Kahglia didn't waste any time. As soon as Toz and the cats gathered in one place, she retrieved something from her storage bag.
Asilean's eyes shot up as soon as he saw the fist-sized crystalline fruit that was like a condensation of pure white starlight.
"This…!"
Kahglia nodded.
"The merchants we got it from said it was a starlight fruit. They claimed to be the only ones capable of stocking and sourcing it. It can act as an ordinary starlight crystal, but people with an affinity for starlight can consume it to boost their mana. People are also experimenting with it as an ingredient for various things."
"It has to be Taienra."
Toz appeared calm as he spoke. But he was far from it. He didn't even want to imagine the implications of the fruit's existence and sale.
The cats looked at the fruit with sharp and tense gazes.
Kahglia nodded.
