Fujimaru Tachibana once again showed off her cheat-like side!
No one knew why she was immune to Gorgon's Mystic Eyes, yet the petrification effect of those eyes did not surprise people in the real world. If anything, they had a feeling of, "Of course."

"Unless she discards Tiamat's authority, Gorgon can only directly harm Ritsuka through physical means."
Upon hearing that, Fujimaru Tachibana instinctively took out the
