When the doctors appeared again, Eight-cloud Ink had mostly recovered.
Sitting on a bench in the corridor outside the operating room, Yakumo Mo looked at the group of doctors in white who were busy removing the magic circuit on Kanase Kanon's body. Or rather, it would be more appropriate to call them researchers.
"Do you think this is a good idea?"
Eight-cloud Ink suddenly asked.
"Hmm?"
Natsuki Minamiya was confused.
Vatler seemed to understand as he nodded. "That's right. It's rare for Yakumo to think of this."
"What are you talking about?" Natsuki Minamiya waved her fan and slapped Eight-cloud Ink's arm.
"I'm saying that the child finally has the power of an angel. Is it a good idea to remove it and turn her back into a normal person?"
"Then, do you think she'll miss that kind of power?"
Natsuki Minamiya lowered her head so Eight-cloud Ink couldn't see her expression.
"After I obtained some information from you, I purposely collected some information on Kanase Natsuon. That's why I know a bit about her personality."
"Well, that's right."
Eight-cloud Ink leaned back on the bench as she exhaled.
"She still hasn't recovered?" Natsuki Minamiya frowned as a trace of concern flashed in her eyes.
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Vatler suddenly thought of something and stood up.
"Yakumo, let's find some time to compete again. Find an isolated island."
After seeing Eight-cloud Ink's ability to blur the boundary between the two dimensions, Vatler's desire to battle with Eight-cloud Ink reignited.
Natsuki Minamiya wanted to say something, but Eight-cloud Ink patted her shoulder.
"Okay."
Vatler smiled with satisfaction when Eight-cloud Ink agreed. He slowly left with his hands in his pockets.
After Vatler's figure disappeared into the darkness, Natsuki Minamiya stared at Eight-cloud Ink and said, "You shouldn't have agreed."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Instead of worrying about this, why don't you think about how to deal with this child? After what happened, I don't think she will return to her adoptive father. "
Nangong Natsuya muttered: "Although I can temporarily take care of her, I can't take care of her for a long time. That's right, you said that this child is actually a daughter of the royal family, right?"
"That's right. So, what do you think the princess of the Kingdom of Aldichia is here for?"
"Don't tell me … it's because of Kanon?"
"That's why we'll take a look first. If the princess is trustworthy, we might as well hand her over to them. After all, Kanase Kanon is the princess's aunt-"
Thinking of this, Eight-cloud Ink could not help but laugh out loud. Kanase Kanon's father was the father of the current king of Aldicia. She was the illegitimate daughter of the previous king. According to seniority, she was the aunt of the missing princess.
"— Of course, I still need to ask for Yase's permission."
"But the most important thing right now is to find the missing princess." Natsuya thought about how the princess went missing on Itogami Island and felt frustrated.
"Don't worry, Kojou and the others will take care of this."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, didn't you ask me to explain to Kojou? So, I told him about Kensei Kanase."
Yakumo Mo raised her hand and pressed it against her chest. She felt the pain coming from her body, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Kojou has decided to find Kensei Kanase and seek justice for her. The disappearance of the princess of Aldichia is related to Kensei Kanase, so Kojou will definitely meet with the princess. You should know that Kensei Kanase is a former court magus of the Kingdom of Aldichia. Kensei Kanase has a lot of magic skills that require the royal bloodline to activate. "
"How dare you do this! Kojou is still a True Ancestor — "
Natsuya wanted to say something but she noticed Eight-cloud Ink's hand on her chest. Her expression changed.
"— You're still lying to me! You're injured! Let me see! "
"Hey! What's there to see? You're a witch, not a doctor … "
"No! Let me see! "
"Ah ha, ah ha ha … It's itchy! Don't touch … "
"Don't make strange sounds! Be good and let me take a look … "

Kanase Kanase was sleeping in the light.
In her ears, where her consciousness was weak, she could hear the continuous chanting of spells that sounded like magnificent music.
It was a beautiful flood of light and sound waves.
The light was emitted by the complex magic patterns engraved on her skin. And the sound waves were played by her own throat.
Kanase Kanase kept her ugly wings open as she dreamt in the light.
She knew that she was gradually turning into a non-human being.
When the devouring was over and the mutation was complete, she would leave this world.
He didn't feel any sadness or fear about this matter. Because it was just going with the flow. It was the truth of the world set by the gods.
But in her disappearing consciousness, there was still a slight sense of relief.
The little lives she had saved, the warm memories, and the cute kittens.
Unconsciously, it overlapped its own figure, which did not know its parents, with those young kittens abandoned by their owners.
This was probably why she was so persistent in saving the kittens.
Regardless, her wish had come true.
Even if the girl, Kanase Natsuon, was forgotten by everyone, the kittens she saved would continue to live on.
Then there was nothing to be reluctant to leave. Even if her cursed hands were stained with the blood of her own kind, she would never have the chance to hold them again.
Just as his consciousness was about to fall into a deep slumber, something seemed to have changed.
The attraction of the higher dimension that Kanase Kanon couldn't understand seemed to be weakening.
Then, she realized that something was being peeled away from her body.
There was no pain. Instead, there was a sense of relief, like a person who had been tightly bound by a rope was finally free.
How long had it been since she felt this relaxed …?
Kanase Kanase could not remember.
But along with the relief, there was an irresistible tiredness.
Then, Kanase Kanase suddenly remembered something.
She remembered the voice of the young man who called her name when she was a human, and a voice that she had never seen before, but it was gentle.
The tip of his nose seemed to smell some kind of faint fragrance.
It was the fragrance of lilies.
Kanase Kanase Kanase remembered the young man who controlled the familiar beast and called her human name. He seemed to be the brother of her good friend, Nagisa.
But the other gentle voice, she had no impression of it.
However, she clearly remembered what that voice had said to her.
"Sleep. When you wake up, everything will be over …"
When I wake up, everything will be over?
Then, after some time, a voice woke her up.
"Are you awake?"
