Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

La Freya got the answer she wanted and instantly beamed with joy.

"Then I really look forward to that day."

"Mist Leaf?"

The sudden sound interrupted the conversation between the two and drew everyone's attention to Eguchi Yutomi, who had just opened her eyes.

Kiriha Himesaki also broke away from the group instantly.

She went straight to Eguchi Yutomi's side.

"What...what's going on?"

Why didn't Riyu come out?

Clearly, Eguchi Yutomi's pupils, which had just woken up from her sleep, were filled with confusion.

Her current memory is still stuck on her last conversation with Kiriha Himesaki before she fell into a deep sleep.

They had agreed that at the moment of connection, Riru's personality would be activated and she would devour Kusugi.

However, the situation is now quite clear.

Why is there Wuye, who shouldn't be here, and other people she doesn't know, in the cockpit that should have been just for her?

"I'm sorry, Yuhime."

At this moment, Kiriha Himesaki didn't know what to say.

Perhaps my actions were for the good of my pupils.

However, this does not change the fact that I interfered with Yuhime Eguchi's own choice.

"Mist Leaf, then who are they?"

Eguchi Yutomi sighed inwardly.

She didn't make a scene or throw a tantrum; she seemed to accept everything quite calmly.

He accepted that his suicide attempt had failed.

This is not the behavior expected of a ten-year-old girl.

But very helpless.

This is the case.

Her unusual upbringing has given Eguchi Yutomi a maturity far beyond her years.

Or rather, if she didn't have this maturity, she wouldn't have been able to devise a plan to completely destroy Lilith by committing suicide through Leviathan.

“His Majesty the Fourth True Ancestor, the Sword Wizard of the Lion King Organization, and Her Highness the First Princess of Aldeqia.”

"I'm sorry, Yuhime."

"I lied to you from the very beginning."

"Never mind, Misty Leaf."

At least on the surface, Eguchi Yutomi didn't seem to be planning to be harsh on Himesaki Kiriha.

She turned her gaze to Makoto Haramura.

He gripped the sides of his oversized coat tightly with both hands.

"What are your plans?"

"laugh!"

Unable to hold back, Makoto Haramura immediately chuckled and silenced the noise.

Immediately, his originally pale gold pupils turned pink.

In that instant when their eyes met.

Eguchi Yutomi's pupils dilated instantly, and an unnatural flush appeared on her face.

Do you think your power is worth my coveting?

Eguchi Yutomi, who had just been in an abnormal state, returned to normal when Haramura Makoto spoke.

She paused for a moment, then shook her little head.

She is the world's most powerful nightmare.

Theoretically speaking, her charm is the strongest, and no other species should be able to drive her into a state of mental derangement.

The problem is, she was indeed bewitched just now.

As a nightmare, she was bewitched by the True Ancestor's familiar.

How could someone like her possibly need such half-baked charm?

"Then you?"

"Despite the problems with your actions, I have no interest in taking your life."

Even if Yutomi Eguchi's ideas were righteous, in her plan, she ultimately made some of the residents of Itogami Island the victims.

However, he was ultimately not injured.

He could also choose not to care about this.

A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Eguchi Yutomi's eyes.

It seems she was indeed hoping that Makoto Haramura would take her life.

Perhaps in her eyes, the all-powerful True Ancestor might have a way to kill her and Lilith inside her.

"Why not think about completely destroying Lilith's soul and taking control of this nightmare power yourself?"

"Instead, he was always thinking about taking Lilith down with him."

"How is that even possible?"

Eguchi Yutomi gave a bitter smile.

Lilith's legacy is not something simple; rather than a soul, it is more like a special substance.

In fact, there are quite a few magic tricks in this world that target the soul.

After all, many magic tricks involve the level of the soul.

For example, the lineage of the Anbaina family.

However, Lilith's legacy has been passed down from ancient times to the present day.

There were also successors of Lilith who tried to solve this problem during that time.

But without exception, not a single one succeeded.

Unlike others where the two souls are clearly separated, this one is different because the two souls coexist in one body.

Lilith's soul will become entangled with the soul of each of her hosts.

It will only leave just before the host dies.

That's why Yutomi Eguchi chose to die inside Leviathan.

This prevents Lilith's soul from escaping this barrier.

"There is a way to solve every difficulty and problem in the world."

"Some things are considered unsolvable simply because you are not at a level where you can access the solutions."

Makoto Haramura spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone somewhat nonchalant.

However, Eguchi Yutomi's eyes lit up instantly.

"However, some things come at a price."

“I will only give her the reward she deserves after she has demonstrated value to me.”

Makoto Haramura's words effectively shut down what Yutomi Eguchi was about to say.

However, Eguchi Yutomi is extremely excited right now.

After all, she now has a standard solution for obtaining the answer.

"I will work hard."

"Rumble..."

Just as Yutomi Eguchi was nodding vigorously, a violent tremor suddenly rang out.

"what happened?"

La Freya exclaimed in surprise.

Makoto Haramura, however, frowned slightly.

"It seems like the main foundation of Itogami Island is shaking, no, it's broken."

Chapter 263 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron

The lowest level of the Foundation Gate is located 220 meters below the sea surface.

This place is like an eternal prison, hidden deep in the ocean floor, beyond the reach of even the deepest sea.

The conical outer wall, designed to withstand high water pressure, bears a resemblance to the mythical Tower of Babylon.

The role played by this layer is very similar to that of the headstock used to wind the strings of stringed instruments such as the violin.

They can adjust the connecting steel cables extending from the four artificial islands, thereby suppressing vibrations throughout the island and keeping it safe and sound.

The steel cables that extend from the outer wall of the Foundation Gate are wrapped around the pillars at the lowest level.

The cable, made of approximately 65,000 steel cables twisted together, is 1,650 millimeters in diameter.

The ridiculously large winch is controlled by a motor with the power of a power plant to manage the cables.

The overwhelming weight of the steel, the imposing presence of the drive mechanism that conceals explosive power, and the intense water pressure enveloping the building all contribute to making the air in this layer thick and viscous.

The airtight wall at the bottom of the partition was creaking and screaming as it was gradually being forcibly pried open.

What was revealed when the 70-centimeter-thick armor was torn open like aluminum foil was a silver-white greatsword gleaming with sharpness.

"Target confirmed."

The woman, who looked quite heroic and was holding a greatsword, put away her weapon and stood aside.

"It seems that the information provided by that guy, Akishige Yase, was indeed correct."

An elderly man with completely white hair walked in.

His face was full of wrinkles, but his pupils were not cloudy; instead, they contained the sharp gleam of youth.

"However, why would Yase Kenji provide this kind of information, Master?"

"The Yase family's entire foundation is on Itogami Island, isn't it?"

“If our plan succeeds, the Yase family will also suffer heavy losses.”

A grown woman was standing next to the old man.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with a graceful and charming demeanor.

Her attire was also a standard women's suit skirt, which looked quite elegant.

"That's not how it works."

"According to intelligence, Itogami Island was affected by the aftereffects of the battle between the Fourth Progenitor and the Third Progenitor some time ago."

“During the post-disaster reconstruction, Akishige Yase transferred a large amount of his assets.”

"Would he really be willing to give up his status?"

The woman in the suit still didn't quite understand.

The Yase family is not only wealthy on Itogami Island, but more importantly, they hold a significant position there.

The Yase family, who have long held control of the military, are in a sense the local tyrants of Itogami Island.

How could he possibly give up such a position?

"What status does the Yase family still have?"
