final.

This impromptu, manual experiment has finally yielded a conclusion.

Shiho Miyano glared angrily at Kusunoki Hanyu, who was grinning like a fox who had just stolen a big meal.

"Yu! Sheng! Nan!"

She gritted her teeth, her icy blue eyes blazing with murderous intent.

If looks could kill, Yuzuru Hanyu would already be the next specimen in the laboratory.

Besides aliens, her lab is missing a specimen of a deity.

“I’m here, dear principal investigator.”

Yuzuru smiled and responded, pulling out a few disinfectant wipes and considerately taking her hand, "Thank you for your hard work. The data is perfect, and the conclusion is encouraging."

Shiho blushed and let him serve her, snorting irritably, "...The conclusion is that you're an incurable pervert! A lecher! A waste of experimental materials!"

"Yes, yes, you're right. I'm a pervert, I'm a sex maniac."

Yuzuru nodded readily in agreement.

They completely ignored the girl's accusations.

"So, as a reward... my chief scientist, would you like to change your research topic next? For example... a study on the relationship between bacterial exchange and emotional transmission in interspecies interactions? Or something even deeper..."

"Go do your bacterial culture!"

Shiho finally lost her temper and kicked him in the shin, pointing at the lab door, "Get out now! Immediately! I need to disinfect! The entire lab needs to be thoroughly disinfected!"

If we let him stay any longer, this place will become unusable!

Seeing her flustered state, Yu Shengnan laughed with satisfaction and finally stopped teasing her.

He carefully put away the unique chocolate sculpture, then leaned over and quickly kissed her puffed-up cheek.

"Goodnight, my great scientist, today... was really fun."

After saying that, he laughed and slipped out of the laboratory before the second test tube rack flew over.

The door closed behind him.

This blocked out Shiho Miyano's angry and embarrassed curses.

Yuzuru leaned against the cold metal door, listening to the faint sounds coming from inside, a smile lingering on his lips.

Valentine's Day is indeed a wonderful day to receive surprises.

He weighed the light yet heavy chocolate box in his hand, humming a tuneless little tune, and walked happily toward the flower staircase.

Tomorrow, he has a "seminar" with the witch waiting for him.

...

The next morning.

Sunlight filtered through the thin mist, bathing Beika Town in a warm golden hue.

After having breakfast, Yuzuru set off from home. Since this time he was going to attend the witch's magic seminar, he didn't make a big fuss or send a large army like last time.

Occasionally, you can play the role of an ordinary person, take the tram, mingle in the bustling crowd, and observe the people coming and going outside the window, busy with their lives. It's a unique experience.

This "human touch" is a rare respite for him, this increasingly inhuman "deity."

The tram swayed and rattled as it crossed the boundary between the city and the suburbs, finally stopping at Ekoda Station.

From this point on, there will be no more convenient public transportation.

Following the direction he remembered, Yuzuru strolled leisurely into the vast, sparsely populated forest behind the station.

The deeper you go, the more tranquil the surroundings become. The traces of modernization are almost completely erased, leaving only towering ancient trees, winding streams, and the clear chirping of birds.

The air became fresher, and even carried a faint, active spiritual energy that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

"As expected of the witch clan that has been passed down for thousands of years."

Yuzuru took a deep breath.

In an era when spiritual energy is nearly exhausted, the fact that they were still able to preserve such a small piece of 'spiritual land' for future generations demonstrates their profound heritage.

Although this environment is far inferior to the villa transformed from its own purification spring, it is already a paradise compared to the "magical deserts" outside.

It's no wonder that Koizumi Akako, with her high-mindedness and arrogance, who viewed all living beings as ants, was so "obsessed" with him, even going so far as to try to "conquer" him with potions or magic time and time again.

Aside from his own damnable, irresistible charm, perhaps the more important reason is that the witch absolutely does not want to be the one to cause the family's thousand-year legacy to end in her hands.

This "freak" who suddenly appeared, with a completely different yet incredibly powerful system, and completely unaffected by her magic, was the perfect candidate to meet her needs, the best candidate to "improve the witch's bloodline" and "continue the glory of red magic," without exception.

Thinking about it this way, behind the witch's seemingly arrogant provocation, desire to conquer, and constant "heh heh heh" seems to lie a sense of tragic heroism and mission, as if she had to sacrifice herself for the great legacy of her family.

Yuzuru stroked his chin, feeling that he was truly good at understanding other people's clothes.

...

Lost in thought, the ancient Gothic-style castle came into view.

The dark stone walls were covered with vines, and the pointed roofs pointed straight to the sky.

The overall atmosphere is... very dark.

Witches, whether from the East or the West, seem to share a similar aesthetic.

I love this mysterious, retro style that looks like a villain's lair.

While mentally complaining, Yuzuru straightened his non-existent collar and stepped forward to knock on the heavy, bronze-colored door that looked like it could withstand artillery fire.

"Thump...thump...thump..."

The sound was exceptionally clear in front of the silent castle.

Unlike the last time when they came to "storm in with a large army" to challenge and demand answers, this time they came to conduct "academic exchanges." The motive has changed, so the attitude must also change accordingly.

He prefers a strategy of diplomacy before resorting to force.
