It was a lavishly decorated residence.
The room was filled with a sweet fragrance. It was the scent of the owner of the room.
The floor was covered with a soft carpet. Exquisite crystal chandeliers hung on the walls. Fresh flowers were placed in the corners of the room.
If there was anything special, it would be the black tea on the cabinet in the living room.
Expensive black tea from all over the world was placed on top of the cabinet. It seemed like the owner took good care of the tea.
Through the bright and clean windows, the bright and beautiful sunlight shone in from outside.
The room was air-conditioned. The temperature was like two different worlds compared to the outside world.
Eight-cloud Ink stood in front of the window with a cup of fragrant black tea in his hand. He chuckled and said, "I didn't think you would be treated so well."
Natsuki was sitting on a luxurious sofa with a wide back and armrests. Natsuki was wearing a luxurious black dress. She snorted.
"This is my special treatment."
"Speaking of which, is it really okay for you to bring me into your home so abruptly?"
Eight-cloud Ink glanced at Natsuki who was sitting on the sofa.
After returning home, the loli shaped witch took off her high heels and stepped on the soft carpet with her feet wrapped in black silk.
Natsuki was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed.
"You're too much of a threat. I have to keep an eye on you. There's nothing more convenient than this."
"But Natsuki-chan, aren't you putting yourself in danger?"
Eight-cloud Ink purposely released a strand of yao energy.
The temperature in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Who can say for sure?"
A moment of silence.
The only sound in the living room was the ticking of the clock on the wall.
"Tsk! How boring … "
Eight-cloud Ink retracted his yao energy and looked at the scenery outside.
Itogami Island was a man-made island created by combining technology and magic. Although it was similar to a modern city, it was different from a purely scientific world like Academy City.
"Then, how long do you plan to keep an eye on me? I can play this game with you for now, but who knows when I'll get tired of it. "
"Until I find out what your goal is. You still won't tell me why you came to Itogami Island?"
"I already said I have no goal …"
Eight-cloud Ink sighed.
"... I do have a motive. However, I don't necessarily have to come to Itogami Island in order to achieve it. It's purely a coincidence that I ended up here."
Nangong Natyue's pitch-black eyes flashed with pink light.
"Although I'm good at spatial manipulation magic, I've also dabbled in some psychic magic. If the feedback from the magic is correct, you're not lying —"
Natsuki Nangong continued to enjoy her black tea.
"But even so, I can't allow you to roam freely on Itogami Island."
"Don't make it sound like I'm Godzilla. Although I'm a monster, I don't eat humans, really."
Eight-cloud Ink paused for a second and added.
"Human flesh doesn't taste good at all …"
"Huh?!"
Natsuki Nangong widened her eyes and glared at him.
"How do you know it doesn't taste good? Could it be that you've eaten humans before?! "
"Tsk! Who wants to eat that stuff? "
Eight-cloud Ink stepped on the soft carpet and sat down on the sofa across from Natsuki Nangong.
"But some of my monster friends have a strong taste and have eaten humans before. That's why they told me."
"Let me make this clear —"
Natsuki Nangong put down her black tea and interlocked her fingers with a serious expression.
"— If you hurt someone on Itogami Island, we can talk about it. But if you eat humans, I won't let you get away with it!"
"I already said I don't eat humans — Fine, fine, fine! I'll agree to your request. "
Eight-cloud Ink could only nod in agreement when he saw Natsuki Nangong's firm expression.
"Seriously, Nanguki-chan, it's not a good habit to be so stubborn, you're so cute —"
"Bang!!"
A black lace folding fan smashed into Eight-cloud Ink's forehead.
"You're not allowed to have the word 'chan' behind your name!! How many times do I have to say it?! "
Eight-cloud Ink grabbed the folding fan that flew into the air when it hit her forehead. Eight-cloud Ink's slender fingers danced like a butterfly as the fan bounced back and forth between her fingers.
"By the way, you still haven't told me how you know my name!?"
Natsuki Nangong stared at Eight-cloud Ink.
She was very strong, one of the strongest people in the human world, so it wasn't strange for her to be famous.
But most people only heard of her title — The Witch of the Void. As for her real name, very few people knew about it.
"I said, I've seen your manga — ah, I mean, I've seen a certain anime where you appeared, that's how I know you …"
At this point, Yakumo had a strange smile on her face.
"… Would you believe me if I said that?"
"Stop joking!"
Natsuki Nangong raised her hand. Eight-cloud Ink's folding fan suddenly disappeared and reappeared in Natsuki Nangong's slender hand.
"I'm not a three-year-old kid! How could I believe such an excuse? "
"That's why you see, the truth is often like this. Because it's too unbelievable, people won't believe it."
Natsuki Nangong snorted. She was certain that Eight-cloud Ink didn't want to tell the truth, so she used such a flawed excuse.
"If you don't believe me, you can use that magic to test the truth of my words again. I'll repeat that sentence word for word."
"Are you serious?"
Natsuki Nangong's voice became somewhat low.
Eight-cloud Ink nodded.
The girl's beautiful eyes once again glowed pink. That was the light from the magic formation.
Then, Eight-cloud Ink repeated the sentence word for word.
"How is it?"
Natsuki Nangong's forehead began to sweat.
It was clear that this Mind Magic consumed a lot of her energy. Even a witch like Natsuki Nangong couldn't bear it anymore.
"That's … incredible …"
Natsuki Nangong opened her eyes and looked exhausted.
"If there's such a thing in this world, there's no way I wouldn't know about it. Are you a monster from another world?"
Natsuki Nangong wasn't unfamiliar with the concept of another world.
The current representative of the Demon Race, Vampires, was a race that interacted with creatures from another world every day.
Familiars were powerful creatures that came from another world.
"As expected of the Witch of the Void."
Eight-cloud Ink picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of black tea.
"If I really want to explain it, it's just the interference of information between different worlds. This isn't a secret. In fact, many Combatants of different worlds know about this. There's no need to hide it, so there's no harm in telling you about it."
"Between different worlds, there will occasionally be a phenomenon called interference of information. The specific manifestation is that certain people or certain things in one world will appear in a certain way in another world."
"For example, Combatants of different worlds will appear in legends of other worlds. This phenomenon isn't rare."
"Or …"
Saying this, Eight-cloud Ink looked at Natsuki Nangong with a faint smile.
"For example, Natsuki-chan, in a certain world, appeared in a certain anime. That's it."
Natsuki Nangong's fan fell on the table.
"This is … unheard of …"
