The witch beneath the moon was so enchanting that her song seemed to make even the twinkling starlight accompany her. At the very center of that Golden Stage, no one could resist the witch's charm.

Shade even found himself wondering whether the Mystic Lock had originally been created for the sake of performance.

But no matter how beautiful the song was, it eventually came to an end. Shade's Miracle Technique - The Sound of Music had already fully recorded Miss Benanis's voice.

As the scenery of the Mystic Lock faded from around them, the ceiling once again covered their heads, and the Gas Lamps along the walls were relit one by one, the four audience members in the Mystic Lock's seating area applauded excitedly.

The witch gracefully lifted the edge of her skirt and bowed to them onstage. As Shade applauded, he wondered how that ancient god would view this song after he opened the Time Key.

In his opinion, no song could have been more suitable to offer to that god. Fortunately, he had already obtained the only answer.

Opening the Mystic Lock had still drained the witch considerably, even though it had not been used in battle. Since the perfume in the Perfume Bottle of Desire had peculiar side effects, Shade did not take it out.

They met again backstage, and Shade spared no words in praising her. Miss Benanis feigned composure, but being praised by a peculiar man who could captivate other witches was immensely pleasing to her. The witch held back her smile and bid farewell to Shade and the other two alongside Miss Lathers.

It was already late at night. The performance had officially ended, and everyone had accomplished their goals. Having witnessed Miss Benanis's new ability, Margaret also resolved to become her apprentice.
