Chapter 976 [Observation] Before that, I need to deal with you first.
...
Although Morataya and Asa got along very well, Morataya was always a little wary of him because of his red hair, so she asked Kawasei Maru to investigate him.
Given Kawasaki Maru's abilities, he shouldn't be unable to find out Asa's identity. Moreover, he has never had a good impression of Death, so entrusting the investigation to him is the safest option.
Finally, after receiving the message from Kawasaki Maru, Morataya dispelled her lingering doubts about Asa.
The main reason was that she didn't sense that uniquely Death-like aura about him that was indescribable and irresistible to witches.
Besides, there are ordinary people with naturally red hair in other countries as well.
...
This was what Morataya thought before Kita Ayane's incident.
She realized that the most ridiculous thing she had ever done in her life was to believe Asa.
After putting Kita Aya Otogo in the car at the Kita Aya family's private hospital, Morataya returned to the hospital to begin dealing with Kawasato Machi's body.
However, just as she was about to change Kawasaki Maru's clothes, she suddenly received news that Kita Ayane's car had been in an accident on the road.
Morataya's hand trembled.
The next second, however, he calmly continued to help Kawasaki Machi change his clothes.
After changing her clothes, Morataya stood to the side, looking down at Kawasaki Machi's face quietly. After a while, she reached out and gently stroked his eyebrows and eyes.
"Why is that..." she murmured softly, her originally bright tea-green pupils seemingly stained with an indelible black.
After quickly smoothing the hair on Kawasaki Machi's forehead, Morataya had him taken back to the church, and then turned and left.
...
Morataya came to the hospital and happened to meet Ran Mouri and the others downstairs. After learning that they had all come to visit Aya Kita, they went to his ward together.
The blonde girl smiled serenely, showing no trace of sadness on her face, as if the person who had been in trouble was a complete stranger.
After leaving the ward, Morataya's expression instantly turned cold. She went alone to the dark castle located in the forest.
But before she could even go inside, Hoshino Tsukasa's familiar face appeared before her eyes.
Hoshino Tsukasa, with an impeccable smile on his face, gestured for her to proceed.
Morataya pursed her lips and followed him into the castle.
The moment she stepped into the castle, she felt an aura that made her tremble with fear.
Morataya followed Hoshino Tsukasa deeper into the living room, but as soon as she crossed the threshold, she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes. After a moment, her vision cleared, but then her head suddenly started to ache.
She dug her fingers into the wall, one hand supporting her throbbing head, cold sweat beading on her forehead, her body trembling slightly as she tried to suppress the pain.
She lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. She tried to hold onto the wall, but it was no use as she slid down. Before she fainted, she saw a pair of long legs walking towards her and seemed to hear a vague but familiar voice.
"Welcome back, little witch."
Morataya opened her eyes slightly, but before she could see the other person clearly, she lost consciousness.
Looking at the "END" on the big screen, everyone was a little confused.
"..." Gone just like that?
but……
Although the content was short, a very important message entered their minds.
Asa... is ultimately a member of Death's faction.
Upon hearing this idea, many people broke out in a cold sweat.
Morataya gritted her teeth slightly and glared fiercely at Asa.
Those who noticed some small details: ...No wonder Asa, like the Black Organization Boss, sat alone at the back of the group.
So, Asa is the boss of Death?

"..." Kawasaki Maru paused in silence, her neck stiffening slightly as she turned her head to look at Asa with a blank expression, her icy blue pupils filled with coldness.
Asa looked back at him, her eyes seemingly innocent, but a smile curved her lips, and she smiled at him silently.
Kawasaki Maru clenched her fist and coldly withdrew her gaze.
Kawasaki Machi patted his hand, signaling him to calm down.
When this earth-shattering news broke, many people clutched their foreheads in anguish, but they all avoided looking at Asa as if trying to escape.
Unnoticed by everyone, Qianzhu's lips twitched slightly.
It's time for another gacha pull!
The mechanical voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.
[Please draw.]
Looking at the gacha interface in front of him, Reiichi Furuya pondered for a moment and then clicked on the card in the bottom left corner.
When the card is rotated, it reveals a pattern of wings that are half angel and half demon, representing Kawamoto Masuru.
But then the card flipped over again, revealing a pattern of three pairs of angel wings representing Machigawa.
Upon seeing this, Chuan Shengzhenzhi's expression became complicated, and he hesitated to speak.
"So why are ours almost always placed together?"
Liu Qingyao opened her mouth, then suddenly realized she could speak, and immediately blurted out, "Because you two are inseparable, right?"
Kawakita Machi: "?"
They're not inseparable anymore!
Liu Qingyao clicked her tongue a few times and gave the two of them a meaningful look.
Kawasaki Machi: "..." Don't look at us like that, it scares me.
The movie content continued from the previous scene featuring the two of them.
...
A ball of light, resembling a meteor, crashed into the plain when no one was watching, sending up a cloud of rubble and dust.
After a short while, the ball of light disappeared, revealing the person inside.
Ellex embraced Nathaniel, shielding him from the damage caused by the impact with his own body.
His lips twitched slightly, and a trickle of blood oozed out. He closed his eyes and remained motionless for a moment.
Nathaniel suddenly opened his eyes, glanced instinctively at the unfamiliar surroundings, and then looked back at Ellex, who was already very weak but still protecting him. His pupils contracted slightly, and his short, round pupils seemed to turn into sharp, vertical ones.
He exhaled slightly, carefully sat up, and then helped Ellex into his arms. Looking at the two and a half pairs of wings that Ellex had lost, Nathaniel's icy blue eyes showed a tendency to be stained with scarlet.
He tried to channel energy to heal his wounds, but it didn't work.
He tried using the holy water of life, but it still didn't work.
Nathaniel suddenly felt a little lost.
These were the only two methods he could use, but they were useless against Alex's injuries.
That means those damned guys used some unspeakable taboo when they attacked him...
Nathaniel gritted his teeth, a fierce hatred flashing in the cold boy's eyes.
And hatred nourished the suppressed demonic bloodline within him.
Nathaniel's eyes turned a deep crimson, and an evil aura emanated from him, almost completely devouring his holy aura.
Until Elex suddenly frowned, Nathaniel blinked, and the evil aura of a demon vanished instantly. He returned to his indifferent state, but his reddened blue pupils did not revert to their original state.
Therefore, even though he did not completely transform into a demon, he looked no different from a demon.
Nathaniel sat there, his eyes downcast, pondering how he would survive in this unfamiliar world.
He knew that this was the human world, and that "bird people" like them with wings could not appear in front of those humans.
Humans are creatures that appear delicate and weak, but whose ambitions and desires are greater than those of any other race.
Before Nathaniel could even recover from his injuries, he picked up Alex, who had fallen into "hibernation," and headed towards the nearby mountains.
The forest is a good place to hide.
Nathaniel and the unconscious Ellex stayed in the forest for several days.
Although the latter's injury was brought under control, his wings showed no signs of growing back.
Nathaniel flapped his wings and traversed the forest, quickly familiarizing himself with the surrounding terrain.
He landed on a tall tree to rest, and noticed a gaze. He looked down and saw a hunter who had completely blended into his surroundings, looking up at him with his mouth wide open, as if he could swallow a baby whole.
Nathaniel remained expressionless, leaped down from the tree, tapped him on the forehead, and then vanished again in an instant.
Only the hunter remained, momentarily dazed, then, as if he had forgotten something, continued to wait in the same spot for his prey to take the bait.
Night falls.
The moon, hanging high in the sky, was very round, just like the one they had seen in the skies above the angelic realm.
Nathaniel glanced up at the moon, which was as pale as a corpse, then lowered his head expressionlessly and continued to nourish Ellex's injuries with his own energy.
His injuries had almost completely healed, but he remained unconscious.
Nathaniel pursed his lips slightly, and the veins on his hands, which were resting on his knees, bulged slightly.
The forest wasn't exactly quiet; the howls of wild beasts could be heard from time to time, but Nathaniel paid no heed.
He was still thinking about how to go back to the Angel Clan and then quietly wipe them all out when they weren't paying attention!
As Nathaniel was pondering, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from not far away, heading in their direction.
His eyes sharpened, and he stared in that direction with a cold and wary gaze.
Soon, a white figure appeared before him, followed by a slightly surprised voice.
"Hmm? So the problem originated from here."
As the blond youth drew a few steps closer, Nathaniel became as wary as a ferocious wild beast.
However, the young man smiled lightly, showing no surprise at the powerful figures behind them. "Do you want to come with me? If you don't, his life force might be completely lost."
As he finished speaking, he pointed to the unconscious Alex.
Nathaniel paused for two seconds, then finally spoke in a slightly hoarse voice: "Who are you?"
“You can call me R.” The young man opposite him replied gently and elegantly. After a pause, he smiled and said, “You can see that his life force is almost depleted. Since you can’t do anything about it anyway, why not trust me?”
He had no leverage to convince Nathaniel, but after a moment of silence, he nodded. "...Okay."
The fact that he appeared here so quietly shows that he is not a simple person.
R smiled, his deep and elegant face making it impossible to tell that he was actually "abducting a child".
As Nathaniel picked up Ellex, R reached out and touched his shoulder, reassuring him, "Don't be nervous, we'll be there soon."
Nathaniel had no doubts, because the next second they really did appear in another place.
The speed was so fast that he didn't have time to doubt it.
As soon as they landed, Nathaniel saw a blonde girl in front of him. She was speechless for a moment when she saw them, then puzzled, and then her eyes lit up as if she had found a new toy.
Immediately afterward, Nathaniel heard the girl who had stepped forward say, "Another very special guy has been brought back?"
"..."
Nathaniel glanced at R.
It seems he's "picked up" a lot of special guys like them, no wonder he's so familiar with the place.
R smiled without saying a word.
Following the girl's steps into a room, Nathaniel, at R's instruction, placed Elex on the bed.
R stepped forward and placed his hand on Alex's shoulder.
Nathaniel watched his movements closely from the side.
R withdrew his hand, glanced at him sideways, smiled, and pointed at Alex, "Help him up, I want to see his back."
Without saying a word, Nathaniel stepped forward and helped the man up.
R frowned slightly as he glanced at the marks left on his back where his wings had been cut off. "This is... a taboo within the Angel race to strip away one's life essence."
Nathaniel's eyes flickered slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.
Just as I expected.
"Is it so taboo that even the Godfather can't do anything about it?" Morataya, who was watching quietly from the side, asked in confusion.
R's lips curled slightly. "I'm a magician, not an angel."
Morataya paused for a moment, then muttered in a voice loud enough for everyone present to hear, "A mage who knows witchcraft spells and other miscellaneous skills?"
“There’s a saying that it’s always good to have more skills,” R said with a smile to Morataya, then turned to Nathanael. “While I can’t remove the taboo on him, I can slow down the rapid loss of his life force.”
Nathaniel nodded silently, lowered his eyelashes slightly, and said softly, "Thank you."
R smiled and raised his hand, revealing a bottle of semi-transparent light blue potion. He poured the potion down Ellex's throat and explained, "The effects of this potion are only temporary, so you'll need to find a way to break the taboo. The island's library has various books about the Angel race; you can have Xiao Mo take you there."
“Okay.” Seeing that Ellex’s complexion had indeed improved, Nathaniel responded hesitantly.
"But before that, I need to deal with you first."
R put away the empty medicine bottle, then changed the subject with a smile.
Nathaniel looked up at him, her expression unchanging, but she showed no resistance.
"Do you want to keep only your angelic bloodline, or only your demonic bloodline? Or both?" R looked at him leisurely.
Nathaniel was slightly taken aback, completely unexpected by his question.

That's right, the witch's role is over.
[I'll mention the remaining issues here, in more detail, as I've forgotten some of them myself, and will add them later.]
[I won't write the original movie review, because it's not appropriate.]
