Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 687 - 688: Requesting Support

’This, this is clearly not normal!’

’Hey!’

"Miss Mengxi, are you really going to appease Bloody Butterfly, or are you going to flirt with girls?!"

Sakura was somewhat hysterical, screaming in her heart.

Last time,

Because she released all her power to help Mengxi fight against the rampaging demon dragon, Sakura had fallen into a deep, death-like slumber due to exhaustion of her power.

She had barely recovered a bit, and had just awakened to help her mistress approach Bloody Butterfly, only to fall into a coma again from the overwhelming stress.

And during the half-month period she was unconscious, Sakura felt that everything in the outside world had changed drastically. What shocked her the most was the relationship between her mistress and Bloody Butterfly.

’Is it my misconception?’

’Miss Mengxi seemed to be getting closer to Bloody Butterfly. Despite the fact that Bloody Butterfly was from the notorious Demon Temple of legend, why didn’t mistress show any caution or hostility, but instead kept running to Bloody Butterfly’s apartment?’

’Although Miss Mengxi always said she was going to appease Bloody Butterfly, to ensure the success of the holy war?’

’Hmph,’

’Liar!’

Since yesterday, after seeing the red marks on Mengxi’s body after her bath, Sakura began to seriously doubt her mistress’s words.

"Miss Mengxi, wait for me! I’ll come with you!!"

For her mistress’s safety and to ensure she didn’t stray off the path, Sakura decided she must follow her, ready to help her at critical moments.

However,

The next moment, Mengxi’s words left Sakura stunned.

"No need, I’ll go by myself."

"Ah? Miss Mengxi, are you serious?"

"Yes."

Mengxi nodded without hesitation:

"Sakura, you were created by the Goddess to assist me. You carry the aura of the Goddess’s divine power. If Bloody Butterfly senses it, she might become suspicious, which could affect the plans for the holy war~. So, little Sakura, you better not come with me."

Mengxi explained seriously.

Of course,

In the depths of the silver-haired girl’s pale purple eyes, a meaningful smile flickered at that moment.

Well,

If Sakura was watching from within her own body, how could she let herself go and play with Yumo? That would be too inconsiderate~

"Got it, Sakura? If you understand, then please take care of the house, bye bye ~"

"Wait? Waiiiiit!!"

Sakura tried to stop her, but before she could speak, the silver-haired girl flashed away in a swift streak of silver lightning, jumping out from the windowsill. In Sakura’s stunned gaze, Mengxi vanished into the horizon, leaving Sakura alone, disheveled in the wind.

"Miss Mengxi?"

Blinking blankly, it took Sakura several seconds to regain her composure.

Suddenly, unprecedented feelings of grievance, unease, and nervousness welled up in her eyes.

’Miss Mengxi, she... she actually went to meet an abyssal demon without me?! How... how could this be?!’

Sakura’s mentality collapsed as she frantically shook her head. She felt like a little dog abandoned by its owner, filled with a pitiable air. A sense of tragic abandonment continuously surged in her heart.

You should know,

Ever since she and Mengxi came to this world together, they were inseparable, with Mengxi heavily relying on her. Mengxi would consult her for everything. But now? Not only did Mengxi go on her own to meet that terrifying Demon Temple, but she also left Sakura behind in the bedroom?

’It’s over!’

’Miss Mengxi, she must have been seduced by that demonic woman!!’

’That damned Bloody Butterfly?!’

’Could she be a succubus?!’

’No, I can’t just sit by and do nothing! I must, I must bring my mistress back to the right path!’

Thinking this, Sakura took a deep breath, suppressing the sadness and depression in her heart, and her eyes suddenly became resolute. Ignoring Mengxi’s order to stay and guard the house, Sakura leaped out of the windowsill and landed in the bushes below.

In the next moment,

Without hesitation, she released the limited power within her body and quickly dashed out of the temporary headquarters of the Sunlight unit, running towards the distance.

Of course,

Sakura wasn’t running towards Yumo’s apartment, as she knew she couldn’t stop her mistress now.

She,

Needed to seek help.

And the person who could assist her was also in Anvika.

--

Two hours later, Sakura finally arrived in a small alley outside the city of Anvika.

Having just awakened and not yet fully recovered her strength, and after expending all her remaining energy to hurry, Sakura was now as powerless as an ordinary child, except for her intelligence. This journey was fraught with countless dangers.

At one moment, she was nearly devoured by a large dog; at another, almost captured by a tomcat to be its mate; and then, she was nearly turned into a pet by a noble brat...

After such a series of ordeals, Sakura was exhausted and panting heavily.

However,

Thinking of her mistress who had been deceived, Sakura quickly rallied her spirits and looked towards a seemingly plain and unremarkable bookstore in front of her.

"I found it... indeed, it’s here..."

Taking a deep breath, Sakura cautiously raised her small, fluffy paw and pushed open the door of the store with all her might.

As the door opened,

The unique ancient aroma of an old bookstore immediately enveloped her.

In the next instant,

Contrary to the unpretentious exterior, the bookstore revealed a grand and majestic interior. Priceless ancient paintings and statues adorned the vast space, and countless varieties of books were neatly arranged on the shelves. In the expensive showcases, numerous magical materials were displayed, seemingly covering every possible type.

Undoubtedly, such a large-scale magic bookstore, located in a rarely frequented alley outside Anvika, was a highly unusual phenomenon.

However,

There was no sign of surprise on Sakura’s face, as if she was already accustomed to such a space.

Quickly,

Sakura hopped over to the counter, facing the voluptuous figure standing there.

The woman had a full figure and a graceful posture, dressed in a bright red garment resembling a cheongsam, with milky white garter stockings covering her long, slender legs. Her platinum blonde hair was smooth and beautiful, simply pinned up at the back of her head. Her skin was like jade, and her beautiful eyes were expressive, exuding an indescribable charm and maturity at all times.

This bewitching and seductive beauty was further accentuated by the two fluffy fox ears atop the woman’s head.

Upon seeing the fox lady, who was the owner of the shop, Sakura hopped right in front of her without any reservation and, panting heavily, began to speak rapidly:

"Quick, Noya! Help me! Miss Mengxi has been acting too recklessly recently. She not only recklessly contacts that Bloody Butterfly but has even forgotten her mission to expel abyssal demons, thinking only of mingling with Blood Butterfly all day long. Today, she even left me behind when going to meet that succubus demon, wuaaah! She used to always take me with her, sob*… Miss Mengxi, she definitely has been... she’s definitely been brainwashed by that Bloody Butterfly!"

"I feel that even if it’s not brainwashing, Miss Mengxi might already be immersed in the other’s beauty! She seems to have no intention of continuing to follow the trial procedure. What should we do now?! The Goddess will be so disappointed if she finds out!"

"Also, I’ve discovered a very serious problem. That impostor from the Church might, perhaps, possibly be, the Dark Abyssal Lord who was defeated by the Goddess before! That monster seems to have signs of breaking through the seal! What should we do?! In short, these are all very serious issues! Noya, you must tell the Goddess about all of this!"

...

Upon seeing an old acquaintance, Sakura immediately began to vent her grievances and important discoveries of the recent times, enveloped in a heavy air of unease and complaints.

However,

As she spoke, Sakura’s brows furrowed.

She suddenly felt something was amiss.

"Noya?"

Sakura noticed that Noya, the fox lady who usually smiled teasingly and loved to make flirty remarks, remained indifferent and silent after hearing her numerous complaints and important information.

Noya stood at the counter with a smile, perfectly poised as a lady, completely ignoring her?

And also,

’Why was the fox... sweating coldly?’

’What was happening?’

Sakura blinked, puzzled by the old acquaintance’s inexplicable behavior.

"Noya, what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you speaking? What’s the matter with you?"

Confused, Sakura repeatedly asked.

Noya remained smilingly silent in response.

However,

A voice from the side answered Sakura’s question on behalf of Noya.

...

——"Little fox has been a bit disobedient, secretly spoiling things to Yumo. I’m not pleased with that~. So, I just let her stand there as a little punishment~"——
