Thion 3XQ: Journey [ON HOLD]

The five girls stood outside the Captain’s office. They were here to inform Jihyo about their recent discovery, Tzuyu had insisted on doing it alone but Sana insisted that they should all come along for support. There were many things running through Tzuyu’s mind. They would probably have to go  and inform the Queen yet again, because there was only so much Jihyo could do. And she didn’t want to have to go through that again. A big part of her had a feeling that the Queen would reject them again, but then there was another part that thought that there was no way the Queen would refuse after reading the journal. Something had to be done. 

Of course the contents of the journal could be false like Nayeon suggested, but Tzuyu had a feeling it wasn’t. They weren’t sure how old the journal was but if they were to find one of the relics, then that would mean that something bad was going to happen soon. Therefore, they needed the queen’s authority to find the relic. Like the journal mentioned, one of the relics is located on Zanerth, if they could perhaps find that one first then that would mean that the journal is true. But they didn’t know where to start looking first. Thus, they decided to inform the Captain first then the queen. They also wanted to speak to the princess because Sana is convinced that she knows more than she’s letting on. 

Elkie was the one to knock on the door, after Tzuyu had been spacing out a little. Jihyo told them to enter and so they all came barreling in. 

“Oh, what brings all you girls in here today?” Jihyo was sitting at her desk, with papers in hand as she usually did. As Captain of the Vesta Base she had a lot of responsibilities. This time she was overseeing an upcoming mission for another team. 

“Captain, we need to show you something” Sana said, holding the journal in her hands. 

“Yes?” Jihyo said as she continued writing something on the paper. 

“We have this journal here, and we think you should read it. It talks about how something will happen on the third of March of next year. We don’t know what exactly but Klanta’s planning something and we need to find the relics” 

“Oh really?” Jihyo asked, seemingly uninterested. 

Tzuyu cleared her throat after seeing Jihyo’s reaction. “Princess Jisun gave us this book”

Jihyo looked up at the mention of the word “princess”. Her eyes scanned the book in Sana’s hands. She motioned for her to bring it over. That’s when they showed and explained to her about what the journal stated. Jihyo didn't know what to make of it either, it could’ve all been fake but she had to admit she was curious about it as well. Especially when she saw that Klanta was planning something, he was not one to be messed with. 

“Why would the princess give you this?” Jihyo asked. She knows that out of the two, Jisun was the smarter one. So there’s no way that she would just give a book like this to some strangers. 

“We’re not sure, but we’d like to speak with her again and see if she knows anything about this”

Jihyo had an unreadable expression on her face. “Well okay, I don’t see the harm in asking. I’ll call Dami and let her see if she can set up a meeting with the princess” 

“Wait, really?” Momo chriped. Tzuyu thought the Captain would be more skeptical about it all but it was surprisingly easy. She’d hope the queen would have a similar reaction but deep down even she knew that was a stretch. 

“Yeah, it shouldn’t be too hard. I’m sure she’ll agree to meet her future sister in law” Jihyo teased. Elkie snorted, while the rest just chuckled awkwardly, especially Tzuyu who held Sana’s pinkie in her finger. 

“So we’re all set?” Jeongyeon asked, trying to change the topic. “The sooner we get to speak with her the better?”

“That reminds me, I’m a bit busy this week so I can’t take you guys to the palace. However, I know someone who can” Jihyo announced. Her schedule was full and as much as she wanted to know more about the journal, she had to finish her duties here at the base. 

“Who?” Elkie asked. 

“I’ll arrange for Lisa to take you guys there” 

“What?” Tzuyu asked in annoyance. “We don’t need her to take us. I remember the route just fine and Sana can drive us there” 

Jihyo shook her head. “She’s been to the palace before and Dami knows her quite well so it would be best if she took you guys there”

“But-” 

Jihyo gave her a stern look and Tzuyu knew better than to go against the Captain. She’d just have to suck it up for now. “Okay, Captain”. 

-

Later that day, Jihyo informed them that she had successfully arranged the meeting and had also notified Lisa about it. They all agreed for only Tzuyu and Sana to go and for the rest to stay at the base to brainstorm ideas about where to find the relic in Zanerth. The meeting wouldn’t take long and it was only the princesses they were meeting. 

Tzuyu wasn’t happy with the situation at all. She was currently in the passenger seat with Lisa in the driver seat, listening to her talk to Sana, who was in the backseat, on and on about her greatest missions and victories. When they were about to get into the car, Tzuyu had shoved Sana and jumped into the passenger's seat, much to Lisa’s dismay since she wanted it to be Sana instead of the younger girl. But Tzuyu wasn’t going to sit at the back and watch Lisa try to sweet talk her Sana right in front of her. 

Luckily, Jihyo has told Lisa to use one of the newer hover cars since those were much faster. After a while Sana had dozed off. 

“She’s even cuter when she’s asleep” Lisa said with a smirk as she looked at the sleeping girl through the rear view mirror. Tzuyu was dozing off as well until she heard what Lisa said. She looked at the girl who had a smirk on her face then turned to look at Sana. And it was true, she’d seen Sana’s sleeping face a few times already so she was well aware of how cute she was. 

“She’d look even better waking up in my bed” Lisa had her eyes on the road but that smug look never left her face. 

Tzuyu’s never been much of a jealous person but Lisa just gets under her skin sometimes. She did feel better knowing that she was the one who would wake up to Sana in her bed, next to her. “Yeah well could luck with that” Tzuyu muttered as she looked out the window. 

“Wanna make a bet to see who can get her first?” 

Tzuyu looked at her with disgust. “She’s right back there you know? And what the hell is wrong with you, she’s not an object. Don’t talk about her like that” 

“Oh lighten up Chou” Lisa giggled, she could see Tzuyu was getting upset, which she found amusing. “It’s just a joke, I’m just bored. Why are you guys even going to meet the princess? Jihyo didn’t tell any details” 

“It’s none of your business” Tzuyu grumbled. 

“I think as a Commander I should know” 

“You’re not a Commander” 

Lisa smirked. “Not yet, but soon. Jihyo already brought up the idea of giving me the position. Isn’t that great? I’ll even put in a good for you so you can be a part of my team” 

Tzuyu rolled her eyes. “I’d never” She hated to admit but Lisa was at the top of her ranks as an SGT so it would make sense if was a contender to be a commander but it hurt to think that Lisa was more than likely Saerom’s replacement. 

“Never say never” Lisa said smugly. Tzuyu was about to retort but Sana had woken up and asked if they were there yet. To which Lisa answered ‘almost’. 

“What were you guys talking about?” 

“Nothing important” Tzuyu answered. 

The ride continued with Lisa talking on and on about herself and Tzuyu thought she was going to lose her mind. While Sana seemed to be listening but she was only doing so as to not be rude. Lisa had only ever been nice to her so she didn’t want to be rude to the girl. 

Eventually they finally arrived at the estate and palace, the guards and Dami were already waiting for them. She made small talk with them and escorted them inside, to wait for the princesses.  

The three girls all stood up and bowed when the princess entered the room. Dami had informed them that the Queen was busy with other matters as well as the King. 

When Mia heard Tzuyu was coming to the palace for a meeting she was excited. She told her maids to bring her something extra nice to wear. She couldn’t help but think that Tzuyu had dropped the orange hair girl and that she came back for her. It was only when she saw Sana, that she was met with disappointment yet again. Nonetheless, she was still happy to see Tzuyu. 

“So what brings you here? Dami told me you’d like to speak to me” Jisun asked. 

“Yes Princess, we’d like to ask you a few questions about... “ Tzuyu looked around the room and saw them all listening intently at her. “..about the book..” 

Jisun seemed to realize what was happening.  “Guards, please leave us for a minute” She ordered. “You as well, Dami. Please accompany Ms. Manoban and give her some tea while she waits” Lisa didn’t like feeling excluded but she’d never go against any member of the royal family. Dami as well didn’t want to leave the princess alone, it's not like she didn’t trust Tzuyu or Sana but because if something were to happen to them the Queen would lose it. 

“But princess-” 

“That's an order” Dami could see Jisun’s pleading eyes. “Just give us five minutes, please” 

“Okay” 

“It won’t take long, I’ll scream if needed” Jisun tried to assure her and she simply nodded and ordered the guards to leave the room. 

“Mia, you too”

“No, I’m staying” Mia had no idea what was going on or why they wanted to talk only to Jisun alone. Jisun turned to look at her sister. “Very well” Truthfully, she was glad her sister had stayed. 

“Why didn’t you tell us about this?” Sana asked after everyone left. 

“I told you, I never got past the first few pages” 

“Liar” Sana said. 

“What?” Mia became defensive. “How dare you speak to a princess like that?” Not only was she not too keen on having Sana around, she also did not like the way the girl was speaking to her little sister. 

“Sister please” Jisun held her arm. She gave her a look which made Mia retract her stance. “How do you even believe anything that’s in the book?”

“We don’t know if it’s true or not but if you knew what the journal was about so why didn’t you say anything? Why didn't you tell your mother?”

“You’ve seen firsthand how stubborn my mother can be. What makes you think she would listen to me?” Jisun scoffed. “She’s always been like that. That’s why when you brought up the idea of saving your friend,I thought about it and I saw the perfect opportunity” 

“What makes you think we could convince her? If her own children can’t?” 

“I don’t know. I thought maybe she could listen to the hero”

Sana noticed Tzuyu’s frown after Jisun had said that. She rubbed her arm earning a small smile from the younger girl. 

“Our mother has never been one to listen to us. She’s always done what she thinks is best, not only for us but for everyone else” Mia spoke. She was still clueless about what exactly they were all talking about, but she knew for sure that whatever it was about, their mother wouldn’t listen. 

“What if we bring the relic here? What if we somehow manage to find one of the relics and bring it here and show her? Then she has to do something about it right?” Tzuyu was sure of this. 

Jisun stared at her, lost in thought. After a moment she said “Perhaps.. If you can find the relic and bring it here that may convince her to do something” 

“The journal says when all four relics come together a portal will open, and when you enter you must ask for Vyarin..” Sana said. “Do you know who that is?”

“No” 

“Okay what is going on? What are you all talking about?” Mia had enough. Tzuyu then gave her a basic rundown of what was happening. “Okay… well do you even know where the relic is?” 

“Well according to the book, its somewhere on Zanerth which means it could literally be anywhere, we don’t even know where to start. We don’t even know who’s journal this is” 

“That’s why we came to you, to ask for your help” Tzuyu said. “You said you found it in your library, but how.. How was a book like this doing just sitting in the library?” 

“The library has tons of books that are who knows how old? The palace has been here for centuries, so presumably the library has been here as well”

“Where do all the books come from? Like, where did the library get all those books?” 

“I’m not sure, but I guess they’ve been here a while..” Mia said. “Can I see the book?” 

Sana nodded and handed it to her. She held the book in her hand and examined the cover, then she opened the journal and flipped through some pages. While the other three discussed the contents of the journal. After a few minutes, they heard a knock on the door, it was Dami asking if the princesses were already. Jisun told her to give them a few more minutes, Dami hesitated to but eventually said okay. That's when they heard Mia mumble “MKB” 

“What was that Mia?” Tzuyu asked. Both Jisun and Sana looked at the tall girl in surprise. How close were they that Tzuyu could simply call her by her first name? Tzuyu seemed to notice and sheepishly said “I mean-Princess..” Sana decided just to ignore that for now. Whilst Mia had a faint smile on her face. 

“MKB”

“What is that?” 

Mia brought the book closer to them and showed them the edges of the paper. “If you look at each page there’s an initial on each fourth page, and if you put it together it says MKB”

“Oh way to go Princess Mia” Tzuyu praised which made the princess blush. 

Quickly changing the topic, Sana asked “So you’re saying it could be the person’s initials?” 

“But that could mean anything right? What if it’s not even initials, but something else?” Jisun replied. 

Tzuyu thought for a bit, “Maybe... Do any of you recognize those initials?” 

“That can be anyone’s initials” 

“Okay but let’s think about this, the journal was in the palace specifically the library. The library and these books have probably been here for hundreds if not thousands of years.. Maybe it belonged to someone living here?” Sana said. 

“Yeah, that makes sense. There’s some books on-”

“I’m sorry Princess, but it’s been too long. You know what your mother wouldn’t like you being alone for so long” Only eleven minutes had pass but that was too much time without their guards. 

“Yes we’re done. Can you please escort them to the library? They merely want to borrow some books” Jisun said. There, they could look through some book of all the people that lived in the palace.  

“Okay, but I’ll have some guards accompany them as well” Dami said. 

“That’s fine” Jisun turned to the two girls and said “If you’ll excuse us”. Both girls bowed as the two Princesses left. They seemed to have caught on to what Jisun was implying. Dami then led the two towards the library. 

Calling the library big would be an understatement, it was massive. Sana thinks there might’ve been a million books. They searched for about an hour to try and find the history of the palace but it was not until Dami came and asked what it was they were looking for. Tzuyu asked her if there were any books on the history of the palace. In about half an hour Dami managed to find some books. Tzuyu didn’t really tell her the exact reasons why they were looking for it and Dami didn’t ask either. She somehow felt she could trust the tall girl, if Jihyo trusted her then that was enough for her. Still, she had guards follow them around which made Sana very uncomfortable. 

The two sat in silence, flipping through the books to see if they could find anything. After what seemed like an hour, Tzuyu heard Sana call for her. 

“Huh? Did you find something?” 

“Look” Sana showed her a passage that listed all the people who worked for Queen Yubin and King Jeonghyuck at that time. The era that Queen Yubin had reigned was thousands of years ago, she was the seventh queen of Zanerth. Currently, Siyeon is the 432th Queen. 

“Him” Sana pointed to a particular name. 

“Moonkim Baozhai” Tzuyu read it out. “You think that’s him?” 

Sana nodded. “It spells his initials out, right?” 

Tzuyu read the passage again, it said that Moonkim Baozhai was a peasant that worked in the stables. There was another person in that list with the same name, Ahri Baozhai, one of the queen’s personal maids. They were mostly likely husband and wife, Tzuyu thought. 

“Hmm you’re right” 

“Well now what?” 

Tzuyu thought about it. The journal said that the third relic was here on Zanerth. “... the third is here with me, I’ll take it back to Zanerth… I’ve found one of the relics and I’ve kept it here with me in a safe place, a place he will never find..” But what could that mean?

“Maybe he meant it literally that he kept it with him” Tzuyu joked.  

“No that could make sense, what he literally kept it with him, like even until death..?”

“Sana, I was joking” 

“No, think about it”

“So you’re saying it could've been buried with him?” 

“It’s a long shot but maybe?” Sana suggested. 

“Well it’s worth a shot” Tzuyu smiled. The two then informed Dami that they were done. They also told her that they wished to bid farewell to princesses. After a few minutes both Mia and Jisun walked in and both girls bowed yet again. 

“Thank you for being so kind and letting us use your library” Tzuyu said. She couldn’t openly say what they had found or what they were going to do; the plan they had devised. Tzuyu walked up to them and kneeled and held out her hand. Jisun seemed to have caught on to what she was doing and placed her hand on Tzuyu’s palm, to which she kissed. To anyone else it would seem that she was showing respect, but Tzuyu had secretly slipped a piece of paper into Jisun’s palm. All she wrote was ‘Moonkim Baozhai- going to the grave’. She also kissed Mia’s hand to not seem suspicious. Mia was dying of happiness inside, she couldn't help but blush. She gave Sana a smug look after Tzuyu had stood to which Sana just shook her head. If only you knew. 

Dami then escorted them back to where Lisa was sitting and waiting for them. “Took you long enough” she huffed. Sana apologized for the long wait to which Lisa replied “Oh it’s okay, I’d wait however long for you” she winked, which made Tzuyu roll her eyes. “Besides, the pretty guard over there took me to see some of the rooms” 

“Yeah whatever, can we go now?”

Lisa nodded and they all started walking towards the car before Dami called out for Tzuyu and Sana, the two ran back to where the older woman was. Dami told them that the princess wanted to give her something. Then the princesses walked in again. 

“Here, this might be useful” Jisun handed Sana a device that resembled a joystick. 

“What is this?” 

“It’s a teleportation device that'll allow you to go to any location you want, here in Zanerth. It only allows three people at a time though” Jisun explained.

 “All you have to do is think of the place and it’ll take you there, similarly to the room we had our date in Tzuyu” Mia grinned. 

“O-okay” Tzuyu scratched her nape. “Wait, but if you have a device like this, how come you’ve never used it on yourselves? You know, to like leave the palace and go out and see the world on your own?”

“Our mother is..” Jisun started, “scary” and Mia finished. No matter how much they tried, they were deeply afraid of their mother. They once again bid them farewell again and watched them drive off. 

“What did you give them?” Dami asked. 

“Nothing important” Jisun said before walking in. 

The caride back to the base was just as annoying. Lisa kept asking what they were doing and why’d it take so long. However, Sana distracted her by asking her about the rooms. So once again, the ride back was just Lisa talking about herself. 

-

When they arrived back at the base, Tzuyu and Sana went straight towards the tent where the other girls were. Momo was on her phone, laying on the bed on her stomach. Nayeon was also on her phone laying on the bed, with Jeongyeon’s head on her stomach, she was playing a game on Tzuyu’s console. 

“Oh they’re back” Momo announced. 

“Where’s Elkie?” Tzuyu asked. 

“Out. Getting food” Nayeon answered. “And speak of the devil” Jeongyeon said as Elkie walked in with bags of food. 

“Oh you’re both back” Elkie said as she set the food on the table. The other girls crowded around the table, they were starving. 

“Aren’t you guys curious about what we found out?” Tzuyu asked. The girls all nodded but they were more invested in the food in front of them. Even Sana took a plate and started digging it. “Tzuyu, babe. Eat first and talk later” Elkie said with her mouth stuffed. Tzuyu sighed but joined them around the table. 

After their stomachs were full, Tzuyu and Sana told them what they had discovered. They told them about Moonkim Baozhai and how they think he’s the owner of the journal and how he may have taken the relic with him to the grave. Tzuyu then stood up and pulled the joystick from her jacket. “Alright time to go” 

Sana also stood up and stood next to the taller girl. 

“Where are you going?” Jeongyeon asked. 

“The sooner we find the relic the better. We’re going to head to the Mortem Pax and see if we can find Baozhai’s grave” Tzuyu wiggled the joystick in her hands. “This will make things much faster and easier for us” 

“I’ll go with” Momo volunteered, while the others agreed to stay put. 

The three of them all held hands while Tzuyu thought of the Mortem Pax located here in the city of Vlale. She then pressed the button and pushed the stick forward. In a flash they were gone and when they opened their eyes they were right in front of the building.

“Woah this thing really works” Tzuyu said amazed as she stared at the joystick. 

“Yeah but it makes me a bit dizzy” Sana said. While Momo was on her knees trying not to throw up. After both girls had recovered, the trio then walked into the building. The Mortem Pax was a place where the dead would go to be ‘buried’. The tall building resembled an hourglass, inside was filled with massive shelves of LED tombstones, small enough to fit a body. Inside was cold and eerie. 

They walked around in between shelves to go to the section ‘B’. There were many sections filled with people in the B section. It would take them a while to go through them all. “Maybe we should ask the helper” Momo suggested. They all agreed and started walking back towards the entrance. 

As they were walking back, Sana noticed Tzuyu had stopped walking and was staring at something. 

“What is it?” she asked, but Tzuyu’s gaze never left the grave she was looking at. There Sana read ‘Here lies, Zhang Chou’. But before Sana could ask, Tzuyu answered “It’s my mother” 

“Tzuyu..” 

“I haven't had the time to come around lately, I’m sorry Mom” Tzuyu had been so busy with her exams and training at the base that she hadn’t visited her mother’s grave in the past couple of months. Sana slid her hand to hold Tzuyu's, earning a small smile from the taller girl. She then placed her other hand on the screen and virtual flowers appeared. Tzuyu seemes touched by the action, her eyes now beginning to get teary. “”Sana I-”

Sana cut her off by giving her a hug. “Your mom would've been proud of you”. Though Tzuyu did disagree with that, she still gave her a small thanks. She looked to her left and there she saw her father. ‘Here lies, Bolin Chou’. Tzuyu frowned and sighed. She harbored hate for him all her life and even now she couldn’t bring herself to care about him all that much, but regardless, she would still give him flowers from time to time. She placed her palm on the screen and the virtual flowers appeared. 

“Guys, come on” They both heard Momo shout. 

Sana looked at Tzuyu and gave her hand a small squeeze as she began walking towards where Momo was. Tzuyu looked back one more time at her parent’s grave and walked away. 

“Have you asked her about Baozhai?” Sana asked Momo as she looked at the hologram. The helper was a hologram that resembled a woman, used to help you find anybody you were looking for inside the Mortem Pax. 

“I’ve tried, but she said there’s no one here with that name” 

“Let me try” Tzuyu said. 

“Hello, we’re looking for a Moonkim Baozhai” 

The hologram began computing. “I am sorry, but there is no one here by that name. Please refer to another name! Thank you” 

“Damn” Tzuyu muttered. 

“Well not what?” 

“I guess we need to check the other three Mortem Pax in the other cities” Sana said. Luckily, they had the joystick which means it would save them a lot of time in traveling. There were four major cities in all of Zaneth. As well as only four continents. The cities of Vlale, Zila, Irieta and Kroset. 

Using the joystick and the helper they searched all the other Mortem Pax but none of them contained anyone with the name Moonkim Baozhai.

“Well that was a bust” Momo said as she slumped on the ground. Tzuyu sat beside her and sighed.

“There’s something we’re missing here” Sana was pacing back and forth. “That’s it! We’ve been looking in the wrong places”

“What do you mean?”

“Momo, remember in one of classes we learnt about where people ages ago used to bury the dead”

“You mean in the ground?” Momo stood up, now seeing where Sana was going with this. 

“Yes! There’s an old burial site on the outskirts of the city, near the forest. Maybe we can find his grave there?” 

“Woah wait really? You know exactly where it is?” Tzuyu thought Sana’s big brain made her even more attractive than she already was. 

“Yes, we should go right now” They all held hands once again and were teleported near the dead forest. There were many trees and bushes around, it didn’t resemble any of the cemeteries that Sana had recalled. Though there were some tombstones sticking out of the ground, most were almost submerged underground and some were already fully covered. 

“Wow it looks.. different from what I remember” 

“You’ve been here before?” Tzuyu asked as she walked around. 

“Not exactly, I’ve seen pictures” 

“Well, let’s get to searching before it gets dark soon” Momo suggested. The trio decided to split up so that it’s be faster. 

After about an hour and a half of searching, the sun was setting fast and they still didn’t find anything.Tzuyu was starting to get impatient. She was frustratingly walking when she suddenly tripped on something. 

“Ah fuck” She winced. She looked at what she tripped at was a tombstone that was almost fully submerged. She read the last few letters of it. “Ai..Ai..Ai- Zhai- Baozhai!” She quickly got up and started digging up some of the dirt with her bare hands. She managed to dig far enough for it to read Kim Zhai. 

“Guys I found it! I think I found it!” Tzuyu yelled. After a few minutes, Momo and Sana came running. 

“Oh my god”

“We need to start digging,” Tzuyu said as she fetched the joystick out of her jacket. “I’ll go get some shovels from the base and bring them here” 

“I’ll go with” Sana said. Tzuyu teleported them both to the base’s storage room where she grabbed two shovels and flashlights. She gave one for Sana to hold and the other one she held in her hand, she then quickly teleported them back. Upon arriving where Momo was, Sana almost tripped and the head of the shovel collided with her head. She yelped as she almost fell backwards before Tzuyu caught her. She gently lowered Sana on the ground. “Careful, are you okay? How’s your forehead?” Tzuyu pushed her hair out of the way to inspect her forehead. 

“Tzuyu, I’m fine” Sana breathed out but held her head. It was slightly red from the hard metal. 

Tzuyu frowned and kissed her injury. “Now you will be” She smiled as Sana’s cheeks turned to a shade of pink. 

Momo cleared her throat “I’m right here” 

“R-right” Tzuyu quickly got up and handed Momo a shovel. They began digging through the ground and about forty five minutes in they could already see the tombstone in clear view. Both girls were now sweating and panting. 

“I don’t know how I feel about digging an old dead guy’s grave” Momo said. But Tzuyu just shrugged and began digging again. After about an hour of digging they finally hit something hard. “I think we got it” Tzuyu jumped into the whole along with the shovel. She removed some of the dirt on the wooden casket. Using the shovel she broke the lock and opened the casket. It was dark so she couldn't see that well. There was a mound of dirt and as much as she felt this was incredibly disrespectful she had to wipe away some of the dirt. Running her hands along the casket is when she felt something hard. She grabbed it and told Momo and Sana to help her up which they did. 

“So what was in there?” Momo asked. 

“I don’t know but all I found was this” Inside her hand she held a small black square shaped box. Sana flashed the box because she couldn’t see it well and there it was, the box contained a small green opal stone right in the middle. 

“Oh my god. Could this be it?” The journal didn’t state how exactly the relics would look like but they assumed this must be it. Tzuyu had doubts about it though because this has been a bit too easy. The journal said it was a safe place Klanta would never find but was it really safe? She decided to push those thoughts aside. She was happy that they did find something. 

“We found it” Momo cheered. “That has to be it! Right?” 

“Oh my god Sana you’re a genius! I could just kiss you right now” Tzuyu exclaimed. 

“Well why dont you?”

Tzuyu became flustered. “Ah-oh-I-I” 

“I could kiss both of you” Momo said as grabbed both of them by the neck and gave them each a kiss on the cheek. Tzuyu wiped the kiss away with her sleeve then looked at Sana who was doing the same. Tzuyu surprised Sana by also giving her a small kiss on the cheek. “Nice going, Sana” she smiled.
