anything.
It was good for this silly child to have a sense of crisis. She could just wash it more when she got back.
On the other hand, looking at Robin's joyful appearance, Su Mo smiled slightly. "As for the reward for being a guide..."
Before he could finish, Robin immediately shook her head. "It is my personal wish to provide convenience for Lord Su Mo. How could I ask for a reward from you?" If it weren't for the fact that it seemed unrealistic, she would even be willing to pay Su Mo.
"Oh? Even if this reward involves the safety of the entire Penacony, you still think so?" Su Mo added leisurely.
"The safety of Penacony?" Robin was slightly taken aback and stood there, stunned.
What's going on? This sounds like Penacony is about to have a problem.
Wait!
Come to think of it, with Lord Su Mo's style, did he really come to Penacony for a vacation? What if, just like before, he came to promote peace in the universe, to resolve a crisis?
If it were anyone else, Robin wouldn't believe their words. But if it was Su Mo, a single sentence was enough.
"Lord Su Mo, did you come to save Penacony?" Robin looked up at Su Mo, her eyes full of anticipation and admiration.
"To be precise, even if I don't intervene, Penacony will most likely be safe this time, with a few scares," Su Mo shook his head, his gaze towards Robin incredibly deep.
It was as if he was seeing through this saintess of Harmony to the deeper Path of Harmony behind her, and even to Xipe, the Aeon of Harmony, the master of the Path.
"But for you personally, there might be a better ending."
Looking at the lark-like girl before him, Su Mo said, "Coincidentally, I'm also quite interested in the authority of Harmony to attune all things. Perhaps you can bring me some inspiration."
