"Stop right there!"

The former director of the Cleanup Bureau was unaware of his own shift in attitude, perhaps a result of the badge's effect. As he continued to speak more and more nonsensically, even asking Leon if he was considering divorce after learning that he was married, Taurus's board member's face immediately darkened.

"You only have a chance to avoid death now, that doesn't mean you're definitely safe! Hurry back to your Old Soil and stay alive first!"

"I know."

The Cleanup Bureau director wasn't angry at being yelled at. He gave Leon an appreciative look and happily replied:

"Aren't I just trying to be prepared? Just in case we do get an alliance, if I happen to not make it back alive from Old Soil, someone could take care of my great-granddaughter, right?"

"..."

"Haha, forget it, forget it."

Seeing the eyes of Taurus's board member glaring at him, and knowing that if he continued, she might lose her temper, the Cleanup Bureau director quickly gestured that he was leaving. Then, noticing Leon seemed disinterested in his great-granddaughter, he couldn't help but continue to "sell" her:

"My great-granddaughter is a playwright. You two might not hit it off, but her mom is also a Cleaner at the Lion Sub-bureau, and she got a promotion last year. If you have time, you might want to meet her; maybe you'll have more in common. But her mom's mother is..."

"Get lost!"

The Taurus board member flicked her hand as if shooing away a fly, driving off the increasingly off-topic Cleanup Bureau director, then turned to a wryly smiling Leon with some dissatisfaction, advising:

"Don't listen to that old guy's nonsense! Since you're already married, don't think about anything else. We shouldn't do immoral things!"

"Hmm..."

Leon nodded helplessly at her words, then replied with a slightly strained expression:

"The director probably realized he might not die and got a bit too excited, so he got carried away... In any case, I won't take it seriously, nor do I have any intention of messing around."

Huh? You really have no such intention? Not even a little bit?

Watching Leon, who promised sincerely in front of her, Taurus's board member should have felt reassured, but for some reason, she felt something was off and suddenly remembered a certain troublemaking single redhead.

This... With what I just said requiring Leon to be more moral, could I be inadvertently ruining Olivia's lifelong happiness?

"But... I mean, however,"

Secretly crushing two sound-blocking anomalous items to ensure her words wouldn't be overheard by other board members, the Taurus board member, unwilling to see a certain redhead woman grow old alone, betrayed her moral standards for once. Driven by maternal instinct, she cleared her throat, instinctively turned her head, and said:

"If your marriage truly isn't that happy, if you have some thoughts, and slightly consider someone else, as an elder, I can understand..."

"..."

"But forget about Amendo's great-granddaughter. If you really think about it, consider the people around you first, especially those you usually hang out and drink with, preferably with some emotional foundation, like... um... But I'm just saying; we still have to try to be moral people!"

"Yes, yes! Moral! Definitely moral!"

Quickly removing the new badge and stopping the matchmaking effect of "Promising Future," Leon couldn't help but click his tongue at the new badge's effect, which was strong enough to suppress Taurus board member's sense of morality. At the same time, he tried hard to change the topic:

"By the way, Sir Taurus, before I came back, Third Gen told me that Capricorn and the others have almost purified the [Artifacts]. Is that true?"

"That's correct!"

Hearing Leon mention the pieces of [Artifacts], Taurus board member visibly brightened up, and nodded with a smile:

"Although not all is done, the [Legacy] pieces you recovered and most of the [Connections] that the Old King regurgitated have been preliminarily purified. The [Creation] of Omnia Cicada is too complex to handle, but it's estimated to be purified in about half a year."

That is indeed good news.

Hearing this, Leon also smiled, looking quite expectant as he said:

"So, at most half a year later, humans will be able to directly have telepathic communication and memory transfer abilities, and also have a continuous spark of inspiration, right?"

"Uh... That seems a bit difficult..." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"???"

"The main issue is the quantity... Apart from the [Connections] regurgitated by the King of Old Earth being quite substantial, the remaining [Legacy] and [Creation] pieces you recovered are only partial fragments. Spread among everyone, the effects are rather diluted..."

After roughly estimating the effect, Taurus board member uncertainly said:

"The [Legacy] regurgitated by the Crimson Overlord is the least, and the memory transfer will only manifest in the next generation, so its effect is also the weakest.

Given the current situation, it seems that when the next generation of children are born, we still can't have clear direct memory transfer, at most making it easier for these children to 'learn' the knowledge their ancestors had mastered."

"That's already quite good."

Following Taurus board member's words with his imagination, Leon looked fairly satisfied, nodding as he said:

"Although it's not as convenient as direct memory transfer, being able to enhance learning ability is not bad. Accumulating over the years, it will also make the world a better place... By the way."
