"Padma, a thrifty and easygoing mom who just wants to sunbathe, and her daughter Sefalia, who's always dreaming of pulling off a big heist."
As everyone knows, Padma's only wish is to live a life free from want and to bask in the sun with her daughter.
Being particular means being practical, knowing how to manage a household, following your heart, and knowing when to run away when in doubt.
Sefalia was even more unruly, but thankfully her mother's authority kept her from running wild.
But as Saifeier gets older, her personality becomes more and more outspoken, and when she gets into trouble, Pado always has to cover for her.
When Saifeier turned sixteen, the empire conducted a census and screening.
Having learned of the situation, Pado had already run away with Saifeier.
A regular census wouldn't be a problem, but Pado was certain that this was suggested by the leader of the Earth transmigrators, and that the population screening involved a blood collection step.
Having lived in Onphalus for so many years, Paddo had certainly heard of oracle language and the journey to fire.
If the empire found out that their own daughter was a Golden Descendant, they would definitely recruit her into the Fire Chaser Army.
Pado was unwilling to let Saifei do such a dangerous thing.
They were just two ordinary cats, mother and daughter.
After leaving the empire, Paddo and Serfie lived a life of chivalry, wandering the world and robbing the rich to help the poor.
I was planning to go back to Dolores a few days ago.
As a result, upon returning to Dolores, he stumbled upon the obese priest standing on a high platform, spitting as he preached to his followers:
"Under the supreme glory of Kephat, let us be grateful and praise this bountiful world..."
"Uphold integrity, adhere to honesty, and always be forgiving..."
Let us nourish our souls with virtue and transform calamity with love...
"Money and possessions are worthless to the Titans, but they serve as proof of your piety..."
Amid the fervent cheers of the believers, fine silks, delicacies, gold and silver jewels were thrown onto the high platform like offerings, piling up into a dazzling mountain of gold.
Saifei sighed, "So much time has passed, and Dolores is still the same."
So, the Cat's Eye sisters set out.
They took everything from the temple, leaving no trace of the pious evidence.
"However, those bastards exaggerated the amount stolen by two times on the wanted poster, clearly trying to use our name to cover up their own mess. How despicable!"
Carrying her spoils, Saifei walked backwards down the road, her fingers deftly twirling a gold badge she had picked up.
"Mom, do you think we should just follow the trail and buy our goods from that priest's house?"
Over the course of more than a decade, Sai Fei'er had long since noticed her mother's unusual behavior.
For over a decade, he has remained unchanged, never aging, running faster than an arrow, and possessing incredibly good luck!
When she was little, her mother taught her a trick.
"Keep your head down when you walk, and you're sure to find money."
"Spend more time with cats; you're bound to discover something good!"
Unfortunately, she didn't have her mother's good fortune of finding money while walking.
"Huh? Oh, going to the priest's house? Sure, sure."
Pado seemed to have just come to her senses, blinked her heterochromatic eyes, and casually replied.
"Mom, were you spacing out just now? What were you thinking about?"
Saifeier moved closer to her mother, who looked to be about the same age as her.
"During the priest's sermon, he said not to listen to the delusions of those Golden Children, but to believe in Kephall. He said that as long as we pray sincerely, the gods will send down salvation... Fei'er, do you believe in the prophecy of Chasing Fire?"
Paddo is not a cat with lofty ambitions, but she has witnessed the Black Tide firsthand, and has seen the destruction of city-states and the homeless refugees caused by the Black Tide.
If the end of the world really comes, where should she and Fei'er, those two little cats, escape to?
"If it were a few years ago, Saifei would have answered without hesitation."
"Hmph, what fire-chasing, what hero? Judging from Sefalia's experience, there must be something fishy going on!"
"The Golden Descendants are nothing but fame-seeking fraudsters."
But then I thought about what I had experienced in the holy city of Ohma.
Believe it or not.
Saifeier shrugged, with a touch of Patto's languidness and clarity.
"What does this have to do with us two petty thieves? If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. We just need to live our lives well, pick up what we should pick up, and help those we should help."
She nudged Paddo affectionately with her shoulder.
"Right, Mom?"
"That's true."
"So, what should we have for lunch? I'm starving!"
"Lunch...lunch...wait!?"
The mother and daughter returned to their residence while chatting, only to find two uninvited guests when they opened the door.
"Meow—?"
Paddy's eyes widened, and she almost bristled.
Two unexpected figures stood calmly in their simple hall.
A woman with fiery red hair, playful and lively, with a smile as warm as sunshine.
A woman with cascading blonde hair, elegant and composed, her fingertips seemingly still shimmering with the soft light of fabric.
The Saintess Tibo of Janusapolis, known to all in the empire, and Aglaia, the renowned alteration master of Ohma, also known as "Golden Weave".
Hello! I apologize for the intrusion.
Tibo greeted them with a smile and a polite, clear voice.
"We meet again, you little glutton."
Aglaia's gaze fell gently on Sefalia.
PS:
Volume 1: Chapter 893 Aglaia: Saifeier, don't you miss your mother either?
"Seamstress, how did you get here?"
When Saifei saw the blond figure appear in her slightly old but cozy little house, her eyes widened instantly.
"I need to talk to you about something. This must be your mother. Hello, Ms. Patricia."
Aglaia moved with elegance, smiling and nodding in greeting.
"Haha, you know me?"
Feeling flustered as Pado was stared at by those unfocused, seemingly empty eyes that seemed to see right through her soul, she forced a professional smile.
These two are renowned figures within the empire, known as the "Moths of Fire."
And why didn't this Miss Kanori look at me with even the slightest surprise?
It's worth noting that Pado and her daughter have recently been making their way in the world, truly embracing their sisterly relationship.
After all, Phyllis's body is quite special.
Onfaros is home to races with long lifespans, but the Phyllis are not among them.
Moreover, this body is no longer just a simple immortal being.
There isn't even a trace of time on it.
Pado suspected that in a couple of years, if she stood next to Fei'er, people would definitely think she was the younger sister.
Every time she introduces her mother-daughter relationship to outsiders, their faces are filled with surprise and astonishment.
To avoid attracting attention and causing trouble, Pado has recently started introducing them to outsiders as sisters.
Were they looking for me?
Has the time traveler's identity been exposed?
Or are they eyeing Fei'er's golden bloodline? Planning to win her over?
Neither of these sounds like good news!
The cat felt very uncertain and became alert.
"Sefaria mentioned you to me."
Aglaia's smile was gentle.
"Eh?"
Pado raised an eyebrow and glanced at her daughter.
"Girl, you two know each other?"
"Mother."
Saifeier casually slumped into her familiar old rocking chair, stretched comfortably, and spoke with a touch of nonchalance and indifference.
"She's the one I mentioned to you before, the one I met in the holy city of Ohma... well, let's just call her a friend."
The year 3960 in the Guangli calendar was a year etched in the memories of all Onphalus people.
The blazing sun of Onphalus has left the sky, forever.
While Sora is asleep, as a substitute, Xiaodie can take his place as the pilot of Dyna Tyrannosaurus Rex, combining and transforming into Dyna Zeon to fight.
As a super mecha in the electronic world, DynaZeon was quite effective in repelling the Black Tide, which was suspected to be a virus. It even pushed back the Black Tide front line when Sora awoke.
This greatly slowed down the spread of the Kuroshio Current.
Vilvi discovered that the Black Tide seemed to be evolving, like an AI learning deep learning process, gradually adapting to Dyna Zeon's attacks and developing targeted defenses.
The battle lines were eventually pushed back.
The Kuroshio Current swept in.
Whether it was the small countries where Tirispeius had previously led his expedition, they all believed that the pursuit of fire was a lie, a scheme by Caesar to annex their kings and nobles without bloodshed, or the officials vying for power within their own countries.
Even those who scoffed at the apocalypse and never trusted anyone had their eyes clear the moment they saw the black tide sweeping across the sky.
The sky was covered by a black tide, and the earth trembled.
Even the Fusion Goddess Seneos, who has been fighting the Black Tide on the front lines, has been affected and is showing signs of being corrupted by the Black Tide.
The most devastating thing was that the sun had left.
The Sun of Onpharos is indeed related to Aegler, or more precisely, to the Titan of the Sky, but it is not a real star.
The god of the sky has a certain degree of control.
The disappearance of the sun is related to the fusion goddess Seneos being corrupted by the Black Tide.
The entire Onphalus was plunged into complete darkness.
Only in the holy city of Ohma, where the dawn machine carried by Kephar illuminates the darkness, does the city become the only island of light.
That year, Paddo and Serfie were within the Empire.
As the eternal night descended, fear gripped the hearts of the people.
Hearing that there was still light in the holy city, the mother and daughter, like many others, embarked on a journey to Ohmma.
The holy city was expanded under Caesar's orders, welcoming people from all directions.
Saint Tirispius used the Gate of a Hundred Worlds and the Gate of Anywhere to proclaim this to the entire continent.
There is no need to panic. His Majesty Caesar will lead the imperial army to reclaim the light!
Although the sun did not return, the empire miraculously regained its light, a fact that Saifei did not know how it was accomplished.
At that time, she and her mother witnessed the legend of the Golden Sons in Ohma, the capital of the empire, with its perfect laws, where Caesar's radiance shone on those cramped and filthy corners.
Saifeier had to admit that it was completely different from the thief city of Dolos where she grew up.
