Farah's POV

We both look at the screen and fall silent. I never thought the crisis would be handled that easy.

-Hah, I will deal with that village later. (Young Outer God)

The bat monster makes that screen disappear and shows us the other screen. On the screen, a gigantic eye keeps crying. But the things that come out of its eyes are not normal tears but many kinds of bat monsters.

-These monsters will kill all of your loved ones! (Young Outer God)

Before the bat monster can say another sentence, the gigantic eyes suddenly explode.

-Huh? (Young Outer God)

From the screen, I can hear a familiar voice.

-Mia! Hurry and make those teddies bears jump in that eye. (Amy)

-I'm doing it, sister. (Mia)

Mia commands three teddy bears of her to jump at the eye.

-I'm sorry, teddy! (Mia)

The explosion this time is bigger than the last time.

-Nooooo! (Young Outer God)

With that explosion, not a single piece of the eye can remain.

-... (Farah)

Hana looks at the bat monster and smiles.

-Is that all you have? (Hana)

-... (Young Outer God)

The bat monster creates a dark gate and tries to get away with it.

-Not so fast. (21)

I don't know from when, but 21 has already stood behind the bat monster.

-You can't leave here in one piece, monster. (21)

21 stabs her knife at the back of the bat monster.

-Arghhh! No! (Young Outer God)

The bat monster falls to the ground because of 21's surprise attack.

-Let me finish you off! (21)

Before 21 has the chance to finish the bat monster off, a hand appears in the middle of the air and grabs her head.

-21! (Farah)

The hand throws 21 likes a toy and makes her fly backward. I can't help but jump off Hana's arm and fly toward 21.

-Ahh! (Farah)

I manage to reach her side and catch 21.

-I'm sorry, master. I'm still a little inexperienced. 921)

-It's not your fault, 21. (Farah)

I turn back and look in the bat monster's direction.

-Can you show yourself instead of stalking us all the time? (Hana)

A gate is opened from the place where the hand comes out. A girl with Athena's face slowly walks out of the gate.

-Huh? (Farah)

-You had stalked us from before we started the fight, right? (Hana)

The girl ignores Hana and goes to the bat monster's place. She uses her hand and pierces through its body, and takes out something from it.

-It really wastes on you. You can't even utilize this thing efficiently. (Nyarlathotep)

-Throw at her! (Hana)

The maids listen to Hana's command and throw the knife at the girl. However, a black wall appears and stops those knives in the middle of the air.

-I can deal with these things by mixing my divine power with mana. (Nyarlathotep)

The girl looks at Hana and says.

-You need to improve a lot to hurt me with these toys. (Nyarlathotep)

After that, she turns to me and shows a disappointed face.

-It's a brilliant fight, and you have a high chance of winning it. But to fall for such a cheap trick. I'm really disappointed in you. (Nyarlathotep)

Dark divine power starts leaking out of the girl's body.

-I really want to test your more to see if you are fit to be my future rival. (Nyarlathotep)

-21! Take the master and run away! (Hana)

-Yes! (21)

When 21 tries to bring me along with her, I resist because I want to stay back and fight with Hana.

-I don't want to go,21. (Farah)

-Master. (Hana)

The girl laughs and retracts her divine power.

-But let save the fun for next time. You should consider yourself lucky since "father" suddenly called me. (Nyarlathotep)

The girl turns back and walks through the gate.

-Hah... (Farah)

-That girl is gone now, master. (21)

The moment I confirm no more danger is around, I relax my body and let 21 hold me. 21 reaches out and pats my head.

-Master's head is really...warm. (21)

-Umu~ (Farah)

Hana walks toward my side.

-Give her to me,21. (Hana)

-No. (21)

-Huh? Don't let me repeat. Give her to me! (Hana)

I can feel the embrace of 21 become tighter.

-Let me have our master for a while. You can get her back later. (21)

-I said give her to me now! (Hana)

-No. (21)

-... (Hana)

21 and Hana stare at each other intensely.

-Farah. (Death)

-Death? (Farah)

-I know this is not the right time to call out for you. But I need your help, Farah. (Death)

-Please tell me, Death! (Farah)

-Can you harvest the polluted soul from that bat monster? (Death)

-Polluted soul? (Farah)

-Yes, I will explain it later. But that soul could heal "Conquest." (Death)

-But I don't know how to do it, Death. (Farah)

-Don't worry, Farah. I will help you do that. We also seize this chance to reawaken your new power. (Death)

-21, can you release me? (Farah)

-Yes, master. (21)

-What are you trying to do, master? (Hana)

I tell 21 and Hana.

-Please wait! I will explain to you later. (Farah)

I walk toward the bat monster's place and stand in front of it.

-What should I do now, Death? (Farah)

-Please imagine you want to separate the bad and the good thing inside that monster. (Death)

-Uhm. (Farah)

I close my eyes and follow Death's instruction.

-Master? (Hana)

>??? is reawakened.

My mouth moves on its own.

-What comes after the end is a new start. (Farah)

I place the hand on my chest.

-The line between light and dark will now be separated. (Farah)

From the chest, I pull out a rainbow scythe.

-Reap your guilt and let you become my servant. (Farah)

I slash down the scythe at the bat monster.

-Rebirth! (Farah)
