The old man stared at the document, lost in thought.
It wasn't about whether this knowledge should be shared—sharing it wasn't even a question.
The answer was absolutely that it should be shared.
Inazuma lacked many things, while the well-established body of knowledge from Sumeru could save Inazuma a tremendous amount of time in its own explorations.
But for the old man, this had sparked a new line of thinking.
Once things in Inazuma were settled, which nation should he head to next?
Furina in Fontaine might need some help, while Nahida's body remained confined in isolation, her consciousness wandering the outside world as she sought ways to become a mature god...
Two nations—which one to visit first?
Neither was an easy choice...
The old man looked at the Akasha application in the document...
And suddenly fell into contemplation...
The mentor recommended using Sumeru's Akasha terminal for communication.
Did the Akasha terminal really have such an immense range?
This Akasha terminal wasn't simple—it functioned like network communication and was a legacy of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, yet Nahida could roam freely through it.
So... did that mean...
Even if he was far away in Inazuma, he could still contact Nahida?
It felt worth a try.
If it didn't connect, no big deal. But if it did connect, that would be an absolute massive win.
In any case, the Akasha terminal posed no real threat to him.
Even if that Grand Sage had tampered with the Akasha terminal...
The secret arts of the adepti also included protections for one's own mind and spirit.
Just in case, he could call on Yumemizuki Mizuki to stand guard in his dreams. If something really went wrong...
Please, take a look at the Rex Lapis cat-dragon on my shoulder and the Electro Archon behind me—would you two say something?
With that, the old man unhesitatingly approved the application.
Wow, this Akasha terminal is really amazing.
But Nahida being stuck in confinement all this time isn't exactly a minor issue...
The troublesome part is that the child herself feels she's not mature enough yet.
She's still being PUA'd by the Grand Sage to the point where she believes she should remain locked away.
Nahida's lack of maturity isn't her fault at all—without any practical experience, only theory, how could she possibly become mature?
The Akademiya people even took away her beginner's gift package, the Gnosis, and didn't give her any development resources, causing little Nahida's growth to be extremely difficult...
But if he could get in contact, none of that would matter anymore.
This is Inazuma, you know, Nahida—perfect timing for you to practice and become a mature god~
You can even consult your senior, the Electro Archon—though this senior's experience is pretty subpar, failed experiences are still worth learning from~
And by sticking with the old man, you can also consult the most reliable senior, Morax, for successful experiences~
Hehehehehehe...
The float sways and bobs...
Nahida opened her eyes, only to find herself already in the old man's bowl~
Hehehehehehe!
At that moment, the old man's mood was excellent, and he let out a very wicked, very creepy-uncle-like laugh.
By his side, Kirara—who now already had two tails—was completely unfazed, having grown used to it.
The old man looked at Kirara, whose second tail had already grown in.
Speaking of which, he'd been too exhausted earlier to notice, but this cat Kirara had actually sprouted a second tail.
Right now, cat Kirara was controlling her cat tails to curl them up, and the curled pattern looked somewhat like a fox's tail.
Ah, Kirara, have you ultimately spent too much time hanging around foxes?
Back at the Kamisato residence, everyone had actually seen Kirara grow her second tail.
But with the Shura Anyakonsen-shou playing the victim and begging for comfort, no one had paid much attention at the time.
Now that the Shura Anyakonsen-shou had started working, the kids outside the house were also showing curious interest in cat Kirara.
