Upon hearing the title "Heir," Klee was completely baffled.
"The successor...?"
“That’s right, I am the astrologer who has seen through the secrets of the starry sea! You must have predicted my arrival long ago.”
"A sea of stars? What is a sea of stars? Are there fish in a sea of stars?"
"Fish...? No, don't play dumb. Are you afraid of my challenge?"
Klee was completely confused; she racked her brains but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Sister, what are you talking about?! I don't understand a word you're saying!"
Seeing this, Huiyuan felt utterly helpless.
"I already told you, you've got it wrong, Mona."
Looking at the innocent little girl in front of her, Mona began to doubt herself and lost confidence.
(Miss Lingling's divination might have its results altered, but how could my astrology possibly be wrong? Why is that...)
“But my astrology is never wrong… Hmm, just in case, I'll ask again, your mother's name is ‘Alice,’ right?”
After Mona asked the question, Claire suddenly realized and said, "Oh, right! Oh! My sister is Mom's friend. But Mom has gone to a very far place now..."
“I know that—it’s the result of astrology. But before she left, she must have left you all the occult knowledge she knew, right?”
Mona asked another question, and Klee's single-core CPU processor started running at high speed, arriving at the conclusion, "I don't know."
"Mysticism, knowledge... I don't quite understand. My mom only taught me how to make a bouncing bomb."
Having reached this point, Paimon gradually began to understand some of the situation.
"So, Klee's mother is Mona's 'friend and rival'?"
Seeing Paimon's question, Mona patiently explained, "Yes. My master is very skilled in astrology, but that's all she knows. Alice is different; she's a polymath proficient in all sorts of mystical fields..."
"So... Klee is so young, even if she heard those profound facts, she probably wouldn't understand them."
After Paimon came to this conclusion, Mona slowly accepted the truth.
Looking at the little guy who only reached her waist, Mona spread her hands helplessly and said, "Hmm, it seems he only inherited the bloodline, not the knowledge... What a miscalculation, there's no way to compete with him... By the way, little friend, before Alice left, did she tell you about the 'fifty-year promise' and that box?"
"Oh, I know that! So you came to get that box, sister. Let me look for it, just a minute!"
After saying that, Klee put down her backpack and started rummaging through it.
"It's not this...it's not this either...no, no, this isn't it either..."
Klee took everything out of her backpack one by one until there was nothing left to throw away, then she remembered something.
"Ah! I remember now, I hid it and my new treasure in the Land of Windrise! Wait for me a moment, I'll get them right away!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Klee ran off in a flash.
"Ah...don't run away! Don't you want the things in your bag?"
Seeing Claire suddenly leave, Paimon called out.
Seeing this, Mona squatted down to pick up the fallen items and said, "I'll help her clean up these things, you guys go after her."
Looking at the scattered school supplies, Mona couldn't help but feel worried.
"Sigh, seeing how reckless she is, I'm really worried something might happen to the suitcase..."
Seeing Ying and Paimon chase after them, Huiyuan was about to follow when she felt weak in her limbs, and then her stomach made a "gurgling" sound.
It's obvious that they're hungry.
Although we had a big meal at Wangshu Inn, after a day's journey, the food digested faster.
Since we can't run, we might as well stop moving.
So Huiyuan squatted down and helped Mona pick up the fallen items.
After a while, once she had finished tidying up, Mona spotted a book among the fallen items.
"This is..."
Seeing Mona pick up the book, Huiyuan advised, "I suggest you don't read this book."
Before Mona could finish speaking, she had already opened the book and started reading.
"Huh? What's wrong with looking at it..."
Huiyuan was speechless and helplessly spread her hands, saying, "...Oh well, it's really fate."
At this moment, the system's teasing voice came out.
"Host, you need to be more forceful. For example, you could just snatch the book away and perhaps reverse this tragedy."
"Maybe so. But she's already read the book, so it's too late to say anything now."
......
Two hours later, the three little ones, Ying, Paimon, and Klee, returned.
Upon seeing the visitor, Mona, who was sitting on the stool, slowly stood up.
"You're finally back! I was so bored waiting. I was thinking of reading to kill time, but this is just a weird diary, totally pointless. It clearly fell out of Klee's bag; I thought it contained some ancient knowledge. Anyway, so, did you find the box?"
After Mona asked the question, Klee took out the box, handed it over, and said, "Found it, it's intact!"
"That's great—wait?! Why isn't it locked?! And inside...uh! Why is it empty inside?!"
Seeing her older sister's shock, Klee began to explain.
"That's right, because I borrowed this box to store the treasures I've collected."
"borrow?!"
"Now that my sister wants to take this box back, I've taken out all my treasures, and the box is empty now."
Mona has one head, two big... well, maybe not that big, cough cough... I mean the head, not that part.
After hearing Keli's explanation, Mona was so shocked that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
"You used it to store your things?!...Then, what happened to what was originally inside? I want that!"
"Oh, so you wanted the things that used to be in the box... You should have said so earlier."
Looking at the innocent Klee, Mona became worried.
"You...you didn't break it, did you?"
Klee shook her head and waved her hand, denying it: "No! It's not broken at all."
Seeing this, Mona finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That thing is the book in my sister's hand."
Following the direction of Claire's finger, Mona slowly turned her head and looked at the "mysterious diary".
"babble--?!"
Mona, realizing what was happening, was horrified and quickly covered her eyes.
Then, realizing it was too late to cover his eyes, he opened his hand a crack and looked at the contents of the book.
"This...this...so this book, this diary...belongs to the old woman...could it be her diary from fifty years ago?!"
