Theresa looked at her.
To be honest—
It was her first time seeing a Herrscher revert back into a human.
It was simply unbelievable.
If only the Second Herrscher had been able to do the same back then.
"...I don't know."
Raiden Mei's memories of what happened afterward were somewhat hazy.

She lightly clenched her hand.
Power not for destruction, but to protect the adorable fairy.
