Amagi's Urgency

"Besides this Karl you just mentioned, you also spoke of someone named Morgana who reveres extreme depravity and freedom."

Akashi spoke up, drawing the attention of Angel Yan and Angel Zhixin. The two, who had been worried moments before, turned their gazes to Akashi.

"Is this Morgana... as dangerous as this person named Karl?"

Seeing that she had their attention, Akashi asked.

"Morgana... she spreads depraved ideologies throughout the Known Universe and has committed numerous crimes with her demon legions across it."

Angel Yan explained, then paused as if recalling something, her tone shifting.

"The reason we were able to discover your arrival so quickly was because we detected demons descending here. Initially, I came to clear out the demons, but when we arrived, we found that you had already eliminated all the descending demons!"

Akashi nodded thoughtfully.

"So... those ugly monsters I killed with the anti-air guns were the demons you're talking about?"

"That's right! After the last war between the Angel Legion and the demon legions, the demon legions suffered a crushing defeat. They are currently consolidating their forces and lying low, so the demon squads they send out aren't actually very strong. It's easy for you to deal with them, but for ordinary people, it might not be so simple!"

As she spoke, Angel Yan sighed and looked towards Azi outside the door, who was spacing out while holding Manjuu.

"They really aren't strong, nya..."

Akashi agreed and nodded. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly frowned.

"Are you sure all the demons that came to this planet before have been annihilated by us?"

Angel Yan nodded. When her team arrived on the planet, she had already used her Eye of Insight. The demon squad that descended, a group of eight, were all gone!

"You're so sure... then what was it I just detected?"

Akashi frowned. Since arriving here, she had kept her anti-air radar on to ensure Su Luo's safety and prevent any accidents.

Just now, at the edge of the anti-air radar's detection range, a signal reaction similar to those of the ugly demon monsters appeared, but only for an instant. It seemed to have just passed by the edge of Akashi's radar detection range...

"Did you discover something unusual?"

Angel Zhixin noticed Akashi's strange expression and asked.

Akashi nodded.

Angel Yan frowned. She was sure she hadn't misread earlier. If there was something unusual now...

Angel Yan looked at Angel Zhixin.

"Zhixin, you stay here, remain vigilant, and protect Su Luo and the others! I'll go take a look!"

With that, Angel Yan stood up and walked towards the door.

After signaling Azi to return inside for the time being, Angel Yan flapped her wings and flew towards the sky.

Inside the small cabin, Angel Zhixin stood up with a serious expression, pulled Azi into the house, and then stood at the doorway, watching outside while paying attention to Angel Yan's news.

Inside the house, Azi seemed to sense something and looked frightened. She stood beside Su Luo, put down Manjuu, which she had been holding tightly, and instead hugged Su Luo's arm.

The Manjuu, now released, felt relieved but also seemed a bit resentful.

Feeling Azi's trembling body, Su Luo's eyes softened. He gently pulled his arm out of Azi's embrace and then pulled Azi back into his arms.

"Don't be scared. With us here, no one can hurt you!"

Azi's trembling body, due to an inexplicable fear, gradually calmed down under Su Luo's comfort, but she still snuggled into his embrace, as if feeling that Su Luo's arms were the safest place.

Su Luo held her close, embracing Azi. Akashi, not feeling jealous, sat to the side, trying to cheer Azi up.

Inside the house, they all quietly waited for news from Angel Yan.

Angel Yan's actions were swift, and her Eye of Insight was indeed convenient. In just a short while, she figured out what had happened.

Angel Zhixin, who was vigilantly guarding the surroundings at the door, received a communication from Angel Yan.

"Sister Yan!"

"Zhixin, the demon squad has returned! They probably think we've already cleared this planet and won't be back anytime soon, so they've sent new demons during this window of opportunity!"

"Sister Yan, do you need me to help?"

"No need. You stay there and protect the 'male god' and the others. I'll handle these demons! Also, please report this situation to the Queen. I suspect that new demon squads have also descended on the other planets we've cleared!"

"Understood, Sister Yan!"

Angel Zhixin replied and then hung up the communication.

After reporting to the Queen, Zhixin turned and looked at Akashi and Su Luo, who were waiting for news inside the house.

"Miss Akashi, you weren't mistaken! New demons have descended! Sister Yan has gone to deal with them!"

"It wasn't a sensing, nya... it was the anti-air radar..."

Akashi looked at Zhixin and corrected her.

When Zhixin mentioned the word "demons," Azi's body trembled again. Su Luo sighed and began to comfort her once more.

"Is the psychological trauma too deep, nya?"

Akashi sighed from the side.

Angel Zhixin heard this, walked over, opened her Eye of Insight, and looked at Azi.

A moment later, she sighed.

"Linna... no, it should be Azi! Azi being alive was intentional on the part of those demons."

Linna was Azi's original name, but when Angel Zhixin mentioned the name Linna, Azi's whole body trembled even more violently. So, Angel Zhixin simply stopped calling her by that name.

"What do you mean, meow?"

Akashi blinked and asked.

"Well... Morgana worships depravity and freedom. Her so-called freedom is extreme freedom..."

Zhixin blinked and rephrased.

"In other words, you don't need to suppress your inner desires. Whatever you want to do, as long as your abilities allow it and you can do it, it doesn't matter what you do!"

"This is Morgana's ideology, and it's the order the demon legion follows, no, it should be the order they uphold."

"You mean... those demons deliberately didn't kill Azi, just because they didn't want to kill her, meow?"

Zhixin nodded, then shook her head.

"No, more precisely, they wanted to torment this child, Azi. By making Azi witness the deaths of her family and other loved ones with her own eyes, and by deeply imprinting the memories and images of them, especially the demon who came up with this idea, into Azi's memory, so that Azi would live in fear for the rest of her life. That was their original plan!"

"Azi must have had a nightmare last night! Although the Eye of Insight didn't see what you dreamed, the information it saw indicated that Azi's face clearly showed a fearful expression after she fell asleep last night."

Akashi listened to Angel Zhixin's explanation and nodded at Su Luo.

"Last night, I sensed that Azi was having a nightmare, and I comforted her for a while, meow!"

Su Luo nodded, indicating he understood. He held Azi tighter, looked at Angel Zhixin, and asked.

"Can Azi's situation be resolved?"

"Yes, it can. I can directly shield Azi from the impact of this memory, so she won't be so afraid."

"Or I can directly delete this memory... However... if I do that, Azi will forget that her parents and relatives were killed. If she finds out again... it might cause her further harm."

"Of course, I can also..."

Zhixin looked at Su Luo and continued.

"Directly modify Azi's memory."

"Modifying her memory is unnecessary!"

Su Luo looked at Azi shaking her head pitifully in his arms and understood her choice. If it were him, he would also hate having his memory tampered with.

Sighing, Su Luo continued to speak to Angel Zhixin.

"Please shield Azi from those harmful influences."

Angel Zhixin nodded, silently noting that the "Male God" seemed to dislike manipulating others' memories. She stood up, walked over, and stood beside Su Luo, facing Azi.

The Eye of Insight activated. The moment Azi met Angel Zhixin's gaze, the negative influences caused by the demons' interference were shielded.

The effect was good; Azi's body was visibly trembling less than before!

However, Su Luo could still feel the sadness in Azi's heart.

After finishing, Zhixin stood up and walked to a chair to sit down. Angel Yan had left, so she could sit there.

"Sister Yan went to deal with those demons and will be back soon. I'm responsible for staying here as a precaution."

Su Luo, who had no objection to the arrangements made by Angel Yan and Angel Zhixin, nodded. He looked down and tried to cheer Azi up. Akashi, on the other hand, became interested.

"Then... can I see what's happening with Angel Yan, meow?"

Akashi wanted to see how angels fought.

Angel Zhixin nodded.

"You can!"

With that, Angel Zhixin sent a communication request to Akashi and Su Luo's gene systems. After they accepted, she shared Angel Yan's vision.

Outside a dormitory in the Heavy Sakura style, two "big foxes" walked towards a certain room, one after the other.

"Amagi, no matter what it is, remember not to rush!"

Shinano, the one behind, said to Amagi, who was pulling her arm, trying to make her speed up.

Amagi sighed and slowed her pace.

"I'm sorry, Lord Shinano, it's just that I'm responsible for looking after Taiho and Akagi, and Taiho's condition seems to be worsening. I'm quite worried."

Shinano looked at the deep worry on Amagi's face and sighed.

"Alas, fine, take me to see her first."

(Regarding memory manipulation: The Commander's original words to Arbitrator Maisa, who made him temporarily forget the memories of the β test site and only remember the α world memories, were: "I can accept you manipulating the intelligence you've obtained, but don't manipulate my memories!")
