Luce who disappeared from the city where the Six Kings Festival was held.......no, Akari had moved far away from the city in an instant.
　However, it wasn't through her own power. Yes, just as Alice and Iris had predicted, there was a being who had transferred her from the city.

''........Is it enough?　We've still had time to talk at least a little bit, though?
'Yes, I'm sure I'd be a fool to tell you more than that... Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk to that girl... "Lady Shalovanal".
'No need to thank me. I'm using you for my own reasons.

　A voice without intonation echoes, and the surrounding landscape switches to a hanging garden.......the divine realm. Naturally, the being in that place is none other than the pinnacle of the divine world, the creator god Sharovanal.
　That's right, the mastermind who brought the existence named Akari into contact with Kaito was Sharovannal.

　She replied to Crom Eina's question by saying She didn't bring Kaijin's mother back to life, she didn't create the same existence as Kaijin's mother....
　There is no falsehood in those words. Because 'Akari Miyama did not come back to life'........she here was only a soul, a ghost who was able to touch things through the power of Shalovanal, so to speak.

　The "transfer of Miyama Akari's soul" is what Shalovanal had been negotiating with Eden for some time.
　Shalovanal needed Akari's soul for "some purpose". For that reason, he had been negotiating with Eden from a very early stage.
　Eden didn't readily agree to it, and the negotiations had been difficult. However, Eden's visit to our world and his strong interest in the pleasant man gave Eden the advantage of lending a hand to Shalovanal's purposes.

　Hence, the negotiations were concluded, and the soul of Meiri had thus come to this world.
　Shalovanal got Akari's soul for his purpose, but since the content was the content, he gave her the freedom to choose. He allowed her to have contact with Kaito on the condition that she did not reveal her identity in order to allow her to choose whether or not to cooperate with his purpose.

'So what do we do now?　Have you had enough time to think yet?
...no, that's enough. I'll drink on your terms as you see fit.
You don't mind, do you?　In the worst case scenario, it could result in you 'killing Kaito-san's heart', right?
....

　The content that Sharovanal demanded of Akari.....................no, the casting that he assigned was an obstacle to Kaito.
　It was, to put it bluntly, content to antagonize his own son, and it was surprising to Sharovanal that he would agree to it so readily, even though he gave him the opportunity.

　That's why Sharovanal asks. Is it really okay to do that........
　In response to that question, Akari returns the words while staring straight at Shalovanal.

''........I can't do it. I can't stop trembling just by being in front of You-sama like this. I'm convinced that it's impossible for me to beat you, to resist you.
So you follow me through fear?
...No, no.
The ordeal I've described to you is rather severe, isn't it?
'Yes, really I don't think anyone can even get over it.
You seem to be contradicting your statement?

　While looking at Sharovanar, who tilts his head after hearing the statement, Mingli turns his eyes with a strong light, scolding his trembling body.

''I am a diminutive person. I'm afraid of you, I can't even imagine a future where someone can beat you. But I believe that Kaijin will surely create a future I can't even imagine, a future I can't even imagine. I am a tiny being but I don't intend to be so weak that I can't believe in my own son with all my might!
....
'Even though I can't imagine how, I believe that the pleasant man will win against Lord Shalovanal. Therefore, I will 'place this soul on the betting table.'

　A future she couldn't even imagine, the perception that no one could defeat Shalovanal..........................Akari believed that even this was something that Kaito would overturn.
　Believing in Kaito and betting her own soul, that was her fight.

　Looking at Akari like that, Shalovanal raises the corners of her mouth to the point where she has to pay attention to it, just slightly.

''.........I see, it seems that you are indeed Kaito-san's mother. That was quite an interesting word.''
....
''Your statement is right on target.
Can we take that as a very high rating?
'Yes, I have a very high opinion of Mr. Kaito. That's why I want to know.

　At the same time as he announced that, Sharovanal lightly waved his finger. Then, Meiri's body was surrounded by light and turned into a small sphere.......a soul.
　And while holding that soul in her hand, she looked at the view from the divine realm and muttered.

''........The stage is being set. However, I thought of a terrible ordeal, even though I was a terrible ordeal.......Black will be seriously pissed off. Shall I make some preparations so that the divine world doesn't get destroyed........

　The content of his speech was disturbing.
