I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

But at that very moment, a voice suddenly rang out from above:

"Welcome to my experimental field, my lovely little white mice."

Hearing the sudden sound, Yuhaka and her group immediately assumed a defensive stance. Clearly, they were very wary of the unexpected noise. Javelin, who was standing beside Yuhaka, quickly asked:

"YuYu-chan, where is that voice coming from?"

Regarding the question about Javelin, Yhaka pointed to the area above his head. Seeing Yhaka's gesture, Javelin also looked up. In the bare rocks there, Javelin saw a small magic circle operating. It seemed that the sound was coming from that direction, and it was clear that the other party was communicating with them through magic.

"Although you may not know what the situation is now, I happen to have an experiment here that I want you to test. Perfect timing, your friends are also a bit impatient."

As he spoke, Yuhaka sensed the biological signals of the Vicious ones. The next instant, Yuhaka sensed that the Vicious ones were rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed. Yuhaka immediately realized that the other party was hostile and raised the weapon in his hand to smash it to the ground.

As Yhaka moved, a large number of crystal-like formations rose up around Javelin and the others. Javelin and the others looked puzzled when they saw the crystal wall suddenly rising from the floor. However, after Vicious and the others appeared, Javelin and the others understood why Yhaka had raised the crystal wall.

On the other side of the crystal wall, Malicious and Triumph appeared on either side of Yuhaka and the others. Their pristine white ship uniforms had turned black, with a slightly somber look. The black collars around their necks indicated that they had been controlled by the other side.

"Tsk! It's still too slow after all..."

Seeing his sister being controlled, Ke Bu couldn't help but show a displeased expression, clearly very angry that his sister was being controlled by the enemy.

After Yuhaka's attack blocked the combined attacks of Malicious and Triumph, the two quickly retreated into the poisonous fog. Seeing this, Javelin was quite puzzled and said:

"Strange, why aren't Vicious Sauce and Triumph Sauce affected by the poisonous fog? Could it be that the enemy has set up a protective barrier for them?"

Regarding the javelin's question, Kokkoro, who was standing nearby, also said to the javelin:

"Then let me try to see if I can purify those poisonous fumes."

As she spoke, the crystal tip of Kokoro's spear emitted a magical glow, and soon, magical light appeared around Kokoro as well.

After a flash of light, Kokkoro looked at the lingering poisonous fog with a puzzled expression and said:

"Huh? That's strange... the poisonous fog hasn't disappeared?"

Seeing Kokkoro's confusion, Javelin, standing nearby, also looked at her with a puzzled expression and said:

"Could it be that there's something wrong with the toxins?"

Hearing Javelin's words, Kokkoro shook her head, seemingly unsure, and said:

"I'm not sure. I can purify most poisons, but this poisonous fog seems a bit different from the poisons I've encountered before..."

As to how those poisons differ from the poisons that affected Kokkoro's memories, perhaps only the observers know.

It was at this moment, as an energy seemed to be gathering in the distance, that Yhaka sensed that energy and revealed his large shield to indicate the direction in which the energy was gathering.

"Grimm explodes—!"

A violent explosion shattered Yhaka's shield, startling Kokkoro and the others. The powerful impact also blew away the surrounding poisonous mist. After Yhaka removed the large shield, Javelin and the others saw Karyl and the others standing on the tower. Karyl and the others were wearing black collars around their necks, clearly indicating that they were being controlled.

Seeing this, Kokkoro looked at Karyl in shock and said:

“Miss Karyl?! How could this be…”

Javelin looked at Karyl and the others with a worried expression and said:

"Everyone is under control..."

Even the terrifying one couldn't help but tighten his grip on the cross-shaped battle axe, clearly indicating that he was also somewhat unsettled.

Only Ehaka had a blank expression, but he roughly knew that he needed to help Karyl and the others break free from the control.

While Yhaka and the others were somewhat shocked that Karyl and the others were being controlled, Karyl and the others had no such thoughts. Even while being controlled, Karyl and the others did not hesitate to launch an attack on Yhaka and the others.

Maye raised his spear and shield and launched a rocket attack on Yuhaka and the others as the vanguard. In response to Maye's sudden attack, Yuhaka conjured a giant hammer and sent Maye flying. At that moment, Karyl's magical crystal, like a homing missile, flew towards Yuhaka in an arc.

P.S.: Sorry, my subscription rate has been a bit low lately, and I've been lacking motivation, so I've been writing slower.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1488 [Release from Control, A Strange Flood]

As Karyl's magical crystals flew towards Yhwach, Javelin and Brutal rushed over and shattered the crystals heading towards Yhwach. The next instant, Malicious and Triumph appeared in front of Javelin and Brutal, wielding rapiers and thrusting them at them.

Seeing that the Vicious ones had suddenly launched an attack, Javelin and Terrible quickly defended themselves. Although they managed to block the attack from the Vicious and Triumphs, they were still forced back.

Just as Yhaka was about to go over to help, Maye raised his spear again and thrust it at Yhaka, but it was deflected by Yhaka's tail.

"Please entrust this to me! Blessed by the Holy Light!"

Meanwhile, Kokkoro used Aurora Magic and Speed ​​Magic to assist Ehaka and the others. Thanks to Kokkoro's support magic, the group was able to turn the tables and have Ehaka suppress them.

Ehaka stomped on the ground as Maya swung his spear again, and then transformed into a spear and thrust it fiercely at the collar around Maya's neck. However, Maya used his shield to deflect Ehaka's attack, clearly understanding that he couldn't fight back against Ehaka's monstrous strength.

Javelin and Terrifying also suppressed Malicious and Triumph. Since they were all speed-type destroyers, their fight was naturally evenly matched. However, thanks to Kokkoro's buff, Malicious and Triumph were slightly suppressed.

At that moment, Karyl launched a chain lightning magic attack on Yuhka and the others. In response to Karyl's attack, Kokkoro controlled her Pokémon to interfere with Karyl, causing Karyl's magic attack to miss its target.

After successfully disrupting Karyl's attack, Kokkoro looked at the controlled Karyl and said:

"Miss Karyl, I will not allow you to harm Miss Javelin and the others!"

As if hearing Kokkoro's words, Karyl pointed her staff at Kokkoro, as if declaring war on her. However, Karyl's pose didn't last long before Maya, who had been thrown by Yuhaka, rolled around in a ball. Upon seeing this, Kokkoro's face immediately turned into an "OxO?!" expression, clearly not understanding what was going on with this sudden situation.

After Karyl and Maye collided, their eyes were spinning, indicating that they had hit each other's heads when they bumped into each other.

The culprit behind all this was Yhwach, who was flying in the air. Yhwach clapped his hands and, seeing that he had controlled the two people, took out his Baradion sword and destroyed the collars around their necks.

Although the collars were damaged, neither of them seemed to wake up, which meant that Yuhaka had used too much force.

Fortunately, Karyl and Maye had only fainted. Then, Yuhaka turned his attention to Vicious and Triumph, who were fighting Javelin and Terrible.

Yuhaka unleashed the engines behind him and swooped down towards Javelin and the others like a fighter jet. Suddenly, as if sensing something, Javelin clutched her Triumph tightly and shouted to the side, "..."

"Terrible! Hold onto Evil-chan and don't let them move!"

Upon hearing Javelin's words, although Fear didn't know what was going on, Fear, who trusted his companion, didn't hesitate to hug Vicious in front of him. Perhaps it was to take revenge, but Fear hugged him a little... hard, and Vicious's face looked like a frog that had been stepped on.

After seeing Javelin and the others capture Vicious and Triumph, Yhaka drew two Baradion swords and unleashed a flash of light from the crossed swords, shattering the thick metal collars around their necks.

After the metal collars around their necks were destroyed, the two seemed to regain their composure. However, unlike the bewildered Triumph, Malicious looked ashen-faced and patted the shoulders of the terrifying figure who was hugging him, saying:

"Oh, this is terrifying! Quick! Let go! I can't breathe!"

After seeing that Triumph and Malicious had been released from control, Terror and Javelin also released them. After releasing them, Triumph and Malicious looked confused, obviously not understanding what was going on. When they saw that they were wearing all black ship uniforms, they suddenly realized that they had been controlled earlier.

"It seems we've caused you trouble. We're sorry."

Seeing that her sisters had been freed from control, Ke Bu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two of them, saying:

"You know this, it's all thanks to Youyou and the others today, otherwise we would all have been controlled by the enemy."

Upon hearing the terrifying words, both Malicious and Triumph wore speechless expressions, while the other wore an embarrassed one. Although Triumph wouldn't say anything that would hit Malicious's sore spot, Malicious certainly wouldn't.

"To be honest, we were all under your control, but you alone defeated us all..."

Upon hearing the vicious words, Ke Bu blushed and looked at the vicious man, saying:

"No, no ruth!"

Seeing the three sisters talking, Javelin breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Phew, I'm so glad everyone's alright. By the way, where are Yuu-chan, Karyl, and the others?"

Upon hearing the question about the javelin, Yuhaka flew over and brought the unconscious Karyl and Maya over. Kokkoro, seeing Karyl unconscious, ran to her side with a worried expression. After realizing Karyl had only fainted, Kokkoro breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yuhaka:

"Thank you very much, Lady Yuyu, for bringing Miss Karyl back safely."

When Kokkoro responded, Yuhaka gave her a thumbs-up with a "=w=" expression. Seeing Yuhaka's gesture, Kokkoro also smiled and gave Yuhaka a thumbs-up in return.

But just as everyone relaxed slightly, a voice suddenly rang out, reminding Yuhaka and the others of its presence:

"Although I really wanted to congratulate you all, I'm very sorry that I didn't collect all the experimental data I needed, so I'm quite unhappy about it."

Upon hearing the voice of the other party, the vicious ones looked angrily at the sky above and said:

"It's that woman, that guy is the owner of this castle!"

Upon hearing their vicious words, Javelin looked up at the sky with great vigilance. After all, Javelin thought that the other party was very likely a Siren in disguise. After all, the poison that could affect the ship girls and the collar that could control them were things that ordinary people could not possibly make.

"Yes, that's right. I am the owner of this castle. You can call me the Dark Archmage. As for my real name, we'll tell you that when you're all alive."

Hearing their words, everyone sensed something was wrong. A tremendous tremor shook the ground, causing some to lose their footing. Javelin, looking flustered, braced himself against the floor with his spear and said:

"Earth? Earthquake?!"

In response to the question about the javelin, Yuhaka looked around as if he had noticed something and said:

"No, it's a massive flood!"

As soon as Yhaka finished speaking, a pink flood, like toilet water, rushed towards them from all directions. The Javelin and the others were caught off guard by this sight. When they did, Yhaka transformed Baradion into a rope and bound them together to prevent the flood from scattering them. As the pink flood surged in, Yhaka and the others were easily submerged like small boats in a torrent. At the same time, Yhaka used his imaginary number ability to forcibly tear a hole in this world, allowing them to escape from the strange liquid.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1489 [Royal Iris Fantasy Sandwich]

In a forest, a pink flood erupted from an imaginary portal as it opened, like a sewer being suddenly cleared. Yuhaka and the others, who were tied together inside, were swept out. After Yuhaka was freed, a sound like something shattering came from the other side of the portal, and then the portal was closed.

After being swept away, Yuhaka and the others rolled several times on the ground before crashing into a large tree and coming to a stop. Once they stopped, the ropes binding them disappeared. Yuhaka emerged from under the crowd with a "@w@" expression on her face. After swaying for a while, Yuhaka quickly shook her head to compose herself.

After Yuhaka recovered, she looked up and sensed her surroundings. When she realized she was back in the previous mirror space, she breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that they had safely returned.

After shaking off the remaining water, Yuhka turned her attention to Javelin and the others. Undoubtedly, Yuhka had sensed the toxins from the pink flood earlier, and Javelin and the others were poisoned again, which was a bit of a headache for Yuhka. However, Kokkoro and Karyl were unaffected by the toxins, which saved Yuhka the trouble of detoxifying the other two.

After Yhaka created a new house and furnished it, he carried Javelin and the others inside and began dealing with the toxins.

...........................................................................

The next day, Karyl emerged from her room looking sore and aching. She was wearing a white shirt that Yuhaka had brought her; her previous clothes had been dried by Yuhaka because they had been flooded.

"Ouch! It feels like I've fallen into a washing machine—wait, what's a washing machine?"

Looking puzzled, Karyl pondered for a moment, but clearly couldn't recall anything. This left her with a confused expression. Just then, Kokkoro, seeing Karyl awaken, looked at her and said:

"Ah, Miss Karyl, you're awake."

Hearing Kokkoro's voice, Karyl, who was deep in thought, was also interrupted. Karyl looked at Kokkoro with a surprised expression and said:

"Huh?! Koro-chan?! What are you doing here?!"

Kokkoro, seeing Karyl's surprise, broke out in a cold sweat as she replied:

"I was rescued by Lady Yuu and Miss Javelin the day before. However, at that time, Miss Karyl was controlled by the enemy, so it's normal that she doesn't remember what happened then. Also, if you'd like, please call me Kokkoro."

After hearing Kokkoro's explanation, Karyl looked confused, clearly not understanding what was going on. However, she quickly recalled when she and the others were captured, and realized that she had been controlled by the enemy. This made Karyl feel a little embarrassed; being controlled twice and having her own people attacked was a disgrace!

Seeing Karyl's embarrassed expression, Kokkoro comforted her, saying:

"Don't worry, Miss Karyl, no one was hurt because of you. Lady Yuu removed the control collars before anyone hurt anyone, so there's basically no need to worry about being controlled again."

Hearing Kokkoro's words, Karyl's eye twitched slightly. Although it sounded reassuring, for some reason Karyl felt like Kokkoro was calling her useless. However, Karyl shook her head and dismissed the thought. How could a good girl like Kokkoro be so sharp-tongued?
