It's a really nice day.

When I got out of bed and stretched out, I heard a noise with Sharan at my neck.

……

At the end of the silver chain is the inverse scales of Ixis.

That beautiful silver chain was also prepared by Ixis.

I feel kind of yummy to think that maybe you've been preparing me for quite some time.

If you touch it gently, the color of the scales changes slightly so that it beats.

Sakura-colored reverse scales appear to react that way only when they are touched by the person and their connection.

Reverse scales that you can only give to your opponent once in your life.

A sign that Ixis chose me.

I'm happy to think of it, my cheeks unwittingly loose.

I just kissed her all the time.

Around the door, I noticed Claude was there.

"Wow, if you were Claude, call me!

"Excuse me. I knocked, but I didn't hear back. Is that... the inverse scale I got from Ixis?

If you rush the scales back to your chest, Claude will apologize to you uncomfortably.

"Uh, well... yeah"

"Good for you"

If you turn red and snort, Claude smiles flutteringly and blesses you.

"Will you be happy?

"Naturally. I am Deacon Hilda, but at the same time I am your Deacon. If Mako is happy, it's a pleasure for me."

That's what Claude tells me. He helps me with my morning schedule.

Because Claude has told me to do it today, although it was something that Maria was doing these days.

"... I am sincerely glad you are the Lord"

Claude tells me that when I'm done tying my hair clean.

"All of a sudden, what's going on?"

"That's what I've been thinking. Master Hilda owes me this favor. But I am grateful to you, too. Since you arrived, everything has started to change, both the mansion and the boy."

If you ask, Claude speaks in a quiet, gentle voice.

"Meiko reached out to us in a different way than Master Hilda. I've always wanted to say thank you."

Claude says while applying makeup to me.

"Claude, the way you put it, it's not like I'm going anywhere today."

"I've had a strange heartbeat this morning... maybe I'm nervous too"

If you say so somewhat lightly, Claude clouds his face anxiously.

Claude is worried.

Claude was against what I was about to do until the end.

"We're going to the other world tomorrow, and we're coming back, right?

I don't know where or who's listening to it as it's my room, so I'll include it out of the question and make it bright.

"... right? Meiko's right."

Claude smiles a little relieved.

On the last finish, Claude put a red on my lips.

Today was - with Vice - the day of the showdown.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

After breakfast, call Vice to the tallest rooftop of the mansion, that place that is usually locked.

Today is the day of Elemente's blessing, I promised Vice.

"Dear Meiko, I'll hand you this handkerchief first."

"Thanks Vice"

Receive a handkerchief for ritual use from Vice's hand.

I don't see any shards of evil in the vice smiling.

It brought my head when my guilt swelled over what I was about to do.

Climb the stairs carefully.

Where Hilda was thrust down before.

Where I became Hilda.

Though thrilled, he steps out thinking he's okay.

I have Samuel Kun, Meir's serpent, in my shadow, invisible on my side but Ixis and Meir were waiting for me.

Open the door and run the moment you reach the roof and distance yourself from the vice.

When I saw Ixis show up behind my back, Vice glanced at me.

"Master Mako, why is Mr. Ixis here?"

Speak up like Vice blames you.

It was originally a promise that I was the only one to bless this Elemente.

Behind me is Ixis.

So the door behind the vise is Mere, though invisible from my position.

He planted a snake in Vice's shadow, and yet was responsible for catching it when he fled.

By the way, I only called in Vice here.

Till's waiting in his room.

Because I can't wait to be used with powerful magic on Vice's orders.

I ask the Eagle Beast Man/Feather to keep an eye on you.

Though I didn't tell you what was going on, I had also asked Rabbit Beast Man/Betty and Cat Beast Man/Dio to help me take care of Till and keep him out of there.

In front of me, a vise that frowns.

The face is still neat.

Blonde, empty eyes.

The good standing is like a prince in the furrowed hair.

I recall the painting that Ixis showed me, saying beforehand that it was a portrait of Tilia.

It depicts a beautifully faced woman with slightly wavy hair hanging down to her waist.

Although there are differences in age and gender in their eyes, nasal muscles, and overall atmosphere.

It does look a lot like Vice.

Beautiful butterfly-like feathers on Tilia's back.

Apparently, the elves have feathers that are inherently made of light.

Hilda, who is a half elf, or not in Pio or Quo, only genuine elves had wings that were intricately intersecting in color.

Those ears aren't somewhat overhanging, either, like Hilda's, but they're different in terms of length.

... None of the vices in front of me.

After this, I notice myself wanting to think that Vice is not Tilia.

I knew I wasn't used to being suspicious.

But I am.

I was here today, inquiring about Vice - ready to say goodbye.

"Vice... you, Tilia, right?"

Grab a handkerchief with both hands.

I felt a strange feeling in the palm of my hand.

"What are you talking about? What's Tilia?

If you say that directly to the stand-alone, Vice looks decent and tilts his neck.

"It's no use blurring. The proof is up that you're Tilia. You were going to break your vows by replacing Hilda's contents with Mako's."

Ixis gazes at Vice and mouths.

"Vice, you've been after me, haven't you? It's so sad and unfortunate, but I can't keep you alive."

Spin words to squeeze them out slowly.

Vice looked surprised at this.

"Surprised. I can't believe Master Mako said that. Oh, well, you moved to fall for me, which Meir hates."

Vice squeaks with a sad face.

I think that look is an act, but my chest hurts.

"Do you believe what the assassin Mere says more than I do?

Vice asks with his moisturizing eyes.

My heart flickers for a moment at an unspoilt, pure looking appeal.

"The assassin is a liar, Master Meiko. You are deceived."

"I'm sorry, Vice. I believe in Meir."

Vice or Mere, as either side is telling the truth.

In that case, even if you were fooled.

It seemed natural for me to choose Meir to return the favor or kindness.

"Meiko is going to kill me."

"... yes"

Vice says with a spicy face.

It took a lot of courage to snort.

Grab a fist tight and stare straight at Vice and declare.

"I'm disillusioned, Master Meiko. Can I go home now? I was looking forward to the day when you would give me Elemente's blessing."

Turn your eyes to contempt, throw them away.

Vice tried to turn his heel back.

"... I won't let you do that"

"What?"

As soon as Vice laid his hand on the door, Vice raised his face to the voice coming down from overhead.

What came down there was a sphere of light.

What has fallen is a ball made of the ancient magic Blessing of the Holy Sun (Heilich Zorne Campanella) that purifies and touches the demon, making him a good man.

It sucked all the way into the vice.

Horse beast man Elliot, embraced by Ouga and waiting in the sky, slowly lowers his foot to the roof.

"Answer all your questions honestly. Not answering is a bad thing."

Elliot turns to Vice, releasing words.

This magic had the power to make the operator assume that what he said was right, and the power to make him obey.

"Vice is Tilia, right?"

"... No, you don't"

To Elliot's question, Vice, who was looking up, turned his face to the front.

Then turn back in the direction where I and Ixis are.

"I'm Vice. I don't know Tilia."

Clearly, Vice speaks.

I didn't feel like I could see a clear color in those eyes, like when Ixis and the others had been operated on before.

"You also planted an assassin or poison on me... is that Vice?

"I didn't do that. It's all Meir did to make me guilty."

Vice answers my question.

"What do you mean... no surgery? No, but sure."

Ouga raises a bewildered voice.

"Well, Elliot's still immature. Something like that."

Mouth it like Elliot told me to.

I threw myself away like that and left Ouga's side.

"It's the only way. Hey, there's a hidden snake. Hold him down."

It's as if in a dignified manner as the ruler of this place, if Elliot speaks, Meir's snake rises from the shadow of Vice.

And I immediately restrained Vice.

"Augusto, I'm going to use all of Elliot's magic to make moves on this guy. I only have about three hours left, so use it properly and effectively. I'll be down as soon as I'm done, so take it, okay?

"Okay."

Elliott's - or Ouga snorts at Nicole's words.

"No way, Dad... is that it?

"Fool or Ixis, this poor individual, who may be white everywhere. You think I look like your great father, the Black Dragon?"

Glimpsing at the squeaky Ixis, Nicole-kun mouths as irritated.

You said the same thing to me before.

Even with Elliot's appearance, Nicole told me what happened to that too big an attitude.

As much as I was willing to hide it, I argued too much that the cohesive atmosphere was Nicole.

"Dye all the colors white -" Blessings of the Holy Sun (Heilich Zorne Campanella) "

Nicole puts her hand on Vice and taps directly into the magic.

White fluctuations wrapped the vise, and the light disappeared so that it would fit inside the vise.

"... Huh!

"Dad!"

Ouga takes the fluttering Nicole.

"Answer the questions of all who are here without falsehood. You're the one who tried to kill Meiko, the bride."

"No."

To the bitter words of Nicole, Vice nevertheless returned the words of denial.

"... what do you mean? I'm not sure this guy was the killer, Augusto."

"It should be."

Nicole gives a confused voice.

Ouga seemed confused, too.

"There's no way this ole can screw up magic. I mean, isn't this guy really lying or you don't think he's lying? Or..."

When Nicole tried to talk about the last possibility.

Vice fell, as if all of a sudden his whole body had lost its power.

"Vice!?

"Meir, have you done something!

The confused voices of me and Ixis overlap.

"No, I didn't do anything. I was just holding him!

While Meir answered Ixis, she opened the door and came into the roof.

"Hey Augusto. It's not good, I'm stuck..."

Nicole speaks, squeezing out a voice that is going to fall asleep.

"It's... it's probably a remotely operated magic doll"

"Is it true, Father!

Ouga panics at Nicole's voice.

"Suck the magic out of Vice!

Meir commands the serpent to suck away Vice's magic.

The noise ran on Vice's body and the brake gradually grew.

Eventually a doll with Vice's face appeared there.

"What is this all about!?

Scream unexpectedly.

In front of you, a precisely crafted doll that looks just like a Vice.

On glassy eyeballs, nothing is visible, joints on finger joints.

The same body of the magic doll that Jimmy the Ghost used before was there.

"No way...... Till is more Tilia, not Vice!

It was Ixis that I realized as soon as possible.

Use the space from the rooftop of the mansion as you panicked and move.

"Meir, Meiko and Dad - please Elliot!

Ouga lays down on the floor Elliot's body with Nicole's consciousness.

"Okay, I'll take care of it!

Confirming that Meir had undertaken, Ouga also disappeared into space to follow after Ixis.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

"Nicole, are you okay, Elliot?

After Ixis and Ouga were gone.

If you kneel at the side of Elliot's body laid on the floor, Nicole in that body opens her eyes thinly.

"Is that me asking if Elliot's okay, or... am I worried too? Bride."

"Both of them."

Nicole laughs weakly when I say it.

The eye lid seemed to be quite heavy and the eyes were almost closed.

"I just used too much magic... Sleep and it will heal. I just don't have Elliot's consciousness, so I have to stay with this body for a while... Olivia pisses me off..."

"Nicole, thank you. You worked hard for me, didn't you?"

Nicole laughs all the time just because of her mouth.

"I just acted for my boys. Later... wake up if you're thankful... you tell this guy. This is the one who asked me to help you."

"Elliot did?

Yeah, and Nicole speaks.

"I hate using my powers. But he wanted to help you. Damn... I don't hate idiots like that"

Nicole seems to enjoy herself without a heart.

"Well, I just raised it, and I'm no match for my sons. He's my son anyway. They take you, they despair... that's what I'm looking forward to."

Nicole, maybe there's something good about it.

This is the arrow tip I thought it was.

In the end, Nicole was everywhere.

But you've definitely done quite a bit of imposition for me.

There was sweat on his forehead.

Her body looked unnecessarily weak because she was a luxurious Elliot.

If you at least try to wipe the sweat, and put the handkerchief you had in your hand on Nicole's head.

Suddenly Nicole opens her eyes.

"Wait a minute... what do you... have!

"Shit, Nicole!?

He grabs my wrist all the time.

Nicole forced her torso to open her hand holding my handkerchief.

"What, what's wrong?

Mere, who was on our side and was just watching what happened, kneels down to us as if surprised by Nicole's behavior.

Nicole took the handkerchief out of my hand and has taken a serious look at the palm of her hand.

In the middle of the palm, a small scar.

Speaking of which, when I grabbed the handkerchief earlier, it tickled.

Apparently, it scratched at that time.

Maybe if you look at the handkerchief, the bright red needle remains stabbed.

"Wow, what I did was stick a needle in him!?

"Hey, Meiko! You gave your enemies blood!?

Nicole yells at me all of a sudden, thinking I'm fucked.

"Blood, about what!?

Nicole tells me and I'm confused for a moment.

Then I recall embroidering a handkerchief on Vice with seeping thread of blood.

Speaking of which, Nicole tongued loudly.

"An idiot! Magic resides in blood and vows. The act of giving blood from yourself is like telling me to curse it directly!

"Huh!?

Rarely Nicole looks in a hurry, raising her voice out loud.

Instructed Meir to cast a magical Zern of dark attributes, seeing and touching what he could not see against me.

When Meir zells me, a dark light close to purple envelops me.

Suspicious tattoo-like texts appear all over your body.

This is - I notice with my eyes that it looks like a special magic formation.

It's like crawling around your body.

It was pulsating, eroding me and going.

"Hey, what's this?!?

"Damn, you can't stop it!

Nicole bites off her own fingers a thousand times.

I pushed my bloody thumb against the scratched spot on my hand.

"Repeat it!" Lurian Li Cuone El Grante "!

"Uh -" Lurian Li Cuone El Grante "!

If you read Nicole's words, the blood will twitch and fever.

I found some action added to the magic formation that turned like poison to my body.

It's as if Nicole and her senses are connected, passing on feelings similar to hurry.

"Listen carefully. Trust my boys! Whatever happens. I'm sure they'll take you..."

Suddenly Nicole's voice goes away.

What? The moment I thought of this, the scenery and everything fumbled.

Instead of the feel of Nicole's hand, I don't even know if I was sitting or standing.

It can be vague up or down, and it's painful to get your chest stirred up when you go around.

What the hell......

The whining words, they don't sound like voices.

The sound had also disappeared from around at some point.

And the colors disappeared.

I get wrapped up in a floating feeling that I don't know where I am.

I feel like my body is being grabbed and pulled by something.

- As it were, consciousness was drunk by darkness.
