5 Chapter 4

In the original work, 2A was portrayed as a cold and distant character, with minimal dialogue throughout 30 hours of gameplay. 

However, seeing her conversational style in the chat group made Adonis wonder. 

Had she finally found a place to vent her stress? It was a thought that crossed his mind.

[Ding, Angelbeat - Kanade checked in today and got 83 points.]

[Inori: ???]

[Anna: ???]

[Shiina: I kept the record for a week, but in the end, it was broken by Sister Kaede.]

[Kaede: Na, how do I say this, when discussing points, I remembered that I hadn't signed in yet, and I didn't expect to have such good luck today.]

Seeing this, Adonis couldn't help but smile. 

His gaze wandered over the chat group before settling on the check-in function. 

He was curious to see how many points he could accumulate with [Miracle] active on his body.

[Ding, Adonis signed in today and got 120 points.]

[Kaede: ???]

[Shiina: What happened?]

[Inori: 120? Did I see that correctly?]

[A2: I was wondering why there's no Aeon of luck in the Star Rail world, and this... This is outrageous. If there was an Aeon of luck, this would be its doing.]

[Adonis: Maybe this is a miracle.]

[Shiina: It's clearly a miracle!]

[Kaede: ....]

[Anna Kushina: Just joined the group chat, and he already has more points than most of us... Wonderful.]

[A2: @Great Guardian Adonis, if you don't mind me asking, did your presence alter the timeline? I believe the solution to the [Stellaron] crisis might be different now. Could you upload it so I can update my database?]

[Adonis: Alright then.]

[Shiina: I admit that your luck is very good, but that aside…... we need to see it…...]

Seeing this message, Adonis couldn't help but wryly smile again, he knew exactly what they were asking for

[Adonis: If I'm not wrong, it should be a photo of me?]

[A2: ???]

[Adonis: Oh? I thought that's what you're asking for, however, if you want to, you need to pay a little fee for that.]

[Shiina: Astringent pictures are not allowed in the chat group!]

[Anna: Shiina-nee, I don't think it's the astringent kind, it's the ordinary one he's talking about.]

[Kaede: Shiina's mind is not healthy…...]

[Shiina: ....]

[A2: Anyways, it's a deal!]

[Anna: I'm also curious to see what the Great Guardian Adonis looks like.]

[Inori: Can't say I'm not curious…...]

[Adonis: ... Tomorrow then, it's getting late over here.]

After posting his response, Adonis exited the chat group. In a matter of minutes, he began tidying up the paperwork on his desk. Despite a year in his role as Great Guardian, he never quite got used to dealing with paperwork.

Thinking about the upcoming day and the [Stellaron], Adonis couldn't help but wonder who it would possess now that Cocolia had been freed.

"Working too much isn't good for your health. You don't have to be like this all the time. Anyways, I'm heading out," he muttered to himself, preparing to leave for the day.

Adonis, without glancing back at Cocolia, was on the verge of leaving the office when she unexpectedly called out, "Bronya, protect her tomorrow... Please."

Adonis turned back to look at the woman. Their relationship had soured somewhat, even though he hadn't intended to overthrow her. Nevertheless, he responded, "You don't have to tell me twice." He then turned to exit but paused midway. "As I've said, you're too stiff. You should take better care of yourself."

Cocolia watched him with a sigh. She didn't hate him; in fact, she was grateful to him for helping Belobog get back on track. But everything had happened so suddenly.

Furthermore, her daughter had witnessed a side of her that she had never wanted her to see.

...

And at this time.

Beloberg Upper District.

Inside the Goethe Hotel.

"After hearing so much about the Great Guardian, why do I feel like we've entered a cultist territory?" Stelle remarked in a hushed tone as she sat on the edge of her bed. In the room with her were Dan Heng and March.

March Seven chimed in, "I mean, someone did mention that he managed to ease the tension between the upper and lower districts, which had been ongoing for over a decade."

"Is it possible that after becoming the Great Guardian, he somehow lessened the influence of the [Stellaron] on this world? It almost sounds like a fairy tale," Dan Heng mused, standing by the door with a more serious expression. 

"But almost all the residents of Belobog can confirm that Jarlio-Vi's temperature has been gradually recovering, and the cold wave is subsiding."

"Moreover, when we went to Backwater Pass, we could indeed see the traces of the receding rift," Stelle added.

"It's truly a miracle that the rift, which had posed a threat to Belobog for years, has now been reduced to half its original size," Dan Heng concluded, and they exchanged meaningful glances. Everything they had witnessed today pointed to the extraordinary nature of Great Guardian Adonis.

Compared to other planets grappling with the [Stellaron] issue, the current situation on Jarlio-Vi could only be described as miraculous. The three of them couldn't help but recall what Jepard had said earlier.

– Lord Guardian, is miracle incarnate itself.
