The World's Ego (Book 2)

Otherworldly Experience Pt.1

Third Person POV

Sushang handed Susannah a handkerchief once they were out of the Opera Hall, chuckling in exasperation when she blew her nose into it. They were touched to be able to hear Eden's performance, sure, but Susannah took it more seriously than anyone else.

"I admit that Eden's songs are beautiful, but wow..." Raven sweatdropped as Susannah blew her nose again, "... Are you going to be okay?"

"Y-Yes..." Susannah sniffled, "I'm okay..."

"We had quite a bit of excitement." Mistlen chuckled in amusement before pointing to the stalls, "Why don't we go and buy some snacks? After that, we can continue sightseeing. The museum is nearby, isn't it?"

"It is." Griseo nodded, "I want to see what they have inside, too. When I return, I can tell and paint stories for the Little Vitas."

"Good idea."

They wandered around at their own pace, taking in the sights of people and monsters interacting. It was a sight they saw ever since they stepped foot into Tempest, but the peace and serenity could be felt. Their world was also slowly moving in the same direction, where Honkai and humanity could coexist without strife.

"The colours in the world are immense but also harmonic." Griseo smiled a little as she watched a few passersby, "... I wouldn't say it's all harmonic but..."

"It shows that their hard work never went to waste." Mistlen stated

"Yeah."

"Look at all of those game stalls." Kira pointed out, "Maybe we can get some souvenirs for ourselves!"

Susannah nodded immediately, "I want to try too!"

"Then let's spend a bit of time playing before heading to the museum." Sushang said, turning to the others, "That's okay with you guys, right?"

Raven nodded, "Yeah, of course."

"Alright, let's go!"

Kira chose a shooting game and she brandished the wooden gun that the stall vendor handed her, aiming and hitting precisely on target.

"Nice one, Kira-senpai!" Susannah cheered

"Go for another one!" Sushang cheered

Kira nodded enthusiastically and went for another prize, managing to do the same thing, and winning enough prizes for all of them.

"Thank you!" She said as she got her prizes from the stall vendor before turning back to her friends, "Hey! There's one for everyone!"

Griseo takes one with an appreciative smile, "Thank you, Kira-san. Wood sculpting..."

"The craftsmanship is well done." Raven noted as she rotated her wood sculpture around, "We can probably add our own colours to it back home. It'll make a good house decoration."

"It sure will." Misteln grinned, "I'll have the Little Vitas paint this if they are interested to."

Griseo smiled warmly at the thought of the little ones back at home, "I can teach them."

"Speaking of Vita, I doubt she will keep herself out of trouble for long." Kira stated with a huff, "She's been acting really weird ever since she returned last time. Always acting on a whim as usual..."

"I don't think she will cause trouble during the festival though..." Susannah said, "... At least, I don't think so..."

"We can't be so sure." Raven shrugged, "It's her, after all."

"Now, now, don't think about the heavy stuff right now!" Sushang said before pointing to a food stall, "Come on! Those buns look delicious! Let's buy some!"
