Fragment Chapter: The Birth of the Spirit “……Ha! Ha!” In a small settlement in the mountains, inside a flower garden, there was a young girl struggling khổng lồ keep her hands extended forward. She was a young girl about seven years of age with pale blonde hair and deep sea-blue eyes. Though her hair still had a lack of pigmentation, her cheeks on the other hand had been struck with a bright red hue as beads of perspiration fell down from her forehead. It wasn’t clear if this was caused by exerting all of her strength into her whole body toàn thân just now. It looked just like a swollen punk face that would break out in inflammation at any moment. “That──is─ to say. Even if you exert all this effort it won’t work. Calm your mind down more; it’s similar to lớn feeling of a gentle touch.” Looking at the state of the girl, the boy beside her gave out a vigorous sigh while shrugging his shoulders. “Look here.” As the young boy said so, he suddenly narrowed his eyes & stretched out a finger. Then, right at the next moment, a sparkling radiance gradually built up và rose from the surrounding flowers, slowly moving towards the direction pointed by the boy’s finger. “Wow……” After staring at such a spectacular scene, the young girl wrinkled her brows as her entire body began khổng lồ shake. “Fumumumumumumu……!” “No, that’s why.” Looking on at the girl who showed no signs of improvement, the boy half opened his eyes. At that time, a voice coming from behind them was calling out the names of the two of them. “──Ellen, Elliot, are you guys here?” “Hmm?” “Puha……” The boy──Elliot turned his head around. The girl──Ellen stopped trying to lớn choke on her own breath. Turning around at a first glance, the figure of a thin boy emerged from there. It was a young boy who was characterized by dull ash-blond hair. His age should be one year younger than Elliot, who was around ten years old. However, if one didn’t know any better, it could be said that he exuded a cunning and mature atmosphere. “Ike!” Seeing his figure approach, Ellen’s expression gleamed up. The boy who was called Ike approached the two of them with a soft smile. “Have the two of you been practicing in this place again?” “It can’t be helped. Ellen here can’t succeed in anything. Even though Karen is so talented, why is there such a large gap between sisters?” As Elliot exclaimed in a disappointed tone, tears began to lớn come out of Ellen’s eyes as she started sobbing. “……To say such a thing, it’s not lượt thích I can’t vày it because I want to……” “Ah really, don’t cry! Sorry, sorry, that was my bad!” As Elliot apologized, Ellen wiped her eyes of tears with her hand as her nose sniffled. Then, Ike gently stroked Ellen’s head. “No worries, Ellen. I’ll also help, so let’s go khổng lồ the practice ground. Hey Elliot, wouldn’t making mana so visible cause the teacher khổng lồ get angry at you again?” Hearing what Ike had said, Elliot sighed as he folded his arms. “Hehe. Everyone, even the adults are all cowards. Even though there’s obviously no person that I know who would want to come lớn such a remote place like this.” “Well, don’t say it lượt thích that. It can’t be helped. In the teacher’s generation, the persecution of magicians was particularly violent.” As Ike spoke out with a bitter smile, Elliot once again gave a heavy sigh. ──“Magicians” (Magus) That’s right. In this world, people called by that name existed. They sometimes were held outside the boundary of thoughts from ordinary people, sometimes known as shamans, fortune tellers, pharmacists, and witches. Even so, it wasn’t the same as the magic from a fairy tale, where simply waving a magical stick would suffice to produce some desirable event. Magic is a discipline to lớn train one to lớn capture the sight that ordinary people cannot see, touch the basic essence beyond the grasp of ordinary people. It is an academic discipline khổng lồ enhance one’s abilities: a cultural system. Và people like Elliot were blood relatives of the descendants that inherited the culture of such magicians. “Even so, how come they have to lớn so afraid? It’s not to lượt thích the teachers will be beaten if they quarreled with ordinary people.” “Well, I guess so.” “Really? If it were seen like that──” “But that’s only in a situation where it is one against a hundred. Wouldn’t it be a different story if it were one against a thousand?” “That……well……” “That’s the justification. From within itself, humanity is afraid of the things that they cannot comprehend, và from that fear breeds riots and madness. By that aspect, ignorance actually suppresses all the other virtues.” “Ke, I don’t understand what you are saying.” As Elliot turned his face around as he spoke, Ike exposed a mature smile as he stood up khổng lồ leave. ──However, for Elliot, it wasn’t long before he learned the meaning behind those words. “Ah……ah……” A few months later. Above a hill overlooking his hometown in blazes, Elliot stood there expressionlessly as his voice trembled below a whisper. It was self-evident that the fire wasn’t caused by some leftover cigarette ashes that were ignored. No, it was clear that the fire was phối by someone with clear murderous intent và a desire for harm. The people who barely escaped from their burning houses were ruthlessly gunned down and collapsed beneath the men who were waiting outside. Although it wasn’t clear who they were, their purpose no doubt was the complete eradication of magicians. “Elliot…Elliot! The village, our village!” “……Don’t be so loud, Ellen……” “But……!” Elliot tightly clutch onto Ellen who was about to lớn raise her voice again, causing his chest khổng lồ be completely soaked with Ellen’s tears. Ellen’s sister, Karen, who had also evacuated alongside her, bite against her lips while staring at the hem of Elliot’s clothes. Having happened so suddenly, the loss of their hometown was too heavy of a tragedy for boys and girls around the age of ten lớn accept. However──among this, there was only one person. There was a boy who looked down upon the burning village without too much dismay. “…………” Ike, even with the hot winds against his face, stared at the village that had fallen into ruin, gazing intensely as his fellow compatriots were being shot dead. “Ike……?” Although he could not understand what Ike was thinking at the time as his face was illuminated by the fire, Elliot felt something resembling an uneasy sensation coming from him on that day. Although magicians were viewed as heresy among mankind, even among them it had felt like he had become a completely different type of creature── “Elliot, Ellen, Karen.” At that moment, as if to interrupt Elliot’s thought process, Ike called out the names of his fellow survivors. “──Let’s create a world, to expel humanity, a world where only magicians can exist. This began with them, so is there no reason why we shouldn’t vì it?” Then, he declared. ──In hindsight, this was the oldest memory of the foundations that would lead lớn the beginning of DEM. After that, ten years had passed. Elliot & the others had been buried under the research of magic. Of course, the world wasn’t simple enough for children of about ten years of age khổng lồ live alone. It was necessary khổng lồ rely on foster care during the first few years. However, it didn’t take long for a brilliant young boy lượt thích Ike to win the fancy of a wealthy couple. It also didn’t take long for the old couple lớn pass away due lớn an unfortunate accident. Indeed, as soon as Ike obtained enough assets through covert means, he invited Elliot và the others to his home. For as much as time would allow, they obtained a taste of the mystery. Theosophy. Occultism. Alchemy. And the Kabbalah. From the falsifications made public khổng lồ humans, they carefully uncovered the genuine article. Then──the time finally came. ──That day. In the central part of the Eurasia continent, the wind was silent as if heralding the arrival of a storm. Three figures stood amidst the mở cửa wilderness. Ike, Elliot, Ellen. The three magicians who had grown up to lớn be beyond recognition from that time had come to gather here. “──Shall we get started. Karen, get ready.” “Yes.” In response to lớn Ike’s words, Karen’s voice could be heard from the observatory through the communication device. At the same time, the device designed khổng lồ draw out the circle──the magical furnace began to start up while growling out a low howl. From the skies, from the earth, from the air. The energy that resides in every substance in the world turned into dazzling light, swirling và coiling around the surroundings. ── Spirit Formula. That was the name Elliot had given khổng lồ this ritual. Gathering all of the mana present in the world to a single focal point to lớn create a new life. By incorporating that power, Elliot và the others, who up until now could only tinker with a tiny amount mana through spells & books, could become all power nguồn wizards found in fantasy worlds. “Ike, with this──” “Ah. The Spirit will be born── in the wake of a new world enveloping this world.” Hearing Ellen’s words, Ike raised the corners of his lips to lớn speak. “──Voluntary territory. A universal space that should only exist in humanity’s imagination is being changed into reality. If the calculations are correct, the space of the Spirit being born is to lớn the extent of covering the entire earth. The scale is enough lớn be called another world──the neighboring world.” Ike moved forwarded while clenching his hand into a fist. “That is our world. We will overwrite our world with the neighboring world.” “…………” Elliot gulped as he listened khổng lồ Ike’s words while looking on to lớn the side of his face. He did not intend khổng lồ object to lớn what Ike was saying that this moment. For this goal, Elliot had sacrificed ten years’ worth of time. But why── Ike’s face as he was describing their hope looked the same as the face that he had displayed on that day. “──Time to prepare for the aftermath when the Spirit appears. Elliot, prepare the talisman.” “……Ah.” Elliot’s shoulders slightly trembled as began using the talisman khổng lồ collect enough mana to lớn produce a barrier to lớn cover three people. The very next moment. “────!” Alongside a tremendous shock, his field of vision was dyed completely white. Vibrations struck his entire body even though nothing could be heard through the barrier. It was just like the illusion of a missile being dropped onto their heads, creating an explosion of a ridiculous scale. As the ground was scrapped away, it felt lớn Elliot just lượt thích falling through his own barriers. “Hah……, hah……” After the vibrations stopped, Elliot finally dissolved the barrier. While waiting for the smoke & dust lớn disperse, he looked around the surroundings──the sight left him completely speechless. There was nothing left. The fields, mountains, even the silhouettes of the cities too far away lớn be seen. Everything had disappeared altogether. No──to say it more accurately, there was only one thing left there. Something that Elliot had never seen before was floating in front of them. “……Fuhahahahahahahahahaha.” Ike’s laughter echoed on the empty earth. ──It was a girl. With her entire toàn thân surrounded by a faint brilliant light, a beautiful girl had appeared there. ──Spirit. That moment was the beginning of a long-lasting fate. Chapter 1: The Signal Outbreak of War “────, ……──” Even if there was a desire to lớn let out a sound, there was only hoarse panting coming from her lips. With such extreme tension và only a small parcel of excitement at the moment, her body toàn thân and mind collapse into exhaustion. Tokisaki Kurumi’s legs slightly trembled before finally collapsing onto the ground. “Me!” “Are you alright?” Subsequently, the young girls surrounding her all issued out a voice of anxious concern. With hair tied unevenly between the left and right side & a clock shaped visage for a left eye, they were all clones of Kurumi with the exact same appearance as her. Kurumi gave out a few hoarse coughs before slowly standing up. “Un……it’s no big deal.” Right now, Kurumi was located at the roof of a building very late at night. With the moon now covered by the clouds, only the streetlights on the ground provided a dim illumination to look around. “…………” Kurumi looked down to lớn stare at the murky darkness of her own shadow. While slowly lifting her leg──gack! She trampled down with the heel of her leg. This was not to hotline out her Angel or the other clones lurking in the shadow. Just──nothing more than to feel relief about the Spirit caught inside the center of her shadow a moment ago. Yes, until beforehand, Kurumi was in the midst of a confrontation by the presence of a certain Spirit classified by the name . With its existence hidden away in mystery by covering with a layer of noise, it was the Spirit who can turn humans into Spirits. & so, the figure after being stripped away of that mosaic──turned out khổng lồ be none other than the assistant teacher for Shido và the others và the analytic officer, Murasame Reine. But even so, merely kicking the shadow wasn’t enough to verify the current status inside. Although there was only a single entrance, Kurumi’s shadow was roughly divided into two areas. One space is similar khổng lồ a storage sanctuary where clones can freely squirm lớn come in & out as they like. Connected to lớn that, there was another space designed lượt thích a stomach lớn plunder the “time” of intruders. Of course, Kurumi had sent the swallowed up Reine to lớn the latter. That space was also involuntary for Kurumi. Not only could she not spit out those swallowed in, it was also completely impossible to peek into khổng lồ understand the situation inside as well. It was just lượt thích how humans are unable to use the naked eye to lớn look inside their own body. ……The reason for kicking against the shadow was simply because there was no other destination to transmit the emotions burning up. Not matter how mighty the Spirit, it was impossible to be alive after being caught in that space. Having recovered briefly from the silent & tranquil atmosphere returning, Kurumi breathed out a light sigh. “Really──that was too easy. For a Spirit to excessively break up her own power……to that extent.” As if speaking lớn herself, Kurumi muttered out loud. In fact, this was not her original power. As a result, of Kurumi’s surprise attack she didn’t even have the time to lớn equip her Astral Dress. However, the more important thing was the result. Reine had disappeared while Kurumi was still standing there. Only that fact was the outcome of that battle. Kurumi sharpened her gaze after taking in another deep breath. Then, she slowly raised her head. “Come──we. This is not the end. My target is not that rubbish person from a moment ago, but rather that quái dị in its heyday 30 years ago.” “…………” As Kurumi spoke out loudly, the clones all nodded with an obedient look on their faces. “To that end, the reiryoku sealed within Shidou-san is indispensable──come.” “Eh, eh, let’s go.” “Break apart DEM’s plans, & capture Shidou-san in my own hands.” “If divided her power lượt thích this, it’ll be easy to lớn defeat her before she is born.” “Eh, But──” Suddenly, one clone exposed an expression of doubt. “Why would divide her own power to increase the number of Spirits. Certainty, wouldn’t that be only asking for oneself to lớn incur weakness?” “…………” After hearing the clone’s words, Kurumi remained silent for a while. Indeed, it was just lượt thích what she had said. If Reine had been in a state of full power, then there was no chance that even Kurumi could win. With this matter related to lớn her own life, Kurumi didn’t think that she was only playing around by turning humans into Spirits. There was something──a reason. Even if it meant the loss of power, something that needed khổng lồ be finished. Even if it meant exposing your own life in danger, something you want to lớn achieve. “………..” However, no matter how much thought was put on this, it was impossible to think up an answer. The only woman who could answer that question was now sleeping in the darkness of the shadow. “──Humm.” With a disgruntled grunt, Kurumi departed from that location while accompanied by her clones. ◇ “──Commander! Shidou-kun’s response has been captured!” Onboard an airborne ship floating in the skies of Tenguu City, , the crew member’s voice resounded on the bridge. In response khổng lồ that voice, the girl sitting on the captain’s seat with twintails tied behind her shoulder stood up. “! Well done, where is he!?” As the captain of và commanding officer of , Itsuka Kotori raised the Chupa Chups stick in her mouth upward as she leaned her body toàn thân forward to lớn focus on the monitor screen. Despite this, there was no one there who would say that her response was over excessive. After all, the whereabouts of Kotori’s older brother, Itsuka Shido, had been lost right as he was undergoing contact with the Worst Spirit, Tokisaki Kurumi. A few seconds later, the appearance of a young boy was displayed on the main screen. A body toàn thân of medium builds and average height, while accompanied by swaggering footsteps. Although she couldn’t see his facial expression due lớn his head inclining down, it was without a doubt Kotori’s older brother──Shidou. Although she didn’t know if it was an illusion, it felt as if his clothes had become dirtier than from before. Moreover, Kurumi, who should have been with him, was nowhere to be seen. What on earth happened in the end? “Anyway, let’s carry out recovering Shidou first!” “Yes!” In response khổng lồ Kotori’s commands, the crew members all began khổng lồ operate on their consoles. So at the next moment, accompanied alongside a small driving engine beginning to lớn move within , Shidou’s figure on the monitor suddenly disappeared. A few seconds later, as if to lớn serve as a substitute, Shidou’s figure appeared on the transport device installed above the internal bridge with faintly radiant light particles surrounding his person. “Shidou!” With her throat trembling, Kotori ran from the captain seat towards Shidou’s side. “Are you alright!? What the hell happened!? Kurumi──” At that moment, Kotori, who was questioning him while grabbing against Shidou’s sleeves, abruptly stopped her words. As a result of being so close lớn Shidou, Kotori was finally able lớn see the expression on his face. Worry, sorrow, và also quite a few regrets. As is shaped by that──an expression filled with determination. Indeed, in order to lớn seal Kurumi’s reiryoku a certain amount of willpower was needed khổng lồ oppose her. However, the feeling Shidou exuded right now exceeded the faint degree of the madness và sadness of the mission at hand. It was like──the obsession necessary to lớn save someone even at the cost of one’s own life. With a burning radiance within his pair of eyes, Kotori felt overwhelmed for a split second. “──Kotori.” Shidou quietly raised his head và opened his mouth. “Can you gather everyone together? I want lớn tell you all everything. Right now, no──what has happened up until now. What Kurumi had done as well as what she did for me.” There was a mountain of questions she wanted lớn ask. Moreover, since Kurumi’s location was still not confirmed, that was another piece of information they would want as soon as possible. Indeed, the usual Kotori would have certainly said, “Why are you putting it on airs?” và would urge him by force to continue speaking. However, she decided not to press the matter. One can suspect it is because of the momentum of the conversation, but right now the current Shidou looked so fill with misery that he would break down into tiny fragments if agitated further. “……Un, I understand.” Kotori breathed in a sigh of relief before lowering her neck in defeat. After her mind was allowed khổng lồ regroup from the deep breath, she issued the commands to lớn the crew members. “Shiizaki, gather all of the Spirits in the mansion. Minowa, please tương tác Miku, Origami, & Nia! Kawagoe, continue searching for a response from Kurumi!” “Understood!” Hearing Kotori give out her instructions without pause, the crew members all responded by simultaneously. Kotori gently nodded her head in consent before turning her gaze towards the left side. “And also Reine, you should tương tác Mana──.” ──At that moment. After speaking that far, Kotori furrowed her eyebrows. Located in front of her line of sight, there was the figure of a single woman sitting in front of the console. She had long hair tied together carelessly & thick dark circles underneath her sleepy eyes. From the breast pocket of her Ratatoskr military uniform, there was the face of a stuffed bear with a stich mark peering out a little. ’s analytic officer and Kotori’s close friend, Murasame Reine. “……Um, understood. I’ll go tương tác Mana.” Reine slowly nodded her head in response lớn Kotori. There should have been no particular oddity exceeding expectations. Her appearance, voice, và response were all the same as usual. But why? Kotori felt a strange sense of discomfort from that sight. “……Kotori?” “──” Hearing Reine hotline out her name, Kotori jolted her shoulders for a second. “Ah……sorry, please bởi that.” Despite appearing seemingly nervous, Kotori lightly shook her head before returning her line of sight back lớn the original matter at hand. ◇ ──About an hour had passed since Shido was retrieved by . The briefing room phối up inside the ship was dominated by silence. In addition to Shidou, there were 13 people in this room. Tohka, Origami, Kotori, Yoshino, Kaguya, Yuzuru, Miku, Natsumi, Nia, Mukuro, và Reine & Mana alongside these Spirits. In addition, Maria, the management AI of , should have been watching this situation through the monitor screen. Perhaps due to so many people gathering, no one uttered a single word since just a moment ago, with everyone remaining silent difficult facial expression. Among them, Mana was comprehending, yet also unable lớn accept it, carving deep wrinkles near her eyebrow while folding her arms. Even so, it couldn’t be helped. Everyone had heard. They all knew. Shidou had told everyone. Of ──of how Tokisaki Kurumi became a Spirit & the reason for why she was willing to bear the ill reputation of being the Worst Spirit. And then, khổng lồ save Shidou from the fate of death, repeatedly reset the world many times over again and again. Shidou conveyed without any concealment, exaggeration, or falsifications. Her footsteps, her course of action, & of course──her grieving desire. Naturally, it would be a lie to say that Shidou felt did not uneasy talking about this. Yet, in order to trả lời Kurumi for her deeds, there was certainly the need to lớn discuss this with everyone. But more than anything else──Shido wanted everyone khổng lồ know. The girl known as Tokisaki Kurumi had not simply accumulated countless heinous crimes for self-interest or pleasure. Having unknowingly committed a fault while unaware, her made lofty determination made her chose a road filled with thorns in order lớn save mankind, friends, và the world. …...Well, perhaps, Kurumi would loathe this becoming known by other people. “Muu……I never thought something like that happened khổng lồ Kurumi.” “How frightening……” It was Tohka và Yoshino who made the first initiative khổng lồ break the silence. Both of them had eyes opened up into complete circles with sweat hanging down from their faces. “……It’s hard lớn accept something lượt thích that as true.” At that moment, a young girl, with her hair tied in a single ponytail and teardrop lượt thích birthmark mole, spoke out in turn. Takamiya Mana. A Wizard belonging to và the self-proclaimed younger sister of Shidou. Her staunch eyes were now bewildered by doubt and confusion. “That heinously cruel & rebellious beast in human form, whose character is to lớn focus on the next premium set barbeque meal, that wanted lớn save everyone? That bad joke hurts to lớn even be laughed at.” After finishing speaking, Mana gave an exaggerated shrug of her shoulders. However, that was only to lớn be expected. Mana and Kurumi can be best described as mutual enemies that have had numerous confrontations up until now. Even if such an explanation was said suddenly, it would be impossible to lớn simply accept it. “Mana, I understand your feelings, but──” However, just as Shidou was about khổng lồ speak, Mana lowered her eyes and extended out the palm of her hand as if lớn stop him. “…...That is to say, well, if compared khổng lồ as higher than the probability of Niisama lying khổng lồ Mana, I would have no choice but khổng lồ believe it.” After saying that, Mana gave out a mock sigh of relief. “Mana……” “Oh, please don’t misunderstand. I only believe in Nii-sama’s words, so that doesn’t mean I intend to lớn accept that woman.” “……That’s really confusing……isn’t that the same thing. No, I can tell you also probably want to express……” Natsumi spoke out with sweat dripping down her head. However, Mana took no heed in this and continued to lớn speak without seeming to care. “Compared to that Nii-sama, putting this matter aside, there is another point I’m quite interested in.” “Hmm……what is it?” As Shidou made a puzzled expression, Mana raised a finger and turned her eyes into a more serious gaze onto him before asking. “When Nii-sama was supposed to lớn be been experiencing , Tokisaki Kurumi’s past──a women called Takamiya Mio appeared there.” “…………” Hearing Mana’s words, Shidou’s throat issued a small groan. That’s right. Shidou was able to experience Kurumi’s past through the bullet of her Angel . Amidst there, a girl named Takamiya Mio had appeared. Moreover, that girl was obviously not an ordinary person. She had given Kurumi the Spirit Sephira Crystal to Kurumi khổng lồ turn her into a Spirit & the power nguồn needed to hunt other Spirits. Kurumi’s bitter enemy, it can said that this existence is the cause for everything. Additionally, it is expected that Mana would feel completely concerned about the matters involving this girl. After all──Takamiya. Mio had the same family name as Mana. Moreover, the name Mio was something Shidou had once said when in the depths of a trance-like state from his reiryoku going rampant. This was too much strange of a coincidence for a person not khổng lồ take interest in. “Ah……I’m also concerned about this matter as well. Who the hell is this Mio person?” “Giving Kurumi a Sephira Crystal to turn Kurumi into a Spirit, that sounds just lượt thích how appeared before us.” It was Kotori who took it upon herself to lớn answer Shidou’s question. She was resting on her arms & legs against a chair and moving the Chupa Chups stick in her mouth up & down. . It was the name of the mysterious Spirit that had handed the Sephira Crystals khổng lồ Kotori, Origami, Miku, & Nia, & Mukuro và turned them into Spirits. Just as Kotori had said, there were many things in common with Mio, who had appeared in Kurumi’s memory. “Is it a Spirit with the same nguồn as , or is Takamiya Mio the identity of . If so, what is the end goal? Furthermore, what is her relationship lớn Shidou và Mana……the mysteries keep coming one after another.” After saying that, Kotori shrugged her shoulders in a dejected manner. As if continuing off, Mana lightly nodded her head before speaking. “Of course, the possibility of having the same surname or that person using a giả name isn’t zero. However, if thinking from the assumption that there is something interrelated, could it be a relative of me and Nii-sama? At the very least, it should be someone acquainted with me và Nii-sama.” Mana spoke out while caressing her chin. Even if this meant failing lớn grasp at the main points, this was unavoidable. After all, both Shidou & Mana had lost the memories of their past as siblings together. Although the DNA identification demo confirmed the two of them as real siblings, the reason why Mana called Shidou her Nii-sama the first time was due to only her intuition and the picture in her locket. It was quite the rough reasoning. “Hmm……I’m not sure. That alone……” As Shidou tried to mutter out a groan, Nia turned around as if becoming aware of something. “Are? But listening to lớn that story didn’t boy điện thoại tư vấn out Miochi’s name? Isn’t that a bit strange?” “Eh? What’s strange?” “No, well hasn’t it been decades ago since Kurumin meet Miochi. If it’s a relative, it wouldn’t be surprising if it were your aunt or grandmother. But to call the name directly without an honorific, wouldn’t that cause a feeling of discomfort? Of course, it’s a different matter if boy’s personality was very wild before losing his memories──” “Ah……” Having heard something that made sense, Shido could only scratch his face in response. But, as if to lớn make a sudden rebuttal, Origami quickly opened her mouth. “Not exactly. There’s no doubt that Takamiya Mio is a Spirit or existence that has a similar power. In that case, it is possible that she encountered Shidou and Mana with the same appearance she had with Tokisaki Kurumi.” “Ah──, as it is──. Certainty, before I was sealed, no matter how late I stayed up drinking; my skin was still as glossy as a hard-boiled egg.” After speaking in a jovial manner, Nia caressed her face with both of her hands. Amidst the definite silence, Natsumi responded with a “……right now?” Having finally received response at last, Nia sharply responded back, “Once in effect, the sweat in the corners of the skin are like sharp road turns used like racing techniques for the gutters……what did you let me just say!” Such a natural tsukkomi routine was received completely through the natural socialization among the Spirits. Looking on at the interaction, Shidou’s mouth formed a wry smile before once again giving out a small groan. Even so, no matter how much he racked his brain, he still couldn’t arrive at an answer. That’s right. After all, there was too little information. Although, it would be a different story if Shidou và Mana were able to lớn recall their lost memories── “Hmm.” As Shidou was deep in though, he suddenly heard a lovely whisper. Turning lớn the direction from where the voice came from, it turned out lớn be from one of the Spirits, Hoshimiya Mukuro. She was fidgeting with the coiled three braided long hair draping over her shoulders before also turning her line of sight towards Shidou. “Truly tis a strange fable.” ──Then Nushi-sama, if it is of great concern, then just simply recall it.” Then, Mukuro replied back in an ever so nonchalant tone. What innocent language said without guilt; really, if that was the case. For a split second, Shidou curled his eyes a made a bitter smile. “Ahahah……yes. If only you could remember it all of a sudden……yet──” However. Shidou had finally realized the meaning behind Mukuro’s words. Mukuro was neither joking nor misunderstanding what Shidou và the others were saying. Quite literally, she merely straightforwardly expressed her opinion. “……Can it be done?” As Shidou questioned back with a meek expression, Mukuro responded back with her consent as if it were a matter of course. “Muku’s is an absolute key. Things that are visible or cannot been seen, objects that are tangible or intangible, there is no difference in anything. There is no such thing that cannot mở cửa without any distinction. ──Even if that gateway is some stubbornly closed off memories.” “…………” Hearing what Mukuro had said, Shidou breathed out a sigh of relief. The nguồn held within Mukuro’s key-shaped angel, . It was an unrivaled angel with the power khổng lồ literally mở cửa and close everything. Certainty, with ’s power nguồn it may be possible lớn awakened the memories sealed within himself. Shidou placed his hand against his chest in an effort to suppress the sudden & violent throbbing from his heart. No, it wasn’t just Shidou. Side by side, each và every other Spirit looked on with a surprised or impressed expression while directing their attention towards Mukuro. “……Shidou.” In such circumstances, the one who displayed the most striking expression was Kotori. With a grim face, she started intently at Shidou’s hands. There was no confusion or surprise within her expression──only mere tension. It was as if she was already aware of the possibility of Mukuro’s but could not speak out. “──Kotori.” Looking at her expression, Shidou quickly understood the reason for the uneasiness within Kotori’s thoughts. Even if everything went well and Shido reclaimed the memories of his past, it may not necessarily be what they are hoping for. After all, in the end no one here right now knows what happened in Shido và Mana’s past. Furthermore, there was no guarantee that Shidou would be able to keep his current personality after retrieving his original memories. The current Shidou might get absorb into the personality of his previous self……although one might scoff at reaching such a conclusion, they could not deny the possibility that restoring his past memories might affect him in some way. ──However. “It’ll be alright. Since no matter what happens, I always am your older brother.” Shidou spoke out as he made a sweat smile while stroking Kotori’s head. “Onii-chan……” Overcome by emotion for a split second, Kotori’s eyes started khổng lồ moisten. However, remembering that everyone eyes might be on her, she quickly shook her head and breathed out. “I-I’m not worried about you in the slightest. Something like that──of course.” Kotori pouted her lips as her face was flushed with a red hue. Seeing that adorable và sorry appearance, Shidou could help but feel his strength even more empowered as he was caressing her head. “Haha…..ah, so it’s like that.” “Keke.” At that moment, as if accompanied by a deliberate cough, Mana made a somewhat resentful expression. “Ah, no. Not like that. Of course, wouldn’t it be that Mana is my cuter little sister……?” As Shidou hastily tried khổng lồ give & explanation, Mana shrugged her shoulders as if saying “I understand”. “It’s a joke. Mana also doesn’t want the idea of Nii-sama changing from his current self.” However, Mana continued on. “If you have a means of retrieving memories from the past, then I would certainly want attempt it. There’s nothing more I want to lớn know lượt thích who Takamiya Mio is and what happened to lớn me and Nii-sama.” “……Ah.” Shidou seeing her boldly display her own determination, nodded khổng lồ give his consent before lowering his eyes và slowly lifted up his right hand. Afterwards, Shidou let out a gentle sigh as he began lớn concentrate his mind. Consciously feeling the nguồn circulating throughout his body, it was similar khổng lồ the sense of trying lớn channel everything into a single direction. In accordance to Shidou’s will, the reiryoku sealed from the Spirits caused his body temperature to suddenly spike up. Although it had been a struggle khổng lồ grasp this feeling in the past, after the reiryoku went rampant, he had reached the point where he could control the power nguồn freely lớn some extent as long as he had the time and environment lớn concentrate. “──.” Shouting from the depths of his throat, he called out the name of the angel. Then, as if in response to that voice, the heat circulating around his body exuded outward──a gigantic staff with a key-shaped tip manifested. “Ooh……!” “………...” Shidou felt that the Spirits all breathed in a sigh of relief at the sight. Shidou took in another deep breath khổng lồ calm down his heart, and then held onto the summoned using both of his hands in attempt to pierce his own head with the key. ……However, was too large for the process khổng lồ be done smoothly. Looking at the comical scene, the Spirits tried to lớn suppress a smile. “Ugu……” “It would be difficult to be serviceable as it is, Nushi-sama. Since is already in Nushi-sama’s hands, you should already know the power. Should be used.” Then Mukuro extended out her fingers, speaking out just like an instructor guiding a disciple. “…….” As Shidou repeated that word, it raised such a mysterious feeling. Even though he had never heard that word before, he felt like he already knew about it. However, it wasn’t the first time he had felt this before. When using the angels of the Spirits, the knowledge of how khổng lồ use that power would vaguely appear in his mind. To be able khổng lồ recollect matters that should not be know, such a strange sensation. Recalling the image captured in his mind, he once again called out the name. “──.” Then, with that command, the huge staff gripping against Shidou’s hands began lớn shrink in form size faster than the naked eye could see until it was small enough to lớn fit in the palm of his hand. Indeed, this size was much easier khổng lồ handle. Perhaps, Mukuro had also used this size when using the key to lớn pierce her own head. “Okay……” After re-adjusting his own breathing, Shidou slowly guided the key towards his own temple. “──Then let’s begin.” “Umu……!” “Don’t worry. Believe in !” “Ayan! khổng lồ think that such a sharp pointed object will be entering inside Darling’s body!” “……Miku, you shut up for a moment.” Hearing the Spirits converse with each other, Shidou let out a slight chuckle. The Spirits’ conversation helped Shidou loosen his shoulders just enough from the tension. He took in another deep breath before directing the sharp kết thúc of into his own head. ◇ ──Completely white. If you were to describe it in a word, that ought to lớn be the expression used. From the perspective man of faith, it would seem no more illusion than mankind being punished by God. If a conspiracy theorist saw it, they would believe it was a nuclear attack from an enemy nation. Those who were tied khổng lồ common sense would have thought of it as a hallucination or daydream. ──In any case, such was the scene. Explosion. Yes, perhaps an explosion…...had occurred and passed. However, within that boy’s mind, the impression and scale between that and an explosion was too great. As a result, it took time lớn find a word to lớn match the description of that phenomenon. Until a few seconds ago, he would have continued on with his ordinary everyday life. Walking down the road towards the shopping district in order lớn purchase a book he wanted. However, while walking on the paved road leisurely with each step, thinking about tonight’s dinner menu, the vast street in front of him was suddenly surrounded by a dazzling light. No, khổng lồ be more accurate, including the district, it was a vast area roughly ten kilometers in size. In an instant, with a tremendous roar, the surroundings were scrapped away by shock wave, causing his body toàn thân to be blown away like a leaf in the wind. “Gu……ah…….!” On the ground after his toàn thân struck against a collapsed fence, he uttered out anguished cry. Soon afterwards, the shock waves that were causing the air to tremble subsided as the surroundings were filled with silence. No, if spoken correctly, the roaring noise that resounded earlier caused his ears to temporarily deafen. “Gu……” After waking up & enduring the pain, the boy stood up after brushing off the pebbles và fragments of the building that had fallen on his body. “What……how……what happened…….?” The boy rubbed against his eyes & raised his head. Then── “What──” Looking at the vast scenery in front of him, he was left speechless. Not what happened. Just, there was nothing left. The buildings, houses, cars, telephone poles, traffic lights, roadside trees, streets, và even──the people. There was no component that would naturally be assumed when thinking of the word town. There was only the ground that had been beautifully scrapped away and the violent winds. Although it would be natural to lớn assume that it was because a large explosion just occurred──but it wasn’t the same. Overcome by the intense uncomfortable feeling, he tried gazing at the sight once again with widen eyes. Clearly, the amount of rubble was too scarce. If this were caused by a collision of a meteorite, a bomb, a gas explosion, or the like, then there should be more wreckage lying around even if everything was destroyed. However the rubble surrounding him was not caused by the explosion itself, it was the debris left over from the aftermath. Whether it was the remnants of cars, fragments of trees── the corpses of people. There existed nothing in the place where he though was the hypocenter of the explosion. Even so, looking out to lớn the vast area that extended out khổng lồ about 10 kilometers, there was no enormous substance or living creature that could be found anywhere. As if──everything within that range had been erased. “………..” No──the boy gulped as if trying to lớn reject his own thoughts. It was certainly abnormal, an unthinkable situation beyond mere common sense. Although, if asked whether he or not had completely no knowledge about the phenomena, then the answer would have to be no. ──Spacequake. A few months ago, a cataclysm of unknown cause opened a large hole in the Eurasia continent. It was a major sự kiện of the century that was being vigorously covered by T.V và newspapers every day. Ever since then, public attention was directed towards the small scale spacequakes occurring throughout the world. Right now, the sight spreading beyond his eyes look exactly like what he had seen before in a helicopter shot video. “This is……a spacequake?” As he murmured astray, his body toàn thân shuttered when looked over the sight again. Although he already knew that this was a great calamity unparalleled in humanity’s history, even if recognizing that the devil’s dice had been cast, it was impossible khổng lồ understand how khổng lồ approach a method for evading such a disaster. Yet, when seen in front of his own eyes──and in a situation he might have been involved in had he left home a few minutes earlier──when that was pointed out, a sort of phantasmal sensation emerged as his blood began to lớn surge. However. “……!?” In the next moment, his body began shivering from head khổng lồ toe because of a feeling other than dread. Farther ahead ──on the newly formed crater in the ground, he saw something that resembled a small silhouette. Normally, such a distance would be too far away for anything to lớn be visible. This situation was only possible as a result of everything sheltering or obstructing one’ sight had already been completely eliminated. Although it was hard khổng lồ believe that someone had survived that explosion, the possibility of someone now crawling out after taking shelter underground wasn’t null. “Tch……” If spoken truthfully, he didn’t want khổng lồ step into the epicenter where the large explosion had occurred. After all, the cause of the explosion was still unknown and there was no guarantee that another explosion might occur again. However. Perhaps, that person is hurt. Perhaps it wasn’t possible for that person lớn move from that spot. ──The moment that though flew into his mind, his feet automatically began to move forward. He ran a straight line directly into the area of death that used lớn be overflowing with the activity of people just a moment ago. While considering the need to check on the status of that person as soon as possible, he might even have lớn carry that person away from here as well. That fretful feeling caused him to lớn moves his legs faster than usual. ──However. “You there! Are you alright──” Despite not knowing how far he ran, he finally arrived at a distance where that image of that figure could be seen clearly. Yet, at that moment, his foot instinctively froze at that spot. “Eh──” From his throat, a voice semi-consciously leaked out. The reason was extremely simple. On the ground where everything else had been annihilated, there was a naked girl squatted down. That existence nailed him in place at that spot. Sight, Attention, và even his heart, ──In the blink of an eye, it had all been taken away from him. She is so, Unparalleled Transcendent, A girl so beautiful lớn the point of being even unreasonable. “Y-you are……” “……………………” After listening lớn the boy’s words, the girl slowly raised her head as if noticing his existence for the first time. ──Thump. His heart tightly contracted. “…………….” The girl’s lips slightly moved. The boy, that voice── ◇ “………You are.” Such a voice was heard amidst a hazy consciousness. It took a few seconds before he realized that voice was coming from his own throat. “Eh……? Strange, here is.” As the blurry image began lớn focus, his eyes saw a familiar room. Apparently, he was lying on the infirmary room onboard . “…Aaah, looks lượt thích you’ve woke up, Shin.” At that moment, a voice that didn’t belong lớn him echoed in the room. Shidou raised his jaw và turned towards the direction that voice came from. “What......!?” He couldn’t help but stare with eyes forced open. It seemed that Reine was standing beside the pillow he was reclining on. Although from Shidou’s perspective, her ample bust was on full display right in front of his face. “……Hmm? What’s wrong?” “Ah, no, it’s nothing……” While his cheeks were turning red, he awkwardly turned his head away. After that, Shidou turned to see the Spirits who were inventively watching over him as he was lying on the bed. “Shido! Are you okay!” “Please……don’t force yourself.” With faces full of anxiety, the Spirits rushed towards Shidou’s side as they opened their mouths to speak one by one. Shidou quickly replied back in confusion. “W-what, what’s going on, what happened?” “What’s the matter; you scared me when you suddenly collapsed!” “Consent. After inserting into his head, Shidou mumbled something momentarily before collapsing.” “Eh……” Listening khổng lồ what the Yamai Sisters were saying, Shidou slightly tilted his head ──issuing out an audible “ah” sound. That’s right. Just as they had said, Shidou’s recollections were abruptly disconnected the moment he inserted into his head. “Ah……sorry for making you guys worry.” “No, it’s good that you were able khổng lồ wake up right up away.” “Right, I’m glad that nothing too serious happened.” “Truly, with my kiss even sleepy beauty can awaken.” “Eh……!?” In front of everyone, Origami suddenly spoke out such outrageous words nonchalantly, causing Shidou’s eyes to lớn startle xuất hiện in fright. However, Kotori immediately smacked the side of Origami’s head gently. “What are you talking about? Shidou, don’t believe this!” “Please wait and let me finish speaking. There are numerous molecules floating around in this space. It isn’t wrong to say that the particles I’ve breathed out will necessarily cảm ứng Shidou’s lips. In other words, there’s no problem done even if it is an indirect kiss.” “!? W-wait a minute professor! That means between me and everyone in this room just now……!” “Are tied together in a situation of deep kissing.” “To think there is such talent among people! What results the scientific community must be achieving!” It seemed that Professor Tobiichi’s ground breaking theory was attracting the approval & excitement of fellow researchers. Kotori could only place her hand against her forehead and sighed at the sight. In the meanwhile, there was young girl shrinking her shoulders back apart in regret. ──It was Mukuro. “Mu……” “Mukuro?” Hearing Shidou replied back, Mukuro’s toàn thân slightly trembled before she found it in herself to continue to lớn speak. “……My apologizes, Nushi-sama. Muku was the one who recommended using ’s power……” After speaking out, Mukuro let out a remorseful facial expression filled with guilt. Shidou let out a sudden sigh before straightening out his body upright as if khổng lồ say “it’s alright!”. “Look, as you can see, there’s nothing wrong. This isn’t Mukuro’s fault. Originally, I was actually feeling a little bit sick from a lack of sleep this morning.” “Nushi-sama……” As if perceiving Shidou’s intentions, Mukuro slowly nodded her head. Looking at that appearance, the Spirits all felt their own expressions relax down a bit. Then, a few seconds afterward, as if waiting for everyone to lớn finish talking, Mana’s voice was heard from the corner of the room. “──So, I hate to ask while Nii-sama isn’t feeling that well, but how did it go?” “Eh?” “I’m asking about the results from using . Although I can tell that your personality hasn’t changed……did you remember anything?” “………….” Hearing what Mana had said, everyone slightly gulped. The gazes of all of the Spirits focused intently onto Shidou’s toàn thân at the same time. Mana’s question was quite sensible. In the first place, Shidou had used on himself lớn find if there was a clue about Takamiya Mio in his lost memories of the past. Và there──Shidou had observed. Memories that both belong & did not belong khổng lồ himself. A pre-existing scene that should not have been seen or known before. “Aah, that’s……” However, Shidou paused speaking at that moment. He did not want lớn pretend with the intentions of concealing his memories as a secret from everyone else. Just simply stated──he could not accurately recall what he had seen. “Ahh……it’s strange. For sure……I saw something.” Placing his hand against his forehead, he let out an audible groan. Not matter how much thought he racked his brain with, it was impossible lớn disperse the fog lingering in his mind and condense what he had seen into a conceptual image. If he were lớn make an analogy, it felt just lượt thích waking up from a dream. It was certainly more vividly clear a while ago when asleep. However, the moment he woke up, that world crumbled lượt thích sugar confectionary. The leftover fragments remaining in his head resembled the feeling of searching for the vestiges of memories contained within a lost dream. “……Damm, what the hell. How can be possible khổng lồ forget something lượt thích this……” As Shidou was gripping against his head, someone suddenly placed a gentle hand against his shoulder. ──it was Reine. “……Calm down, Shin. Don’t be fretful; there must be another method you can consider.” “Reine-san……” As Shido raised his head lớn look around, he found that all of the Spirits in the room were nodding their heads in agreement one by one. “That’s right, Shidou. There must be some other way.” “……Well, it’s merely zero after reverting back lớn zero, so there’s no need to mind it, isn’t that so?” “Hey, boy sure is an expert at making others worried.” “……Ah, that’s right. Thank you everyone.” Hearing what everyone had said, he responded back with a relived sigh. Lớn be honest, Shidou still felt tormented by a sense of helplessness và mild degree of self-loathing, but he couldn’t let the others become worried about such a demeanor. Shidou used both of his hands khổng lồ pat down his cheeks khổng lồ invigorate himself as he raised his head with an “alright” mental shout. “That energetic looks suits you better Nii-sama. ──For that matter, I have a proposal.” Mana spoke out while raising a single finger. In response, Shidou slanted his head in confusion. “Proposal?” “Yes, that angel that was just used a moment ago──you called it . Can you also try khổng lồ insert it inside Mana’s head?” “Huh……?” Hearing what Mana had just said, Shidou stared out with mở cửa dumbfounded eyes. However, he quickly caught on khổng lồ the meaning behind Mana’s words. It wasn’t just Shidou who had lost his past memories; Mana’s memories of the past had also been sealed. At the same time, as Shidou’s biological little sister, there might be information about Takamiya Mio in her memory as well. Certainty, the proposal sounded reasonable. “So that’s the reason, indeed……” But at that moment, Kotori stood up to intervene between Mana & Shidou . “Yes, yes, we’ll try again next time. For now, shouldn’t we wait for Shidou khổng lồ recover first?” “Eh? No, I’m already……” Just as Shidou was trying to say something, Nia, who seemed khổng lồ aware of something, interrupted him. “Yes, yes, since boy should take a break after already taking it out once. It’s no good lớn keep pressuring boy because he’s still young Manatee. Ah, I mean about the angel.” After hearing something lượt thích that, Shidou covertly turned his gaze the other way. But then, in-between awkwardly staring at the ground, he caught a glimpse of Nia’s expression. ──soon afterwards, he picked up on what the two of them were thinking. “Ah……” Certainty, Mana’s memories had been sealed. However, with that sealed memory, it not only contained the information about Takamiya Mio that Shido desires, but also contains memories of when Mana had been kidnapped by DEM & the magical modifications subjugated on her body. Although it was unclear how she was treated, it must have certainty been a pleasant experience. As there is no guarantee that can unlock only selective memories, it seems better khổng lồ avoid using it on Mana. “……That’s right, sorry Mana, is it possible that we try it next time?” “Hmm……” As Shidou replied back, Mana gently stroke her chin and raised her eyebrow to a へ shape. Although it seemed that she didn’t fully understand Shidou’s intentions, but she was probably aware of the reason by now. Mana took in a deep breath as her hands fluttered around. “I understand. Okay, if Nii-sama says so, let’s bởi that.” Mana spoke out as if surrendering and withdrawing her request. As always, she was young girl with a thoughtful và straightforward temperament. Although Mana looked like a junior high student, her prudence và dignity were just like an adult. Honestly, it was difficult at times to lớn determine who the older sibling was. “Aah……sorry, Mana.” “No, it’s my fault for pushing forward such difficult demands.” Kotori let out a sigh of relief in response khổng lồ what Mana had said. This younger sister as well, with a mental acuity much faster than Shidou, was also a reliable commander. “Well, let’s take a break now. This time the feeling of “I think I saw something” remained. If there’s no problem, let’s monitor your brain waves while using next time. Perhaps then we can figure this out.” “Aah, please vì chưng so.” After Shidou replied back, Kotori nodded her head in consent và clapped her hands against each other. “Alright, let’s clear out now everyone. There’s no way Shidou will be able to rest if it is this noisy.” “It’s all right, I’m confident that I’ll be able to relax now.” “Yes! I want khổng lồ sing a lullaby song.” “Yes! I want to sketch boy’s sleeping face.” “The three of us can provide surveillance when needing to use the restroom.” With half-opened eyes, Kotori pushed the others Spirits to depart from the infirmary. Shidou smiled wryly while looking at their backs leaving the room. Then, feeling more relaxed and calm now, he returned back khổng lồ lie down on the bed. “……Takamiya, Mio……” As he muttered that named, Shidou raised his hand towards the ceiling and then slowly moved his fingers one by one lớn clench into a fist. ──Only one thing. Yes, there was only one thing that he had neglected mentioning lớn Kotori. He didn’t purposely falsify the information he gave. It was true that he couldn’t remember the contents, even though there was the sensation of seeing something. But──why? Every time he heard the name Takamiya Mio, who should have not existed in his memory, being called out. There was the sensation of his heart tightening. “…………” Shidou quietly lowered his hand & covered his body with the futon before closing his eyes. ◇ “………….” Sitting down within a chair in a company room, Ellen Matters was fidgeting with her legs while having an impatient look on her face. She has pale Nordic blonde hair và a pair of xanh eyes resembling the collective moonlight. As young as she is, it’s difficult khổng lồ imagine her having a daunting title lượt thích DEM Industries’ Second Executive Director. She was beautiful girl with an appearance resembling an alluring enchantress. But the beautiful aspect of these feature were now distorted unpleasantly by excessive stress. The cause is obvious. “──Hey, are Ellen & Otou-sama childhood friends?” “How was Otou-sama lượt thích when he was younger?” “Say, isn’t Artemisia hard to lớn pronounce? Isn’t there a nickname?” “What would be good? Arumi?” “Hahahaha.” “Ellen, what kind of shampoo vì you use?” “Ah, there’s split ends on your hair.” ……Etc. The inside of the normally quiet office room had been competently transformed into the gossip & chatter of an all-girls school’s classroom. As a rough estimate, there were over 20 girls noisily clamoring about. With pale-blue eyes và dark gray hair, all of them inconceivably shared the same appearance. , by relying on the nguồn of the Demon King, và DEM Industries’ superior craft, pseudo Spirits had been brought into existence. Those girls, all with the same appearance & voice, threw out pointless chatter from all directions before gossiping on lớn the next topic. Moreover, they’ve been acting this way every day since they were born. For Ellen, who couldn’t be too severe in response, this was indeed an unbearable environment. “……, is there something else you can vày more quietly?” As Ellen finished impatiently, a replied back with a dumbstruck expression as if not knowing what they were being told. “Eh? I’m just having an ordinary conversation.” “Hey, isn’t that the feeling you get when you’re getting old……” “Are you on the brink of hysteria? How──scary.” “…………” Faced with the ’s incessant noise, Ellen unnervingly twitched her eyebrows in frustration. Then, sitting on the opposite of her, Artemisia extended out the palm of her hand as if trying to lớn appease Ellen. “Now, now……they don’t appear khổng lồ be saying anything with ill intent.” “That’s the issue here. Children that aren’t disciplined are no different than a monkey. You have khổng lồ look at the results rather than if there is malice attached.” In response to lớn Ellen’s indignant tone, the pouted their lips in dissatisfaction. “What’s with that tone? It looks lượt thích Ellen seems to lớn be the one with the issues.” “That’s right. We’re just chatting normally, so there’s nothing wrong with that.” “There should be a limit on how much you envy those younger than you.” “If you didn’t have the realizer manifestation device, then you would just be an ordinary person.” “Bean sprouts director──” “! Wait, who the hell made up that last nickname……” As Ellen made a rattling sound by jolting up from her seat, the all smiled happily at the sight, laughing out “Kya ha” while skipping and fluttering around inside the room. “So it’s khổng lồ this extent──” Speaking out, Ellen prepared lớn invoke the realizer manifestation device──but suddenly stopped just the occasion before the launch. The moment Ellen got up, the door flew xuất hiện as a man came into the room. The man gave the impression that all of the world’s darkness had compacted itself into a human shape. He has dusky ash colored hair và a pair of eyes resembling metallic rust. Although he looked about thirty years old, the oozing sense of intimidation & dread he was emitted wouldn’t match that assumption. Sir Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott, the king of magicians who had established DEM within a single generation. “──Aah, it looks like everyone has already gathered just in time.” “Otou-sama!” The moment they saw him approach, all of the in the room flocked around Westcott all at once. “Have you finished your work?” “Hey, listen Ellen here is being terrible.” “Yeah, we haven’t done anything wrong, but she’s throwing false accusations at us.” “She’ll throw a hissy fit at the slightest inconvenience in her life.” “Her appearance is a bean sprout, but her brain is like a gorilla.” “Who is……!” This time she couldn’t restrain herself. With a roar, an invisible voluntary territory expanded from Ellen’s body,
