Part 8
The melody that [The Pied Piper of Hamelin] played, was by far the most beautiful music Asuka had ever heard.
The magic flute had wonderful highs and lows — An extremely dreamy tune that encroached upon Asuka.
(Ah.....This is a bit treacherous.)
With the tune of the magic flute going through her ears, Asuka saw the world of dreams which she had discarded.
A world that she always yearned for from a young age to go out of the cage.
Over the wall、across the ocean、across the border.....
Being together with her deceased parents and sisters, not bound by any chain, running around with a smile on their faces.
And also experience Halloween together as a family.
The discarded world lingered behind, deeply stimulating the ear.
So that's how it was, this was indeed the magic flute.
Asuka quietly stared, while screaming [Trick or Treat!] in her dreams, happily frolicking with herself.
Just when Asuka was going to get conquered by these intoxicating and sweet dreams—She recalled a promise:
"Someday — We will hold our own Halloween—!"
(.........Yes, for now I will reserve my [Trick or Treat!] until that time comes.)
Asuka made that promise deep in her heart, and then suddenly woke up from the intoxication. She soon realized that the play had already ended.
Ratten started panting and gave out a troubled smile.
"After all..........we only said it will be one tune. Have you had a dream, my guest?"
"......Yeah, it was a very beautiful dream."
This was not a hyperbole evaluation. After all, there will be no more chances to reunite with her loved ones that died. And since the last memory of that dream was her family members smiling—Perhaps this was truly a blessing.
'PaPaPa'—Asuka clapped her hands unknowingly.
Ratten let out a bitter smile. If she breached the contract and started blowing another tune, maybe she could dominate Asuka. However as a member of a Demon Lord with dignity, it didn't allow her to do such underhanded schemes.
After all, she was unable to shake the loyalty of the Red Iron Giant, and thus she had really lost this game.
Kneeling on the ground, Ratten gradually started to disappear with fresh blood dripping.
"Ah~ Ah........I've lost. Forget it, that hit just now had almost taken my life. And to add on the strength needed to play the tune.......it appears I cannot maintain the spirit power of the demon."
"..........."
"Let's hopefully meet again, cute lady. I thank you for your appreciation♪ And say hi to my master for me."
"I want to thank you for that beautiful tune."
Asuka did not go to deliver the final blow as Ratten had lost and gone with the wind.
Picking the flute that was on the floor, she heard voices coming from the other end of the church.
It was Leticia and Jin.
"Asuka-sama! Are you alright!"
"Un, my hair is a bit messy, but that's about it."
"Really? Thank goodness. Although I determined their motives, they wouldn't do something that evil......no, now is not the time to discuss about this. We will detail out the omissions, anyways now the stained glass...."
"Yeah, there are real stained glass here, keep them well."
"Okay.....Okay, then Asuka-sama?"
"I am going to fight the Demon Lord with this child here."
Asuka pointed, Deen started moving it's heavy body.
Leaving the shocked Leticia and Jin, she hastily rushed to the location of the Demon Lord.
