Chapter: Chapter 305
Regarding Leticia’s words, Akari didn’t want to comment. Didn’t she understand her Majesty? Her mouth was harder than anyone’s, but her heart was softer than anyone’s when facing trouble (only in matters related to Miss Shiro).
When it came to other things, she was truly ruthless.
However, Leticia was just complaining. After saying that, she diligently continued to track the movement of the Seven-Colored Sky Curtain.
But this curtain seemed to have no fixed target, often making unexpected turns in unimaginable places and heading in other directions. Leticia drew the curtain’s trajectory on the map, but found nothing unusual.
It was just moving randomly.
“Is this thing toying with us? It definitely is!” Looking at the colorful sky curtain still moving forward, Leticia muttered to herself in a near-state of collapse. There was no pattern to follow, what should she do?
“Your Majesty, isn’t the direction that thing is heading towards Miss Bai Ya’s school?” Although Akari couldn’t see the colorful sky curtain above, she could still determine from the map in Leticia’s hands that the school where Xiao Ya studied was on the path the curtain was advancing.
Hearing this, Leticia looked closely and found that what Akari said was indeed correct. The school where Xiao Ya studied was indeed on the current path of the curtain.
Coincidence?
The curtain’s previous bizarre route made it difficult for Leticia to make a judgment. Maybe this thing would just head that way for a while and then turn back?
“Should we remind Miss Shiro?” Akari asked.
Leticia shook her head, saying it wasn’t necessary yet. Moreover, this colorful sky curtain would not cause any harm to people it passed. It was like an illusion, unable to affect reality in any way.
Oh, that’s a good way to put it. It was originally a projection from a dream world after all. Normally, dreams shouldn’t affect reality.
“Let’s follow for a while longer. If its target is indeed Xiao Ya and the others, it won’t be too late to remind them.”
…
Sitting in the seat arranged by Xiao Ya, Bai Ling looked expectantly at the performance about to begin on stage. The cultural performance had already progressed quite a bit, and next was Xiao Ya’s class performance. Bai Ling was sitting here specifically to watch her sister’s performance.
Crude decorative backgrounds had already been set up on the stage. After all, they were made by the students themselves, and they were definitely incomparable to professional stage sets, but at least they were presentable right?
As the lights slowly dimmed, a beam of white light descended from the sky, illuminating a girl in yellow clothes at the edge of the stage. The girl was wearing a very dashing outfit, with a beautiful-looking long sword hanging at her waist, and a golden crown on her head.
A standard prince’s attire, wasn’t it?
“Xiao Ya…” Kira, who was secretly watching from not far away, softly called out the girl’s name. Although she had already seen Xiao Ya’s appearance, Xiao Ya, standing on stage surrounded by light, still had a heart-stirring aura.
This girl was usually silly, but she was quite handsome on stage.
On stage, Xiao Ya had already begun her performance. She briefly introduced herself and explained the reason for her travels.
Then, the other protagonist of the story appeared.
Another white light appeared, and the princess, played by Zi Meng, appeared on stage and began to wail to Xiao Ya.
The simple summary of the dialogue was: Our country has been cursed by a witch. To defeat that witch, we can only count on you, the prince, you poor sucker! If you can defeat that witch, I am willing to marry you.
A very traditional story opening. Of course, the prince would not refuse such a request to uphold justice. She asked for the witch’s location and then embarked on her journey with her sword.
On the adventure, the prince met brave and loyal companions. They worked together and foiled the witch’s schemes one after another, but the witch was not without gains. Every victory of the prince was accompanied by the eternal departure of a companion.
Although the beginning was like a fairy tale, the process was quite heartbreaking.
After losing the last companion by her side, the prince became lost and wanted to retreat. She felt that she might not be able to defeat the witch.
It was at this moment that the princess reappeared and began to counsel her. It was only then that the prince developed true feelings for the princess.
…
“The speed has increased, and it’s heading straight for Xiao Ya’s school?!” Seeing the colorful sky curtain suddenly accelerate, Leticia immediately realized something was wrong. “She’s not going to pretend anymore, Zi Meng must be that deity!”
Everything before was just to mislead her. Now, she wasn’t pretending anymore and had completely revealed her hand.
“Chase after it!” Leticia immediately shouted to Akari.
At the same time, she took out her phone, wanting to have her sister act immediately, at least to weaken the deity’s combat power before her plan could be realized!
However, the call wouldn’t go through.
Leticia quickly tried calling Bai Ling, but it still wouldn’t go through.
She glanced at the map again, briefly comparing the affected area of the colorful sky curtain on the map. Leticia was a little confused as to whether there was a problem on her end or on Bai Ling’s end. This curtain shouldn’t be affecting the school yet.
This was too strange.
“Your Majesty, I think I can vaguely see that thing!” Akari shouted to Leticia. In her vision, the sky seemed to be dyed with a very faint seven-colored hue. Although it was very faint, Akari could be sure it wasn’t an illusion.
“This thing is getting closer and closer to the real world. When it reaches the school, it will probably be the moment it completely merges with the real world.” Leticia immediately understood the situation. Since the phone couldn’t be used, she would use a more traditional method – a demon’s method.
Clasping her hands together, a solid dark red spear materialized in Leticia’s grasp. Then, she threw the spear towards Xiao Ya’s school.
This spear would not cause any harm, but it was imbued with a very special signal. It was Leticia’s exclusive danger signal. As long as Kira could sense the information on this spear, with her sister’s intelligence, she would definitely know what to do.
Leticia believed in her precocious sister.
“Let’s follow and see what that guy is up to.” After doing all this, Leticia immediately turned back and beckoned to Akari, who was falling behind.
“Your Majesty, please wait for me. I can’t fly that fast!” Akari reminded her with tears in her eyes.
As a bodyguard, not being able to keep up with the person she was protecting was quite embarrassing. At least, Akari felt quite embarrassed at the moment.
Fortunately, Leticia didn’t pay much attention to this matter. It was normal for Akari not to keep up with her speed. After all, apart from Miss Bai, the only ones who could keep up with her speed were those mythical figures.
The most important thing now was to catch up to that colorful sky curtain.
As if sensing something chasing it from behind, the colorful sky curtain accelerated its movement, and for a time, even Leticia had a little trouble keeping up.
As they moved forward rapidly, the curtain also began to grow. It became bigger and bigger, doubling in size within just a few minutes.
And in Akari’s vision, the curtain also became increasingly obvious, with even passersby on the road noticing the strange colors in the sky.
People stopped one after another, wanting to understand what was happening in the sky. But at this moment, no one could really understand what was happening.
…
“The performance was quite good. The script written by Zi Meng is actually quite interesting.” Watching the show gradually nearing its end, Kira stretched. After watching this performance, she would have to go back to find her sister.
Zi Meng’s performance showed no abnormalities, so Kira temporarily decided not to get rid of her.
But the next moment, she changed her mind.
She sensed the magic from her sister, and that magic contained a warning. Only in urgent situations would her sister send messages in this manner.
Kira immediately took out her phone and looked at the full signal on the screen, feeling very confused. Why didn’t she call?
And soon, she understood why Leticia didn’t call.
Because the call wouldn’t go through at all.
The phone clearly displayed a full signal, but upon closer inspection, Kira discovered that something was wrong. Not only could she not make calls, but she couldn’t even connect to the internet.
This meant that there was a problem on her end, not that her sister was in danger.
So, who was the most suspicious person here? What did her sister want her to do by releasing the magic warning?
Kira licked her lips. Wasn’t this obvious?
Her sister was telling her to strike first.
The sisters’ thoughts coincided across space at this moment. Kira immediately began to act. She had to quickly take down Zi Meng on stage.
Although she wasn’t very confident that she could defeat this target now, she had to try. Maybe she could succeed in weakening the opponent’s combat power?
Without alerting anyone, Kira quickly jumped onto the ceiling of the performance venue. She crouched on a beam and began to charge her power, aiming at Zi Meng on stage.
The magic fluctuations caught Bai Ling’s attention. Although Kira had used sufficiently concealed magic, it was still difficult to hide from Bai Ling at such a short distance.
At this distance, even Leticia would find it difficult to cause trouble under Bai Ling’s nose.
Bai Ling looked up and quickly located Kira, who was hidden in the shadows above with a serious expression. This made her, who had been considering whether or not to intervene, immediately give up the idea. If nothing unexpected had happened, Kira would never do such a thing.
This was equivalent to directly disrupting Xiao Ya’s meticulously prepared performance. Kira would not do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t Kira wait until after the performance to act?
Taking out her phone, Bai Ling quickly discovered the signal problem on her end. No wonder she hadn’t received any reminders from Leticia. It turned out that Leticia hadn’t sent it, but her communication had been blocked.
Sigh, since that’s the case, let me see what the deity’s plan is. Bai Ling showed no unusual behavior. She had long been prepared to face a deity, and Leticia had also told her in the morning that something big might happen today, which meant Bai Ling was well-prepared.
It’s just a deity. With Leticia’s help, even a deity can be defeated!
Bai Ling’s gaze was fixed on Zi Meng on stage. Now, it depended on how effective Kira’s attack would be.
Being locked onto by the gazes of Kira and Bai Ling, the girl in the colorful long skirt on stage smiled happily. Finally, they realized something was wrong and were going to act. Unfortunately, they realized it too late.
The playing house was over. Now, the real show was just about to begin!
A white light suddenly flashed overhead. The deity lightly raised a hand and easily caught a white arrow shot from above the stage. Then, she crushed the light arrow in her hand and began to chant softly.
When the white light arrow appeared, Xiao Ya was stunned. This was a development completely beyond her expectations. Zi Meng’s reaction was even more surprising. Her calm demeanor made it seem as if Zi Meng had long anticipated being attacked.
What happened next was even more bewildering. After crushing the light arrow, Zi Meng stood still, held her hands together in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and began to chant rapidly in a low voice. As short, ancient syllables gushed from Zi Meng’s mouth, Xiao Ya felt her body gradually float.
But she was clearly standing on the ground, how could she float?
*Crack*… *Rumble*… A loud noise came. Xiao Ya looked up in horror. The ceiling above her had actually shattered. And contrary to common sense, the shattered pieces did not fall but flew directly into the air.
The sky had completely changed color. The eerie seven-colored sky curtain made Xiao Ya feel a wave of discomfort from the bottom of her heart. She looked at Zi Meng beside her and suddenly understood why Kira had reminded her earlier.
So, Kira had seen through it long ago. Only she, the little fool, had been deceived all along.
“What are you still standing here for? Hurry and go!” As if it were an illusion, Xiao Ya heard Kira’s voice in her ear.
Kira had already returned to the demon realm, so she must be hallucinating.
But the next moment, she found out it wasn’t a hallucination, because she was directly grabbed by the wrist by a girl falling from the sky.
“Kira?!” Xiao Ya had many things she wanted to ask, but there were so many that she didn’t know where to start.
“We’ll have plenty of time to talk later. Let’s slip away now. It’s no longer our place to interfere.” Kira said, grabbing Xiao Ya, without looking back.
