While Erina and the Imperial Group were fighting, Akasha was walking to her room to read the book Erina had given her.
Akasha arrived in front of her room, then turned on the light, thanks to the overcast clouds, Akasha's room was also dark.
After turning on the light, Akasha walked to the table and sat down.
Akasha learned to read from following her teacher, that's why Akasha was able to read without guidance.
Akasha looked at the title of the book and read the title.
"The Mage of Justice and Demon King?"
Akasha understood mage but he didn't understand the meaning of the word Justice and what the Demon King was.
Out of curiosity, Akasha decided to read the book.
One day, the world was enveloped in peace. everyone was laughing happily together.
But suddenly a darkness appeared at the end of the world. And in that darkness, ugly monsters appeared.
Monsters attacked humans and brought humans to endless sorrow, and humans united against monsters.
*Explosion*
While Akasha was reading, suddenly thunder came and made a loud noise as Akasha was immediately surprised, although his expression was the same.
Akasha heart skipped a beat, even though it had been quite a while since he woke up from amnesia, Akasha still didn't feel anything in any situation.
But the tense atmosphere of the dark clouds, the serious expression of her previous master, the thunder that startled Akasha, and the book that gave off an eerie atmosphere.
All of these events combined to make something inside Akasha come out. A small emotion inside Akasha. An emotion called 'Anxiety'.
Finding the first emotion that she felt made Akasha's heart beat faster, her breathing was tight, but even so, Akasha felt that she had to continue reading the book, as if the book was the reason for her existence.
Akasha read the rest of the story.
After that they learned that the monsters had a king, that was the Demon King.
All humans united to fight the army of monsters and finally they reached the Demon King palace, but even though they fought, all humans there were defeated.
The human race that had united was nothing in front of the Demon King.
Akasha felt something while reading this passage, something strange but powerful.
And there appeared a figure who descended from the sky. Calling himself a Mage, he immediately healed the injured humans with ease.
Something in Akasha chest became even stronger.
The Mage confronted the Demon King. The Demon King asked, are you going to protect that human? There is no benefit whatsoever in protecting weak creatures like them.
Something in Akasha chest seemed about to explode.
The mage replied, there is no need for a reason to help someone, that is the form of true justice. After that, their fight was on.
Akasha chest beat faster the more Akasha read the book.
The long battle of the Mage and the Demon King that lasted for 5 days finally found its winner.
As Akasha read that passage, a light shone through the window of Akasha room and the light seemed to be lighting up the picture illustration of the Mage defeating the Demon King.
The Mage stood victorious, bringing back peace to the world. After that, the Mage became known as the Mage Of Justice. The Mage Of Justice again traveled to various parts of the world to carry out other justice. -Finished-
Akasha finished reading the book and looked up at the sky, the sky that was originally dark, now brightened again showing a beautiful rainbow.
Just as the weather had brightened, Akasha emotions, which had been closed off, were now finally fully open again.
An emotion that he got was not anxiety like before but an emotion called 'admiration' and the desire to be like the person he admired.
Akasha looked at herself reflected in the window of the room, the eyes that once looked like a dead fish were gone, now Akasha eyes were eyes filled with a strong will to live.
"Mage Of Justice."
Akasha muttered the word while dreamily looking at the clear sky.
And reflected in the window was the first smile that Akasha let out for the first time.
...
"Damn, these people are stronger than I thought."
Erina finally managed to defeat all the people without killing them even though it took longer than she thought.
"I should praise myself for defeating them without killing them, I am indeed a genius."
Erina muttered while praising herself. After happily praising herself, Erina faced Alec.
"Interrogation time, I really need your information to find out what's really going on in the Empire right now."
"Cuih, I have no information to share with a bitch like you!"
Alec replied while spitting at Erina feet.
"This guy, since earlier, you keep calling me a bitch. Were you never taught to respect a lady?"
"Hahahaha, how funny to call a living fossil a lady."
Erina veins instantly swelled, and her hand was already carrying a jet-black card but Erina immediately regained her composure.
(Calm down, Erina. You don't need to listen to what they say, you are a lady, not a living fossil. That's right, I'm a lady, not a living fossil.)
"Ahem, even if you don't say anything, I can still see into your heads with my magic. I'll take a peek at your memories first."
Erina put her hand on Alec's head and Erina started to cast a spell but Alec tried to rebel so Erina cast 'Silent' magic on Alec.
Even so Alec still continued to rebel making it difficult for Erina to enter Alec mind.
"Shut up first, don't rebel, -------"
After finishing casting the spell, Erina began to explore into Alec memories, and when Elise saw a memory that Erina was looking for, Erina was suddenly thrown back to the real world.
"Ouch... Why am I suddenly thrown away?"
As Erina confusedly turned her eyes back to Alec to find out why she was thrown back to reality, what Erina saw was Alec and the rest of the Empire people with their heads no longer on their bodies.
"What..."
Erina expression was only one of confusion, Erina finally realized that all the people died with their heads exploded because all parts of their heads and blood hit Erina face and body.
Erina very confusedly looked around and used magic to investigate the surrounding location but found nothing.
"Ended their own lives? No, that's strange, they shouldn't be able to kill themselves, I've cast a spell so that they don't know how to do that, so there's no way they can do that. Then how did they die?"
Erina got up and cleaned her body that was dirty with blood and started investigating the bodies of the Empire members.
After spending 5 minutes investigating, Erina finally decided to give up and immediately collected and burned their corpses. Their corpses would cause unnecessary tension if exposed to the public in this world situation.
"-----"
After casting a spell to burn their bodies, Erina accidentally saw a necklace that Alec knew, and there was a photo of a family, Alec and a woman on the side and a carefree little boy under Alec.
Erina understood the meaning of the photo and bit her lip in frustration.
"Tsk."
Erina clicked her tongue looking at the photo. Although Erina did not kill them, Erina felt a sense of guilt after seeing the photo but after all, what had happened could not be undone.
Erina chose to ignore the necklace and left the burnt corpses with the necklace.
To Erina, when one fights they should be prepared to lose their own lives and Erina had no obligation to deliver their corpses to their families.
After all, this was the way of thinking of the person with the nickname 'The Little Witch'.

On the way back home, Erina was still in a bad mood.
When she arrived at the front door of the house, Akasha suddenly appeared to open the door, seeing Akasha instantly made Erina mood improve again.
"Is the book interesting?"
Hearing Erina question, Akasha answered with a voice that sounded full of energy and enthusiasm.
"Yes! Very interesting!"
Akasha excited answer was also followed by the first cute smile that Akasha showed.
Erina was momentarily surprised by Akasha smile but Erina smiled too.
"...Ahem, I'm glad you like it."
"I want to ask Master for a favor."
Erina was a little surprised that Akasha would ask for something, but as her master there was no way Erina could refuse her favorite student's request.
"What? As long as it's within my reach, I'll definitely fulfill it."
"I want to become a Mage Of Justice!"
