[Indarias]

At the top of Wangshu Inn, Xiao's emotions were in turmoil. He stared blankly at the sky, his mind adrift.
"Indarias… Bonanus…"
But there was a silver lining. For the deceased to appear on this list meant the Heavenly Principle of that other world would surely revive them… and then take them as her brides.
Compared to the sudden marriage of his sisters, wasn't the fact that they could live again the greater cause for joy?
--+--
[No.38]
[Chiori]
[Current Residence: Fontaine. Inazuman. Accomplished Fashion Designer.]
--+--
"Oh no, oh no! It's Fontaine's turn now!"
It was blatantly obvious now; this was a systematic sweep, nation by nation.
The hearts of Fontaine's citizens leapt into their throats. They were caught in a contradiction, both fearing that their beloved female figures would appear on the list, and yet also fearing that they wouldn't.
How conflicted!
However!
--+--
[No.39]
[Kirara]
[Affiliation: Inazuma. Nekomata Yokai.]
--+--
A feint!
Nothing more!
You thought I was going to feature Fontaine?
No, it's actually Inazuma!
Over in Inazuma, many people's hearts sank with a sudden 'thud'. Caught completely off guard, their faces twisted into masks of anguish.

[No.40]
[Kuki Shinobu]
[Affiliation: Inazuma. Deputy Leader of the Arataki Gang.]
--+--
"Look, Shinobu! You made the list! Ahahahahaha…!" Arataki Itto laughed uproariously, hands on his hips.
Kuki Shinobu genuinely didn't see what was so funny about this. She rolled her eyes.
"What's the Arataki Gang?"
"No idea!"
"I know! I think it's that group of layabouts who really love playing Onikabuto with kids."
"Ah, so they're hoodlums!"
--+--
[No.41]
[Yae Miko]
[Affiliation: Inazuma. Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine. Second Electro Archon's Familiar.]
--+--
"It seems even I cannot escape this, after all…"
Noticing Raiden Ei's gaze upon her, Yae Miko offered a sly, smiling glance. But soon, her smile vanished.
--+--
[No.42]
[Kitsune Saiguu]
[Affiliation: Inazuma. White-Honed Matriarch. Former Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine. First Electro Archon's Familiar.]
--+--
"Lady Saiguu?!"

[No.43]
[Chiyo]
[Affiliation: Inazuma. Chieftain of the Oni Clan. First Electro Archon's Familiar. Inazuma General.]
--+--
"So it's Inazuma's turn to fight the resurrection match now?!"
"I've heard of her… her older sister. A pity she never married, had no children. They say she vanished over five hundred years ago…"
--+--
[No.44]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi]
[Affiliation: Inazuma. Divine Priestess of Watatsumi Island.]
--+--
"I… I'm on the list too…"
The young lady, often compared to an ornamental fish, lifted her right hand, gently forming a fist and pressing it against her chest. A complex, unreadable expression crossed her face.
"Lady Sangonomiya!!"
"My Lady Sangonomiya… You… you must be happy!"
The people of Watatsumi Island were by far the most vocal.
Next.

[No.45]
[Yoimiya]
[Affiliation: Inazuma. Daughter of the Naganohara Fireworks shop. Queen of the Summer Festival.]
--+--
"Big Sister Yoimiya, boo hoo! Big Sister Yoimiya, you didn't escape either?!"
"How awful!"
"My goddess…"
Now it was Narukami Island's turn for sudden cardiac arrest. They were numb, truly and utterly numb!

[Kujou Sara]

[Sayu]
[Affiliation: Inazuma. Shinobi of the Shuumatsuban, serving the Kamisato Clan.]
--+--
"We're almost at fifty!"
"How is she supposed to handle them all?!"
"Even a child this young is included?"
"Um… I think I know her. She's just… not growing any taller. She's actually an adult."
"…"
--+--
[No.48]
[Kamisato Ayaka]
[Affiliation: Inazuma. Eldest Daughter of the Kamisato Clan. The Shirasagi Himegimi.]
--+--
"!!!" Kamisato Ayato clutched his chest, feeling as if his heart had stopped beating entirely.
My sister, oh my sister…
"Brother, please don't be like this…" Kamisato Ayaka sighed.
She herself didn't really have any objections. When faced with an entity on the level of another world's Heavenly Principle, what use were objections anyway?

[Faruzan]
[Affiliation: Sumeru. Researcher at the Akademiya.]

"Hooray! It's finally not us Inazumans anymore!"
"Oh no, it's our Sumeru now!"

[Layla]
[Affiliation: Sumeru. Researcher at the Akademiya.]

"M… me?" Layla, struggling to stay awake, stared blankly for a long moment.

[No.51]
[Nilou]
[Affiliation: Sumeru. Dancer at the Zubayr Theater in the Grand Bazaar.]
--+--
"Big Sister Nilou… Yes! I knew it!"
"The Zubayr Theater is really famous now!"
"It's Big Sister Nilou's origin after all!"
Some wept, others sighed with emotion. Compared to the previous two, Nilou was indeed more widely known, with a large following among the common people.
--+--
[No.52]
[Candace]
[Affiliation: Sumeru. Guardian of Aaru Village in the desert.]
--+--
"Big Sister Candace, look! You're on the list too!"
"..."
Candace looked up at the sky-screen, somewhat surprised. She never thought a girl with plain looks like herself could catch the eye of another world's Heavenly Principle… After all, she knew not everyone could appreciate sun-kissed skin.

[No.53]
[Dori]
[Affiliation: Sumeru. Shady Merchant.]
--+--
"Slander! This is slander!"
Dori stamped her foot in anger.
"I am not a shady merchant!"
The people around her glanced over and collectively took a step back, making her even more miserable.

[No.54]
[Collei]
[Affiliation: Sumeru. Student at the Akademiya. Forest Ranger.]
--+--
This is wonderful…
Amber made it on, and I made it on too…
Wonderful!
Collei's eyes sparkled brightly.
Tighnari looked over at her, feeling a touch of relief.
Well~ whatever works. As long as this child is happy.
Then, the scene shifted.

[No.55]
[Emilie]
[Affiliation: Fontaine. Master Perfumer.]
--+--
"Now we're talking!"
"This style… it's our Fontaine's turn!"
"I can already guess who's next."
"So, not a single Vision holder is going to be spared, is that it?"
Some complained, while others felt utterly numb inside. One could tell this otherworldly Heavenly Principle was quite picky. Those who didn't possess Visions generally wouldn't make the list. This put many people at ease, though some were still disappointed.

[Chevreuse]
[Affiliation: Fontaine. Captain of Maison Gardiennage's Special Security and Surveillance Patrol.]

Several in a row were all Fontaine officials.
The citizens of the other nations also buzzed with discussion. Putting aside everything else, it was nice to see the beauties from other countries too.

[No.59]
[Navia]
[Affiliation: Fontaine. President of the Spina di Rosula.]
--+--
"It's the Young Lady!"
"Heavens, it's the Young Lady!"
"The Young Lady made the list after all!"
"Wahhhhh… The Young Lady is finally getting married. Boss, can you see this?"
"…"
A vein throbbed violently on Navia's forehead.
That's enough out of all of you!
You make it sound like no one's ever been interested in me!
