Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Even the closest relationships can turn into bitter enemies over something like this.

Therefore, he had absolutely no hope that he would survive.

Of course, he wouldn't hold a grudge.

After all, those were people her own brother found himself, so it's perfectly normal for him to save his own life.

The only person he could resent was his father, who had brought him to this point.

"Let the base tree live."

Yase Motoki's body trembled, and he looked at his brother with a shocked expression.

He now doubts whether he is hallucinating.

"why?"

"No reason."

"You are more suitable than me to revitalize the Yase family, nothing more."

Yase Ikuma slowly closed his eyes, seemingly preparing to await death.

In a sense, he was someone who valued the development of the family even more than Akishige Yase.

However, Akishige Yase can be selfish in many ways.

But he won't.

Faced with a choice, even he himself could be sacrificed.

As for why Yase Motoki was chosen as the successor, it's because of Yase Motoki's childhood friend, Aiba Asagi from the Aiba family.

The Yase family is completely gone.

Even if he survives on this island, he will only face great difficulties, since he was involved in many things concerning the Yase family and will definitely be retaliated against afterward.

But his younger brother was different.

He hasn't yet gotten involved in the family business, and he's an old acquaintance of the youngest daughter of the powerful Ayu family. With Ayu Asagi's protection, as long as Yase Motoki doesn't make any more fundamental mistakes, he'll be safe and sound in the future and rise to prominence.

For this, he was willing to sacrifice himself.

"..."

"..."

Yase Ikuma's Adam's apple bobbed; the scene he had envisioned did not seem to be unfolding.

He seems to still be alive.

He was certain that the air he was breathing was the air of Itogami Island.

When he tentatively opened his eyes, wanting to use his own vision to confirm the situation...

But they discovered that the person who judged their fate was no longer there.

"Alright, no need to look anymore."

"He's already gone. You made the right choice; your life is saved."

Nangong Nayue sneered, then her gaze fell on the bewildered Yase Motoki.

“From the very beginning, with me and Aiba Asagi around, your life will be fine, after all, you haven’t done anything wrong.”

"The matter of your Yase family is over."

"What happens next is entirely up to you."

After saying those words, Nangong Nayue also left under the cover of night.

The two brothers who remained looked at each other, their expressions complicated.

But more than anything, I feel grateful to have survived.

……

Itogami Island, inside Makoto Haramura's villa.

The spacious hall was filled with people sitting at the long dining table.

Seated in the main seat, Makoto Haramura looked down at the people below, who could now be considered his main force in this world, and spoke.

"Everyone did a great job this time."

"If it weren't for you, Itogami Island would have suffered even greater losses. Thank you all for your hard work."

"this is what we are supposed to do."

No one could accept his gratitude, and everyone responded immediately.

Makoto Haramura gave a faint smile.

"Blue Feather Immortal Abode, what is the extent of the damage to Itogami Island this time?"

The first question was left to Aiba Asagi's father, who is currently the highest-ranking political figure on Itogami Island.

The current mayor of Itogami Island, Aiba Sensai.

"Overall, the situation is still quite serious."

"The death toll is still undetermined, but the number of missing persons is estimated to be around 20,000."

"The economic losses are estimated to be in the range of 17 trillion."

It's clear that Lan Yu Xian Zhai had done a very detailed survey before coming here.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to produce such highly accurate figures.

However, this loss is truly enormous.

It seems like only 20,000 people have gone missing, right? In reality, the entire Itogami Island only has 420,000 people.

The loss of these 20,000 people represents one-twentieth of the total population.

After all, anyone familiar with disaster statistics knows that in the event of such a natural disaster, being missing is almost equivalent to being dead, and this number will only increase, not decrease, in the future.

Moreover, 17 trillion is an extremely high figure.

Even if the unit is Japanese yen, we still have to take into account Itogami Island's usual output.

Even with advanced technology, how much can a small island with only 400,000 people produce in a year?

Therefore, the move made by the Imperial Observatory was indeed very troublesome.

“Make a detailed report to increase the value from 17 trillion to 30 trillion.”

"After all, you still need to give them a bill for reimbursement."

With the matter of Lan Yu Xian Zhai settled, Haramura Makoto turned his attention to Lan Yu Asagi.

This little girl's mental state isn't very good right now.

The relentless work schedule has given her dark circles under her eyes at such a young age.

"Asagi, have the plans for the additional buildings been finalized?"

That's right, this girl was practically being used like a mule by Makoto Haramura.

The newly added area of ​​the "Ark of the Gods" has also been roughly estimated by Asagi Aiba.

The area is much larger, but the problem is that the "Ark of the Gods" is a war fortress built by Cain.

Moreover, these were war fortresses built many years ago. Leaving aside the extent of damage the buildings have suffered over time, the most important thing is that these buildings were wartime structures.

Most of them will definitely be preserved, but many more will be converted into civilian buildings.

This is where we need to use this guy, Moguwai.

"We've already compiled a rough estimate."

"However, more specific details will take some time to develop."

Clearly, Asagi Aiba is not able to provide an answer right now.

"So, are those weapons ready for use?"

"can."

"Although the building has suffered corrosion, the weapons are in very good condition."

"Moguwai has completed all the connections and is ready to start at any time."

"Alright, everything else can be put aside for now. Let's focus on connecting the main body of Itogami Island with the 'Ark of the Blasting God'."

"Ensure its mobility."

"Connect with your father regarding funding and prioritize meeting this requirement."

Lan Yuqiancong and Lan Yuxianzhai nodded at the same time.

The father and daughter have a very good relationship now, which allows them to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"That moon?"

The name was chosen to be Nangong Nayue.

Nangong Nayue also stood up.

"Confessions and evidence have been compiled, and the three people from the Imperial Observatory have been executed."

"Two people died in the struggle, and the other was successfully captured."

"A restriction has been placed on his body, so he can serve as a witness. He is currently being held in the prison's protective barrier."

How could Nanami Nagatsuki possibly let those three guys who destroyed Itogami Island get away with it?

Itogami Island is an isolated island in the ocean.

To leave this island, you either need to take a plane or a boat.

However, the airport grounds are cracked, making it absolutely impossible to leave by air.

Only submarines or ships are left.

This made it much easier to track them down. After dealing with Yase Kenjiro and the others, Nangong Nayue gave chase.

They finally captured them when they were still ten nautical miles from Japanese territorial waters.

To be honest, those guys from the Imperial Observatory are definitely not weak.

After all, how could someone who was assigned to carry out this mission be weak?

but!

That was at sea.

Apart from a boat that offered them shelter, they had nowhere else to stay.

So when Nangong Nayue arrived there, she didn't hold back at all, directly summoning the guardian and cleaving the ship in two with a single sword strike.

"can."

As Nangong Nayue sat down, Haramura Seiya shifted his gaze from her to the woman dressed in palace attire.

The woman, dressed in magnificent palace attire, immediately rose and bowed her proud head to Haramura Makoto.

"Your Majesty, the entire staff of the 'Library' has been purged, and all the books have been brought back."

That's right, this woman is none other than Xian Du Mu A Ye.

Seven days after leaving Itogami Island, they returned having completed their mission.

"How many people are left?"

"Seven hundred people, including one hundred high-level witches, two hundred mid-level witches, and four hundred low-level witches."

Xian Du Mu A Ye reported.

"Well done."

Makoto Haramura was lavish in his praise.

The Library is the world's largest gathering place for witches.

Even a single nation within a powerful magical country cannot compare to the 'Library'.

The reason is that the "Library" is home to more than a thousand witches.
