Ayanokouji held a black crystal stone, which was a symbol of the contract he signed with Echidna.
Feeling the temperature of the black crystal stone rapidly increasing, his consciousness gradually entered another space.
Dream City.
"Long time no see, Kiyotaka." Echidna held a book in her hands, sitting in the pavilion she was already familiar with, and smiled.
"I should be able to watch the trial here." Ayanokouji said calmly.
"Of course, Kiyotaka can watch Emilia's trial content and trial process here, but I can tell you beforehand, there is nothing interesting about it." Echidna said with a smile, "And even if you want to disrupt the trial process, it's not possible."
"It's okay." Ayanokouji said quickly, sitting in front of Echidna.
The reason he used the crystal to enter Dream City was because he wanted to see Emilia's past and understand her sealed memories.
He was quite curious about Emilia's past. Knowing her memories would help him learn more about her.
And if Emilia failed in this trial, Ayanokouji could also make targeted plans based on the trial content.
Echidna narrowed her eyes with a clear smile on her face. She guessed Ayanokouji's intentions: "Kiyotaka, you are truly wicked. You not only want to toy with the girl's feelings, but also to delve into her privacy."
"Sorry, I may not have done things like playing with other people's feelings yet." Ayanokouji said indifferently. Echidna might have read this from Emilia's memories.
For him, what he did to Emilia was beneficial and not harmful to him for now.
"So this should be Kiyotaka's first love." Echidna rested her cheek on her hand and looked at him with an ambiguous expression, "Is there anything special about it?"
"Being able to gain knowledge and experiences I have never had before." Ayanokouji said lightly, "Besides that, there is nothing special about it."
"Hey – you are clearly falling in love, but you say there is nothing special about you. Kiyotaka is indeed a wicked person."
"So Echidna, do you have knowledge and experience in this field?"
"What do you mean! Are you mocking me for never falling in love!" Echidna pretended to be like a little girl.
"I may not have meant it that way." Ayanokouji's expression never changed at all.
"Forget it." Echidna shook her head, "I will invite that person to participate in the trial. Although I have made a contract with you, but for that annoying woman, I cannot let her go for some reason."
"Please help yourself." Ayanokouji said calmly.
Subjectively, he also hoped that Emilia could pass the trial on her own, so that she could grow spiritually and psychologically.
"Don't blame me if she fails! There is still tea on the table, please help yourself." After Echidna finished speaking, she disappeared with a beam of light.
Then, the scenery around Ayanokouji changed, and he knew that this was the beginning of Emilia's trial.
He saw a cup of tea on the table and had no intention of drinking it.
❀❀❀
"It's also the teacher's bodily fluid! Don't waste it! Ayanokouji!"
Roswaal in the mansion looked at the scene in front of him, almost ruining the scene.
Ram beside him sighed deeply:
"Roswaal-sama, please be careful with your image."
❰❱SKY SCREEN❰❱
The empty seat next to Ayanokouji also lit up brightly again, and the figure of a girl appeared.
"Are you... Camilla?"
She remembered that the other party was the Witch of Lust.
Camilla's power was the Faceless Bride, which could transform her into someone deeply loved by someone in their heart. However, this power did not affect her when she first met him.
In other words, it was not entirely effective.
"Ayanokouji... you still remember my name..." Camilla buried her head in her collar, her eyes slightly avoiding, as if she dared not look at him.
"Sorry, what's the matter?" Ayanokouji asked.
"Echidna has left... I saw Ayanokouji here alone... So I wanted to come and accompany you..." Camilla trembled slightly out of fear.
This was the first time Camilla had met someone who was not affected by her power.
Because of her own power, she had a tragic past in her life. Everyone loved her, but they did not love 'her'.
In her eyes, Ayanokouji was the first person to realize her existence as Camilla herself, making her feel that Ayanokouji was a very special person.
"Alright, thank you very much." Ayanokouji nodded expressionlessly.
Other witches who shared their souls with Echidna could only appear in Dream City, which was a pity.
If they could influence the current world, they would be of great value.
However, if they could only appear in Dream City, their usefulness to him would not be much.
Then, Ayanokouji heard a childish voice coming from a distance. The scene in front of him was a tiny girl who looked to be only a few years old. She had chubby cheeks and a flower-shaped hair clip on her head.
There was no doubt that this was a young Emilia, and next to her was an adult woman with short hair, silver hair, purple eyes, and pointed ears. There was no doubt that this person was of the same race as Emilia.
Ayanokouji had wondered why he had never seen anyone of the same race as Emilia before.
"Is that her mother?" He squinted slightly.
"Mother Fortuna!" Young Emilia held a cloth doll, raised her head, and looked at the woman in front of her innocently.
"There will be something important later, so you must wait in the room." Fortuna said with a smile, her eyes full of care.
"Is there anything else?" Emilia's voice was very childish.
"There is something wrong with me. Emilia's silver hair is inherited from my older brother, but her gentle appearance is inherited from her mother." Fortuna gently stroked Emilia's hair.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Ayanokouji remembered this name in his heart.
From his current perspective, Fortuna was not Emilia's biological mother, but her aunt. So, who were her biological parents?
Ayanokouji had this question in his mind.
After Fortuna left, Emilia did not stay in the room obediently, but sneaked out of the house.
After seeing the scene outside the house, Ayanokouji's eyes narrowed slightly.
In the village streets where Emilia lived, there were many people wearing black robes.
Ayanokouji clearly remembered that these were the Witch Cult uniforms, and the mad gaze of Petelgeuse was still vivid in his mind.
Why was the Witch Cult here? Ayanokouji had a question in his mind. Had Emilia been connected to the Witch Cult since she was a child?
But he soon noticed something different. The members of the Witch Cult were communicating enthusiastically with the villagers. There were even many people bringing supplies to the villagers. They looked very harmonious and very different.
The Witch Cult in his memory was difficult to communicate with, but the Witch Cult in the trial appeared more like an organized and disciplined group.
Had something happened to the Witch Cult in the past hundred years?
"Although I have been given extra attention all this time." Fortuna said to a man, with a little gratitude in her eyes, and other emotions, not well known by Ayanokouji. But he had seen it in Emilia's eyes.
"We have to thank all of you for always burdening you, Lady Fortuna." The man said, his voice sounding kind and gentle.
"Let's do it for each other, Geuse."
Listening to their conversation, Ayanokouji's gaze fell on the man named Geuse. He had green hair, wore a small hat, and had a handsome face.
The color of his hair and the style of his hat were exactly the same as the Sin Archbishop of Sloth Petelgeuse, but there were fundamental differences between the two in terms of appearance and temperament.
"Am I too worried?" Ayanokouji thought.
❀❀❀
"Fortuna...Geuse..."
Emilia stared blankly at the current sky. These people were something she had never seen before. Their faces were very strange, but they gave her a very familiar feeling.
"Is this my sealed memory..."
She murmured to herself.
❰❱SKY SCREEN❰❱
The next scene was about the interaction between the Witch Cult and the local residents. Ayanokouji could clearly feel that the relationship between the two parties was very close.
Why were Emilia's memories sealed? Ayanokouji guessed that some major changes were definitely going to happen in the future.
And the camera moved quickly, jumping into an unknown time. In the forest, Geuse and Fortuna blocked young Emilia behind them, staring at the man in front of them with hostility.
Ayanokouji directed his gaze at the man. He was wearing white clothes. Except for his pale white skin, he looked very ordinary.
"Sin Archbishop of Greed, Regulus Corneas." That's how the man introduced himself, but there was a slight malice in his eyes.
"Why are you here! No one should interfere in the affairs of this forest except me!" Geuse roared in anger.
Previously, Ayanokouji had obtained a lot of information about the Witch Cult from Petelgeuse, and knew that this group was not united, and even the Sin Archbishops took action due to differences in opinions.
"This is an agreement you made without permission. You actually want to force it on others and make others obey it. You feel too right about yourself." Regulus's face was filled with a mocking smile, not caring at all.
"If you are not satisfied with the agreement, you can go to the church to discuss it. Why did you come here?!" Geuse asked hysterically.
"Because, this is the order I gave."
And at that moment, a very soft and light woman's voice was heard from the side.
Platinum hair, snake-like blue pupils, a very delicate face, and a white gauze dress, that was how the woman looked.
Ayanokouji looked at this person. He was completely unaware of her presence now.
It seemed like this woman suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"What's wrong with you? Archbishop Romanee-Conti?" The woman said to Geuse with a smile on her face.
Ayanokouji clearly remembered this family name. It was exactly the same as Petelgeuse's family name. It seemed that the man named Geuse would become the Sin Archbishop of Sloth in the future.
In the trial scene, Geuse was always enthusiastic and kind. Why did he become so crazy in the future?
Was it because of the relationship between the man and woman present?
However, Ayanokouji was not interested in Geuse's transformation, as he was already dead, and no matter what happened to him in the past, he had disappeared from this world along with his body.
He was more concerned about the two people in front of him.
Regulus and the woman next to him, there was no doubt that this woman held a very high status within the Witch Cult, and she always had a smile on her face, so much so that even Ayanokouji could not understand her thoughts.
"Why... Why are you here?!" Geuse's eyes widened, full of fear. This gentle-looking girl seemed like a terrifying monster in his eyes.
