Location: Lil Red Storm Realm, Realmʼs Womb, Seed World, Warehouse Section

[Demon Merchant ʼFortuneEyeʼ has joined Egg Guild.]

”FortuneEye, as in the private eye of fortune? I like it,” Wyatt remarked, accepting Clown Maskʼs guild request.

”Why choose a new codename when you already have one, Clown Mask?” the Field Marshal teased, pointing out Clown Mask still preferred using the codename given by the Circle rather than her real name listed in her ancestral registry.

”FortuneEye, congratulations on joining the Egg Guild.”

”FortuneEye, welcome to the Egg Guild.”

Compared to the Field Marshalʼs teasing, Susan and Park gave Clown Mask a warm welcome. They were pleased that she felt comfortable enough around them to appear without her weeping and laughing clown mask.

”I can see most of you donʼt understand why I chose Clown Mask as the guildʼs business development manager. You will once you learn about her abilities. Clown Mask, bring them up to speed and get started right away. And Park, after this guild meeting, meet me at Coreyʼs cottage. Sheʼs awake, so we can start creating the card for her,” Wyatt instructed, preparing to leave.

He chose not to participate in the guild meeting because he would receive updates through Clown Mask and Ceed anyway. By doing this, he wanted to show Susan, Park, the Field Marshal, and Dredre that he trusted them enough to hand over the reins. However, he still retained control behind the scenes.

”Wyatt, wait. How do I get out of here?” Park suddenly stopped him, puzzled about how to move from the warehouse section to the living section of the Seed World, as there were no visible doors or pathways connecting the space sections.

”Just ask Ceed, by saying aloud where you want to go, or you can have Dredre help you,” Wyatt replied, before teleporting to Coreyʼs cottage, where she was conversing with Lil. Baem using their familiar pact card.

”Corey, youʼre up?” Wyatt asked, waiting for her response.

”Wyatt, just a moment. Iʼll come out,” Corey said, getting off her bed. She used her cleansing card to freshen up and a makeup card to fix her appearance before stepping out to meet him. ”Whatʼs up?”

”Did you forget? I told you weʼd make a mental defense-type skill card for you after the celebration. Do you remember, or are you still hungover?” Wvatt teased aloud.

”Letʼs get started!” Corey shouted enthusiastically, inviting Wyatt into her cottage. ”Why are you being so loud? I can hear just fine,” Wyatt said, staying outside as he tended to his ringing ears.

”I shouted because you did,” Corey shot back, causing Wyatt to look her up and down before saying, ”Letʼs wait for Park to join us.”

”Alright, but where is Park, anyway?” Corey asked. Since Park was in an isolated space created by a celestial, Corey couldnʼt sense her presence.

”Sheʼs in the warehouse section, attending a guild meeting. Until she arrives, how about we meet Lil. Baem?” Wyatt suggested.

”Are we going to the Card World just to meet Lil. Baem? Thatʼs too expensive. Letʼs not,” Corey declined, aware of the hefty costs involved in using the transportation function of the Devil Merchant.

”I was thinking you could summon Lil. Baem to the Lil Red Realm. She can live freely here compared to the Card World. Here, she wouldnʼt have to worry about accidentally destroying a city with a sneeze or a snore,” Wyatt explained.

Though Lil. Baem was doing well as the guardian beast of Sky Blossom City, her presence caused chaos among the citizens, especially the Card Lords, who could sense her immense power whenever she moved or played around. The past few days had seen Sky Blossom City become both the safest and the most chaotic place due to her presence.

”I donʼt know, Wyatt. The Lil Red Storm Realm is too desolate. I think sheʼll be lonely out there,” Corey expressed her concern that the Lil Red Realm might not be the ideal home for Lil. Baem, as Wyatt suggested.

After becoming a celestial, Dalie had made significant improvements to the Lil Red Storm Realm, but it was still a work in progress. The first thing she fixed was the realmʼs fragile space. She modified the celestial array so that the space would only be fragile when meteors and asteroids, attracted by the array, entered the atmosphere. This was why, during Coreyʼs recent battle, the space remained sturdy enough to withstand all her attacks without a single tear. However, the realm was still far from becoming a second home for Lil. Baem.

”How about I have Ceed build a separate sector filled with floating forest islands, beasts, and monsters, so she can eat, sleep, play, and practice to her heartʼs content in there? Consider it a small playground made specifically for Lil, Baem. This way, you can visit her whenever you feel like it,” Wyatt proposed.

He was eager to relocate Lil. Baem from Sky Blossom City before people, who had hailed her as the cityʼs guardian beast, started viewing her as a curse and attempted to drive her out with pitchforks and torches. After all, a beast of her caliber was too much for a small city like Sky Blossom City to handle. Just her presence alone was too taxing on the mortals. Even though Lil. Baem remained in control one slip can lead to

a genocide.

”That would be great, but what about when Iʼm in the Card World?” Corey asked.

”Canʼt you just summon her whenever you need her?” Wyatt replied.

”What if she wants to return to her playground here?” Corey asked again.

”Please stop asking stupid questions.”

”Why are you being mean?”

”Why are you being stupid?”

”Do you want a piece of me, Dalton Wyatt?” Corey challenged.

”Bring it, Bright! Youʼll finally get to taste the whooping of a lifetime,” Wyatt retorted.

”Get over it, neither of you are doing anything,” Park appeared, she did not see the tension but a playful banter between friends.
