【Vanwyck was stunned for a moment. Refusing to believe it, he tried a few more times, but each time he was teleported to a fixed position outside the stage in the same manner.】

【“What's the situation?”】

【“‘Those who stray from the Path, shall be led back to the right way.’ — It seems this is the ‘correction’ the Bloodhound mentioned, identical to my methods back then.”】

【“So you were that iron-fisted even as a kid.” Vanwyck suddenly reacted, a strong sense of nausea welling up, “...Wait a second, if it's corrected in this form, then what I just ate...”】

【“I did warn you.”】

【Like a common drunkard by the roadside, Vanwyck vomited a rainbow from his mouth—】

【Sunday smiled slightly: “How does it feel?”】

【Vanwyck clenched his fist weakly, his tone extremely resentful: “I kind of want to kill you...”】

Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World.

“What an unreasonable rule, to actually make what was eaten be vomited back out from the stomach...” Beatrice's voice carried a rare hint of seriousness, “It's a bit like an ‘Autonomous technique formula,’ or even higher—the corrective force of the world itself. Once those rules are violated, the park automatically carries out a correction.”

“If Sunday had truly grown from a philosophical fetus into an Aeon back then, wouldn't he be able to directly master or revise any rule in the cosmos?” Subaru tried to get his brain working, “...As long as he wanted, he could turn the entire universe into Aiden Park?”

“Who knows.” Beatrice closed her book and placed it gently on her lap, “However, he isn't the type of person who would use divine power for such boring things. Compared to a certain someone, Sunday is already very restrained in his use of ability. If Subaru mastered the power of ‘Harmonization,’ who knows what a mess this world would become.”

“Hey...! Betty, you make it sound like I'm some kind of evil villain. My goal from start to finish has only been one thing, and that's to help Emilia win the Royal Selection!”

Hearing this, Emilia shyly and quickly picked up her teacup, trying to hide the two spots of blush on her face.

“It seems that although the power of the Path of Order doesn't affect the human body, once it spirals out of control, it still brings unpredictable chaos to the entire world.”

Ram walked to the coffee table and placed the snacks from the plate in front of everyone one by one, “However, no matter how chaotic the rules in this park are, Ram only cares about one thing—that the power of the Path of Order inside doesn't seep through the Celestial Screen and affect us... at least it mustn't affect Lord Roswaal.”

Subaru rolled his eyes: “Can't you worry about something serious?”

“This is Ram's most serious business.”

【“Anyway, since the trouble in Aiden Park is related to me, I cannot ignore it. No need for Dreamweavers, I will root out these distortions myself.”】

【Vanwyck asked: “What do you plan to do?”】

【“It's not complicated. Every distortion has a source, and once it manifests, it can be traced. We can deliberately violate some guidelines, as long as we can bear the consequences.” Sunday looked down at him, “When the surfacing echoes attempt to correct us, I will be able to find its location.”】

【“Then, use ‘Harmonization’ to smooth out the dreamscape.”】

【“Got it. Simply put—now, rules are meant to be broken?”】

【The two arrived at the trash cans and the Dreamjolt Troupe. They quickly resolved two urban legends based on rules, and soon a distorted echo manifested in the park, pointing toward a dim speck of light in the distance.】

【“Oh, it appeared. How should I put it, it looks a bit like you.”】

【“Let it dissipate then.” Sunday reached out his hand, “Manifest for me, as always—all things with pupils possess equal souls.”】

【As Sunday's voice fell, the speck of light also dissipated.】

【“It actually works.” Vanwyck clicked his tongue in wonder, “The IPC should find someone to keep an eye on you. Aren't they afraid you'll start over in Penacony and grow another pair of wings?”】

【“As long as I cannot show my face in public, there is no possibility of becoming a threat.”】

【“True, you've always played the role under the spotlight: the admired elite, the leader. When was the last time you fell into the mud? Does it go all the way back to your childhood?”】

【Sunday told the truth, his expression quite calm: “It was before I was six. Like a normal boy, I tried to fly using my ear-feathers, but I fell into a dirt pit and nearly broke my halo.”】

【“I just wanted to mock you a bit, but you actually remember?”】

【Sunday looked up ahead: “Moments of failure are always unforgettable; it's only human nature.”】

【“Treating something like that as a failure... I'm afraid you're the only one.”】

【Having said this, Sunday took one last look back at the park. Who knew how many areas in the current Penacony were still affected by the echoes of Order? For him, this farewell would be a long one.】

【The two arrived at the street side. Just as they were about to discuss their next itinerary, a man suddenly walked up behind them.】

【“I mean no offense, but you two had better not approach that side,” an enthusiastic “citizen” named Welt kindly reminded them. “The situation is still unclear; some anomalies have just appeared nearby, and the Family is currently investigating.”】

【Welt's gaze darkened. He didn't realize at all that he was being affected by Sunday's Harmonization; in his sight, the other party was merely an Intellitron female with her back turned.】

【“...Are you alright?”】

“It's over! Mr. We—Mr. Welt has fallen for it again! Wait... why did I say ‘again’?”

As Serika's excited voice fell, the Foreclosure Task Force room in Abydos instantly became quiet.

Ayane touched her face: “Ah... it seems that in the Astral Express Crew, Mr. Welt is indeed the one who gets ‘Harmonized’ the most. But fortunately, Sunday didn't intend to make a move this time, otherwise he would have seized the initiative again...”

Although Mr. Welt is very strong and can use that cane of his to manipulate gravity and black holes, it seems he hasn't had much of a chance to use them in Penacony at all.

“Uwhee~ Young people sure are full of energy.” Hoshino lazily rolled over on the sofa, let out a yawn while facing up, and squinted at the ceiling. “This old man here is already exhausted just from maintaining this lazy appearance. Sunday-kun can actually use Harmonization continuously... his stamina really is good.”

“Even though Hoshino-senpai's age is about the same as ours...”
