The surrounding space trembled slightly, and the restored pieces shattered once more.
There was something else about to be pulled from the illusory surface.
Artisan squinted his eyes, waiting expectantly while muttering, "Even the Fairy Ancestor Puppet could be moved; what can't I handle?"
A sigh sounded out of nowhere.
And faint sounds of a zither seemed to come from beyond the horizon.
The spirited little people suddenly became listless, and started to slack off.
Artisan's expression turned wary as he looked around.
"Why must we fight…"
Beside him, a plaintive, mournful sound echoed continuously.
Artisan glanced around, then said with a smile, "Well said! Why must we fight indeed! I, Artisan, am not one to fight…"
"Since neither of us wishes to fight, why not sit down and talk it over?"
To prove his sincerity, Artisan even put away the disk.
