Chapter 364: The First Floor (1)
“I don’t recognize this ceiling...”
After white light surrounded me, the words that left my mouth were probably among the top one hundred quotes in the history of most overused lines, but I was actually lying. The sight before my eyes was very familiar. This was Cafe Planetarium. Once the lobby of the Great Library of All Life, it was now a cafe with a high ceiling.
—Oh? Why are we here?Ah, by the looks of it, you were called to another Pillar meeting. And I lacked the authorization level to watch it. Is that right, Zombie?
Yes, that’s...
I was about to say “right,” but I suddenly felt mischievous. If I were to list people I shouldn’t tease, the Guardian would be at the bottom of the list. I immediately put my prank into action.
[The Scream-Gathering Sky confirms the Sword Emperor’s statement.]
I had only thought of it, yet the message was still sent. Well, I had done this before, but still, it was the first time the Guardian received my message.
—...Huh.
The Guardian forgot what he was about to say and simply stared down at me. The feelings in his gaze were mixed, yet it was clear there was satisfaction with a hint of regret there.
—Yeah, it’s about time you become a complete Constellation. Gosh, you aren’t even a hundred years old, and you’re already acting like a Constellation? You’ve grown a lot.
I shrugged.
Come on. If you count the time I spent in people’s traumas, I would be way over a hundred years old. Anyhow, as you guessed, I went to the Pillars’ meeting. I won a duel and earned the right to edit my Skills.
