Himeko thought for a moment and came to a decision...
"Even if she isn't the same Hiyamaru, no matter how you look at it, she's your little fangirl. Hiyamaru... I'll leave her to you. What do you think?"
Himeko looked at Kuzuka Ryo beside her.
Kill her? That didn't seem necessary!
She counted as a little Herrscher of Corruption, and it felt a little hard to do it.
Unlike the dead who could be said to have already died, Herrschers and Pseudo-Herrschers were an evolution of life. Though they were no longer human, still...
"Huh? Um... I'm not this world's Hiyamaru!"
Hiyamaru felt that something was off. Even if she was Hiyamaru from a parallel world, it still felt a little strange.
"What does that have to do with anything? You're both Hiyamaru anyway!"
"Kuzuka Ryo, right? The Divine Lord you mentioned is her. So? Are you willing to follow her?"
Himeko looked again at Kuzuka Ryo on the cross.
"..."
Kuzuka Ryo looked at Himeko and Hiyamaru without saying anything.
"Hey, hey, don't ignore me! I still have to report back to headquarters." Watching Himeko so casually decide Kuzuka Ryo's fate, Theresa couldn't help reminding her.
"Oh my, it's just a little thing! Just say everything's been dealt with—the target is dead and no body was left behind. Otto won't do anything to you anyway."
"That may be true, but this is a little too..."
Hearing Himeko's indifferent words, Theresa still hesitated somewhat.
"No buts. It's decided! If we hadn't run into you, Theresa, you might still be lost right now! So don't overthink it. At least everything's settled now, isn't it?"
Himeko crossed her arms and looked at Theresa with a smile.
"What do you mean, lost? I wasn't lost... How could I possibly get lost?"
