Chapter 4: The Penglai Emperor’s Resurrection
Part 12

When Kasumi walked out of the temple ruins, Jun rushed over to her, panting.

He immediately handed over the Phoenix’s Heart to her, still clueless of what was going on.

“You should take this,” he said, and realized that Kasumi had tilted her head, confused. “… Uh, there are some choices on the display window…? Maybe you can use it.”

At that moment, after looking for signs of Alice, Jun shook his head.

Now, the quest would be just any normal quest. That’s how the rules worked.

“… Seems like everything’s okay.”

Kasumi smiled, but then she strained her ears. Whose voice was she hearing? Jun thought about how she heard the Penglai Emperor’s voice earlier, during the event.

Then, the voice right now was…

‘Yes… right, well then, see you around.’

Just as he said “see you around”, light wrapped all around Kasumi’s body.

To Jun, it seemed like the small source of light rose up into the skies from her palm.

Or actually, it might have been just an illusion. However, when he looked back at Kasumi, the red stone that had lain in her hand had disappeared.

“The Phoenix’s Heart?” she asked.

“It left.”

“Where did it go?” Kasumi looked up at the sky. There wasn’t a single cloud. It had escaped into the blue sky.

“It’s waiting at the end of the blue sky. That’s what it said.”

“Really? The Phoenix originally…”

— The end of the blue sky.

Jun had heard those words both from Alice and from Kai. Jun and Kasumi gazed up into the sky.

What could possibly be up there?
