In this era, the only one who can bring such a terrifying sense of oppression is that overpowered guy, Yuzuru Hanyu.
Miss Witch originally thought she was a magical genius, but to her utter surprise, someone else was cheating on her.
Is there anyone whose magic power increases this fast?
She couldn't understand why the monster had come knocking on her door so soon after she finished making the True Love Potion. Had her plan been exposed? That shouldn't be the case; she had clearly set up so many shielding spells...
"My esteemed Lady Akako..."
The magic mirror, repaired once again, murmured softly. Despite the cracks from its previous attack still visible on its surface, it stubbornly fulfilled its duty as a magic mirror, "How about... we surrender? You'll succumb to Lord Hanyu Nan's charm sooner or later anyway..."
"Shut up!"
Koizumi Akako whirled around, her wand pointing directly at the magic mirror, its tip flashing a dangerous red light. "If you dare say anything like that again, boosting the morale of others while diminishing our own, I'll throw you into the furnace and recast you, so you'll never be able to utter another word!"
"But......"
The cracks in the magic mirror shimmered with a faint light, and a pitiful voice said, "Lord Hanyu Nan's magic has enveloped the entire Ekoda; you can't escape it at all..."
"nonsense!"
Koizumi Akako retorted through gritted teeth, but she knew in her heart that what the magic mirror said was true.
She looked down at the precious "Potion of True Love" in her hand; the pink liquid shimmered with a dreamlike light under the moonlight.
This potion is a masterpiece she finally created after consuming countless precious magical materials, going through hundreds of failures, and enduring countless days and nights of torment and hard work!
Just one drop was enough to make Yuzuru completely submit to her...
But the problem now is—
She might not even have a chance to get close to him!
"Miss Hongzi..."
The old butler appeared behind her at some point, his voice filled with worry, "Should we activate the castle's defensive magic array?"
Koizumi Akako bit her lip, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes.
She knew all too well what activating the defensive magic circle meant—it would consume the family's already limited magical gems, which were precious treasures passed down through generations and were an important support for the family's magical power.
Moreover, even if the defensive magic circle is activated, with Yuu Nan's terrifying strength, it can only hold him off for a few minutes at most...
What about a few minutes later?
The horrific scene of being chased and burned by a fire dragon after the last Osaka incident involuntarily flashed through her mind, and she shuddered.
"No......"
Finally, she took a deep breath and made a decision: "No need to activate the defense array."
"That......"
"I, Koizumi Akako, have never been inferior to anyone in my life!"
The witch suddenly straightened her back, her red and black witch clothes fluttering even without wind. "Since he's here, let's face him head-on! I will never back down!"
With that, she grabbed her wand and potion and strode toward the balcony.
The night breeze ruffled her long hair, and the moonlight bathed her in a silvery glow. At this moment, the witch truly resembled the legendary Scarlet Witch.
"Yusuke Kusunoki!"
She shouted loudly into the night sky, her voice echoing with a resolute determination, "If you have the guts, then..."
Before she could finish speaking, a dark shadow suddenly swept past her head.
"Gah—"
A crow landed on the balcony railing and tilted its head to look at her.
Koizumi Akako: “......”
"Miss Hongzi..."
The old butler timidly reminded him, "That seems... to be just an ordinary crow..."
The witch's face instantly turned bright red.
"I...of course I know!"
Enraged, she brandished her wand, turning the innocent raven into a pumpkin. "I was...testing the enemy's scouts!"
The old butler: "..."
Magic Mirror: "......"
The crow that turned into a pumpkin: "So?"
An awkward silence fell over the castle.
Koizumi Akako took a deep breath, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.
strangeness......
The terrifying magical energy fluctuations have clearly enveloped the entire Ekoda, so why hasn't Yuzuru Hanyu himself appeared yet?
Could it be...?
"Is he playing a trick on me?"
The witch suddenly realized this possibility, and in the middle of summer, she was so angry that she trembled all over.
Like a cat playing with a mouse, that wretched creature first lets its prey flee in terror, then, after playing with it to its heart's content, delivers the fatal blow, reveling in the prey's desperate struggle...
"Damn Yuzuru!"
She cursed through gritted teeth, "How dare they look down on me like that!"
In her rage, she even forgot how scared she had been just moments before, grabbed the potion, and was about to rush out to fight someone.
"Miss Hongzi! Think it over!"
The old housekeeper hurriedly stopped her, "It's too dangerous outside!"
"Let me go!"
Koizumi Akako struggled, "I'll show him what the Scarlet Witch is all about!"
"Owner......"
The magic mirror spoke in a low voice, "Are you sure you're not going to get yourself killed? In your current state, going there would just be a free kill..."
"you!"
Koizumi Akako was so angry she almost smashed the magic mirror again.
Can't you speak properly? If you can't speak properly, shut your mouth!
In this chaotic moment, the terrifying magic that had enveloped Ekoda like a dark cloud suddenly receded like a tide, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed, leaving only a silent night sky.
