I, Matou Sakura, Third of the Flame-Chasers!

Only Kuzuki Alice had a mission, but since she was still alive and was not her subordinate, there was naturally no reward.

Like Wen Bing Yong Li, the sisters Zhou Laiwei Jia and Zhou Lailu Jia had no missions either.

Oh, right—Shizuki Koshirou's death had given her one lottery draw.

Although she had not done it herself, Beowulf had already been subdued by her. By the system's judgment, Beowulf killing Shizuki Koshirou counted as her completing the mission.

She now had three ordinary lottery draws in total.

Besides that, Aozaki Akiko had been a mandatory mission. It had now been completed, and the reward was the same Advanced Lottery as before.

The card in her hand at this moment was the reward from that Advanced Lottery.

A Character Summon Card, from... Dona Dona World.

Looking at the cute yet alluring white-haired girl on the card—Pernor—Matou Sakura could not help falling silent.

Pernor could be said to have been her favorite character when she played the game, without question.

She looked expressionless, yet was a white-haired loli overflowing with charm—who could possibly not love her? But after reaching Pernor's bad ending without checking a guide, watching her favorite character drown in that sort of place, Sakura had completely lost it at the time and punched herself straight into the hospital! Fuck!

Looking at the cute girl on the card, Matou Sakura's expression was complicated.

Whenever she looked at Pernor on the card, that disgusting bad ending kept surfacing in her mind. It felt like she had swallowed a pile of shit—so revolting she could barely stand it!

Sitting at the edge of the bed, she remained silent for several minutes before finally crushing the card in her hand.

This time, she would protect Pernor!

Just as she had promised Griseo!

The shattered card erupted with countless dreamlike motes of light, and a petite figure slowly appeared before her.

She had the adorable face of a young child. Her white hair was not entirely white; the inner layer had been dyed a cute pink.

A simple strappy dress revealed her slender limbs, while delicate Mary Jane shoes adorned her small, cute feet.

"My dear Sister?"

Having just arrived in this world, Pernor's beautiful pink eyes were plainly bewildered. The seemingly quiet girl tilted her head slightly and repeated herself.

"My dear Sister?"

"Yes, I'm here."

Matou Sakura answered softly, then reached out and embraced the small, adorable child before her.

Her ample chest pressed against Pernor's nose. The girl struggled slightly, lifting her face free from that soft embrace.

"My dear Sister, do you want to do X with Pernor?" The girl's cute voice echoed beside her ear, yet her words left Sakura completely dumbfounded.

"Huh?"

Was something wrong with this child's head?

"My dear Sister doesn't like Pernor?"

Pernor blinked, then pressed her ear against Matou Sakura's ample chest.

"When My dear Sister hugs Pernor, her heart beats very fast."

The girl showed a cute smile, her slender arms wrapping tightly around her sister's waist.

My dear Sister likes me, and I like My dear Sister too.

If that was the case, then doing X was nothing strange, right?

The bold girl raised her head and, before her sister had time to react, kissed those soft cherry-colored lips.

Pernor's nimble tongue easily slipped past her sister's teeth, entwining tightly with her soft tongue.

At some point, the hands that had been holding her sister's waist had loosened. They slipped beneath her robe, gently caressing her lush body.

She slowly released those soft lips, drawing out a silver thread between them.

A thin haze of moisture seemed to fill the girl's pink eyes.

"My dear Sister... let's do X together with Pernor."

By now, Matou Sakura's consciousness had gradually begun to sink beneath Pernor's skillful advances. Though she could still hear Pernor's words, her earlier thoughts had vanished. She wanted to do X with Pernor as well.

And so, the cute girl who had only just arrived in this world effortlessly pushed down her beloved sister.

While the two sisters were tightly entangled, Aozaki Akiko had already learned the truth of the entire matter from Zhou Lailu Jia.

That person—or rather, the girl she had seen before losing consciousness—had ordered her sister, Aozaki Touko, to abduct Alice. Her purpose had been to use Alice to threaten Akiko and force the complete awakening of the Fifth Magic.

However, Alice had never been needed. The intense agony caused by Shizuki Koshirou's bones piercing through her body had awakened the Fifth Magic instead. At the time, the pain had rendered her consciousness unconscious, and the Fifth Magic had taken control of her entire body. Only after that person beat her nearly to death did the Fifth Magic fall dormant, allowing her to regain control of her body.

However, her body had been left in an extremely terrible condition because of it.

According to Zhou Lailu Jia, nearly every bone in her body had been shattered at the time, and her internal organs had suffered extensive damage. If that person had not intervened to save her, merely surviving would have been her greatest fortune—not being able to speak and even get out of bed like she could now.

As for the Fifth Magic...

It was gone.

She had now fully remembered everything that had happened before. The Fifth Magic had been extracted from her body by that person. In other words, she was no longer a Magician—not even a mage.

She could no longer sense the existence of her Magic Circuits. And without Magic Circuits, where was a mage supposed to get Magic Power?

And without Magic Power, how could she use magecraft?

Could a mage who could not use magecraft still be called a mage?

For her, the path of a mage had reached its end.

At this moment, Aozaki Akiko did not feel sad at all. Instead, she felt immensely relieved.

If her grandfather had not suddenly revoked her sister Aozaki Touko's inheritance of Magic and handed it to her instead, she would never have embarked on the path of becoming a mage—or even a Magician.

Her dream had always been to become an ordinary high school student!

Not a mage in this chaotic hidden world, where people had to kill from time to time!

Now that she no longer had Magic Circuits and could no longer become a mage or a Magician, she would be able to live a free life from now on.

Thinking of this, Aozaki Akiko could not help but smile in delight.

She no longer had to heed those mages' rules, nor did she have to be called an idiot by Aozuki every so often! This was wonderful! She was free!

Aozaki Akiko cried tears of joy, crystal-clear tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes and leaving Zhou Lailu Jia, standing nearby, utterly dumbfounded.

Had this child found losing her Magic too hard to accept?

Why was she laughing one moment and crying the next?

Watching tears continue to pour from Aozaki Akiko's eyes, Zhou Lailu Jia pondered briefly before slowly stepping forward and coming up behind her.

She raised a hand and gently placed it on Aozaki Akiko's shoulder, saying softly, "Akiko, you don't need to be sad. It's fine if your Magic is gone. It might even be a good thing."

"I'm not sad."

Aozaki Akiko wiped away the happy tears at the corners of her eyes and looked back at Zhou Lailu Jia with a beaming smile.

All of a sudden, she felt that this person was not quite so annoying after all.

"I'm really happy!"

"This..."

Looking at the tear tracks Aozaki Akiko had not wiped away and her somewhat strange smile, Zhou Lailu Jia wondered if she had gone crazy.

Should she go find Touko and have her take a look at her?

After all, she was her sister!

A Sultry Girl

Matou Sakura looked at the girl in front of her, who was also looking back at her, her feelings impossibly complicated.

She had clearly wanted to treat Pernor as a younger sister, just like Griseo, yet she had never expected to lose to the other girl's masterful techniques! And she had been the first to lose herself, too!

Even now, Pernor's strange smile from that time filled her with shame!

"My dear Sister is so cute~"

Pernor tightly hugged her dear Sister around the waist, rubbing her soft cheek hard against her dear Sister's even softer snowy peaks.

"Pernor loves My dear Sister the most!"

"Pernor..."

Watching Pernor fool around on her body, Matou Sakura's face flushed crimson, and she had no idea what to say anymore.

She felt that after this, she would be completely unable to refuse Pernor.

It was not as though she disliked that feeling, but she had always regarded Pernor as her younger sister.

The Griseo she had treated as a younger sister.

Aahhh!!

How was she supposed to face her innocent, adorable Griseo after meeting her again in the future?!!

If Aponia found out about this, she would absolutely give her a Mind Lightning Strike without another word!

"Alright, stop moving!"

She hurriedly wrapped her arms around Pernor's waist. If Pernor kept going, she would definitely start feeling it again!

She knew Pernor was highly skilled in that regard, but was she not a little too good at it?!

And besides...

Looking at the inner side of Pernor's pale thigh, faint traces of blood still remained.

Pernor had not reached the end?

But add{1@/0~+1$&7~&4-5 $@notes|symbols$9%%said*84}9#-8 those... count as one>zero$①-⑦%④>five%wine#④++⑨@⑧-

Forget it. She was just asking for trouble.

No matter what, she would always like Pernor!

She would take good care of Pernor, just as she had taken care of Griseo.

Seeing the tenderness in her dear Sister's eyes, Pernor could not help but smile.

The adorable girl stretched out her slender arms and gently wrapped them around her dear sister's neck.

Cheek pressed to cheek, they felt each other's warmth.

"Pernor loves My dear Sister the most." "And I love Pernor the most too."

The weather was lovely today. Jeanne had finally stopped wearing that set of light armor meant for battle and changed into the clothes Zhou Laiwei Jia had prepared for her.

In the end, she had not made it in time last night.

But that was only natural. The saying that flying was faster than running was not just empty talk.

So, after Jeanne had run halfway there last night and saw Matou Sakura and the others flying back through the air, she turned around and ran back as well.

So there was a reason she had been called an idiot.

"Has Lord Matou Sakura not come out yet?"

As Jeanne ate the delicious pastries, she turned her gaze toward Matou Sakura's room.

"Doesn't look like it."

Aozaki Touko sat beside Jeanne. She was far more relaxed now than she had been last night.

It was finally settled.

After seeing Aozaki Akiko get brutally beaten by that person last night, she suddenly felt grateful to that dead old man for stripping her of the right to inherit the Magic and giving it to that idiot Akiko instead.

If she were still the heir to the Fifth Magic, then she would have been the one brutally beaten by that person last night!

At the thought of that idiot's battered body, Aozaki Touko felt afraid.
