Natsuki Minamiya was somewhat speechless at Aye Kanase's mocking look earlier.
The reason she had so readily released that beastman was not because she was as foolish as Aye Kanase claimed, trusting others so easily after living so long. Rather, she knew that even if she did nothing after releasing him, Aye would make a move.
She just had not expected Aye Kanase's method to be so surprising. Was this the power Elysia had given Aye?
"...The abilities of a Pseudo-Herrscher."
Hearing Elysia and Aye's words, Natsuki Minamiya grew curious.
Elysia had previously mentioned that she was the Herrscher of Humanity. Did Aye Kanase's power also belong to a Herrscher?
"Is Natsuki interested? Would you like to become my servant Herrscher? My promise to you will always stand!"
Noticing Natsuki Minamiya's curiosity, Elysia took Nagisa Akatsuki's hand and walked over.
"But becoming a servant also means losing your witch powers!"

It would be a lie to say she was not tempted. Natsuki Minamiya would not find it regrettable to cast off her identity as a witch. If she had met Elysia before becoming a witch, she definitely would have chosen Elysia without hesitation.
But now, if she chose to lose her witch powers... all her previous efforts would come to nothing.

"Hmph, what an idiot. So ignorant! What is there to think about?"
Aye Kanase could hardly stand Natsuki Minamiya's hesitation, looking somewhat exasperated at her failure to appreciate the opportunity. Lady Elysia had personally invited her, and she could shed her identity as a witch, yet she still wanted to think about it.
Considering how this fairy lady treated Natsuki Minamiya, she might even hand over
