"So, you want to initiate Holy Annihilation?"
After a long silence, Natsuki Minamiya raised her head and looked at the fairy before her. After saying so much to her, Elysia's purpose was nothing more than to make her release Aye Kanase.
And why did she want Aye Kanase released?
Natsuki truly could not think of anything else that might interest Elysia. Not even the Fourth Primogenitor, surely! Then that only left... Holy Annihilation.
"Even now... little Natsuki still doesn't trust me! Well, there's nothing I can do about that."
She was somewhat disappointed. Even at this point, Natsuki was still suspicious of her motives. Whatever she wanted to do, there was simply no need for her to use Holy Annihilation.
Holy Annihilation was merely one of her objectives, whether she chose to stop it or initiate it. She was more inclined to stop it, or help others fulfill their wishes—like Natsuki Minamiya.

Seeing Elysia's helpless, disappointed expression, Natsuki hesitated. She felt as though she had done something wrong and should not have doubted her.
But Elysia was so mysterious, so impossible to read. Wasn't it only natural for her to be suspicious? How could she possibly know what was hidden beneath that pink exterior?
After all, most pink-haired girls were black once you cut them open.
Who could guarantee that the one before her was an exception? Especially when she was this powerful.
Yet after hesitating for several seconds, Natsuki was willing to try trusting her once.
"Elysia, can you give me a guarantee?"
"Hmm? What kind of guarantee?"
Elysia was somewhat surprised by Natsuki's change in attitude.
"Don't lie to me."
"?"
That request caught her off guard. Once she understood it... she smiled. There was no need for any guarantee at all, because she had never deceived
