To become a king and a magician

But what is the current situation?

"Beatles is dead, Angelica is defeated, and both of her class cards have been taken away... What an unexpected turn of events."

Emerging from the light, Darius Einzworth surveyed the situation within the Great Void, his gaze finally settling on Natsukawa Torato: "While I'd like to say that those two are useless trash, even if they were given class cards they wouldn't amount to anything—ultimately, it's all because of you, this unexpected factor, that the script was disrupted."

"I didn't expect there to be a magician like you in this parallel world. It seems that little girl has found a good backer."

As he spoke, Darius Einzworth threw out a class card, and a massive ice palace radiating a chilling aura instantly rose from the ground! Within a few breaths, Natsukawa Torato was imprisoned inside!

But just as the ice palace was taking shape—

"Crack!"

Xia Chuanhu kicked the Ice Palace to pieces!

The Ice Palace Barrier that runs out of oxygen after 301 seconds—the Noble Phantasm: 301-second Permanent Ice Palace (Apneic Beauty)—is, in the original work, a solid barrier that even Chloe's pseudo-spiral sword's illusionary collapse could not cause the slightest damage.

But under Arcueid's power, the so-called hardness is nothing more than something that can be destroyed with a little force.

"【Black Jade Emperor Does Not Reveal His Appearance (Authoritarian Personalism)】".

Darius's voice rang out once more, and a mysterious, deep shadow instantly bloomed beneath him, rapidly spreading around Xia Chuanhu. The moment Xia Chuanhu entered this abyss of shadow, he immediately felt a powerful suppressive force descend upon him.

(Is it not gravity, nor body control, but a direct interference with the concept of suppressing me?)

As far as the effects of a Noble Phantasm are concerned, it is already quite unique.

but--

"This won't work either."

Natsukawa Tora simply waved his hand lightly, as if something had shattered. The sound of breaking immediately rang out, and numerous cracks appeared on the surface of another class card in Darius's hand.

Looking at the two useless class cards in his hand, Darius seemed somewhat helpless and let out a long sigh: "Sigh... Two cards in a row are useless. This is quite unexpected. As an improvisational actor, isn't your personal ability a bit too outstanding?"

"I'm not here to accompany you in your performance."

Xia Chuanhu smiled.

"It's just because of some personal matters that I want to tear your bullshit script to shreds."

The moment he finished speaking, Natsukawa Tiger took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Darius, slapping him across the face!

Darius had no doubt about the power of this slap. Judging from how Xia Chuanhu was able to shatter the Ice Palace barrier with one kick, this slap could definitely kill him!

But he didn't think the slap would land on him; with his displacement magic, he could evade any attack—

"Bang------!"

The violent impact on his cheek brought Darius to a standstill.

He got hit?

How could that be! He clearly used displacement magic; Natsukawa Torato's attack should have deflected—

"Huh?"

As if suddenly realizing something, Darius's expression froze.

Displacement Magic...unavailable?

No, it's not that it's unusable; the magic itself isn't the problem. The problem lies in the space! The spatial coordinates within this massive underground cavern are a complete mess! This makes the displacement magic utterly ineffective!

"You can't use it, right?" Xia Chuanhu laughed. "Do you think I knew you were coming a long time ago? With such a long buffer period, it would be unreasonable not to prepare a big gift for you, wouldn't it?"

"A space with completely distorted coordinates, which shuts down your substitution magic."

"Could it be... that Grail girl?!"

Yes, it's only possible that Miyu told him about this place, otherwise there's no reason for Natsukawa Torato to make such a setup that's completely aimed at the Displacement Magic!

"Shouldn't we have no grudge against each other? Do you have any reason to oppose Eindsworth?"

“Normally, no. If you hadn’t come to this world and had just stayed there waiting for the end, I wouldn’t have bothered with you. But I can’t help it, since you came here to take Miyu away. I’ve been paid by a rich woman to protect her cute little sister.”

"Hahaha! So that's it, it's all about the money!"

Darius couldn't help but burst into wild laughter!

"Then perhaps I have a job that would be more suitable for you, an unknown magician, please—"

Click!

Before Darius could finish speaking, Natsukawa Torama waved his hand, and the layers of vacuum fracture domains created by the materialization of imagination tore Darius's body apart and pulverized it to the point that not even a trace of it could be seen!

"Sorry, I don't have the habit of taking on two jobs at the same time. It's first come, first served. I have to finish my current job before I can take on the next one. — Sorry for interrupting me. Where were we?"

Turning his gaze back to Angelica, Natsukawa Tora walked up to her and knelt down.

“You just said that I alone cannot defeat Einzworth, right? So now, do you think I can do it? If I remember correctly, Einzworth only had the three of you left—and now only you are left.”

"So, what are you going to do next?"

"That's how I killed him."

"Go back to your old world."

Choose whichever you like.

Xia Chuanhu asked quietly.

Looking at Natsukawa Torato so close to her, Angelica remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Now that Darius is dead, Einzworth's thousand-year-old wish has also been shattered. I have nothing left to do. I am just a puppet with no will of my own. You can do whatever you like with me."

"I see."

After a pause, Natsukawa Tora stood up and walked towards the exit.

"Well then... for now, you can come with me."

39. Meiyou: Scared.jpg

Could you please come to my house and help Grey with her homework?

One weekend, as summer vacation was coming to an end, Miyu was cleaning her house when she suddenly received a phone call from Natsukawa Tora.

Although they are in different grades, with Miyu being one grade younger than Gray, in terms of knowledge reserves, even Natsukawa Tora is far inferior to Miyu. If Miyu wanted to, she could skip a grade and go directly to university.

(Does this mean the questions for higher grades are very difficult?)

With these questions in mind, Miyu consulted Luvia before heading to the Natsukawa family's house next door.

"You came really fast, Miyu. Thank you for making this trip."

In the living room, Natsukawa Tora smiled at Miyu, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Although I could teach Grey, I thought that since you two are the same age, it would be good for you to teach her and get to know each other better. Would that be too much trouble for you?"

"No, I am very grateful for your help all this time, and I would be happy to help."

"Grey is upstairs. You can go find her in a bit. But before that, there's something else I need to tell you, something that concerns you."

"What does this have to do with me?" Miyu tilted her head in confusion. "Is it... about the class cards?"

Natsukawa Tora nodded: "I suppose so. It's also related to the class card. There was a problem at the Great Void last night, so I went to check it out and found this wayward girl—come in, Angelica."

Angelica?!

The moment Natsukawa Torato uttered that name, Miyu's face turned deathly pale, her eyes instantly filled with intense fear and dread—Natsukawa Torato felt that she now shared some common ground with Ai Haibara from the Conan set.

Upon hearing Natsukawa Torato's call, Angelica, as always, walked out of the kitchen with a blank expression.

"sapphire!"

Almost the instant she saw Angelica, Miyu took out her wand and transformed into a magical girl on the spot. She instantly jumped to the doorway furthest from Angelica and stared at her with extreme vigilance!

why?

Why would someone from Eindsworth be here?

Even though I've already arrived in a parallel world, why am I still...?

"There's no need to be so nervous, Miyu."

Miyu heard Natsukawa Tora's voice.

“Angelica is no longer your enemy, and Eindsworth is no longer your enemy either.”

"No longer...enemies?" The usually quick-witted Miyu didn't immediately grasp the meaning of those words. "...Mr. Natsukawa, what are you saying?"

"Literally, you no longer need to worry about being captured and taken back by Eindsworth. Eindsworth can no longer affect you—he was destroyed last night."

Xia Chuanhu recounted what happened last night: "Actually, a long time ago, I secretly laid a lot of traps targeting Einzworth in the Great Hollow, so that I could trip them up as soon as they arrived. After all, I had been to the Root once before and knew Einzworth's methods inside and out."

“Then last night, Eindsworth came, Angelica, another one named Beatrice, and Darius Eindsworth. Although it took some effort, I have now sent the other two, except for Angelica, to heaven—no, given their condition, I guess it would be more suitable for them to go down there.”

As he spoke, Natsukawa Tora took out Siegfried and Manny's class cards and tossed them to Miyu.

She quickly reached out and caught them, looking at the two cards in her hand with some disbelief.

That Eindsworth, was actually dealt with so easily by Natsukawa Torato without her even knowing? And even Darius disappeared from the world?

Miyu really felt like she was dreaming—no, she probably couldn't even dream of this situation. Eindhoven had left her with such a deep, deep shadow that even in her dreams, Miyu was terrified of them.

But now, this nightmare has vanished without a trace.

"Mr. Natsukawa... Waaah..."

Tears welled up in Miyu's eyes, then streamed down her face. Clutching the two class cards, Miyu began to sob softly.

"Thank you...Mr. Natsukawa...really...really...thank you..."

This is Meiyou's heartfelt gratitude.

He approached her with a box of tissues, wiped away her tears, and gently stroked her hair: "I didn't do anything that you should thank me for. You didn't ask me to do anything, and I had no reason to fight Eindsworth, so this was basically my own decision. Just think of it as me meddling."

“Meddling in other people’s business… haha…” Miyu couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “Really… thank you for meddling in other people’s business… Mr. Natsukawa.”

“I already said there’s no need to thank me. If you really want to express your gratitude, then go upstairs and teach Grey for me,” Natsukawa Tiger said with a smile. “Also, regarding Angelica… I plan to hand her over to you to deal with.”

"Huh?"

Miyu looked at Angelica, who had no expression on her face.

"Leave it to me...why?"

“Because you are the one who was hurt the most by Eindsworth. Eindsworth caused you immense harm, and your brother was also seriously injured and imprisoned because of you—Eindsworth owes you, and you must take it back with your own hands. You have no objection, do you, Angelica?”

"Please disregard my opinion and let the two of you handle the matter as you see fit."
