"Tsk, I'm late …"
Short blonde hair, blue eyes.
He had a tall and slim figure and was wearing a tailored white suit.
Vatler stood on the beach and looked at the two witches who had lost their ability to fight back in front of Eight-cloud Ink. He shook his head in disappointment.
"You want these two?"
The night wind blew up Eight-cloud Ink's long hair as he looked at Vatler with a strange smile.
"I didn't know you had such a unique taste."
"I'm just regretful that I finally had two witches to kill time with, but you took care of them before I could. Looks like tonight is going to be boring again. "
Vatler glanced at the Meiya sisters on the ground.
"The witches of the library … Could their goal be the prison barrier on this island?"
"Looks like you know a lot."
Eight-cloud Ink stepped forward and blocked the two witches behind him as he looked at Vatler cautiously.
Vatler seemed to have seen through Eight-cloud Ink's thoughts as he suddenly laughed.
"Don't be so nervous. If I really want to open the prison barrier, these two witches are not enough."
Vatler's smile made Eight-cloud Ink have a bad feeling.
Could it be —
"Plus, the people sent by the library to open the prison barrier can't be these two witches …"
[As expected, this guy knew something beforehand.]
Since Vatler already knew that the Meiya sisters were bait, Eight-cloud Ink asked frankly, "You knew? I thought you were cooped up in your lousy boat all day long, drinking yourself to death. "
"Don't slander me. My love for the Fourth True Ancestor has never wavered."
Eight-cloud Ink sneered. "Love? Okay, I'll assume that your desire for Kojou is a hobby … "
With one in each hand, Eight-cloud Ink carried the two witches who were in a semi-conscious state and disappeared into a crack.
⑧
Night, Kojou's home.
"Welcome back, Kojou."
At home, Shendu's Yuma was waiting for Kojou alone. She was one of the friends that Kojou had picked up at the airport today.
Xiandu Mu Yuma had already taken a bath, and even her hair was dry.
Looking at the clock, it was close to midnight.
"Sorry, I'm late … Eh?"
After taking off his shoes and returning to the living room, Kojou looked around the house for his sister.
"If it's Sasa, she's already asleep. I think she's tired from the fight. "
"… Primary school student, that guy."
The living room was littered with clothes that she had never seen before. Victorian gowns and pirate outfits, bunnies and cat ears, angels, vampires, and pumpkin-monster —
"What the hell? These clothes?"
"Try it on."
Looking at the puzzled Kojou, Yuma said with interest.
"It's customary for the visitors to disguise themselves during the ceremony, right?"
"Cosplay clothes … When did Nagisa prepare these things?"
Kojou was sitting on the sofa, feeling a little drowsy due to the tiredness of the day.
Immortal Capital's Yuma walked over and leaned on the sofa, her upper body almost pressing on Kojou.
"Anesthetic …?"
"Hey, Kojou …"
Yuma's voice was a bit hoarse.
"… If, one day, I'm no longer human, what will you do?"
"What?" Kojou paused for a moment before laughing. "So what, you're still my friend. I already have enough non-human friends."
"As expected."
Yuma seemed to have gotten the answer she wanted as her face blushed.
"… I only have you left, Kojou."
Then, the girl gently kissed Kojou's lips.
"Eh …!?"
The space behind Mu Yuma shook like a ripple, as if it had floated up from the bottom of a deep lake. On the other side of the ripple, something slowly poked its head out.
It was an ominous and blue giant shadow.
"Come, the ceremony is starting, Kojou."
Yuma's voice gently echoed in Kojou's ears.
Seduced by the sweet voice, Kojou's consciousness slowly faded and merged into the darkness.
Outside the window, Vatler was leaning against the wall like a gecko.
On his right hand, there was a disappearing light.
It was a detection spell that Natsuki secretly set up.
"This way, things will get more interesting …"
Under the drooping golden hair, the dark blue eyes that were covered were burning with the flames of desire for battle.
⑧
The next day.
The moment the space around Itogami Island started to distort, Natsuki noticed something was wrong.
"Bastard!!!"
Standing on top of a building, Natsuki looked at the magic formation emitting purple mist at the top of the Foundation Gate. She gritted her teeth and trembled.
"Looks like the detection spell you set up didn't work …"
Beside her, Yakumo, who was dressed in a Daoist robe, thought of Vatler, whom she had met last night.
"It seems like Vatler pulled the strings."
"That snake charmer …"
Natsuki was about to say something when the space on the east side of Itogami Island started to distort. Then, a castle-like structure appeared on the sea.
Prison Barrier!
"No! We can't let them succeed! "
Natsuki's body suddenly disappeared.
She didn't use a teleportation spell like before. Instead, she really disappeared.
"She even gave up on using magic to create a projection …"
Clearly, Natsuki Nangong had pulled her consciousness back into the prison barrier.
Natsuki was no longer a witch in the outside world.
The moment the Prison Barrier materialized, a giant golden lion appeared in the sky and attacked the Prison Barrier.
That was Kojou's familiar, Lion Gold.
However, after the lion launched an attack, it strangely disappeared.
Even though it was only one attack, it was still an attack from a primogenitor's familiar. The Prison Barrier immediately collapsed under the attack.
When Eight-cloud Ink appeared, he saw Kojou in a trench coat and two girls.
"Yo, Kojou, how does it feel to be a girl?"
Eight-cloud Ink smiled at the girl in witch costume.
"Sensei!"
The real Kojou saw Eight-cloud Ink and was pleasantly surprised.
"Stop Yuma! Don't let her open the Prison Barrier! "
At the same time, Yuuma, who was controlling Kojou's body, looked at Eight-cloud Ink vigilantly.
"You're the demon mentioned in the intelligence, the one who mysteriously appeared beside the witch in the void?"
"Hm? Seems like I caught your attention … "
Eight-cloud Ink didn't look at Yuuma, but at the magnificent building in front of him.
"Well, let's go see the real Natsuki-chan first."
Ignoring the tense Yuuma and the restless Kojou, Eight-cloud Ink walked into the Prison Barrier.
After passing through the collapsed Holy Hall, Eight-cloud Ink finally saw — —
A chair was placed there.
In the spacious hall of the Holy Hall, there was a chair, a luxurious velvet armchair.
Her eyes were closed as if she was sleeping. Sitting there was a woman.
She was a beautiful and tender demoness who looked like a doll.
Standing in front of the chair, Eight-cloud Ink gently touched the witch's head.
"Finally, we officially meet, Natsuki-chan."
That was the witch of the Void, Natsuki's main body.
