Crown Dead

"Let's go, little guy!"

Step on the clutch, pull up the handbrake, put on the sunglasses (picked up from the dirt), chew on the bubble gum, and the BGM is full of "Then, that... the aftermath?"

Little Joan of Arc began to feel a little scared, instinctively looked at Xian Yu, but Xian Yu just smiled and waved at Little Joan of Arc.

Catch the shrimp!

"Wow wow wow wow!!"

Maanna ejected and started, carrying the cry of little Joan of Arc straight into the stars.

——Among the stars

"Okay - so beautiful!!"

Little Jeanne's eyes were wide open at this time, and she was gazing at everything in front of her with full concentration.

The starry sky is not a rare thing, especially for Joan who was born thousands of years ago before the thing called 'light pollution' existed.

Human beings can only look up and observe the starry sky from the farthest distance. Even if they want to reach out and touch it, the moment their arms are reflected in the field of vision, the distance between the stars and themselves can only be compared more strongly.

The little Joan of Arc has never looked at the starry sky carefully, and it is clear that such a clear and bright canvas is above her head, but she has never really looked at it.

But now

One by one, the bright stars converge from points to lines, and from lines to planes, extending continuously, covering the entire sky.Under the light of these light spots, the deep blue sky is as beautiful as flowing water.

And the little Saintess is sitting in the sky boat, surrounded by stars.

"How about it? This is a unique scenery that only I, the goddess of Venus, can see. It's beautiful, right?"

"That's amazing—! But I don't know why, it would be even better if it was a sled!"

"Don't be kidding me! Where am I going to find a moose?"

"Hey hey"

Joan of Arc stretched out her arms happily and tentatively. This time, the distance between herself and the Milky Way was finally no longer far away, as if she was within reach, and even more like she was swimming in the sea.

海

Little Joan of Arc seemed to think of something at that moment, but she immediately shook her head again.

——I exist only to repay Xian Yu-sang's favor for my grown-up self, and to save Favna, so I can't think of strange things!

"What's the matter, innocent Miss Saint, did you shake your head because you were afraid?"

"No... just... well, in short, I will definitely overcome this trial!"

"...That's really, admirable."

Ishtar sighed slightly.

The short but memorable flight in the air is finally over, and Ishtar leads little Joan back to the ground.

"I have to admit that you are stronger now, and I lost." Ishtar said disappointedly.

"Then, now you can tell us where Favna is!"

Little Joan asked anxiously, while Ishtar pointed to the city-state of Uruk not far away.

"I don't know the specific situation, but I only know that the [Coordinator King] among the four heavenly kings is currently in that war city, studying the evil plan to annex the world. There are rumors that the [Collection King] is very important to the [Coordinator] Wang] is just a pawn! So she must understand the information you want!"

"The coordinator...Xian Yusang, it looks like we need to speed up! Hurry up and go to that war castle!"

Little Joan immediately ran towards the city wall not far away, while Xian Yu glanced at Ishtar.

"It's almost the same as what you guessed before. The child seems to have completely misunderstood what he wants. If the deadline is really before dawn, it's quite dangerous to be honest."

"Of course I know... After all, I've been with her for so long. But it's also true. It's not normal for adults to figure out things that children can't figure out."

Xian Yu looked at Little Joan who was hopping and waving to him, and smiled.

"It's much more mature than the stupid look at the beginning. Sure enough, falling in love is something that can make people grow up quickly."

Ishtar suddenly put on a gossip face and poked Xiao Xianyu's waist.

"Huh!? What are you doing?"

"Sister—cough, I mean that cold, socially phobic Reaper, how far are you guys involved? Is it on the level of 'Qiu Mi~~'? Or is it on the level of 'muamuamua'? Or is it? ——'Papapa, Xianyu-san's words are fine...!' to this extent?"

"puff--!?"

As expected of an old driver who can turn in the gutter, Ishtar's problem made Xiao Xianyu almost cough out his lungs.

"It's not as...that as you said! And now is not the time to talk about this! Anyway, thank you for your cooperation, I will find time to return this favor! Just like you said, time is actually very tight, I'm going ahead."

The little salted fish ran towards Youzhen as if fleeing, Ishtar looked at Xianyu's back and smirked, then sighed again.

"That little guy just wants to live for other people, but don't you stupid-"

PS. For the favor of this incident, Xianyu finally responded with 【Recommend a Douyin Divine Comedy song list to Ishtar】. By the way, the person involved expressed strong praise, and the residents of Uruk started crowdfunding to develop the A crossbow shot down by the gods.

Chapter 33. The King of Cards

Looking at the still majestic Uruk city gate in front of me, I have mixed feelings.
