Declaration of Intent

Serpang

Wow. So that's NOA!

There's a building floating in the sky! That must be the Astro Sanctum, right?

Not that I'm particularly interested.

Ehehe. I'm excited to try out all the snacks at NOA. Don't you agree, Toto?

Toto

Coo! Coo!

Lyn

There you are.

Serpang

Senior Sister Lyn!

Lyn

I've been looking for you everywhere. Getting some fresh air out here?

Now then, your hand please.

Serpang

Aw, hand sanitizer? Again?

Lyn

Fufu. It's your first visit to the Western Continent, after all.

You could catch a local illness. It's best to disinfect often. Now, your hand, please.

Serpang

Ugh... I can't stand that herbal smell...

Toto

Coo...

Lyn

So that's NOA...

A city-state renowned even in the East. The harbor alone is enormous.

Serpang

...Do you think she's really here?

Lyn

Hmm?

Serpang

We couldn't find any trace of her for years.

And now we're told she's not even on the Eastern Continent, but in NOA of all places. Doesn't that sound a bit random?

Lyn

Fufu. I'm sure she's there. It was our Sect Master's order, after all.

Serpang

It's not that I doubt him... but still...

Toto

Coo?

Lyn

What's wrong, Serpang?

Serpang

...Nothing. It's nothing.

We're here! Hurry up, Toto!

Last one there buys the snacks! Ready, go!

Toto

Coo?! Coooo!

Lyn

Fufu. Those two are just as close as ever.

...

So you've been far from home, in this distant land.

A former Wind Moon Sect disciple...

Now an exiled fugitive...

Fei.
