Souta opened his eyes again and found himself in the guest room of Shiroyasha.
Before him were tatami mats and a low round table. The environment looked somewhat familiar.
The last time he visited the Little Garden, he was probably teleported into this very room.
The Shiroyasha sat across from him, holding her phone and scrolling through it.
Noticing the flash of white light, she put down her phone, squinting as she sized Souta up.
"Hm?" The Shiroyasha's eyes showed surprise. "You brat... seems like you've gotten a lot stronger."
"Of course, when we first met, I was just an ordinary person. There's a huge difference from back then."
Souta naturally sat down, looked around, and then asked:
"Where's Black Rabbit? Why haven't I seen her?"
"I've already had someone notify her. She should be here soon."
The Shiroyasha estimated the time and said.
"Alright, then we'll wait."
Souta looked at her curiously and asked:
"By the way, has the main trio arrived yet?"
"They won't be here that soon. Based on our estimation, it will still take two to three months."
The Shiroyasha closed her fan and said:
"And lately, I've been busy looking for the Ouroboros people, so I haven't paid much attention to 'No Name'... Tch, not being able to say the name of the community really pisses me off. How about we just chat on the phone?"
"..." Souta was speechless. "We're sitting face to face, and you still want to chat on the phone? That's a bit much. And..."
He showed a slightly surprised expression.
"I thought after knowing the story, you would help bring back the 'No Name' people and help them rebuild the organization."
"Do you have some misunderstanding about me?" The Shiroyasha said, dissatisfied. "I'm a God, not running a charity. I give humans trials, not hand out rewards on a silver platter."
At this point, she paused for a few seconds, then sighed:
"After all, the ones who can be remembered by me are the main members. They'll come back on their own later, seeking them out is their trial. It's not something I need to meddle in. As for the others..."
The Shiroyasha shook her head:
"The rest, I don't even remember their names. They are just dust in history."
"That sounds... so cruel."
"What's so cruel about it? There's a lot more of that kind of thing in the Little Garden."
Suddenly, the Shiroyasha spoke in a serious tone:
"Kid, now you're a god too, though not part of our system, but the aspect of immortality and long sight is the same. You'll get used to this kind of thing sooner or later."
"This topic is too heavy, let's not talk about it."
Souta shook his head, no longer dwelling on the arcadia matters, and instead asked:
"Shiroyasha, what are you planning to do about the upper gods and deities in the Little Garden? What's your plan for moving to the new Little Garden?"
"Hmph! The establishment of the new Little Garden requires more than half of the solar sovereignty in my hands. Want to abandon this place? No chance!"
When the upper gods and deities were mentioned, the Shiroyasha's attitude immediately turned hostile:
"However... we can't do anything about them for now. In the Little Garden, I'm not invincible. If a fight breaks out, the gods will come into action, and even I would be suppressed, so..."
The silver-haired kimono-clad loli sighed.
"We'll have to use the old methods from the story. Let let Izayoi Sakamaki defeat the final trial of humanity! Once Azi Dakaha is defeated, the wind of decadence will disappear, and the upper gods will naturally give up on the idea of establishing the new Little Garden."
Although she knew when Azi Dakaha would appear, she couldn't think of a solution.
That Demon Lord couldn't be sealed away; sooner or later, he would emerge!
The Ouroboros had only sped up the process of the seal breaking.
Fortunately...the human who can overcome the final test of humanity—Izayoi Sakamaki—has finally appeared!
Azi Dakaha cannot be defeated by humans alone, but must be defeated by a specific person.
This person is none other than Izayoi Sakamaki.
Only after being defeated by Izayoi would Azi Dakaha never be able to resurrect.
So, she planned to take a gamble on Izayoi!
"Uh... You want Izayoi to defeat Azi Dakaha?" Souta asked in surprise. "Are you saying you're going to let the Ouroboros people break the seal of Azi Dakaha?"
"The seal is useless." The Shiroyasha shook her head. "That Demon Lord has been sealed too many times, and when was the seal ever truly effective? He'll come out sooner or later. Since that's the case, it's better to take a gamble with Izayoi and try to defeat him as in the original story. Of course..."
She changed her tone and added:
"I don't plan to let Ouroboros handle the sealing. This matter is something I'll take care of personally, ensuring that the casualties in defeating the Demon Lord is minimized."
"I see, that's why you're in such a hurry to find the Ouroboros people."
A helpless expression appeared on the Shiroyasha's face.
"It's just a pity that my strength hasn't fully recovered, otherwise, finding them wouldn't be so troublesome. That Kalki(Highness) has the 'Pseudo Star Map Creation', so divine clairvoyance gifts don't work on him. It's been bothering me."
"If you can't find them, why not wait for them to show up?" Souta suggested. "You can just wait at the [Rise of the Fire Dragon]. According to the story, he will come there sooner or later, bringing his subordinates to find Sandora."
"Waiting for them is the last resort." The Shiroyasha sighed. "If possible, I'd rather find him sooner and gain control over the situation."
"Shiroyasha, I think you're too passive right now."
Souta thought for a moment and said:
"Why not broaden your approach?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" The Shiroyasha became interested. "Could it be... you have a way?"
Souta waved his system phone and said:
"If you can't solve it on your own, get some external help! Save up points, and when you have enough, buy an invitation letter, invite a powerful person into the group, offer them some benefits, and have them help out."
The Shiroyasha was confused. "Aren't we the big shot?"
"You're too weak. You barely count as a mid-tier power, not even close to being a big shot."
The Shiroyasha clenched her fist, making it crackle, her expression extremely displeased:
"You brat really dares to say that... Alright, looks like you've gotten a bit full of yourself after your recent power boost. Let's see how deep your skills really go!"
"Wait, I didn't mean to insult you..."
Souta coughed lightly and quickly said:
"Don't get excited. I don't look down on you at all. I'm just speaking the truth."
"Let's go. I'll show you around my Game Board."
The Shiroyasha sneered.
Souta didn't say anything else, directly pressing his finger to his temple.
With the power of his divine energy, a sliver of memory was copied and extracted, turning into golden light floating in front of the Shiroyasha's eyes.
