Although Bronya still needed to reconfirm Cocolia's stance, she now believed in the innocence of the Express crew and stood on the side of destroying the Stellaron.
Big Seele also wanted to join this Stellaron destruction operation, in her words:
"Is this thing the culprit that made us cower underground and mine? Then I must show it the power of my scythe."
Although March 7th explained that sealing the Stellaron didn't require combat, Big Seele still wanted to see what kind of thing could change the climate of an entire planet.
Returning to the surface wasn't difficult. When they came down, Sampo had brought them using some unknown means. As for returning to the surface, Big Seele told the others, "Svarog's base, the Furnace Core, leads to the Overworld."
Although Svarog would not leave the Underworld and guarded the Furnace Core to prevent anyone from the Underworld from going up, it was because he believed that, in the current situation, it would be safer for the people of the Underworld to stay in the Underworld. However, after recognizing that Takatsuki and the others might be able to save the world, he naturally lifted the obstruction and allowed them to pass through the Furnace Core to return to the surface.
"Oh right, you said you were wanted on the surface, didn't you? Will you be recognized if you go back now? What if you end up being chased around before you even do anything?"
Takatsuki suddenly remembered this.
"Oh, right. But Bronya is on our side now, so it should be fine, right?"
March 7th also realized this.
"No… the orders for the Silvermane Guards are issued directly by the Supreme Guardian. Even I cannot order others not to arrest you."
Bronya's words made March 7th and the others' hearts sink.
"Then what do we do?"
"Leave it to me. March 7th, you had my item, did you forget about it?"
Takatsuki rolled his eyes and held out his hand to March 7th.
"Huh? Is it the Gaia Foundation? But can't it only do makeup for oneself?"
March 7th took out the makeup box-like Gaia Foundation. After playing with it on the first day, March 7th quickly lost her excessive enthusiasm for it, only occasionally transforming into others for photos, so Takatsuki hadn't asked for it back.
"That's because your adaptability is insufficient."
Takatsuki took the Gaia Foundation and put it into his equipment slot.
Now his equipment slot was full with four items: the Gate of Babylon, Dog Talisman, Shikoutazer, and Gaia Foundation.
Why didn't he integrate the Dog Talisman into his body?
Because Takatsuki always felt that keeping the talisman in the system was safer than on his person. Look at Shendu; wasn't his inner magic taken out and made into talismans?
Although Takatsuki felt that this power was originally usurped by him, after all, the fire magic was not stripped out as a talisman. Even if the magic remained in the human world due to being sealed, the source of the power was still within Shendu.
So for the most important Dog Talisman, Takatsuki still felt it was safer to keep it in the equipment slot.
After putting the Gaia Foundation into the equipment slot, in the eyes of the others, Takatsuki took it out again and pulled out some makeup tools from it.
"It's a bit more troublesome to do makeup for others. Stand still."
Hearing Takatsuki's words, March 7th stood still. Takatsuki walked over with the makeup tools to change her appearance.
"Pink hair, uses a bow and arrow, ice-attributed girl."
Takatsuki changed March 7th's appearance according to the image in his mind, even changing her clothes along with it.
"It's you, Elysia."
"Elysia? Sounds like a girl's name."
March 7th asked curiously, "Is this how you're disguising me?"
"Yes, she's a lovely girl from our world, and the most sincere and flawless person in the world."
Takatsuki projected a mirror and handed it to March 7th.
"What a beautiful girl… Wait… isn't this just me! Just with changed hair and eye color, and different clothes and body shape."
Takatsuki shrugged: "No choice, I haven't seen what the real Elysia looks like either, only know her clothes and features. And Elysia's biggest features are these; I don't know the details of her face, only that the evaluation is 'a lovely girl.' Since March 7th is also very cute, there's no need to change it."
"Hmph, of course. But she's from fifty thousand years ago? What kind of person was she?"
March 7th asked curiously.
"What kind of person? If you must say, she was a mischievous and cute beautiful girl. The daughter of the gods sent by the stars and moon, she wished to be a companion to humans—that refers to Elysia, the only Herrscher not transformed from a human, a natural Herrscher, the Herrscher of Humanity."
Takatsuki said the latter half of the sentence in a different tone. Because he had only seen her in the game, Takatsuki didn't know Elysia's real appearance, so he could only change some features on March 7th.
Takatsuki then changed Dan Heng's appearance, changing his hair to white, and like March 7th, only altering some features without changing his face. After all, the people here weren't very familiar with them, so they wouldn't recognize them even without changing their faces.
"Is Dan Heng's appearance also someone you know, Takatsuki?"
March 7th asked curiously.
"Not exactly known, just aware of. The first of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers of the Flame-Chasers, Kevin. By the way, the second is Elysia."
Takatsuki casually answered while helping Stelle change her appearance.
"Why did you change Stelle's face when it came to her?"
March 7th asked curiously.
"Oh, it was a subconscious habit, because I've seen someone with this appearance. But it doesn't affect much, it's just a disguise anyway. Remember not to attack proactively, otherwise the disguise will be broken."
Star took the mirror March 7th handed her and asked, "Who is this?"
"This is Fu Hua, also one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, but I forgot which number."
Takatsuki gave an awkward laugh. He only remembered the first and second; Fu Hua's ranking wasn't very high, anyway.
"You said you've seen Fu Hua? Isn't she from fifty thousand years ago?"
"Because she's still alive now. Oh, right."
Takatsuki suddenly remembered and quickly said to Little Seele next to him, "Seele, when we go back, don't tell anyone about this, okay?"
Little Seele was a bit puzzled, but still nodded.
Takatsuki breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the others' confusion, he explained, "Because Fu Hua is living with us now. Although she probably wouldn't get angry over such a small matter, it's still better not to tell her."
