Part 7

In the white fog, the golden tail was wagging.

“Lunlunlun~”

There is even an appropriate humming that can be heard.

Her light steps are like dancing. Pools of red blood spread around her, making a splashing sound.

“Zeta-sama, you’re in a good mood.”

Zeta’s humming stopped abruptly when she was called out.

“Now that was a good part.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Muu.”

Zeta twirled the bloodstained chakram around with her fingertips.

“Please don’t throw it”

A small, hooded girl emerged from the white fog.

“I won’t throw it. What about Viktoria?”

“The plan is proceeding.”

“N.”

“A report from Viktoria-sama.”

“Nn.”

Zeta, who was spinning the chakram, suddenly threw it into the air.

SPLAT.

A man’s head came down from above. It cracks and crumbles with an expression of astonishment pasted on it.

“Well done”

“N.”

“A report from Viktoria-sama.”

“Nn.”

“It seems that Shadow-sama intervened in the matter of Princess Alexia and Claire.”

“Claire-“sama”, okay.”

The chakram slashed the wind and the girl’s hood shook.

“Forgive my rudeness.”

“Be careful. And what about Master?”

“He took care of the head librarian and got two of them out of the sanctuary.”

“As expected. With this, Fenrir was cornered.”

“Yes. I think our next move is limited. What is your progress, Zeta-sama?”

“Hmm?”

“It’s about the analysis of the sanctuary.”

“Ah, it’s done.”

“Already done? It’s only been a few days……”

“Eta’s artifacts are excellent.”

Zeta then pulled out a mysterious device the size of the palm of her hand.

As she pours her magic power into it, the device glows thinly.

“Visualization of the magic circuit. See at a glance where it flows and what it means.”

The light spreads out like thin blood vessels. They pulsate and lead to a cylindrical red light.

In the four lights were the students of the school, connected to thin tubes.

“Trying to break the seal with their magic power.”

“Looks like the magic power is not enough.”

“Yes. That is why they needed high quality, magic power of the descendants of heroes. How did the cult seal the Demon Diabolos and how did they create the sanctuary? I think I have a pretty good idea.”

“Then we have no further use for them”

“N.”

“What do we do? If we destroy this tube, we can protect the seal.”

When asked by the hooded girl, Zeta pondered for a moment.

But without even pondering, the answer was clear. She just wanted to make sure she was ready.


“We won’t destroy it “

“Are you sure?”

“I’ve already made up my mind.”

Saying that, Zeta walks out into the fog.

She passed through the red light and held her hand up to the huge door beyond.

“Ahead of this, the right arm of Demon Diabolos is sealed.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I thought I’d take a look at it to commemorate the occasion.”

“Do you want a signature?”

“That’s fine too. Zeta has come.”

Zeta then poured magic into the door.

The door is inscribed with countless ancient letters, and thick chains are wrapped around it in layers.

“Will it open?”

“I don’t know. But she’s the one who sealed the demon’s right arm in this place.”

“She?”

“I’m sure she’ll respond.”

Zeta pours in more magic power.

Then the door begins to glow red and a magic circuit spreads through the space. The sound of creaking chains can be heard, and the door is seen shaking slightly.

But the door did not open.

The magic circuit concentrates in front of the door, shaping the human figure with its veiny, thin light.

“Step back.”

“Yes.”

At Zeta’s command, the hooded girl moves away.

Eventually, when the faint light disappeared, there stood a beastwoman.

Golden hair, golden cat ears, a golden tail, and cat-like eyes. The figure looked very similar to that of Zeta.

“This is ……”

The hooded girl gasped.

“Nice to meet you, Beastwoman Hero.”

“Zeta-sama, what is this……”

“Because I knew it.”

Zeta said nonchalantly.

At that moment, the beastwoman hero slashed her claws and cut off Zeta’s neck.

Zeta’s head, which had flown widely through the air, disappeared as a black mist. At the same time, Zeta’s torso also disappeared.

A white fog mixed with a black fog, from which an unharmed Zeta appeared.

She floated in the air, looking down at the beastwoman hero with her cold eyes.

“But I just wanted to make sure.”

Zeta said that.

The beastwoman hero did not respond. She just looked up at Zeta with emotionless eyes.

“Do you remember the day you first met Master?”

Zeta asked the hooded girl as she kept floating.

“Of course. I’ll never forget it.”

The hooded girl said so, clutching her chest.

“Me too. I never forgot that day.”

Zeta stared intently at the beastwoman hero. Beyond her figure, as if remembering the distant past.

“I’m —— a tiny little kitten that was picked up by Master”

It was Zeta’s determination.

“Bye Bye Hero. I’m going down a different path than you.”

Zeta turned on her heel.

The little hooded girl hurriedly follows.

“Are you fine with that? You have not gotten the signature yet.”

“Nn. The signature will be done another time. The current stage goal has been achieved. All that remains is to lurk in the shadows until the time is right.”

“Then let us lurk in the shadows.”

The two girls exchanged words as they disappeared into the fog.

The beastwoman hero stared at their back.
