Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

"Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense and revive me now. If you don't revive me, I'll just drag you out of here."

The Great Witch is really dead, just as Nikaido Hiro said, she committed suicide.

But the Great Witch is the Great Witch; even if she dies, her soul remains, and it's not difficult to revive her. The library records a ritual whereby all thirteen girls must become witches and perform the ritual with a special sword, allowing the Great Witch to revive by absorbing the witch's essence from them.

This stuff is obviously utter nonsense.

Since resurrection is so simple, it means that the Great Witch can take the initiative and directly absorb the witch factor to resurrect without any damage, skipping all the formalities like rituals.

"..."

The Great Witch Tsukishiro Yuki seemed to twitch her lips, but she really couldn't do anything about Rakuki. She could only revive on the spot in a flash and appear on the scene.

"Little Snow!"

Before Nikaido Hiro and Sakura Emma could even rejoice that they had lost their witch genes and were no longer at risk of becoming witches, they looked at their former friend with a mixture of surprise and confusion.

"Why, why did you do this, Xiaoxue!"

Yuki Tsukishiro smiled faintly, "Why? Didn't this Kirieloid already explain it very clearly?"

"I'm not asking why you want to take revenge on humans and spread the witch factor, Yuki. I'm asking you why you were bullied by people and why you wanted to commit suicide!" Nikaido Hiro shouted sternly.

She certainly wanted to talk about revenge, but bullying was a bigger concern than that.

She simply couldn't understand it. How could a great witch be bullied by humans, and even driven to suicide?

She felt there must be something hidden in it!

"..."

Yuki Tsukishiro remained silent for a moment, maintaining a faint smile, "Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you everything—it's part of the revenge."

The others were taken aback: "A part of the revenge?"

"Correct."

Yuki Tsukishiro smiled and said slowly, like a snowflake, "Among you, only the pure Emma has no magic. Why is that?"

"Was she really captured by mistake? No, Emma has magic, and she's the most powerful one among you. It's the strongest magic I specially developed, the [Witch Slayer]."

"Witch Factor?" The girls repeated the word, and based on the name, they vaguely thought of a certain possibility.

"You figured it out, didn't you?"

Yuki Tsukishiro smiled and said, "That's right, just as you think. [Witch Kill] is invincible when facing enemies with witch factors. Before killing all enemies with witch factors, she can ignore nuclear attacks, fly at supersonic speeds all over the world, has endless stamina, and her attack power can penetrate all matter."

"This is my revenge plan: to spread witch genes so that the whole world is infected with them, and then to pass the witch assassin to Emma so that she can destroy humanity, but..."

She glanced at the prison.

Unexpected changes, what side will the Kirieloids take? That's completely unpredictable.

"How could this happen..." Sakura Emma murmured to herself, "Me, me, am I going to destroy all of humanity? How could I do such a thing, Yuki!"

“Why not? Emma, ​​you already know the terrible crimes you humans have committed against us. So, I am simply giving back in kind. Why can’t I? It’s justified. It’s a just revenge, Emma.”

Tsukishiro Yuki spoke softly, a sentence that left the girls speechless.

They could certainly say things like, "The humans of the past are not the humans of today. It's wrong for you to seek revenge on the humans of today. The humans of today are not the same people who destroyed the witch race."

Or statements that sound correct, such as, "The invaders of Witch Island were only the upper echelons of humanity, just a part of humanity. If you want revenge, you shouldn't target all of humanity."

But actually, it's useless.

Because Tsukishiro Yuki said two words, the two most correct words.

Reciprocity.

Humans wiped out the witch race, so the witches also destroyed the human race.

That's actually equivalent, isn't it?

You say there are innocent people among humans, but the witches of that time were not just innocent; their entire race was innocent, yet they were still wiped out by humans.

Now, Yukishiro is retaliating against humanity for the crimes they committed against them. Isn't that acceptable?

Although this is indeed wrong, it is fair and equal.

You can't tell a victim of a senseless genocide that humanity is innocent, because that's just rubbing salt into her wounds.

The so-called wrongdoing is wrong under the premise that Tsukishiro Yuki wants to be a good person. But she has already chosen to take revenge in this way, and she has already suffered this kind of treatment. Does she still want to be a good person in the eyes of humans?

How ridiculous.

But the truth is really that ridiculous.

While the girls were all silent, racking their brains to figure out how to persuade Tsukishiro Yuki not to do something so crazy, Ryouki simply waved his hand speechlessly, "Alright, alright, stop pretending. I find your pretense annoying, and you're such a nag. You're being too much of a literary type."

"This guy has lived for at least several hundred years, yet he's acting so stubborn, like a child. Is this a side effect of being too saintly?"

Ryouki's interruption stunned Tsukishiro Yuki, as well as the girls, including Hyokami Meruru, who had been kneeling on the ground, wanting to talk to the great witch Tsukishiro Yuki but too afraid to do so.

Tsukishiro Yuki's eyes turned hostile: "What did you say?"

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not afraid of you," Lao Ji said with a smirk, clapping his hands to draw everyone's attention. "Alright, alright, stop thinking nonsense. I've seen more people than you've eaten salt. Hmph, I can understand what Lao Xue is thinking in an instant."

"The Master Class of the God of Loki is in session! Listen up, everyone!"

Rakuji, now the center of attention, grumbled and, abandoning any pretense of mystery, laid bare his true intentions, dissecting Tsukishiro Yuki's mindset through a retrospective analysis of her actions:

"Why did she bully others? Why did she commit suicide? If you think about it carefully, you'll realize that this step wasn't necessary in her revenge plan at all. In other words, she brought it on herself. Why is that?"

"Since she could pass on the Witch Slayer spell to Emma, ​​it proves that she could easily use this spell to kill all of humanity herself, so why go through all that trouble? The reason she went through all that trouble is obviously because she still can't bring herself to kill, so she had Emma, ​​who is human, do it."

"Then why bully her? Because she's kind!"

"Even though she wanted to give magic to humans so that they could kill each other, she couldn't bear to, so she became a student and went to school to personally suffer the bullying."

"For her, the more she is bullied by humans, the more she can understand the evil of humans, which strengthens her desire for revenge."

"At the same time, while she was being bullied, she was also testing Emma, ​​the chosen one. If Emma was bullied to the point of suicide and felt the evil of humanity and became a witch, and used the witch to kill the world, that would be the situation she wanted to see."

"But on the other hand, if Emma hadn't been willing to become a witch after her suicide, and hadn't been willing to be disappointed in humanity and destroy the world, she wouldn't have intervened anymore. It's almost as if she would have given up on revenge against humanity, wouldn't it?"

The logic is very clear.

Because Yuki Tsukishiro's suicide was a genuine suicide, leaving only her soul, and the Witch Slayer skill had already been passed on to Emma and was no longer in her body, Yuki Tsukishiro would be powerless to stop it unless Emma activated the Witch Slayer skill.

After her suicide, Emma couldn't accept the reality, but instead of turning into a witch, she triggered her brain's protective mechanism and fantasized that she was being bullied by Hero.

From that time until now, Yukishiro has not done anything to Emma again, which basically means she has given up on revenge.

As for Emma being captured by humans and taken to the witch prison, it was an accident created by humans themselves. Not everyone with a high concentration of witches will necessarily be detected and captured.

In other words, to sum it all up, why was she bullied? Why did she become friends with Hiro Emma? Why did she commit suicide?

There's really no other reason; it's just that Yuki Tsukishiro's left and right hemispheres are at odds. Her overly kind nature prevents her from killing humans or seeking revenge, while her feelings for her fellow humans make her want to take revenge on them.

So they opted for this unconventional compromise, leaving everything to Emma.

The reason it was handed over to Emma instead of someone else is probably because Emma is kind enough.

This can be seen from the fact that Emma fantasizes about being isolated and bullied by Heero, yet she doesn't hate Heero at all, and instead thinks about making up with him every day.

When Nikaido Hiro questioned Tsukishiro Yuki about why she was bullied and committed suicide, Tsukishiro Yuki actually avoided the question.

The reason she avoids it is because she doesn't want others to know about her inner conflict, because she is still struggling with whether or not to take revenge on humanity!

"Is that really how it is?"

Hearing Laoji's explanation, the girls were all shocked. Even now, they were still struggling with whether or not to take revenge on humanity.

Although they are all human beings, whether out of self-preservation or out of identification with humanity as a whole, they absolutely do not want Yuki Tsukishiro to destroy the world.

But when they saw that Yukishiro, who had suffered so much, still couldn't bring herself to take revenge on humanity, the girls felt a subtle pity for her.

The witch clan is just too pathetic, too pitiful!

"Lady the Great Witch..."

Finally, Meru found her chance. She staggered up to Yuki Tsukishiro, crying, and begged her, "Whether you want to destroy the world or give up, please let me be with you before you kill me, Great Witch!"

Yuki Tsukishiro's face stiffened as Laoji mercilessly pointed out her conflicted feelings. She suddenly became quite at a loss, and when she saw Meruru, who had remained loyal to her for hundreds of years, she became even more conflicted: "Meruru..."

What should I do?

"Ah, I understand!"

Just then, Detective Tachibana Yukiri suddenly had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed in realization:

"Now I know why the big shots are so confident in not being afraid of Mr. Gay: because there have been witches of races other than humans before!"

"Witches are much more powerful than humans, but they were still wiped out by humans because of their kindness. With this precedent, big shots will think that Mr. Gay is just like the witches, the type who can be manipulated by morality and will not fight back no matter how he is bullied!"

In the beginning, the bigwigs were unsure about the character of the Kirieloids.

But after these past few days, the big shots have seen that the Kirieloids would decipher witch script for a dozen or so human girls they didn't even know, wasting their time trying to save them.

Those important figures compared the witch race of the past, slapped their foreheads, and immediately merged the two into one, concluding that the Kirieloids were on the same moral high ground as the witch race and could be manipulated at will.

That's why they suddenly turned on each other today.

This confidence among the important figures did not appear suddenly, but rather the precedent set by the witch clan led them to develop a path dependency.

What emboldens them to use morality to manipulate the Kirieloids is actually the experience of the witch clan!

"Crack!"

Just as Tachibana Sherry solved the puzzle and the other girls understood, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out.

This prison was already full of surveillance set up by big shots, especially in the past few days when the girl's file was delivered, drones were also arranged to be installed here with new equipment, which can be used to communicate remotely.

"Hehehe... That's right, exactly!"

Click!

A large number of instruments were activated at once, and the condescending voices of the important figures suddenly appeared, resounding throughout the hall.

Both their tone and manner of speaking were so condescending that one could easily imagine the person on the other end of the line, radiating an air of superiority and regarding everyone on this side—whether it be the human girl, the warden, the great witch, or the Kirieloids—as trash and inferior garbage.

Nanoha Kurobe couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "We've already discovered your strength, so why do you still dare to be so arrogant!"

"So what if you found out?" the big shot sneered. "So what if they know? Don't those witches know they're too kind and too weak? But so what? They still didn't dare to lay a hand on us, and we wiped them all out."

"The same applies now!"

"Great Witch Tsukishiro Yuki, Kirieloid II, kneel down immediately, submit to us, and turn your power into ours to serve us! Otherwise, we will send men to kill those girls!"
