Chapter 30: Status Update

When I opened my eyes, I saw that we had appeared in Kusumura's throne room.

"Welcome back! What did you find on Kazan? Have you learned more about the universal disturbance?" Kuzumura asked, sitting on the edge of his throne.

"Um… while we didn't learn much of anything about the universal disturbance, we did save the merpeople city of Kaiyo," I replied.

"I see. So it was merpeople that invaded Kazan… Did you learn their motives for doing so?"

"That's the thing. The king of Kaiyo's advisor had killed the king before they even left the planet of Kaiyo. The girls and I think that Same, the advisor, was corrupted by some unknown force, possibly the force that is causing the disturbance."

"I see. That theory does have some merit… I assume you all know what you must do, correct?"

"Yes. We must go to planet Kaiyo and see what has become of it. From what we learned, it was taken over by strange invaders, just like Daichi and Kazan. Hopefully, we can learn more about the mysterious force."

"I wish you all the best of luck. I know it must be difficult for you all to go from planet to planet and learn of terrible betrayals and heartbreak."

"It's nothing we can't handle, right girls?"

"Yeah!" they all exclaimed, ready for a new adventure.

"Then let's go! Kaiyo!"

And with that, we were off to a new planet and a new adventure.

To be continued…
