"Don't talk about one person, even half of this person, I won't allow you!"
As expected as Yuuma thought, Haru failed and it was impossible to ask Natsuki to release her mother.
"Natsuki-chan, please. I will owe you one!"
"Absolutely not!"
"Really?
"You're so persistent! Just give up!"
".................."
Yuuma was depressed, looking at Haru and Natsuki who were flirting with each other in front of her, she really wanted to complain, but she didn't know what to say. Here she was thinking of how to save her mother and even thought to sacrifice the life of 100,000 residents of the Itogami island, but here, both of them were flirting with each other!
"Natsuki-chan, you're too stingy, right? Isn't it a simple matter for you?" Haru sighed, then stood up. "Well, Yuuma, let's go back, and save your mother next time, alright?"
After arguing with Natsuki, Haru was a bit helpless since she didn't give him a face, so he could only give up since he didn't really want to force Natsuki and even though Aya was beautiful, it didn't mean that he was so desperate.
Hearing Haru's words, Yuuma didn't even know what kind of expression she should show. He had promised her to save her mother before, but now when this matter was about to be completed, he told her to go back?
Is he teasing me?
There were black lines over her forehead, Yuuma opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word. she had always felt like she was being teased by Haru.
"Do you want to come here again? I haven't punished you for bringing someone here and you even dare to tell me that you'll come again?!"
Yuuma looked at Haru speechless, and Natsuki who was on the side didn't plan to let him go that simply. When a zipper suddenly opened and Haru and his group entered, Natsuki was full of dread since she couldn't stop them. She was wondering what kind of enemy that she would face, but she didn't expect that she was being teased!
More importantly, Natsuki didn't know what this guy was thinking since she thought that Haru was going to help Yuuma, but then he chose to give up. However, when she thought clearly, she felt that it was normal, considering how close the relationship between the two was, but she knew that this wasn't so simple. She knew that Haru was hiding something, but she couldn't figure it out.
Natsuki felt suspicious and wondered whether it was part of his research so she could get out from this legendary prison.
"Well, Natsuki-chan, don't be angry. Let me introduce you. This is Yuuma, my friend. Her mother was arrested by you in the legendary prison. Can you see how sad she's being separated from her mother? Don't you want to see both mother and daughter meet together? And please don't praise me, I'm just doing what everyone does."
"You..."
Natsuki was speechless, if everyone could enter the legendary prison, then no prisoner could be imposed here!
Haru entered the legendary prison, bringing a lot of people to save one of the most vicious criminals in the world!
If everyone really wanted to do this, then the world would be destroyed!
Natsuki let out a long sigh and at this moment, she just wanted to grab his ear and scold him so he wouldn't do this kind of thing again. Unfortunately, it was because their relationship was very close and she didn't even deny that she was his woman, so their actions seemed intimate in the eyes of others.
"Look, you even agree with me, right? So can you just do me this little favor, Natsuki-chan?" Haru knew that Natsuki was angry that she was speechless, but he ignored it and pushed her once again.
"Don't dream!"
"Well, since you have said so..."
Watching Natsuki, who stared at him as she gritted her teeth, Haru could only pretend to be helpless, so he just gave up and left. Waving his hand, he said, "Well, that's it, Natsuki-chan. We'll leave first, we'll see you again next time."
"You better not come again! Otherwise, I won't let you out so easily!"
Natsuki snorted and expressed her dissatisfaction, showing that she didn't want to see him again here, but in truth, if they were meeting each other again, she hoped that she didn't bring Yuuma, Emma, and Octavia with him next time.
"Let's go, Yuuma." Haru held Yuuma's hand as he walked outside.
Yuuma was still at a loss, but after a few steps, she finally reacted.
"Wait, Haru, are we just going to leave like this?" Yuuma didn't expect Haru to leave directly. This wasn't a game for her, she bet everything and there was no way for her to give up, right?
"Otherwise? It's a bit hard to persuade Natsuki-chan now, but I'll find an opportunity in the future and rescue your mother." Haru looked at Yuuma firmly and said, "I promise you, alright?"
"I..."
Looking at his firm eyes, Yuuma couldn't help but want to believe him. Although she knew that Natsuki couldn't be persuaded, she still subconsciously wanted to believe in Haru. Even though she didn't know the reason.
"Trust me!"
In order to prove his credibility, Haru held both of Yuuma's hands tightly as he stared into his eyes without looking away.
Once again, the heat from his palms warmed her heart, and since Haru had said so, then Yuuma would believe him.
"Um."
Yuuma nodded. She didn't give up trying to save her mother, but she chose to believe in Haru and his promise. Although she still had a little regret in her heart, she didn't regret choosing to believe in him.
"What a stupid daughter to be played by a mere man!"
Just when Yuuma chose to believe Haru and nodded to leave with him, a cold voice suddenly sounded, and immediately she felt her heartbeat moved so fast as if a hammer hit her chest heavily and she was so stunned.
Behind her, Le Bleu raised its sharp blade without Yuuma's order and stabbed Yuuma's body without hesitation!
Yuuma was confused and didn't know why the guardian that she inherited from her mother would swing its sword at her, but she knew that she couldn't escape from this sword.
"What a cruel mother. You want to escape so badly that you'll use your daughter as decoy and escape?"
When Yuuma thought that she was dead, a sound of metal colliding was heard, and Haru's mocking voice was heard.
'Huh? Am I alright?'
When Le Blue's sword was about to stab her, Yuuma closed her eyes subconsciously and waited for death to come, but the pain in her imagination didn't come, and when she opened her eyes again. She discovered that Haru caught the sword of Le Blue with his bare hand, but unlike before, she noticed that his hand was covered in black luster-like metal.
"Haru!"
Yuuma's eyes were wet, and she was moved when Haru would stand in front of her and protect her!
Yuuma knew that at this moment, Haru was his true guardian that would protect.
"Aya Tokoyogi!"
Natsuki, who had originally planned to fall asleep again after Haru and his group left, suddenly exclaimed. According to normal circumstances, the scene before her was impossible, since Aya was imprisoned inside, but she would never forget Aya's voice.
Should Aya be imprisoned in the deepest part of the prison? How could she appear here?
"Witch of Void, do you think that I would stay obedient after I was imprisoned here for ten years? You're too naive, right?" The laughter echoed throughout the building, but even so, Aya's voice was only heard from Le Bleu, Yuuma's guardian, as for Aya herself, she didn't appear.
This was normal, although no one knew what kind of method Aya could do, the legendary prison was named for legendary with nothing. if it was so easy to break, then this prison wouldn't be named with legendary prison!
"Witch of the Notaria, you should be very clear about your situation. Your sneak attack was useless. Are you still planning to use this guardian to do something?" Haru said since the scene in front of him didn't surprise him. In fact, he was waiting for this moment. He had joked with Natsuki for so long and even said that he had given up so he could attack Aya on the outside.
Haru knew that Aya had done something to Yuuma's guardian, and at the same critical moment, he was sure that Aya would abandon Yuuma without hesitation since Yuuma was just a pawn to assassinate Natsuki.
As long as she could escape, Aya didn't mind sacrificing Yuuma!
Unfortunately, Haru had read Aya's plan so her plan was unsuccessful, and he had completely shown Aya's true nature since he knew that the existence of magicians was cruel, as long as they could achieve their goals, they would do anything!
"Mother, you..."
What Aya had done, made Yuuma sad and sorrowful. She knew her identity and understood her mission, but even so, she still regarded Aya as her mother, and saving Aya was her wish.
But the result?
Yuuma was betrayed and she knew that if it wasn't because of Haru, that sword would penetrate her chest, then using her body, Aya would use the body-switching ability of Le Blue to assassinate Natsuki by swapping their bodies. In other words, she was just a tool of Aya and she could be discarded anytime when Aya's goal was achieved. Knowing that fact, she was so sad and she didn't know tears dripped from her eyes.
