Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

There are still many people on the field challenging the activities.

Most of them are simple children's games, with various balloons from nowhere, circles made of garlands, and boomerangs that can be thrown.

The whole venue was filled with the children's laughter.

There are also relatively mature amusement projects, such as archery challenges, racing challenges that allow you to "enjoy" a short flying experience, and even role-playing games that simulate combat. The overall atmosphere is very relaxed.

"Wow, that's hard to imagine. With so many things, could it be that Lord Barbatos arranged them all in one night?"

Sanyueqi is lively and playful by nature, so of course he can't just stay in the car and watch Wendy, so he drags Lingke around.

After the previous united front, although Ling Ke hated socializing, she was not averse to people she could talk to, so she had no resistance to March 7.

As a native of Beloberg, such a dazzling array of entertainment activities is indeed something that people could not have imagined in the past.

If you are not careful, you will be addicted to it.

Even Uncle Yang got out of the car and prepared to stroll around here, and help with security. Although it was not clear whether the automatic robot they encountered earlier was an isolated case, they still needed to be careful in such a crowded place.

Therefore, Danheng was the only one left in the car to watch Wendy.

He had no intention of talking to Wendy. Instead, he put on his headphones, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes.

However, when Wendy tried to crawl out of the car like a caterpillar, he gave her an accurate reminder.

"If you're rational, you'll realize that running away now will only complicate things. You'll eventually have to return to Beloberg, right?"

"Ah... That's true. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Go find the person you've let down and apologize sincerely. Then fulfill your obligations. I think they'll forgive you."

"Is there a more escapist alternative?"

Perhaps irritated by Wendy's attitude, Danheng's expression darkened slightly. He took off his headphones and turned to look at him.

"What you did was, after all, just a small emotional lapse. We also met with that Pella intelligence officer before, and she didn't show any signs of emotional trauma. When she mentioned you, the smile on her face was undoubtedly genuine."

Although he didn't know why he had so much to say, now that the topic had been opened, Dan Heng didn't intend to remain silent.

"Since there's still a chance to repent, and things aren't irreversible yet, even if there's some undercurrent of deep affection, I don't recommend you just run away."

"...So, Danheng, you're someone with a story. Guys like you should be popular with girls, right?"

"I think the key point is not here, but what exactly you are going to do."

Dan Heng avoided the topic. A guy like him who had to bear the future and give up the future was not qualified to pursue such things.

Now he has taken root on the train. Unless someone who can touch his heart appears in the future, he will never be able to fall in love.

Not to mention, compared to such complicated relationships, he still prefers to stay in the data room to maintain the think tank, sometimes he can sit there for a whole day.

"...I will leave this planet. After all, an adventurer can't just stay in one place, right? There are such vast galaxies and countless stars waiting for me out there."

"Won't you feel sad?"

"Of course I feel sad about things like this. But it's not like I won't be able to come back in the future. I just like the feeling of freedom without being bound by constraints, rather than wanting to escape these responsibilities."

Wendy, who originally looked particularly dejected, once again revealed a gentle smile at this time.

"Like you said, since things haven't reached the point of no return, I naturally have to respond to her expectations."

However, before this rare scene of showing off was over, the car door was opened. Wendy, who had been sitting up leaning against the car door, naturally tilted her body and fell directly to the ground, crying out "Ouch" in pain.

"Wow, sorry. I didn't see you leaning against the car door, but... by the way, what were you and Danheng talking about?"

March 7th seemed to be frightened by him, but he still helped to lift Wendy up and brushed off the dust for him.

Although she knew that the other person probably just didn't want the dust to dirty the cushion, Wendy still thanked him.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Mitsuki."

"No, no. I made you fall to the ground. I wouldn't do anything to make things worse, right? Also, don't call me Little Sanyue. It always feels a bit weird to be called that by someone younger than me."

Sanyueqi's cheeks flushed slightly. Of course, it wasn't because of the other person's words, but simply because she had the strange feeling of playing a prank on someone and then being thanked.

"Where's Lingke?"

Dan Heng asked when he found that Ling Ke, who had gone with her, was missing.

"She happened to run into Miss Perla on patrol, and she ran over excitedly and told her that she had caught Wendy and asked her to come over quickly."

Although Ms. Pera looked very embarrassed at that time, she at least managed to calm people down with her aura and took Lingke to talk privately.

However, looking at Miss Pella's expression, she didn't look happy at all, but rather panicked...

Didn't we just catch that little rascal Wendy? Why do you look like the sky is falling?

With this in mind, March Seven moved Wendy away with disdain, fearing that she would be associated with him.

Uncle Yang also came back at this time. When he saw Wendy, who looked pitiful, being held in the arms of March Seven, he couldn't help but speak for him.

"Little Sanyue. We are not the parties involved and have no right to punish Wendy on behalf of Miss Perla. Moreover, we don't know the original situation. If this is a misunderstanding, I'm afraid..."

"No, Uncle Yang. I didn't bully him. Wendy just fell down, and I helped him up. And it seems like your attitude towards him has become much better since I wasn't there for a while. Is it my imagination?"

"March...did you really not notice?"

Dan Heng looked at her for a while, but soon convinced himself.

"But, since it's you, it's not surprising."

"So, Sanyue is really too slow to realize my true identity until now—"

Wendy shook her body hard, trying to overwhelm March 7 with her momentum, and she also asked back like a supporting role.

"What's your true identity? Who else could you be? Phantom Thief Wendy?"

"No, no, that title has absolutely nothing to do with me. If possible, I would rather you call me the bard Wendy. Or - you can also call me another name, Barbatos."

When Wendy showed an expression of "come and praise me", Sanyueqi looked at Uncle Yang, then at Danheng, and then couldn't help laughing. He held him with one hand and pointed at Wendy's cheek with the other, smiling happily.

"Hahaha, everyone, laugh at him together."

Chapter 102: Shadow of the Guardian

"..."

While everyone was laughing and joking on March 7th, the atmosphere at the scene became a little solemn for some reason.

"..."

Wendy was neither angry nor annoyed, she just closed her eyes and waited for the opportunity to come.

"Ha...haha? You you you...why aren't you guys laughing?!"

San Yueqi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if he was frightened by this atmosphere that seemed to be the only one who was in trouble.

"Xiao Sanyue, this universe accommodates any possibility. No matter how unbelievable something seems, we need to be prepared to accept and understand it."

Walter gently pushed his glasses, like a teacher teaching a student who had made a big mistake.

"Of course. It's more that you overlooked some of his unusual behavior."

Dan Heng added with an expressionless face.

"Hey, hey, I didn't hear you say there was anything strange about Wendy. Wasn't he acting normal all the way here?!"

Sanyueqi poked Wendy's face again in disbelief, and he opened his eyes and looked at her with the gentle eyes of caring for a fool.

Although he felt inexplicably angry, March 7 still insisted on asking.

"I say, you didn't lie to us before, did you? You're Wendy, and your ambition is to become the greatest adventurer in Beloberg? And, not long ago, you deceived Miss Perla's feelings, right?"

"Well... judging by the results, this is one truth, one falsehood, and one guess."

"So, you are really Barbatos?"

"Hmph. Even if you want to compliment me now, it's too late, ok?"

Wendy showed a somewhat smug look.

"You're kidding! You're someone so respected by everyone, and someone who can change the climate of an entire planet, and now I'm tying you up and holding you in my hands like a cabbage!?"

San Yueqi had a look of astonishment as if his worldview had collapsed.

"...Well, the praise at the beginning is correct, but the adjective at the end is redundant."

Wendy tried to shake his body again, trying to break free from the restraints. March 7 did not continue to tease him, but let him down.

"But what proof does Wendy have that she is Barbatos?"

"Hmm... My power is strained by maintaining the Great Movement of Wind Flow, so it's a little difficult for me to prove myself right now. But there's another way. Didn't you say earlier that Lingke-san was going to find Pella? She'll definitely recognize me when she gets here!"

After explaining, Wendy thought about the purpose of this trip and suddenly hesitated.

"However, if possible, I still hope you won't spread the news of my presence here. After all, if they saw me in such a state of disgrace, my glorious image in their hearts would surely crumble, right?

From the perspective of an organizer, I hope everyone can enjoy this hard-earned celebration."

"Since you have this awareness, please behave more reliably!"

To be honest, even though I have some faith now, it is still difficult for me to understand why Wendy appears as such an ordinary person.

Perhaps because the people on this planet believed in Barbatos so fanatically, she subconsciously compared him with other star gods.

Like other star gods, which one of them doesn’t come and go without a trace?

They act arbitrarily and wield the power of the Star God. For them, everything they do is just the result of obeying their fate.

Mortals are mostly just incidental byproducts in this process—

It is hard to imagine that there is a "God" who wants to become a "human".

Wendy, who was not surprised by this, just replied with a smile.

"Hehe. I'm not some patriarchal old man. Problems that the Belobergs can solve should be left to them to solve themselves."

“That’s true though…”

While March 7 was covering his head, wondering what details he had overlooked, the crowd on the other side was also separated, and a team of guards hurried here.

Then they quickly surrounded the scene, led by Pera, who was running at full speed until she found Wendy who was kidnapped like a hostage among the pioneers. She couldn't help but feel a blackout in front of her eyes.

"Ugh...how could this happen?!"

She pushed her round-frame glasses with trembling fingers and spoke timidly to the pioneers who seemed to be wearing a gang filter, like relatives of kidnapped people.

"How many Winter City shields do you want?"

"what?"

March 7 was stunned.

"How much Winter City Shield should I pay you for Wendy's safe departure? Or do you want credit points? If it's over ten million, it might take us some time to gather the money..."

When Pera's somewhat annoyed voice came, March Seven immediately realized that this was the best opportunity to make a fortune, further expand the influence of the Pioneer, and even lay the foundation for the establishment of the big villain.

However, the above fantasy is impossible to appear in reality!

When March 7 was about to untie Wendy first and then explain, Pella suddenly shouted "Stop!" and ordered the Silver Mane Iron Guards to retreat thirty meters collectively.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Before the pink-haired girl could react, the petite intelligence officer said with a humiliated expression.

"I understand your rules. Not wanting to make an offer means you're planning to kill me at any moment. I'll have the Iron Guards break the siege and let you go. This should be a good basis for negotiation, right?"

"No, no. Miss Pera, please listen to our explanation!"

"No need to explain! I only regret that I didn't realize your evil ambitions!"

"Eh--?!"

This time even San Yueqi couldn't hold it anymore, and after Uncle Yang and Dan Heng looked at each other, they sighed helplessly.

"As expected, every pioneering journey turns out like this due to various unexpected developments."

"To be more precise, it was done by March alone."

"Hey, why are you two still trying to shirk responsibility? It was clearly you and I who kidnapped him together, Danheng, and now you want me to take the blame alone?!"

March 7th looked as angry as a pufferfish.
