Did the Heroic Spirit I conquered become a reality?

"Hehehe... It seems your little 'game' isn't going too smoothly?"

Ashiya Dōman broke the tranquility of the divine realm by speaking first in his sticky, old-fashioned Japanese tone.

“That human named Tohsaka Yu is more troublesome than I expected.” The alien god’s voice was devoid of any emotion. “He warned me of and thwarted all the ambushes I prepared.”

"Oh my, oh my? Is that so?" Ashiya Dōman feigned surprise, covering his mouth with his sleeve. "That little fox dares to betray you, the supreme 'god'? She deserves to die a thousand deaths."

While he uttered flattering words, a gloating, mischievous glint shone deep in his eyes.

“Betrayal? That’s not the point,” the alien god said calmly. “She was simply fulfilling a contract with another ‘victor.’ But the problem is… now, four ‘beasts’ have gathered around that man.”

Upon hearing this number, Ashiya Dōman's fawning smile froze for a moment.

But it was quickly replaced by a more frenzied, more joyful, twisted smile.

He then let out his signature, tooth-grinding laugh.

"How interesting! How absurd! A human being simultaneously accompanied by four pillars of 'human evil'! This is truly... delightful!"

He smiled and bowed deeply to the god on the throne.

“But, my respected, great ‘God,’ you seem to be overcomplicating the issue.”

"If so many powerful Beasts, even you, were to appear on Earth at the same time..."

A pure, wicked smile appeared on his face.

"...Then all we need to do is take care of Tohsaka Yu himself, the 'caster'..."

"Isn't that enough?"

"..."

The alien god's indifferent golden eyes flickered slightly.

Immediately, a cold smile, full of "amusing" meaning, appeared on His face.

"……makes sense."

He turned his gaze to the wicked Onmyoji with a gleeful expression.

"Ashiya Doman."

"The stage is now in your hands."

"Go get ready."

……

Clock tower.

The afternoon sun streamed through the old, intricately carved windows, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

After finishing her lesson preparations as a professor, Tohsaka Yu leaned back in her chair, looking somewhat tired.

However, just as he closed his eyes, preparing to take a short rest, an incredibly slender, light, and slightly fragrant body suddenly pressed against him silently from behind.

A pair of fair, small hands gently encircled his neck.

"Yu..."

The girl's soft murmur, like heavenly music, filled with love and longing, gently rang in his ears.

Yu Tohsaka didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

He relaxed his body and leaned his back completely against the slender and soft body behind him.

Seemingly sensing the boy's dependence, Sajō Aika let out a cute nasal sound, like a kitten, full of happiness and contentment.

She gently pressed her flawless, princess-like face against Tohsaka Yu's cheek and rubbed it affectionately.

"Yu... have you been getting more bugs around you lately?" Her voice carried a hint of childlike, innocent dissatisfaction. "You only need me by your side."

Yu Tohsaka was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what Ayaka Sajou meant by "insect". She said helplessly, "Kouyanskaya is now bound to my Anchor of Origin. This can be considered a kind of friendship between colleagues... I don't have any special relationship with her."

"Really? You never thought about touching her body with your own hands or anything like that...?" Aika Sajou stared at him.

Yu Tohsaka: "..."

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, but now that she did, some unpleasant images started flashing through Yu Tohsaka's mind.

He quickly shook his head, dismissing these random thoughts, and said, "Alright, stop messing around."

He reached out and gently took the girl's small hand in his.

"Hmm~"

Ai Ge let out a satisfied, sweet voice again. Instead of letting go, she hugged the boy even tighter.

She peeked out from behind him and gently rested her chin on Tohsaka Yu's shoulder.

Then, she turned her head, her pure and bright eyes gazing softly at the boy.

Before Tohsaka Yu could react, the girl's soft, slightly cool, delicate cherry lips gently pressed against his lips.

"Well……"

It was a kiss filled with desire, and incredibly sweet.

But at the same time, it also carries an undeniable "love" that seems to want to completely possess Tohsaka Yu's soul.

Yu Tohsaka felt her mind go completely blank for a moment.

Just as the two were being intimate, Aika Sajou's small, fair hand, which wasn't holding him, seemed to have its own consciousness and silently landed on his thigh.

Then, the little hand moved slowly, as if it were conducting some new and interesting exploration.

"—!"

This extremely provocative and daring move caused Tohsaka Yu's body to stiffen instantly.

However, at that moment, Aika Sajou's movements suddenly paused slightly.

"It looks like..."

She slowly raised her flawless face, her pure eyes, which should have only reflected the image of her lover, inadvertently glancing out the window not far away.

It was as if, through the barriers of time and space, I saw some oblivious "little thing" quietly spying on this place.

A sweet, innocent smile slowly appeared on her face.

“...You’re being watched, Yu.”

Almost the instant Ayaka Sajo finished speaking, an indescribable, sticky, and ominous magical force, without warning, like a dark tide, instantly enveloped the entire office!

Volume 1: Chapter 152 The Death of Tohsaka Yu? (7,000 words)

That sticky and ominous magic instantly filled the entire space.

The light in the office was swallowed by an invisible darkness, and countless eerie runes, like living things, began to appear on the walls and floor.

"Hehehe...hehehehe..."

A chilling, androgynous laugh, neither male nor female, echoed from the shadowy corner of the room.

Yu Tohsaka's body instantly entered the highest level of alert.

He immediately shielded Sajou Aika behind him.

However, on Ayaka Sajou's flawless face, there still lingered that sweet, innocent smile.

She didn't even turn around to look at the uninvited guest; she just puffed out her cheeks slightly, somewhat displeased.

—This “little bug” disturbed her and You’s most precious time together.

That's truly unforgivable.

Yu Tohsaka looked at the figure slowly emerging from the shadows, his eyes instantly turning wary, and slowly said, "...Ashiya Doman."

"Oh my, oh my? To be able to recognize this old man at a glance, you truly are worthy of being a being that even that 'god' finds troublesome?"

Ashiya Michi's face was plastered with a malicious smile. He flicked the wide sleeves of his hunting robe and spoke in an exaggerated tone, as if performing a Noh play:

"Nice to meet you, Lord Tohsaka Yu. I am Ashiya Dōman, and I have come by order of my lord to... offer you the final 'blessing' of 'death'!"

Before he finished speaking, he formed a hand seal, and endless black talismans filled with curses and resentment shot out from all directions towards Tohsaka Yu like a storm!

Each talisman contains a vicious curse powerful enough to kill a top-tier magician on the spot!

However, Yu Tohsaka had not yet had a chance to make a move.

Sajou Aika, who was standing in front of him, simply waved her small, fair hand forward with a hint of impatience.

It was as if they were just shooing away a fly that was getting in their way.

In an instant.

The whole world seemed to have pressed the mute button.

The black talismans, carrying immense resentment and malice, melted and decomposed silently the moment they approached within three meters of the two people, like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun. In the end, they transformed into the most primitive and pure magical particles and dissipated into the air.

Ashiya Doman's confident yet malicious smile froze instantly.

"……what?"

"It's noisy."

Sajou Aika finally turned around slowly.

Her eyes, which should have been pure and untainted, were now staring at Ashiya Dōman with a cold, emotionless gaze, as if she were looking at trash.

"How dare a mere insect disturb my private time with Yu?"

Her voice was still sweet.

But beneath that sweetness lies a chilling coldness capable of freezing everything.

"—Unforgivable."

Sajou Aika calmly announced the other's "ending".

She didn't make any unnecessary movements; she simply stared at Ashiya Dōman with her cold, emotionless eyes.

The next moment, an absolute force from the "root" that was enough to "deny" its existence enveloped Ashiya Dōman!

However, just as that force was about to touch Ashiya Doman—

Ashiya Dōman let out his signature, tooth-grinding smirk.

Suddenly, strange divine runes, filled with chaos and order, utterly contradictory and not belonging to this planet, appeared in the space in front of him!

That power, which was enough to completely erase any existence from the causal level, was actually distorted and deflected by this divine rune!

"What?" For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared on Aika Sajou's innocent and beautiful face.

"Hehehe... It's truly an honor for this old man to surprise you."

Ashiya Dōman, with a smug smile on his face, swung his wide sleeves and said, "But in order to 'welcome' someone of your caliber, we have long been fully prepared."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire office space began to distort and change violently!

This place has been completely enveloped by a special barrier prepared by the alien god himself, which isolates human reason and planetary laws!

Immediately afterward, a red-haired man in a kimono, with a focused expression, silently appeared beside Ashiya Dōman.

He said nothing, but slowly drew the knife from his waist.

——Senko Muramasa!

"..."

Looking at the onmyoji who was determined to take risks, and the swordsmith who exuded an aura of "being forged through countless trials," a cold glint flashed in Ayaka Sajou's pure eyes.

She discovered that her omnipotent connection with the "Root" was being slightly "interfered" with within this strange barrier.

Although she remains powerful, she can no longer erase everything as easily as she can in the outside world.

At this moment, even Ayaka Sajou felt a bit overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, the moment Yu Tohsaka saw the powerful enemy appear, he immediately tried to communicate with the "Anchor of the Primal"!

However, he soon discovered to his horror that the connection between himself and the “Original Anchor” that was deeply imprinted in his soul was now as if covered by a thick “barrier”!

He could sense their presence, but he was completely unable to summon their power here!

"It's no use," Ashiya Dōman said with a chuckle. "To prevent your amusing summoning magic, my lord specially added a 'summoning isolation' barrier to this barrier."
