The Royal Suite on the top floor of the Demon King Hotel.
　From the large all-glass window, I was looking down at the night view while twirling my wine glass.
　There was already no klezki and the peaceful night had returned.

''Huh ... oh dear.''

　Since then, I fought off the Sarifa with Ituna and imprisoned her in the sealing beads... or so it seems.

　What I mean by that is that I don't remember the details of how I defeated it.
　Perhaps I sealed my own memories.
　I must have chosen a very disgusting method.
　If I tried to remember, I'd probably be able to remember, so I'd eat fairchild and forget about it quickly.

Well. I've got to deal with this.

　I have four sealing beads in my possession.
　I think there were more sealing beads used in this world, but I can't remember them as they seem to be related to sealing memory.
　I should not think about it because I know that it's not a problem.

　I rolled one of them on the bed and reminded myself to release it.

''Hmm, hmm...''
Are you awake?

　A flinching Ko half-raised his body in a sleepy stupor.

''I'm hungry........''
Here, have some of this.
I'll take it.

　Moshishu.

Mmmm....

　Even after devouring it, I was still in a daze for a while... and then Ko's eyes widened at the deliciousness of the fair tiki.

'Oh, you guys!
You're safe. You're safe.
'Thank God...'

　I laughed at him, and he seemed truly relieved when I smiled at him... and Ko was relieved.

''And probably no more demons,''
Really?

　The fact that the invading force was the Megamikulan means that the witch alone was the one who was working.
　In other words, the one controlling the demonic nature - probably an ecological soldier monster that used local monsters - was that witch who was instantly killed by Ko on the roof.
　At that time it was a substitute alter ego, but from the magic wave motion, the main body was also clearly weaker than the helper Salifa.
　I don't know who it is, but as long as he's not a complete idiot, he'll withdraw from this world.

　Besides--

They were looking for something just like me.
'Yeah, right!

　It's a move the Mega-Mikrans often use.
　They place a clan witch who wants to meet me as an invader in the world, summon her with a 'summon and pledge', and then confront her with a request as a wish.
　Wishes then really vary, but even if it's my ex-wife, she rarely makes proxy pledges unless she fought with me and released me.
　Whether it's an inter-world invasion or late-night wrestling, I'm going to get my wish granted.

　What's more, only if the 'Summons and Pledge' requires reinstatement of the marriage, can the ex-wife who was released directly by Eva return to my harem.
　Of course, if she breaks the rules, she will be released again. There's no special treatment there.
　By the way, there's a woman in one of the thirteen gods of misfortune who repeatedly gets back together and releases her ex-wife, but that's already her goal....

　Be that as it may.
　Originally, that witch was supposed to be the one to become the pledge.
　But it was actually Ko who summoned me.
　That's why I couldn't figure out that Megamikran was involved until Salifa appeared.

　If I was going to do this, I should have at least used my connoisseur's eye on that witch.
　But she left in the blink of an eye.
　Who was she really...?

There's a chance the world will be targeted again if I'm here. I was going to hang around for a few more days, but it looks like I've got some free time on my hands.

　Well, as long as I don't reveal the sealing beads, they won't be able to track Sarifa's soul spirit spirit coordinates.
　I'm sorry to Salifa, but according to the pact, her custody will be used for future dealings with Megamikran.

''You're not busy.......Ryouji, are you going away?
To tell you the truth, I'm not...

　This was the first time I told Ko about the situation I was having.

''Oh no...I can't believe this earth wasn't Ryouji's home.

　Ko is shocked.
　For the most part, he thought he could meet up normally on Earth.

'That's why I--'
Take me with you!

　Oh I knew you'd say that.
　With this, Misaki Kou's wish was more clear.
　It was a clear form of following my journey.

　In other words, my choice was to take Ko as my wife or leave him behind.
　The answer is clear in my mind.
　But before that.....



'You did a great job, Misaki Honoka. You saved your world. And you sacrificed yourself for it.



　As expected, a collector in the form of a black cat arrived.
　An unscrupulous financier (egg-maker) who forces his contractors to give up everything but their souls.
　As before, he appeared on the couch provided in the hotel.

'Tama?　Eh, sacrifice... what do you mean by that?
It means exactly what it says. A magical witch grants wishes and protects the world in exchange for her life. And when it's all over, she'll disappear from existence. Of course, you don't have to worry about your family because they won't remember you.
I'm... all gone?
Don't worry. Your souls can be recovered by us even now that Gaff is gone, and your bodies can be 'transformed' and utilized as parts (parts) to repair Gaff's room. The memories will be 'planted as a previous life' by the otherworldly people around, so nothing will be wasted.

　I've heard it all over again, but it's still a horrible theory.
　A magical girl is an egg or material that can be transformed into anything.
　The flesh, bone, memory and life are just resources that can be used effectively.
　And apparently, now that Gaff is gone, even the soul.

　Ko, of course, has a growing desire to kill Eggmaker.

I have no idea what Tama is talking about, but in short........you're our enemy, right? To force me to do that........!
Coercion?　This is an obligation that every soul has from the time it is born. All life in the universe can only survive under our control and management.

　No questions asked.
　Ko's knife chops the black cat on the couch into pieces.
　However, the egg-maker makes a new black cat (tanto) appear right next to it.

'It's no use. We are one in all, one in all, the collective wisdom. Even if you destroy the device, you can't kill us. And then--
Ugh...!
There's no way the Magical Corpse Woman can resist us.

　When the black cat's eyes shone, Ko stopped moving.
　Their demonic eyes rendered the magical girls helpless.

'Don't tell me you don't think your life is more precious than the lives of many stars, either?　You guys are the cogs in the wheel that turns the universe around, and you should be able to use your lives to help.

　Misaki Kou bit his teeth in frustration at the one-sided argument.
　The eggmaker turned to me.

'That's surprising, Sakahagiri Ryoji. I thought you'd interfere more like before.'


　........Just now, I remembered.
　I've been 'retrieved' by an egg-maker in front of my eyes by a magical girl I had invited to be my wife.
　Although I was about to erupt in anger at the release of the sealed memories..................I suppressed it tightly.

　I've already reunited with the magical girl who was repurposed by Eggmaker.
　That guy didn't want payback.
　Now he's a loan shark with a desire to grant all sorts of children's wishes he's a real magical girl.
　I'm sure she's still scrambling around in space somewhere to save another loan shark.

　So, this is just my choice.

"Try it again, eggmaker. "Try it again, eggmaker, right in front of me. I shall consider that a declaration of war on me.
