Under the patient guidance of Einstein and Prometheus, Elysia finally succeeded in finding the correct coordinates for the World Bubble where the City of Salt and Snow was located.
This time, Ai-chan hadn't issued any related missions, so she could only figure out the operations step by step on her own.
As the Thousand Worlds Bridge activated, Elysia's figure once again disappeared from the Schicksal Test Field.
However... she thought to herself, it seems ever since she arrived here, she's been busy looking for people.
Oh my, I'm really working hard~
...The City of Salt and Snow and the Nation of Sand and Iron are two very special World Bubbles.
They are unusually connected, which is unique among the countless World Bubbles in the Sea of Quanta. It is said that those who pass away in the City of Salt and Snow will continue to "live on" in another form in the Nation of Sand and Iron.
Of course, these things weren't very relevant to what Elysia was about to do... Elysia's fingers lightly picked up a few fine, snow-like grains of salt, and while surveying the surrounding buildings, she said:
"The architecture here looks like it's from an earlier era~"
She then waved to her imagined camera and asked:
"Can the audience in the live stream see clearly?"
[Seele Vollerei: The City of Salt and Snow from a slightly earlier time doesn't look much different from a few years later, but if things here were changed, then in the future...]
[Misteln: Are you worried that if that event didn't happen, you wouldn't be able to obtain the authority of life and death?]
[Seele Vollerei: That was a completely unavoidable situation. If that event hadn't happened, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.]
[Veliona: She's actually worried about the two World Bubbles merging in the future.]
[Prometheus 17: If problem is resolved in advance, in that timeline, you probably wouldn't come into contact with matters concerning the City of Salt and Snow.]
[Prometheus 17: But there's no need to worry too much. Misteln and I will still go there because of the Alien Stigmata matter.]
[Misteln: That's right, by then, the problem should be easily solved.]
[Seele Vollerei: Mmm, I understand.]
[Veliona: You should worry more about your own affairs.]
Elysia wandered around the City of Salt and Snow for a few circles, and incidentally asked the people she met for news about Vita.
The people in the city didn't seem to show too much surprise at her unexpected arrival.
This was quite normal in most World Bubbles.
The city was covered in "white snow," looking pristine white, and there were many helpful people.
[Seele (No Surname): Don't the people here feel cold?]
[Bronya Zaychik: This place is called the City of Salt and Snow, which means those things on the ground that look like snow are actually salt.]
[Seele (No Surname): A place covered in salt? Wouldn't that be too salty to bear!]
[Gepard: But purely based on appearance, this place does have some similarities with Belobog.]
...After being reminded by Susannah and Shigure Kira, Elysia also put away her desire to taste the "snow salt."
After asking several helpful individuals, she gathered some information about Vita:
Not long ago, a young girl came here and quickly integrated into the local life.
Elysia looked at the distant tall tower, which looked like a giant salt crystal, surrounded by spiral columns.
"Oh my, I just heard a few uncles and aunties say someone was asking about me."
A voice came.
"So it was you? You're a very beautiful girl~"
Elysia turned her head and saw a gray-haired, red-eyed young girl looking at her.
"Wow, so you're Vita! You're indeed a cute girl too!"
Elysia instantly became excited and eagerly moved closer to Vita.
Upon closer inspection, Elysia always felt that she looked very much like Su.
This sudden approach startled Vita. She paused for a moment and asked:
"Eh? But how do you know my name?"
Elysia wiggled her index finger and said with a smile:
"It's a secret~"
She then winked, and with a mischievous tone, said:
"And you have secrets too! You've been watching me for so long just now. It's hard not to think you might have other intentions~"
Vita was stunned again, then asked:
"So you found out a long time ago? Then why didn't you say anything?"
Elysia clapped her hands and said as if it were obvious:
"Of course, I wanted a beautiful girl's gaze to linger on me a little longer~ That makes me very happy~ ♪"
"Well, well, I'm quite honored..."
Vita's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she muttered to herself, why did it feel like her thoughts were being predicted?
And it seemed she couldn't execute her plan at all. This feeling was truly stifling.
She composed herself, put on an innocent, sweet smile, trying to regain the upper hand, and asked:
"So, beautiful elder sister, what can I do for you?"
"Of course, it's about you~"
Elysia replied.
Vita feigned confusion and asked:
"Me? What about me?"
"Alright, then I'll briefly explain what I need to do."
Elysia cleared her throat and spoke very quickly,
"First, take me to that place called Forlorn at the edge of the solar system for a wonderful adventure, then wake up my dear Griseo..."
"And then help you achieve your grand plan. As for the things you've done, if Griseo is willing, I'm not saying I can't forgive you, you know~"
"...How about it? How about it? Doesn't it sound exciting?"
Elysia's string of words left Vita utterly bewildered.
She was already at a disadvantage verbally, and now she was shocked by Elysia's words.
Imagine, a beautiful girl suddenly appears, not only knowing all her secrets and plans, but now also saying she can help deal with her superior and help her rise to power?
Was this world crazy, or was she crazy?
Vita was momentarily dazed... To be fair, Vita was quite ruthless when it came to betraying herself.
[Sparkle: Good sister, to make yourself show such an expression, it seems you're quite hard on yourself~]
[Vita: As expected, this is also a test for her, isn't it?]
[Sparkle: What happens next should be a bit boring.]
[Sparkle: @Vita Good sister, when are you coming to find me? With us sisters united, we can surely achieve great things!]
[Vita: There will be a chance.]
[Sparkle: [Good Sisters]
[Vita: [Good Sisters]
