Cub 121: Who’s Joking With You?
In a public region of space, a Gesen Empire mecha squad spoke their words with righteous arrogance, even mockery. Holy Cas? Who knew what Holy Cas even was? Saying that here meant nothing at all.

Tricked 038: The Third Victim
Jiang Yan had a deep impression of that stall. “Blessing Like the East Sea Brand Mattress.” “Let us cure your illness called aging.” Although Jiang Yan didn’t believe a mattress could strengthen the body, she genuinely thought the advertising line was clever.

Cub 120: If All Goes Well, Something’s About to Go Wrong

Cub 119: Zao Zao Felt Uneasy
Your task has been completed—welcome back to Holy Cas. No one could feel the weight of those words more deeply than they did at that moment.

The mechs’ guns opened fire in a sudden barrage. They drew the swarming insectoid aberrant beasts out of the corruption tide. All of Holy Sanctuary blared its alarms; the clan—small enough to fit inside a few large starships—mobilized quickly as procedures dictated.
