"Our objective? Because my ability senses that meeting this half-elf young lady will allow us to reach the future we desire," Holy Son said with a smile, naturally exuding a "leader's" aura that made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze and instinctively trusted her.
After all, she had served as the supreme leader of two world nations, so possessing a leader's aura was only natural.
"But please rest assured, we bear no ill will towards the half-elf young lady. On the contrary, we will help you as much as possible before we reach the future we desire."
"That's right, if there's anything you need help with, just tell us," Tendo Kisara said, with one hand on her hip, "We possess very strong power, you know."
She had also recently gained divinity, but she had not yet developed her own unique 'rule-based ability'.
"Divinity: Slayer."
Her divinity was similar to Poison Island Ayako's, but with a different focus.
"My business acumen is very strong. In the past, I even controlled the economic lifelines of an entire world, you know," Sima Wei Zhi said, a folding fan appearing in her hand, opening to cover below her nose, her eyes narrowed like a small fox.
"Do you want to become a great merchant who controls the economic lifelines of a nation and can overturn countless people's fates with a flick of her hand?
I can help you~"
"Uh, that, I, how do I say it, I, I—" Emilia didn't know what to say, her mind was a bit frozen. She had so much she wanted to say, but no matter what, her tongue would get tied when it came to her lips.
"Pfft~" Puck burst out laughing. His good daughter was so happy that she didn't know how to express herself because it was her first time meeting someone who showed her kindness and was so 'aggressive'.
It was quite worrying, really. The person his good daughter had talked to the most was actually just Rozval and the maids in his mansion.
"What's so funny, Puck?" Emilia's cheeks puffed up again, even turning red. She felt like crawling into a crack in the ground for the first time.
"No, nothing, my Lia is just too cute, I couldn't help it," Puck covered his belly with his cat paw, then flew in front of them.
"My daughter's ability to express herself is a bit slow, but you all seem very kind, so I'll agree on behalf of my daughter."
As a Great Spirit, human emotions could not be hidden from it. From beginning to end, these three girls had not said a single false word.
Lia was also at the age where she needed to grow up and have human friends.
To have normal friendships with trusted friends.
Although it was a spirit, it also knew that humans could not survive alone. Lia was too dependent on it, and her heart was too fragile.
He truly hoped his daughter could become truly strong, surrounded by trustworthy friends.
These three girls could try to become friends with Lia.
With the power they possessed, even if it left Lia, she would not be alone and would be able to bravely move forward hand in hand with her friends.
"Puck, how could you make decisions on your own?" Emilia panicked.
"It's okay, Lia, aren't you looking for your insignia? More people can find it faster," Puck whispered.
However, its whisper was no different from a loud conspiracy.
"You're looking for the item stolen by that thief, right? Let me help you," Holy Son said with full affinity.
"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet."
"My name is Holy Son. I'm from another world and just arrived here today."
"My name is Sima Wei Zhi, and I'm from the same place as Holy Son."
"Tendo Kisara, same as above."
"My name is Emilia." Emilia shyly introduced herself, then paused and blinked:
"Another world?"
During her time living in Rozval's mansion, she had already caught up on a lot of knowledge and knew about the other world on the other side of the Great Waterfall.
"Are you from the other side of the Great Waterfall?"
"Oh~" Puck laughed. If they were top powerhouses of this world, as one of the Four Great Spirits, it would have some sense of them, more or less.
They also didn't hide that they were from the other side of the Great Waterfall.
How interesting.
However, it didn't have any thoughts about where they came from. As long as they posed no danger to Lia and could potentially help its daughter, it didn't care about their identities.
"Great Waterfall? Is that what you call visitors from the Otherworld here? If so, then yes, that's correct," Sima Wei Zhi said.
"Without further ado, let's help Miss Emilia find her lost item first," Holy Son said.
"You can just call me Emilia."
"Okay, Emilia, we're friends now," Sima Wei Zhi said, familiarly linking her arm with Emilia's, looking like good sisters.
"Good, good friend..." Emilia was instantly struck in her vulnerable heart.
"That's right, good sister. Emilia, are you unwilling?"
"No, no, I, can I really?" Emilia, somewhat insecure, confirmed again.
"Of course! You can just call me Wei Zhi."
"Okay, okay, Wei, Wei Zhi—" Emilia didn't know why, but she felt her body become warm, and a sense of happiness she had never experienced before welled up in her heart.
This feeling of happiness was completely different from being with Puck.
At the same time, she was overthinking again. Could she really? Would they eventually abandon her because of her half-elf identity and appearance, leading to them being discriminated against by people?
"I'll see where Emilia's lost item is," Holy Son lightly clapped her hands.
A pure white radiance appeared around her, and a hint of guidance from fate emerged.
"This is—Authority?" Puck's eyes instantly widened.
Before it defeated the previous Great Spirit of Fire and took its place, it was an artificial spirit created by its mother, the "Witch of Greed" Echidna.
As an artificial spirit indirectly created by "Authority," it was all too familiar with the fluctuations of "Authority."
'So that's it—Even though I tried my best to overestimate them, I still underestimated them,' Puck thought to itself.
They actually possessed an 'Authority,' but it seemed they hadn't fully unleashed its power yet.
Otherwise, a complete Authority wouldn't just threaten it; it could directly suppress and kill it.
"So, these three are actually Witches who haven't awakened yet, aren't they?" Puck gazed deeply at the three of them.
It couldn't forget a single word they had said.
"The other side of the Great Waterfall," "Trial," "Authority," and seeking out Emilia, who resembled the Jealous Witch—all of this was so similar to what happened four hundred years ago.
Is fate truly a 'cycle'?
