"I apologize for calling on everyone. Especially after we finally dealt with the Crisis and Crossbell has gained their independence." Zhongli said
"No need to worry, Zhongli. I'm glad that we got the whole crisis is over." Lloyd smiled.
"But what seems to be the problem for you to call all of us here?" Rean asked
"I'm sure you're all aware that even through Chaos Rean has been dealt with for now. I'm afraid there's a possible chance his mess is still around." Zhongli said.
"What do you mean by that?" Aether asked
"A moment ago, I just felt an ominous presence lurking in the Reverie Corridor."
Everyone had an !? over his head.
"An ominous presence?" Ryu asked.
"Yes. Although I don't know who... but I suspected it might be you know who."
"Chaos Rean..." Levi muttered.
"Tch. That bastard broken through?" Randy asked
"No. But... given the situation... It's possible he managed to bypass my barrier. After we defeated him, the purpose of the Reverie Corridor was supposed to decommission. But one of the sections has been rejected on any attempt to access it. Until the situation is settled, the Reverie Corridor can't decommission. But now it seems his work is the barrier protecting the Reverie Corridor. I fear either he found himself here for revenge... or he unleashed something here."
"Right. Chaos Rean's power along with Elysium was able to factor even the seemingly impossible by making convergence calculations. Remember, he tried to infiltrate this place before." Lapis said
"Yes, I recall." Rufus nodded. "I believed it was around the time we gained access to the fourth stratum."
"Normally, it wouldn't be possible to tamper with a phase space like this from the outside. But characters like Palkia, Chaos Rean, others with the ability to manipulate space, and Elysium are capable of just about anything." Renne nodded

(Trails into Reverie ost - Now, at the Beginning)
"Right. Elysium may be gone now, but I can't turn a blind eye to something it was responsible for. It's my responsibility as its formal administrator." Lapis place her hand over her chest. "I want to fully put the past in order before I set off on my new journey!"
"That's the spirit!" Nadia cheered. "I've for your back if it means getting my hands dirty!"
"I think it's safe to say that you can count on each of us." Olivert smiled
"Right. We've all share a connection with this place. It help us grow stronger, and all that. But at the same time, so is our bonds. It concerns me if something were to happen to this place." Daisy agreed.
"So you thinking what I'm thinking?" Florian asked.
"Heh. Sounds like a challenge for all of us." Roy (Fire Emblem)
"Right. Just like with the tower." Lyn nodded.
"Indeed. If that annoying pest keep bothering us even to here. Then it's time we dealt with him." Jin agreed.
"We owe the garden that Zhongli created so much. So it's only right that we return the favor." Mona agreed.
"Yeah. Sounds like its unfinished business for all of us." Shez agreed
"All right, then let's do it!" Chie smirked.
"We'll explore the corridor's depths. I'm sure we'll find something that will lead to a new peril, but we won't let that stop us." Yu smiled
"Ohohoh! Agreed. It rest on our shoulders to uncover the source of the anomaly and set things right." Karin agreed.
"Just like we've always done!" Alisa cheered
"Sondier this your chance to show everything you've learned on your journeys thus far." Sharon said.
"And if history repeats, we'll overcome this so long as we work together." Elise Schwarzer agreed.
"I promise not to hold us back. There's still so much I have to repay everyone for." Alfin smiled.
"We've spent a lot of time here together and achieved so much." Rean smiled. "I'd like to leave behind a moment that we were here, and this is the best way to do it."
"You mean like a lasting mark of what we overcome together?" Neve asked. "Well, count me in. I would like to further hone my skills further. My goal to be the strongest keyblade master hasn't change."
"It's about time we stopped holding back." Angelica smirked.
"Everyone." Zhongli smiled. "Thank you." He turn to the Black Mirror operator. "Allow us to enter beyond the fifth stadium."
"As you wish, creator. May fortune favor you as you enter these depths."
"The presence is learning in the fifth stadium depths. I was planning to investigate it myself. However, I found these." He pull out six Gold Sealing Orbs.
"Six Gold Sealing Orbs?" Mario asked
"Indeed. Although I'm curious who will be summoned to this realm." Zhongli said.
"Then why don't we find out, shall we?" Mitsuru suggest as they all taken to the Sealing Pedastal.
"All right, let 'em rip!" Luigi said as Zhong toss one sealing stone as it glowed.

(Trails into Reverie ost - Let's Go to the Banquet Tonight)
The Light dimed revealing to be Toval.
"What the." Toval blinked.
"Well if it isn't Toval! Our favorite Zero Artisan." Sara said
"Damn, so many familiar people here! What is this a gathering or somethin'?"
"Sort of, but nice to see you're here." Fie smiled.
"You too, Fie." Toval places his hand behind his back. "But man, there are a lot of great would-be bracers here— among the old AND new faces!"
"All right, let's see who the new one." Furina said as Zhongli tossed the Gold Sealing Stone as it glowed golden light until it dim for Aurelia to arrive
"P-Principle Le Quin?!" Rean gasped.
"Oh, shit. It's the Golden Rakshasa..." Roman sweatdrop.
"Well, well. This is quite a gathering. Did someone summon me without my permission for the celebrating party?" Aurelia asked
"No, not that. But there is a lot to be explained." Mavuika said. "Nice to see you again, Lady Le Quin."
"Ah, yes. You're one of Sullivan's eldest siblings no. I remember how well you and Mr. Zhongli fought well during the tournament. I was hoping we can have both a nice sparing match and a nice drink."
"Haha. Mind kind of gal. I was thinking the same thing."
"Oh great. Now Mavuika has found a new friend." Furina rolled her eyes. "All right, who's next."
Zhongli toss the gold Sealing Stone to the Pedastal and then came out was Penny Polendina.
"Penny!" Ruby raised her arms and cheered
"Ruby!" Penny Polendina raised her arms as they both hug each other.
"Penny, it's good to see you!" Alisa smiled.
"Alisa! So many friends here! Oh, I want to hug every one of you! Oh, and thanks for saving me too while I was being prepared. I hope I can still make it to the Celebration Party."
"Oh, I'm sure you will Penny." Tita smiled
"So... where are we?" Penny Polendina asked.
"We'll explain after summon a couple of people." Alhaitham said as Zhongli toss another orb and then came out was Vita.
"Vita?!" Emma gasped.
"Oh come on..." Celine mattered
"That's the greeting I get from you, Celine? Something never change." Vita giggled.
Roselia sighed. "Why am I not surprised that even YOU would come here."
"It's not like I wanted to come to this place. Anyway, where are we?"
"I'll explain after we summon two more allies." Zhongli said as he tossed another one and came was Victor Arseid.
"Father!" Laura gasped.
"Lord Arseid." Felix smirked
"Your Lordship!" Rean smiled
"Ah, Laura, Felix, Rean, and many faces I've recognized." Victor Arseid smiled. "Is this the celebration party I've been invited too?"
"Not exactly, Lord Arseid." Dimitri answered. "We'll explain everything once we summon our final ally."
"Understood." Victor Arseid nodded as Zhongli toss the final one and then came out Mcburn.
"MCBURN?!" Almost everyone yelled.
"Oh god damn it..." Ragna palmface.
"The hell kinda greeting is that?" Mcburn muttered
"Yo, it's my ol' buddy Mcburn!" Natsu wave his hand as he smirked
"Oh hey, Natsu. Been awhile."
"I still wonder how you two are buddy buddy." Gray muttered.
"Anyway, what's the big idea being summoned to this place? I'm a busy guy." Mcburn said.
"Okay I think that's everyone. Although I am rather surprised that Mcburn would be summoned here. But I'll explain." Zhongli said
One explanation later...
"So this place is where you guys further up your a-game huh?" Mcburn asked. "And all of this was because of Elysium and the evil doppelganger of Schwarzer?"
"That's the gist of it." Noel Vermillion said.
"And now it seems his work with Elysium has infiltrated this place. Either he himself is back for revenge or he unleashes something here." Vita said after hearing all the details.
"Hmm... I understand now." Victor Arseid said.
"In that case, we're all here to help!" Penny Polendina cheered
"I heard about it from Undine. I've heard that the professor made a copy of me with Elysium. I was this close to burning that old man alive for using MY body without my permission. Heard he did the same for Azrael. I've heard that he's been looking everywhere for that old geezer. Heh. I can see two people... well one thing is looking for his high horse."
"Oh he had it coming." Noel chuckled. "Especially the punishment I along with the Intelligentual and I gave him."
"Oh? Do tell, what punishment did you give him?" Renne asked.
"A punch to his stomach and to his face. And taken some of his privilege away."
"Nice."
"He had it coming." Vita giggled.
"He did." Emblem Loewe nodded in agreement.
"Well, I'll be a son of a bitch." Mcburn staring at Emblem Loewe. "It really is you, Leonhardt.
"Oh god damn it..." Emblem Loewe palmface. "I was hoping you wouldn't see me."
"You were hoping?! Do you have any idea how bored I have been ever since you kicked the bucket? Not to mention you owe me an explanation too you damn asshole."
"I'm not the Loewe that you know."
"Don't give me that bullshit." Mcburn fold his arms. "You may be his Emblem but you have his memories. Noel told me that you traveled with the Angel of Slaughter since she had your ring. And Walter told me you and he fought and you easily took him out."
"Tch..."
"I've got three things to say to you, Loewe. One: It's good to see you, Loewe. Miss ya."
Emblem Loewe folds his arms. "Anything else."
"Seriously? Not gonna say you miss me or somethin'?"
"Not even close."
"You're an asshole as always." Mcburn gave a deadpan look while everyone sweatdrop.
"And you're as terrible as Walter." Emblem Loewe shotback.
"Please. I'm not THAT bad as Walter."
"Keep telling yourself that."
"Pffft Bwahahahaha!" Noel burst into laughter. "Oh, I really missed how Loewe argued with Mcburn."
"It still perplexes me how those two consider themselves to be friends." Duvalie giving a deadpan look.
"Anyway, Second: Why the hell did you have to die?" Mcburn asked
"I've got what I wanted. Revenge against Weissman, and testing humanity by revealing how flawed and the ugliness of the world." Emblem Loewe answered.
"Okay, the Faceless I get, since that guy is downright an asshole. He got what's coming to him with his creepy obsession over Joshua. Still, it's far too soon for you to kick the bucket. I would've been happy that you still be alive. I can imagine you would left the society. It would've been better that way for you."
"That was the original goal. If that were to happened, I might miss a couple of things with the society."
"Heh. All right, last thing. I want a battle."
"No."
"You ain't taking no for an answer this time. I wanna see that you haven't lost your step. You were the only one 'sides Steel can go toe to toe with me. 'Sides, I miss our duels. They were the good times the two of us had. And I know you well enough that you miss those sparing matches." Mcburn said
"Hmph. If you insist." Emblem Loewe said. "But now isn't the place. Otherwise, our battle would have torn up the place. There's a place in Smash Bros that we can use. Hopes those Hands don't mind."
"Heh. It's a date then." Mcburn smirked "You better keep your word, otherwise, I'll have to find a little angle here."
"Hehehe. Dragging me into your affairs?" Renne asked. "How my life spices."
"Anyway, Loewe sides. I've seen a lot of strong people with whom I like to hang out. And this place sparks a little fun, so why not let me in on the action before I get too bored?"
"Cool! We got ourselves an Ouorboros reunion over here!" Noel chuckled.
"That reminds me, mind telling me what you've been up to lately?" Duvalie asked "Rumor has it that you've been ignoring the Anguis' summons of late."
"Yeah?" Mcburn asked. "Just had something I had to look into. It's taken care of now, through."
"Well, now you got us curious." Blake said.
"Hmm, I wonder that could be." Palutena wondered.
"Oh, maybe is getting some nice floor ice cream?" Pit asked.
"Not even close." Dark Pit palmface.
Vita sighed. "Please don't tell me you've been doing what I think you have..."
"Still the same hell-raiser you've always been, huh?" Crow chuckled.
"Dear me. I can't even recall the last time you and I had some fun together." Vita giggled.
"I don't mind pitchin' in every now and then to shave off the boredom. Give me a holler when you find something that puts up a fight." Mcburn said.
"Well, if you're interested, you can do right now." Zhongli said. "There's a ominous and powerful presence that might catch your interest."
"Oh, yeah? Heh. Looking forward to it."
"In that case, I'll go ahead and join ya!" Natsu palm fist with fire. "Looking forward for something fun, know what I mean"
"Oh, Then shall I accompany the two of you?" Alfin suggested. "My pokemon and I can use the exercise!"
"I'll join as well. Just to keep the princess company." Noel said.
"Hmhm. How chivalry of you, Noel." Emblem Arianrhod said.
"Heh. Try not to be jealous, Angel of Slaughter." Mcburn smirked
"Very funny, Mcburn." Renne fold her arms, narrow her look.
"Then allow me to also join you." Karin said. "Chun-li. What say you?"
"But of course." Chun-li nodded.
"Then I'll also join you." Eula said. "I've been meaning to stretch out my legs."
"And I'll guess I'll join you too." Marnie said.
"Okay then, we'll be watching from here then." Palutena raised her staff and conjured a live broadcast screen.
"The hell is that? A Broadcast?" Mcburn asked
"Yep. I use this all the time for the adventures we've have." Palutena giggled.
"Like how you use Pit for whatever." Viridi rolled her eyes.
"In any case, shall we?" Karin suggest.
"All right, lead the way." Mcburn said as his team took off.
"Let's go, Gardevoir!" Alfin tossed her Pokeball and came out Gardevoir and Eula tossed her Pokeball along with Marnie and Noel as Galarian Damanitan came out along with Morpeko and Kingdra as they went up.

(Trails into Reverie ost - Garden of Beginnings)
"All right, everyone, we'll have to wait here until further notice." Ei said. "Now... um..."
"You didn't think what to say, did you?" Miko asked with a teasing look.
"Shut it, Miko." Ei narrows her eyes at her. "Anyway, do as you wish here."
Everyone sweatdrop.
"Father, allow me to show you around." Laura said as Victor Arseid nodded and they take of.
"Allow me to show you too, Vita." Emma said
"By all means." Vita said as they take off along with Toval, Penny Pelendina and the others who are summoned.
"Mcburn out of all people. Never saw that coming." Levi scratch his cheeks.
"Nor did I." Rean nervous smile. "But I didn't expect this place to be invaded by Chaos Rean's final work."
"Neither did I... *sigh*. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what's goes on."
"Right. So. Levi. Shall we tell everyone the good news?" Rean asked as he smile.
"Ahaha. Yeah. I can imagine their surprise." Levi smiled as he blushed.
"Yeah. But I think we should wait until Everyone is here."
"Sounds like a good idea. Of course, especially Alfin, cause you know why." Levi scratch his cheek. "But I can DEFINITELY see Dorothee squealing."
"Haha. No idea." Rean nervous smile.

(Trails into Reverie ost - Mysterious Elements)
"All right, here we are." Marnie said
"So this is where the boss is suppose to be?" Mcburn asked
"Yep. Although I definitely felt something obvious." Alfin said.
"I wonder who will our foe be." Karin wondered as a purple vortez appeared and came was Overlord Mcburn. "Oh my!"
"What the hell?" Mcburn stare in disbelief.
"That's Mcburn's true form!" Palutena yelled.
"That should not be possible..." Zhongli muttered.
"Oh yeah!" Natsu palm fist. "Now this is gonna be fun! I can get to beat up, Mcburn again!"
"I'm standing right here." Mcburn giving him a deadpan look. "But haha! Damn! I didn't expect this! Now I'm getting excited!"
(BGM ended)
"Here he comes!" Noel yelled as Overlord Mcburn conjured fire and aim toward the group.
(Trails into Reverie ost - Bad Dream Invasion)
Natsu got in front and then begin devouring flames.
"Ah yeah! Nothing like fresh meal during the fight!" Nastu smirked. "And since Overlord Mcburn fires me up, I'm gonna kick it up a notch!"
"Oh great." Eula sighed. "Then I better not hold back. This will be an even more dangerous fight."
"Haha. This is gonna be an even foughter fight for me too." Noel said with a sweat on his forehead. "But this will be another stepping stone to reach great height. So let's do this!"

"ALL RIGHT!" Natsu raised his fist. "I've beat the overlord again!"
"By yourself?" Eula fold her arms.
"Err... no?"
"Then no. You didn't."
"Haha. I gotta say, Princess. Your magic is something else." Noel comment.
Alfin giggled. "I'm getting that a lot. I wouldn't call myself a student of the great Nine the Phantom otherwise."
"Heh. Just like your big brother and the other one, your Arnor Blood is special." Mcburn said. "Gotta say, I'm impressed."
"That means a lot coming from the strongest Enforcer."
"Still." Noel turn to the barrier as it disappeared. "I never expected I would get to see Mcburn's true form. Let alone it can be replicated."
(Trails into Reverie ost - Mysterious Element)
"Yeah, I gotta agree. Took me by surprise how well this place is built. This dump might be more fun than I gave it credit for." Mcburn agreed.
"I'm just glad that we were able to push through without getting seriously hurt." Marnie said. "Then again, Natsu WAS the one who mostly shield us by devouring the fire."
"Hold on. Isn't a being from the Divergent Law shows a bit concern?" Eula asked. "Then than, is the term Divergent Law appreciate now since now we can call it otherworldly?"
"That would be appreciated, yes." Palutena said. "However, Mcburn's Overlord Form still causes problem around his surroundings with his calamity form. It can't just appear in normal spaces."
"That's true. But the Reverie Corridor is a normal space, right?" Noel asked.
"Huh? What's got a cloud over you goody-goodys' sunshine?" Mcburn asked. "Besides, isn't this world including allow me to take my true form with ease now? Even back during the Twilight, my flames never cause issue to the surrounding."
"But if that is the case..." Emblem Arianrhod hummed. "I suppose because the "shackles" that did bind this world is broken. It's now free for all to travel. So putting it that way, it shouldn't be a problem for Mcburn to take appearance to his true form. So long as he's careful."
"Even so, it should not be possible for Mcburn's true form to take appearance here of all places. My administrator has no power to create that." Zhongli said. "This is most likely Chaos Rean's work."
"Why doesn't that surprise me? Considering his powers. But... why do I still have a—" A white shadow appeared before the group, causing them to have an ?! over their heads. "Oh!"
"..?!"
"Oh my." Karin blinked. "Who's this?"
"This looks like a white silhouette." Chun-Li hummed.
"It will take... more than... that... to kill..." The silhouette spoked.
"Did... she just talk?" Marnie asked.
'Hold on... why does she look like?' Noel thought.
Back with the group...
"What in the world..." Jusis rubbing his chin as they all staring at the live broadcast.
"..." Altina stared.
"That girl...' Lloyd thought.
"..." KeA stared
Back with the group...
"If you insist... on going any further... then you had best prepare yourselves... for what it to come..." Then she vanished.
"Okay... what was that all about?" Noel wondered.
"I'm not too sure, but she doesn't appear to be the master of this floor." Eula said
"You're right. She isn't." Zhongli replied. "Then that would mean..."
"The highest probability is that she is part of the Reverie Corridor that has established itself beyond my administrative bounds." The Black Mirror administrator spoked "Level 4B irregularities have been detected. Invoking administrator privileges. Now infiltrating the Reverie Corridor domain for further observation."
"Then it seems our job here is done. Let us return to the Garden. I'm sure everyone wish to discuss this right now." Karin said
"You're right. Everyone, we're coming back now." Chun-Li said as they headed to the elevator and return to the garden where everyone awaits.
(BGM ended)
(Trails into Reverie ost - Invisible Hand in the Shadow)
"Welcome back guys! We saw the whole fight! And it was awesome!" Ruby cheered
"Ahahaha! Why thank you Miss Rose. I'm glad that we made a show." Karin said.
"Then shall we discuss what we all saw then?" Alfin suggest.
"Yes. The presence I've sense within the Reverie Corridor still here, somewhere in the shadows. Which means it is not over." Zhongli said
"We better be ready for whatever Chaos Rean has sent to the depths." Celine said
"As the target has yet to be ascertained, it falls outside the administrative reach of the Black Mirror. Therefore all operations pertaining to it, including access and termination, are to be denied."
"Well I'm at a loss." Weiss sighed. "That girl that show up doesn't seem to fit with anything so far."
"Right. We're missing the surrounding clues that'll help make sense of her." Lloyd agreed.
"But the question is, who is she?" Winter wondered. "Assuming she's referring to whatever this presence Chaos Rean unleash to this space."
"Right..." KeA trailed off.
"Hmm..." Millium hummed.
"Well we can't deny that white silhouette is connected to Elysium and Chaos Rean." Aether said. "But to what exactly?"
"You got any clues, LP?" Nadia asked
"Noe at the moment, I'm afraid." Lapis replied
"There's something I wish to have clarified." Rufus rub his chin. "What sort of havoc arems0-called 'irregularities' causing by Chaos Rean?"
"A good question." Rachel rub her chin. "Something is interfering with the corridor closing. That much is certain."
"But now we must wonder to what... and to where within the depths." Raquel said.
"The 'havoc' being referred to is the expansion of the space beyond my administrative bounds. Over time, the space surrounding my centralized area of control has grown in size. Example: the most recent guardian that appeared. That being was not constructed by me."
"That's right." Zhongli nodded. "Either this is one of Chaos Rean's work, or something interfering with the Reverie Corridor is capable of replicating that guardian. You see, the Reverie Corridor I've designed has several limitations. Beings in relation to certain confidential matters are ineligible for reproduction. The Overlord is such a being. After all. I've designed this reverie corridor in a similar manner to that of Elysium when it comes to replicating monsters, creating hollows of people we know and use as guardians, or "bosses"."
"Then... what does that mean exactly?" Paimon asked.
"Either the girl swapped in the Overlord somehow, or it transformed the guardian that was already there into him." Joshua said.
"From the sounds of it, the space beyond administrative bounds is getting bigger." Kamek said.
"I don't think we can't ignore this, even if we wanted too." Yu said
"You're right." Akira nodded. "Especially with Chaos Rean wanted to destroy this place because of the threat it poses and how it help all of us gain greater height in skills."
"Right. If whatever he unleashes here will also endanger Zemuria. Possible other worlds if left uncheck." Morgana agreed.
Elie notice KeA was lost in thought. "KeA? Are you okay?"
"What's up, KeDO? You're looking blue." Randy asked
"Is there something bothering you that we can help with?" Tio asked
"Jiggly?" Jigglypuff staring at KeA.
"No. It's not that. I've just been stuck with this uneasy... feeling for a while." KeA said.
"That's not good." Aoi trailed off. "I hope it isn't an illness."
"I don't think so. It's not the same as feeling sick. It's like something about all of this is bugging me and won't go away." She said as Zeit hummed.
"If it's bugging you, then that alone should raise alarm bells for the rest of us." Renne said.
"Actually, Millium and I have also felt uneasy." Altina admit. "I don't know if it's for the same reason as you, KeA, but you're not alone in it, at the very least."
"Yeah. I can't put my finger on why I feel it, but it's there for sure." Millium muttered
"Then it wasn't my imagination. I thought something was bothering you." Jusis said.
"Maybe we should take this as a sign to thread more carefully this time." Mario advised. "If all three of them are easy, then it's-a-bound to be bad news. It would be best for them to feel safe."
"I agree." Peach agreed.
"It's not a matter of feeling unsafe. It's strange, yes, but it's otherwise fine." Altina said.
"Hmm..." Nahida hummed.
"Is something wrong, big sis? Don't tell me even you feel uneasy about this too?" Levi asked
"Well, I am worried about the situation. But I'm also worried about KeA, Altina, and Millium concerned. From my point in observation. It must be because of that girl. Her form was a shadow... but the appearance did seem familiar. We need to get more clues from her."
"Agreed." Mavuika nodded. "But we're going to be more careful for now on. The more answers we'll try to get— the stronger the enemies will be."
"Right" Rixia nodded.
"Then who's going to enter the next stadium?" Alear asked.
"Well, I am quite curious since I was brought here. So I'll be coming along." Vita said
"In that case, I'll also join you." Roselia said. "Speaking off, I have a request from the Young Enforcer with Lianne's Ring. May I borrow her?"
"I don't mind. Is that all right, Divine Ones?" Noel turn to Alear and Amia.
"Of course." Alear nodded as Noel take off the Ring of the Steel Maiden and gave it to Roselia as she takes it and put it on as Emblem Arianrhod appeared next to her.
"You know. Maybe I should go too." Aether said.
"In that case, I'll also go too."
"Same here brother." Amia said.
"Haha. Then allow me to join you." Aurelia said
"Then mind if I join you?" Erza asked.
"Hehe. Perhaps I'll join as well." Jingliu said.
"All right. For our next team heading toward the Sixth Stradium, please make way to the depths of the 5th Stadium. While the rest of us will watch." Zhongli said
(BGM ended)
Rean look at Levi as he responded in kind, both smiled as they nodded.
"Actually, before you all go further, Levi and I have an announcement we like to share with you all." Rean said
That caught everyone's attention.
"An announcement?" Annette asked
"What kind of announcement?" Edelgard asked.
"Ahaha. You guys are going to be surprised. I just propose to Levi and—" Levi reveal his Engagement Ring, causing everyone to have an !? over their heads. "We're getting married."
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Everyone yelled
And that's a wrap for this chapter! And now it's time to begin the wedding planning!
