In the end, Fang Zheng chose Package A.
It's not that he was reluctant to spend money, but because none of the options provided by Stifal were safe enough, he ultimately decided to handle it himself.
Isn't it safe enough? We'll send the person back ourselves; you just need to hand over the compass!
Of course, Fang Zheng understood that Stifal wasn't intentionally talking nonsense. Although he had never been there, he had read records about the Star Realm in the Mage Tower's archives. It truly is a bizarre and eerie place where no one can be completely sure they can leave alive, not even deities; they might even end up as corpses wandering within.
Sending Touma back through the Star Realm on her own was impossible, so Fang Zheng decided to assemble a team to escort her back... and maybe find something burnable along the way.
