Chapter 170 - Follow Your Heart

Kimiya said, "Amazing! This is truly wondrous. Thinking back to the divination I gave you—the moon, illusion, and lies—it feels like a real omen."

Paimon suddenly realized. "That actually does seem to connect. Can you interpret any more?"

Kimiya rested his chin on his hand. "I think the deity's revelations are only vague hints. To understand the specifics would be the domain of the divine."

"The book says that as long as you trust your intuition and overcome the fear in your heart, the sun will surely rise."

[Navia: Assuming this is a dream, then the moon might represent night and dreams, while the sun represents morning, waking up, and escaping the dream. 'Illusion' means this place is false—it is a dream.]

[Paimon: With that explanation, his divination was really accurate.]

[Mona: It is not that his divination is particularly accurate. Rather, it is that your actions and the alchemy items produced a connection.]

[Lumine: So this kind of divination is quite reliable.]

[Nahida: I invented this divination, you know.]

[Paimon: Amazing! As expected of the God of Wisdom.]

[Ningguang: So, one must trust one's intuition and overcome the fear in one's heart.]

[Paimon: Intuition... how do you trust your intuition?]

[Yae Miko: Trusting your intuition means doing whatever you feel like doing. Do not think about why, and do not think about what good it will do.]

[Paimon: I see. It means eating when you want to eat, and sleeping when you want to sleep.]

[Navia: If you keep that up, you will get too fat to fly.]

[Paimon: I never get fat, you know!]

Paimon spread her hands. "Is that so? As expected, divination is just divination. It cannot solve practical problems."

"Sigh, we do not seem to have gained much. Who else can we ask?"

Lumine thought for a moment. "Let us go find Dehya."

Paimon said, "But I remember we tried to find her in previous loops, and she always thought we were messing with her. Will the result be the same this time?"

Lumine said, "This time, we can take her to see the real Dunyarzad."

Paimon agreed. "Indeed. With Dehya's sense of responsibility, she will definitely take it seriously."

[Dehya: Ah, I am being praised like that.]

[Furina: Dehya would be perfect for a role in the script I chose. Fiery and sexy.]

[Dehya: Opera? No, no, that is not my thing. Fighting as a mercenary suits me much better.]

[Furina: The pay is five million Mora. Just play yourself.]

[Dehya: How... how much? Performing is something I am good at too, especially if I just have to play myself!]

[Paimon: Is this what it means to follow your heart?]

[Dehya: Making money is always important!]

"At this time, Dehya should have just defeated the kidnappers. Let us go find her."

Dehya was as enthusiastic and proactive as ever. Seeing Lumine from afar, she waved and called out, "Traveler, perfect timing! Listen, it was dangerous just now."

Lumine continued, "Some kidnappers were lying in wait, and you just drove them off."

"Ah." Dehya put her hands on her hips. "So you saw that. If you saw it, you should have shown up sooner! With someone protecting the young lady up close, I could really cut loose. Now, can you do me a favor?"

Paimon continued, "You want to scout the area for any accomplices, and in the meantime, you want the Traveler to take Dunyarzad to rest, right?"

Dehya asked, "How did you know? That was exactly what I was going to say."
