Proofreader:? Arya
Aboul resort hotel complex.
The royal green room
Spirit of the Holy Tree, Lady Tethys was deep in thought.
Just now, in the observatory, I found out that shocking truth.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time and I could only talk to Laura for a few dozen seconds.
Laura managed to tell me everything from start to end so I understand the whole situation, however…
Laura didn’t manage to tell me where that world was hidden.
Tethys scowled.
A mogul as herself very quickly caught onto the key of the matter.
I must definitely not allow Triste to find her world first!
Otherwise, once Triste unseals it, [Worlds Apocalypse Online] will spread all over Aboul!
But then, where exactly did Laura hide it?
What a headache.
Without another anchor to use as a catalyst, she couldn’t return to that world or ask Laura anything.
It’s not enough, I have to find that world before her!
Tethys glanced at the big rooster.
He was still extremely dispirited, chugging down his bottle of liquor bit by bit.
Never mind, he has too much of a big mouth, and his thoughts are written all over his face, if Triste happens to notice something, it won’t be good.
I’ll have to do this myself.
Tethys stood up and paced around the green room.
Firstly.
Laura is currently with Gu Qing Shan.
And I brought Gu Qing Shan here because of his girlfriend’s matter.
In all this, from the start, Gu Qing Shan was someone who came here to ask for a favor.
Since he came with clear motives, he wouldn’t have ran around all over aimlessly.
Then…
Gu Qing Shan should have stayed in the royal green room.
Wait a minute.
Gu Qing Shan was supposed to have stayed here, but now he’s with Laura in the other world.
Lady Tethys stopped and silently assessed the green room.
She muttered a chant: “Creations of the god, spirits of all things”
An invisible wave came from her and swept all over the green room.
Silence.
1 second.
2 seconds.
3 seconds.
“Now, can someone tell me if these two people were here?”
Lady Tethys opened her palm.
A bright green flow condensed into Gu Qing Shan and Laura’s images, standing still on her hand.
「 Hm, I met them? 」
A dull voice came.
The bottle of liquor in the big rooster’s hand just spoke up.
The big rooster was shocked and threw the bottle on the table.
The bottle swayed a bit back and forth before it could stand upright on the table.
The bottle breathed heavily as it responded: 「 I’ve seen that young man. I really must say, he’s quite the liquor connoisseur, his gaze only fell on me and the other decent bottles of liquor as he made his choice? 」
「 Indeed he was? 」
「 Very much correct? 」
「 I agree? 」
The other bottles in the ice box also stood up and spoke.
“Then what about this little girl? Which one of you have seen her?” lady Tethys asked.
The bottle responded: 「 I can’t really be sure, because she would always appear briefly before she disappeared again, I really had to doubt my eyes? 」
“So none of you saw her?” lady Tethys asked.
「 Not quite, she had actually always been here, sitting on me? 」an armchair sofa cut in and said.
Tethys looked back at the sofa.
There were only large and comfortable sofas in this green room, the armchair that talked was the only one of its kind, placed in a secluded corner of the room, you could say it was the most awkward position in the entire place.
Which means, Laura had been in this room from the very start?
Lady Tethys asked: “When did she leave? Did she leave together with the boy?”
「 I only know that she was in this room, as for whether or not she left, you have to ask the door? 」the armchair replied.
The green room’s door quickly responded as well: 「 No, they definitely did not leave the room, if they had, I would’ve definitely noticed? 」
Lady Tethys smiled: “Very well, then we’re one step closer to the answer, can someone tell me where they went?”
The voices in the room disappeared.
Even after waiting, no one replied to her question.
She couldn’t help but sigh.
These items were mundane and didn’t contain a single bit of life force, and definitely no spirit to speak of, so even if I used a spell, they could only answer very simple questions.
Do I really lose the trail here?
While lady Tethys was thinking, a faint cry could be heard.
She suddenly turned around to see the large 12-layer cake.
“How is it? Are you sad about something?”
Tethys gently asked.
Originally, this cake couldn’t have possibly gotten any chance to become sentient, being able to cry like this was already the limit of her spell.
「 I-I’m annoyed, I’m sad? 」the cake answered.
“Why are you sad?”
「 Because those two appeared to be interested in me, I’ve even prepared my most wonderful buttery smell, but in the end they didn’t even bother to savor my taste? 」
“Where are they now?”
「 They hid—? 」
While she was listening, Tethys’ expression changed.
Triste was almost here!
Tethys waved her hand to dispel this technique, quickly chanting: “Spirits of all things, return this world to silence”
This was a defensive-type concealment technique, capable of hiding all presence and energy residue.
Even Tethys herself couldn’t get through this technique to find a hidden item.
Since Triste was about to arrive, this was a non-solution solution.
In a split second, Triste appeared in the room.
She appeared incredibly joyful, muttering in a low voice: “So you were hiding here…”
Going to the table, she tried checking everything, the bottles, the fruits, the vases.
Not here?
How strange, I clearly sensed the activation of [Call of the Bramble Bird: Guard summoning] just now from my world, the location was this exact place.
Why did the technique’s energy residue suddenly disappear?
Triste fell silent briefly.
She tried double-checking everything on the table again, to no avail.
Tethys stood still without changing her expression, only her eyes closely following Triste while she quickly thought about what she just heard.
Just where did they hide?
Why did the newly-born cake spirit cry?
How unfortunate, just a bit more and I would’ve found out.
After that, under the close observation of Tethys, Triste searched like mad through every object in the room.
But she still couldn’t find her world.
No, it must be here!
If a Bramble Bird had used their spell in my world, the concealment technique used on the world must’ve been dispelled as well.
Then why could I only sense the world’s presence for only a split second before it disappeared again?
Triste abruptly looked up at the Spirit of the Holy Tree, lady Tethys.
Could it be her…
“What are you looking for?” lady Tethys asked first.
Triste replied: “Perhaps you know what I’m looking for”
Tethys smiled: “Of course I know you’re looking for Laura, you even had me help”
“I could sense her right here just now”
“You felt wrong, we were here the entire time and didn’t notice anything”
“Is that so? This room is giving me a really strange feeling, would you happen to sense it as well?”
“My apologies, but I couldn’t sense anything”
The two of them stared straight at each other, then broke their gazes at the same time to look around.
Laura and Gu Qing Shan never left this green room, Tethys thought.
I clearly sensed the energy signature of a Bramble Bird spell in my world coming from this room,?Triste thought.
Their gazes locked once again.
“Esteemed lady Tethys, would you like to move elsewhere to rest?”
“It’s not necessary, I can rest in here just fine. Rather than that, don’t you have a lot of work that you need to attend to right now?”
“I also want to take a short rest here to forget those troublesome matters for now”
They both smiled at each other and had the same exact thought.
Where is that world being hidden?
