Sasha carries on glaring at me but I smile back.

“Oh? Did you possibly think that I couldn’t control my <demon eyes of ruin>?”

Sasha closes her eyes and when she opens them again her <demon eyes of ruin> are gone.

“As you can see, I can control them.”

Sasha seems slightly relieved that she did it.

“Did you want me to say it was my misunderstanding? I see. Anyway…..”

I take another step forward.

“Your true reason is?”

Sasha presses her lips together.

Is she cautious of my approach or is it something else?

“I heard the story about Zepes and Liorg. You put a lot of pressure on the brothers to get along. You’re the same as that doll. A peaceful, easygoing, naive fool.”

I’m naive? Well, in this age I guess I am. However, she says I’m peaceful?

“Even though you’ve got a little bit of power you know nothing. Don’t force your ideas on others!”

“I refuse.”

Sasha was at a loss for words at my reply.

“When I want to say something I’ll say it. When I want to ask something I’ll ask. Who can give me orders?”

Of course I still need to know some courtesy, however, I don’t need to hold my words back here.

“Sasha. While you were my subordinate I gave you the hand of friendship. Surely you didn’t think it will end with this?”

I walk right up to Sasha who’s gripping the king sceptre firmly while being on her guard.

“If you hurt me even a little that girl dies.”

Synchronisation magic Conditions <Lent>.

If I harm Sasha the barrier around Misha will shrink and crush her but before that happens it will push the knife in deeper and kill her.

“The knife will be pushed in and kill her. Even you will need at least 10 seconds to break the barrier and heal her. That’s all the time I need.”

Sasha’s body starts to float. She rises up and starts to fly out of the exit.

I was quicker though. I kicked the ground and rapidly approached Sasha grabbing her hand. Sasha’s face was completely surprised.

Because the conditions had been met <Lent> activated, however, Misha was safe. There was no change to the barrier.

“……Why……..? <Lent> definitely activated…….”

Sasha turned her demon eyes on Misha.

If you looked into the abyss you would see that the knife, the barrier and the blood were all illusions made by my illusion magic.

Misha was healed with recovery magic Healing <Ento> a long time ago and the barrier was broken. Activating it does nothing.

“Illusion Mimicry <Rainel>……It’s a lie right?…….When……?”

“The moment I saw it. My friend was dying. Of course I would act.”

After that, I knew Sasha was planning something so I activated <Rainel>.

“By the way. I did that in 0.1 seconds. You had another 9.9 seconds to run away. What should I do with the remaining time?”

I lay a little bit of emphasis on the hand I’m grasping.

Sasha frowns in pain.

“…..Wait…..”

A voice was heard from the altar.

I look back while grasping Sasha’s hand.

I released <Rainel> and Misha was standing there.

“…..Forgive her…….”

Fumu. Saying something like that.

“I don’t mind forgiving her but it would be better if she tells me what she’s really thinking instead of this lax betrayal and bad acting.”

Misha shakes her head.

“Force is not good.”

Yare yare. She doesn’t normally look at me with such serious eyes.

“…..No good……?”

Whatever. It’s fine I guess.

I won’t take orders but it’s different if its a request. I’ll willingly accept the requests of this particular friend.

“You should thank Misha for this.”

I release Sasha’s hand and she flies away immediately.

“You are truly foolish Misha. Did you honestly think I’d say thank you? Too bad. Your life exists to be used by me. In your last moments, you’ll regret this!”

Spitting out those words Sasha suddenly loses control of Flight <Fres> causing her to fall to the floor doing a flashy roll along the ground as she hits it.

“….Ouch….Wha…….This…..?”

“Aah, my bad. You were in such high spirits with your little speech I forgot to tell you but I disturbed the magic flow around here so you can’t fly.”

I laughed at the girl who’s face showed humiliation.

“A loser is a loser. Give it your all and crawl on the ground all the way back, otherwise, I might change my mind.”

“….Insolent fellow…..I’ll remember this……”

*Hahaha* I instinctively release fresh laughter.

“I wanted to hear such lines. Do it, if you can.”

Even though I was undoubtedly being glared at I turned my back to Sasha and walked off.

Calling out over my shoulder I speak to Sasha.

“Sasha. I’m tolerant of betrayal by my subordinates not to mention yours barely ranks as mischief. I’ll forgive you if you show suitable manners and thanks.”

Sasha didn’t say anything and left without looking back.
