Lead the other world.

The consciousness I was losing for a moment went back to normal and opened my eyes.

And breathed in the sight of spreading.

In front of Takumi, who opened her eyes, there was a blonde girl in goslol who still had a spicy look on her face but whose consciousness returned and lay on her cot, and Iris, who was sitting in a chair leaning against her wand with a look that seemed tired and unable to afford to use considerable concentration and magic to continue to heal Kuido as well.

Then, next door, Sora was awake a little late.

(... you managed to come back)

Takumi and Sola returned safely from the world of Noah's heart.

But there is one girl who stares at Takumi with her jito eyes next door stroking her chest in peace when she returns like that.

(…… Loricon)

(Huh!? No, no, no, no. Anyone would be surprised if they suddenly did that, wouldn't they?)

(Hmm... well, I'll leave you to that. Ma, jokes aside, good luck. Takumi)

Jito, the eyes haven't changed much, but yes, Sola, speaking in her heart, was smiling kindly. Once again, Sola paid a heartfelt tribute to Takumi.

What was in Noah's world of mind was Noah's personality at an early age, which was sealed by the power of the Devil's Sword Cucia.

From what I heard about Takumi and Noah spending the night on the lookout at Metes, we both had a slightly unpleasant feeling.

So when I ran to Noah on the verge of dying, from Noah's emotions filled with hatred I felt and the Devil's Sword Cucia I didn't have, the two of them thought that the destruction of the Devil's Sword Cucia was the trigger that created that hatred.

But the blonde vampire who lost her left arm after a hole in Noah's belly when she was a child realized later that it was Noah's family's revenge and that the emotions of hatred were coming from it.

(……)

That's not all.

Given the fact that it had been sealed in that white tower for years before her eyes, Sora couldn't find the words to call it in.

There was a time when Sola herself lived in the Spiritual Knife, but I'm not sure how long she slept because she wasn't aware of Sola herself at that time.

In comparison, Noah, who had been sealed for years with feelings of hatred in a state of consciousness, did not have the courage to talk and caged his mouth.

But Takumi was different.

Takumi faced seriously without distracting herself from Noah, and while she thought it might be beautiful in herself, she told her without hesitation that it was not the kind of word that was the beauty of the moment.

That definite thought of Takumi gave light to Noah's eyes, which were cloudy with hatred and various emotions, so that Noah, who had only seen behind him, could move forward.

(Really, it's amazing. Takumi)

(……? Thanks?)

Yes. Though slightly confused by Sora's sudden words, Takumi distracted herself and spoke to the two people in front of her.

"He's back safe."

Then he laughed at Takumi even though Iris was tired and unable to afford it when he finally realized Takumi was awake.

"Welcome back"

Takumi loosened her cheek when she saw the look on Iris's face speaking those words, once again saying she had a good companion who trusted her.

Then Takumi turned her attention to Iris again with a serious look on her face.

"Well, then, I'll go back to Fine and the others with reinforcements."

That was when Takumi stood up.

"Wait..."

To a weak but clear voice, Takumi Dasan turns her eyes to those who spoke.

"Are you..."

"Not like this... you can't beat Astarot"

It was the blonde girl in gossip who slowly woke up her body while answering that.

Takumi, who has not actually experienced the power of Astarot, certainly felt as strong as he had never seen before due to the hegemony and killings that haunted him, but he did not intend to lose.

But Takumi asked the girl, who felt there was going to be some translation from the girl's words and eyes.

"We're not going to lose... Is that also why you can't win something?

Nodding at Takumi's words, the girl replied.

"The red moon is out over Metes. Because of that, Astarot continues to be supplied with magic, and every power grows."

"Red Moon...... But can't you do anything about the moon?

Naturally, Takumi replied with a strange look that there was no way she could do this, but the girl shook her head to the side.

"That's not technically the moon. It's a phantom created by my magic..."

The three people who heard it turned their eyes round.

From the time I came to this city, I couldn't hide my surprise that the red moon that kept illuminating this city was a phantom.

"I once challenged Astalotto to battle with a contractor. But without power, the contractor was killed, and I had been under mental control for a long time by Astarot."

The three of them listened silently to the story of the girl, who began to speak with a mysterious expression.

"So in this city, I've used the magic of the phantom attributes that are supposedly contraindicated. The red moon and the mist that surrounds this city, which took me a long time to create with enormous energy, is also my magic."

At the same time that the three of them hear about it, one person, including Noah, doesn't realize its magic as a phantom, and can see how dangerous the magic of a girl contraindicated by her failure to tear it.

"But then on the day I was ordered to monitor Mr. Hans and this city was utterly destroyed, Mr. Hans realized the spiritual domination that was upon me, and the magical override brought me back to sanity. Then I went into the consciousness of my servant in Astarot and gathered information... but it was too late."

Hans, who saved me from spiritual domination, also leaned down, holding his fist with regret, the girl who knew he had fallen into Astalot's hands.

"This magic, which has been active for a long time, has gone wild and can no longer be interrupted by my will."

"Then what can I do..."

When Iris groaned so as he was halfway there, the girl who remained on her leash replied.

"Please kill me...... You can kill me if you have the magic of ice or sacred attributes that I don't have. Perhaps that will eliminate the source of magic and spirituality, and the magic runoff will stop."

"Become..."

Takumi, who breathed into the girl's words, accidentally spoke out.

Then the girl exhaled loudly once and it was the moment she looked up with a face like she was ready to be.

"Wanna!?

Sora suddenly slapped the girl in the head with her face raised.

Suddenly, without words from Takumi and Iris calling out to her surprise, Sora, with her arms around her, was royally staring at the girl with a sharp eye.

"You won't let me die. Don't kill me easily."

The words of Sola overflowed with emotions the girl had endured.

"You're not making it easy on me! But if we don't, we'll all die. Or is there something you can do?

The girl, who tells her to scream back like that, coughs hard. And as she saw such a girl, Sora slowly opened her mouth.

Make a pact with me.

"Huh!?

"Originally, the spirits who have made a covenant with someone will receive a new life as the covenant can and die as the covenant dies. You're halfway there now, alive or dead."

Takumi, who looked sideways at Sola, who said so in such a strong tone, remained silent, but was quite surprised internally by the rare and rather strong appearance of Sola, who was usually gentle and dear.

The girl was flabbergasted to be told by Sola that she had never thought about it before, and no longer clear who she was.

But Sora's little hand held onto both shoulders of such a slightly older looking girl than herself.

"In this, I'm the one with the best wavelength with you. If you sign a contract and get a new raw one, the link with magic will disappear."

"But... I'm worth living for."

"- I won't let you tell me you won't. No one can decide what the value of a person's life is. Besides, what did Mr. Hans think saved you from spiritual domination? Isn't it because you wanted me to save you from him and live?

That's what Sola told me, and the girl who was stunned returned to me hah, remembering the last words Hans had said to herself.

"Live... Be Happy"

Even though it was spiritually dominated, the girl had become irreplaceable to Hans, who was also spiritually helped by the girl's work.

Hans, who had felt a little drawn to the fact that she had only ever been helped by a girl and had not been able to repay her anything, had a lonely grin at the end that it was finally good to help the girl.

There were no more strays in the girl. I was determined to live to the minute Hans saved me.

"Okay...... Mr. Sola. Call my name and sign the contract."

Having certainly felt the girl's determination to stare back into Sola's eyes at close range, Sola nodded and gently spinned her words with her own head on the girl's head.

"Sign with me, 'Stella'!

And with the words of the covenant, the dazzling light flooded around Sola and Stella, and the vision of Takumi and Iris, who were around them, stained bright white.
