Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

"It's ironic that the world's most powerful nightmare is such a small child. Using such a little girl as a living sacrifice isn't entirely without compassion, but—"

"However, this is Princess Lilith's wish, and 'LYL' is the system created for this purpose."

The tank driver spoke in a tone that sounded almost boastful.

"That's right, at least we shouldn't let her sacrifice be in vain."

As Hisagi said this, a haughty smile crept onto his lips.

No sooner had they finished speaking than two young staff members working beside Hisagi and his team revealed horrified expressions.

"President, the snake's location has been captured. It is currently located 30 nautical miles from Itogami Island, at a depth of approximately 300 meters."

"Just as planned."

The tank driver laughed as he unplugged the cable connected to the main screen.

Hisagi smiled faintly, looking down at Eguchi Yutomi, who was floating in the tank inside the submarine.

"As expected, it is an ancient weapon lured by Lilith. Even if it is called a biological weapon from the age of gods, it is ultimately nothing more than a magical beast."

"Of course, otherwise it would be difficult to handle."

"It is estimated that the snake's speed is 20 knots per hour. Based on this calculation, it will probably be caught by the special zone's security net within half an hour."

The staff member stared at the big screen, trembling and filled with fear.

"Preparations for the 'Night Hawk' are complete, and it is ready to depart at any time, Chairman Hisagi."

"Very good, that's it."

"But are you really prepared to travel with me, Miss Himizaki?"

Hisagi glanced at the four-legged chariot that was about to leave, then turned his gaze to the depths of the docking facility.

Standing there was a young woman, as if she were waiting for Kusuki.

With her long black hair and black uniform, she is Kiriha Himesaki.

"Chairman Hisagi, this is an order from the Imperial Observatory."

"So please allow me to act with you."

Himesaki Kiriha bowed slightly, her smile forced.

God knows how awkward she felt reading Kiriha Himesaki's confession here.

After all, this Chairman Kusugi thought he could achieve great things, but in reality, he was already a discarded bait used by the Imperial Observatory.

Of course, she also abandoned the bait.

"Really? Your Bureau of Astronomy is really taking this matter very seriously."

"Don't worry, once I have completely tamed the 'snake,' I will remember your contributions and repay you in kind."

Hisuki's tone was exactly like that of a dictator. He nodded with satisfaction and then dived into the submarine.

Kiriha pursed her lips, and without hesitation, jumped directly into the submarine.

With the two thick hatches closed, the narrow control room was filled with silence. On the main display screen in front of the control seat, a stereoscopic image reflecting the situation at sea was displayed. In the very center of the image, a huge shadow was moving leisurely.

The pure white submarine began its stealthy journey, while everyone inside was enveloped in a sea of ​​blue.

As Hisagi gazed at the beautiful scenery in the sea, a ferocious smile appeared on his otherwise refined face.

"Now, let's begin."

"Following in the footsteps of the 'Oblivion War King' of the past, strike the Fourth Progenitor with the hammer of justice."

……

“La Freya, I think I don’t need to say much, you should understand what your main goal is this time.”

"Don't do anything unnecessary or create trouble, understand?"

Inside the royal palace of the Kingdom of Aldeqia, a beautiful woman with long, silver-white hair, a gentle and elegant appearance, and a touch of haughty nobility, waited for her daughter to look into her emerald-like eyes.

"I know, mother."

Princess La Furia Lihava of Aldiqia blinked her clear blue eyes and nodded in agreement.

"The main purpose of this trip to Itogami Island is to find my aunt Natsune quietly and take her away from Itogami Island."

"Try not to have too much contact with the Fourth Ancestor, and don't let the Fourth Ancestor realize our purpose."

"It's good that you remember it clearly."

Queen Polyphnia clearly saw through her girl's perfunctory answer and earnestly gave her another piece of advice.

"It was fine when Xia Yin was still on that island, since it wasn't that dangerous. It would be better for her to just stay there peacefully."

“But things are different now. The Fourth Ancestor has already awakened on that island.”

"Moreover, according to our reliable sources, the topic that the Whispering Garden is preparing to discuss this time seems to be whether to designate Itogami Island as the territory of the Fourth Progenitor."

“It’s not necessarily a bad thing for a True Ancestor to be a ruler, but it’s not necessarily a good thing for a high-level spiritual medium.”

“If Xia Yin continues to live on that island, she will very likely be enslaved in the future.”

This is not Polyphnia's alarmist statement.

In fact, this is how society is now; the blood of human mediums is extremely alluring to vampires.

Even if the True Ancestor is unmoved, the vampires under his command will be.

Therefore, no medium with a lineage or family tradition would live in vampire territory.

"I know, I will be careful."

"Your Highness La Fria, we'll be there soon."

Just then, a sudden sound startled La Folia awake from her sleep. La Folia slowly opened her eyes, and the scenery rushing past the window came into view.

"Have we arrived, Eustina?"

The silver princess turned her head, yawned gracefully, and asked softly.

"Yes, the plane has entered Itogami Island's airspace and is expected to land in five minutes."

"Please be prepared, the 'Witch of the Gap' will be waiting for you at the airport."

They can shake off the dreams in their minds; this is the spiritual vision of these mediums. Sometimes, things from the past and future will appear in their dreams.

"I see."

The silver princess nodded slightly, took a few steps, and went directly to the airplane's washroom, turning on the tap.

Even if a woman is naturally beautiful, she won't look particularly pretty when she's just woken up.

Beautiful women need to dress up and groom themselves.

What she needed to do now was to quickly touch up her eye makeup, wipe away the drool from the corner of her mouth, and let the cold water clear her head.

“Buzz buzz—!”

The plane was shaking violently, and the scenery outside the window gave the impression of a rapid descent. LaFria returned to her seat and fastened her seatbelt.

This aircraft is the top secret of their Aldeqia Throne, carrying Aldeqia's latest magical technology, and its flight speed is extraordinary.

Not wearing a seatbelt is really dangerous.

"Mother, even if you say that, I will not give up my dream."

……

Itogami Island, a military airfield.

The special plane landed slowly, and the gangway was connected.

La Fria slowly walked out of the cabin door, and waiting for her at the bottom of the gangway was Nangong Nayue, who was holding a parasol and wearing a short-sleeved Gothic Lolita outfit, waiting for her expressionlessly.

"Welcome, Your Highness."

"You've really gone to a lot of trouble this time, Your Highness."

La Fria quickly stepped off the gangway and bowed slightly to Nagaku Nagaku.

Although she is the first princess of Aldeqia, a country with advanced magical technology, Nangong Nayue is also one of the world's top magic attackers. Nangong Nayue, the "Witch of the Gap," is absolutely worthy of such a bow from the princess.

"It's nothing, it's how it should be."

Nangong Nayue nodded slightly.

"Your itinerary on Itogami Island will be arranged by me, and the dinner meeting with the True Ancestor will be tonight."

"This is the bodyguard that Itogami Island has temporarily assigned to you, Kirasaka Sayaka."

As Nangong Nayue finished speaking, Kirasaka Sayaka, who stood beside Nangong Nayue like a role model, took a step forward.

"Sayaka? Then I'll be looking after you from now on?"

La Freya tilted her head, a pure smile playing on her lips, and stretched out her soft, boneless little hand.

Saya Kirasaka was also somewhat surprised, but she did not hesitate and quickly extended her hand to shake hands with La Fria.

"It is I who need your guidance, but I will do my utmost to protect your safety, Your Highness."

Sayaka Kirasaka's answer was powerful and resolute.

There's a reason why she's here today; she should have been Makoto Haramura's bodyguard.

The reason is that her professional skills are not perfect, and she is still far from being able to protect Haramura Makoto and solve problems for him.

So she was sent here today to gain experience and practice with La Fria.

"You don't need to call me Princess, just call me La Fria, Sayaka."

"Please address me directly as such, Your Excellency Nangong."

It's a very simple sales pitch.

Even with her simple style, coupled with La Fria's smile, it's easy to make people like her.

"so be it."

"It will be a long time before we meet the Fourth Ancestor."

"La Freya, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Clearly, Nangong Nayue, who is now traveling in her true form, is starting to get impatient with the sweltering heat.

Although she didn't say it directly, she's already urging La Fria to leave.

"That's true."

"We can't just waste this precious time."

La Fria nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Nangong Nayue, a strange smile appearing on her lips.

“Speaking of which, I heard that Nangong Gongmo is also a teacher at a school. Why don’t we go and visit it first? I’m very interested in a school where the ‘Witch of the Gap’ can teach personally.”

"Oh?"

Nangong Nayue raised her little head and scanned La Fria with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Are you interested in Rainbow Sea Academy?"

"I don't know what Rainbow Ocean Academy is. I'm just interested in the academy where the 'Witch of the Gap' teaches."

La Fria calmly endured Nangong Nayue's piercing gaze.

Nangong Nayue chuckled softly, then suddenly her gaze focused on the area directly behind La Fria.

"Really, let's go then."

……

"What's wrong, Lord Anhe?"

The middle-aged man, dressed in a black military uniform and with an upright posture, looked at the young man in a suit with some curiosity.

"I must say, she truly lives up to her title of 'Witch of the Gap.' I feel like she noticed me just now."

"Hahaha."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if they notice, right?"

"Besides, you already prepared for the other side a long time ago. Even if they noticed, they shouldn't have time to worry about us right now."
