Nagisa: What Happened to Us Trusting Each Other?!

She stared wide-eyed at the disheveled woman in front of her, as if she had figured something out.

You absolutely cannot tell yourself; you must keep it from yourself.

They also need to swap bodies.

It still needs to be carried out by Aye.

There is only one thing that meets all three conditions.

"You're going to attack the Prison Barrier?!"

Upon hearing this, Yotsuba Mahiro was taken aback.

How could you be so clever and guess it so easily?!

"Why?! You promised me you wouldn't attack the Prison Barrier!"

Natsuki Minamiya grabbed his collar, pulling him back and causing him to stumble. Her questioning voice rose eight octaves.

I never expected that Natsuki -chan's grip was so strong.

That means he's currently using Aye's body; otherwise, Natsuki Minamiya would have jumped up and grabbed him by the collar.

"Answer me! Yotsuba Mahiro, what do you take the trust between us for?!"

Natsuki Minamiya's words, like those of a nightingale, are filled with tears of blood.

Seeing her like this, Mahiro opened his mouth, as if he wanted to answer.

However, before he could even utter a word, a ten-meter-long whip wreathed in flames lashed out from the sky.

Swish--

The whip had actually bound Natsuki Minamiya tightly.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely painful expression appeared on Natsuki Minamiya's face, and her figure vanished instantly.

Everyone was stunned.

No one knew what had happened to Natsuki Minamiya; she simply vanished as soon as she was bound with a whip?

Mahiro looked at Gada, who was holding a flaming whip, with a puzzled expression. The latter shrugged, indicating that it had nothing to do with her.

She had been holding back her strength during her battle with Natsuki Minamiya.

Even when dealing with the Rheingold, he relied on his own physical skills without using his familiars; otherwise, how could he have lasted so long in front of her?

However, the next second, a very powerful explosion suddenly came from the distance of Itogami Island.

Everyone instinctively looked in that direction, only to see dazzling lightning tear through the silent night.

Now, Mahiro understood why Natsuki Minamiya's clone had disappeared.

Because--

The Prison Barrier has been opened.

On the other side of Itogami Island.

The lingering magic of the lightning still lingered in the air.

On the previously empty sea, an ancient castle, the size of an island, slowly emerged.

That was the true form of the Prison Barrier.

A bridge extends from the castle gate, connecting it to Itogami Island.

At this moment, Aya Sengakuji, who was inhabiting Yotsuba Mahiro's body, was looking at the castle in front of her. For the first time, an unusual light appeared in her usually calm and dark eyes.

"Natsuki Minamiya, wait for me, I will soon be able to free you from that eternal dream!"

Aye murmured softly.

Beta, however, crossed his arms and said with dissatisfaction:

"Although Mahiro has asked me and Lord Alpha to assist you in completing this mission, don't even think about using Mahiro's body to do anything strange!"

Alpha, dressed in a black, tight-fitting combat suit, didn't speak, but her eyes clearly conveyed the same meaning.

She will keep an eye on this woman!

After appearing in the real world, Est followed Alpha, not wanting to be used by this woman.

Therefore, the lightning that just broke through the prison was merely one of Yotsuba Mahiro's abilities, a replica of a familiar.

But Aye smiled and slowly turned around, saying:

"Oh? Strange? What would I do with this body? My husband and I are already of one mind and understand each other's bodies very well, so why would I do something so unnecessary?"

"You!"

Beta gritted her teeth in anger.

It's infuriating! Why can't something so enviable happen to her?

Why did this despicable woman Aya Sengakuji, have to be the victim?!

She also wants to experience Mahiro -sama's body!

Although I've experienced this many times before, I've never experienced a mind swap like this before!

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Beta was so jealous he was practically grinding his teeth to powder.

"Alright, I know about your relationship with Mahiro, and I won't use Mahiro's body to do anything evil, but the mission is more important right now."

Alpha stepped in at the opportune moment to smooth things over.

Beta turned his head away, gave a cold snort, and ignored Aye.

Aya Sengakuji turned around, gazed at the huge, ancient castle, and smiled slightly:

"Yes, rescuing Natsuki Minamiya is more important right now."

With a slight smile, Aye stepped onto the bridge and led the group step by step toward the interior of the castle.

How many steps are needed to save Natsuki Minamiya?

The answer is four.

First, forcibly open the spatial barrier of the Prison Barrier.

Second, kill all the criminals inside.

Third, let Aya Sengakuji retrieve the Dark Oath Grimoire and forcibly break Natsuki Minamiya's contract with the demon.

Fourth, appease her. If she really wants a prison, then Mahiro can reconstruct the Prison Barrier.

However, Mahiro appeared just as they were about to proceed to the second step.

Still with Gada.

"Natsuki Minamiya's clone has disappeared," Mahiro immediately said.

Aye nodded.

"Natsuki Minamiya's normal. As the prison's guardian, if something happens to the prison, the clones she leaves behind outside will naturally be unable to maintain their positions."

"And what about you? What's the situation now?"

Shinji Mahiro around and found that he didn't see Alpha and Beta, only Est was left behind, keeping an eye on Aye.

"Heh, your two men have already gone to prison to deal with the criminals; they should be back soon..."

The words were finished.

They all immediately turned around to look.

It wasn't because Alpha and the others had returned, but because they had met an old acquaintance.

"Oh~ it's been a long time, my dear friend, and Your Highness the Third True Ancestor, did you come here especially to welcome me?"

The man opened his arms and walked towards them step by step.

He had blond hair and was dressed in a well-fitting white suit.

Who else could it be besides Vatler, who was imprisoned?

However, he was dragging a woman along at the moment, or rather, a woman that both Mahiro and Aye were very familiar with.

"I never expected that Giulio Cilauddi would become your food source. I always thought you were a one-man sex man, but it turns out you're a two-way plug, Vatler."

Mahiro spoke indifferently.

He only glanced at Ji Liule, and that glance happened to meet Ji Liule's eyes, who was still breathing.

The two gazed at each other for a moment, then Ji Liule closed her eyes.

Mahiro also looked away.

He didn't have much affection for this woman, but she was passable, and one of the few he could talk to.

I just never expected to be eaten by that guy Vatler.

After hearing his implication, Vatler realized what he meant and even very gentlemanly handed the Giulio to them.

"Oh, you mean the courtesans and prostitutes at the Quartash Theater? They weren't very good. If Your Majesty Mahiro wants them, I can return them to you."

Upon hearing this, Gada's eyes turned completely cold.

"Vatler, you're asking for it!"

Instantly, the magic power surrounding Gada surged.

Although she wasn't very familiar with the name Ji Liule Qi Laodi, she had heard of it; he was one of the vampires under her command.

She wouldn't interfere if other vampires were sharing a meal, or if it was among family members.

But Vatler is a follower of the Lost Warlord, feeding on the vampires under her command.

And right in front of her!

How can we tolerate this!

"Come out, Xiuhtecuhtli!"

The magic transformed into magma that could incinerate everything, spreading out from beneath her feet, making her entire form resemble an embodiment of magma.

A powerful surge of magical energy instantly swept through the entire Prison Barrier.

If the Fourth Progenitor's familiars are mostly in the shape of animals, then Gada's familiars appear in the form of nature, such as the Cloud Familiar, the Skeleton Monster of Space, and the Magma Monster of Flames.

The magma erupted, spreading outwards from its center, like Gada's wrath, threatening to devour everything.

When Vatler saw Gada unleash her familiars, he burst into maniacal laughter.

"Hahaha, this is fantastic, absolutely wonderful! Grandma, let me, Vatler, witness the power of your familiars!"

"Come forth, Utpala! Sagara! Upananda!..."

Vatler frantically summoned his familiars, and the magical energy fluctuations of each one far surpassed those of the past, approaching the level of a True Ancestor!

Dimitriye Vatler was a madman, a madman who never knew the immensity of the world.

He is a madman who yearns to become the True Ancestor and craves the blood of the True Ancestor!

However, Gada simply watched calmly as Vatler summoned his familiars.

Only after the man had completely summoned all his familiars did she wave her hand and say softly:

"Burn him to ashes."

The lava seemed to possess a will, surging forward in an overwhelming torrent, colliding with Vatler's serpentine familiar.

As a result, Vatler was swallowed up.

It was mercilessly burned to ashes by Gada's familiars.

Clearly, he underestimated Gada, and underestimated this true ancestor who had lived for countless years.

Looking at the remaining ashes on the ground, Gada pouted, Mahiro.
