"Is this guy the protagonist of this world? He's really... a detestable fellow."
"Although I can understand your disgust for this boy, he is the Child of Destiny of this world. Before the gears of fate began to turn, he was just an ordinary person. Yakumo Yukari."
Alaya appeared before this special space. Regarding this Child of Destiny, Alaya didn't know what to say.
One could only say that the Child of Destiny of each world was different. This guy's situation was somewhat acceptable; the Child of Destiny in some strange worlds truly deserved to die!
"Since even Her Highness Alaya said so, I won't comment much. However, is it really okay to do this? Even if he's annoying, he's still the protagonist of this world. Is it really fine for us to do this?"
"It's fine. I've already teamed up with others to talk to the world's will of this world. Although the other party's attitude was very firm at first, with our efforts, she finally agreed."
"...May I ask who you talked to the world's will of this world with, Her Highness Alaya?"
Despite having guessed Alaya's methods, Yakumo Yukari couldn't help but ask.
A method that even the world's will agreed to, if she wasn't mistaken, it must have been a forceful one.
"Hmm? Who? No one in particular. Kaname Madoka, Akemi Homura, Dragon God. Yoshino also sent a clone to help. Originally, I didn't plan to call them out, but to prevent future troubles, I simply called them all out. Of course, that idiot Gaia's whereabouts have been untraceable recently. Although she left a clone, her Original Body has run off to who knows where."
Alaya rubbed her temples, a little headache. Faced with Gaia's habitual truancy, she really didn't know what to do.
She had already disciplined her and scolded her. She couldn't humanely destroy this guy, so she was truly worried.
"Well~ maybe she ran off to play in other worlds with Yoshino. But, is it really okay to do this? Calling them every time we go to discuss matters with the will of other worlds. Aren't you worried something might happen?"
"What's there to worry about? Every the will of humanity won't easily trust others. Besides benefits or force, persuasion is simply too difficult. So... this is the fastest and most effective method."
Unless it was a newcomer who had just become the will of humanity, or the will of humanity who had been in a deep sleep for some reason, they might easily agree to their 'requests'.
"...Forget it, you're the boss, you make the decisions. I should hurry and finish this task; I want to go back and eat quickly."
Yakumo Yukari twirled the parasol in her hand, then pulled out a folding fan from a gap and waved it. The power of boundaries surged into the boy's body.
What was originally thought to be a sure thing, as Yakumo Yukari was about to separate a certain existence within him, that existence suddenly resisted violently, seemingly refusing to come out of this person's body.
"This is truly... I didn't expect it to be such a powerful existence. However... I am no longer the me of the past. If it were the old me, I might truly have had no way to deal with you."
A faint, ethereal demonic power emanated from her body, and the eyes in the gap suddenly became agitated.
All eyes turned blood red, and then crimson blood flowed from their eye sockets, as if weeping, gradually staining the ground red with blood.
The blood did not affect Yakumo Yukari and Alaya. When the blood touched their bodies, the power of boundaries contained within the blood entered their bodies, directly pulling the other party out of the body.
"That was quite rough, Yakumo Yukari."
Alaya looked at Yakumo Yukari with a hint of helplessness and placed the pre-prepared [Sacred Gear] into the boy's body.
Actually, it would have been enough to just sever the connection between him and this [Sacred Gear], but Alaya wouldn't force this person, and simply gave him another ordinary item.
However, when Yakumo Yukari severed the connection between the Sacred Gear and the boy, due to her excessive force, the boy's soul suffered some damage.
"Although I don't value you much, this time we snatched away a destiny that belonged to you. Consider this my compensation to you."
There wasn't much Alaya could do; at most, she could make his future life a bit smoother, such as finding the girl he truly loved.
Hmph! She knew very well that this fellow was the male protagonist of a harem manga, and she had heard about his fighting style later on.
Using his abilities to make girls' clothes explode reminded her of a magic called [Armed Release], though the person who possessed that magic was an Elementary School Student.
Once the connection was severed, the Sacred Gear had no relation to him, and then it became Alaya's business.
"You are the gauntlet of the red dragon emperor? The so-called Sacred Gear?"
Taking the light orb from Yakumo Yukari's hand, the orb transformed into a crimson gauntlet in Alaya's hand, covered by a white glow.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this? Are you one of that white guy's people?"
The gauntlet's knuckle part glowed green, and a deep voice resounded.
"White? Oh~ I remember. You mean the White Dragon Emperor? While he is indeed someone, I have no connection with him. I came here this time simply to prevent something from happening."
"Hmm? Although I don't know what you mean by'something,' you've made me sever ties with my partner. Are you trying to use my power?"
"Use... my power? Hmph! Red Dragon Emperor, Ddraig Goch, aren't you overestimating yourself a bit too much?"
Alaya, displeased, released her aura towards the gauntlet. The unhidden presence of the will of humanity even made Yakumo Yukari's Gap begin to wail.
Alaya's aura even caused space to show signs of collapse, but Yakumo Yukari didn't dare to speak, only hastily mobilized her Boundary Power to stabilize the Gap.
The aura quickly disappeared, and Ddraig finally believed that this fellow wasn't trying to use its power, because the strength of this seemingly petite loli was completely beyond its ability to match.
"Now... do you still want to say that I'm trying to use your power, Red Dragon Emperor?"
"No... I didn't say anything just now, nothing at all."
The Red Dragon Emperor, one of the two heavenly dragons who once fought on battlefields and devoured the leaders of the three factions, cowered at this moment.
Ddraig, currently in a soul state, was no match for Alaya; in fact, even if it returned to its full power, it wouldn't be Alaya's opponent.
Even dealing with Yakumo Yukari would be very difficult, as she could control Boundary Power, something Ddraig couldn't contend with.
"I don't want to comment on anything, because I have no interest in your affairs. However, next, I need you to help someone and ensure she grows well."
"If you do well, she might allow you to regain a physical body, and once again become the Red Dragon Emperor, one of the two heavenly dragons, instead of your current sealed form."
Ddraig's eyes lit up. Regain a physical body? Become the Red Dragon Emperor? Is such a thing possible?
Ddraig didn't know if Alaya's words were true, but it didn't think Alaya had any reason to lie to it. Alaya didn't need its power, so there was no so-called exploitable value.
"What do you want me to do? Anything I can do, I will do."
"Oh my~ Oh my~ I thought you'd be a bit tougher, but I didn't expect you to change your tune so easily. Is the former Red Dragon Emperor so easily subdued?"
Yakumo Yukari couldn't help but tease. The Red Dragon Emperor's change in attitude was too quick, so quick that it reminded her of those shameless fellows.
The Red Dragon Emperor indicated that it didn't want to speak. It wasn't that it had no dignity, but being arrogant in the face of someone stronger than itself was simply courting death; it could still clearly see the situation.
These two who suddenly appeared and dragged it out of its previous host were no simple characters; they felt even stronger than the BOSSes of the Demon Realm.
"Anyway, the previous host was just an ordinary human. Not only was he weak, but he was also an extremely lecherous brat."
While Ddraig was inside this fellow's body, Ddraig had observed him, but the more it observed, the more complicated its feelings became.
There was no help for it; this host was simply too terrible, arguably the worst and weakest host in history.
To some extent, being able to leave this fellow was a good thing. It could find a new host, then fight the White Dragon Emperor and defeat that guy's host!
"Yakumo Yukari, don't speak. This is my time to talk with it. You should send this person out first."
Alaya interrupted Yakumo Yukari, who was about to say something else, and looked at the gauntlet in her hand.
"In your current state, something is still missing if you want to go and help. At least... I can't let you go to that child in this form."
The gauntlet of the red dragon emperor, this was a Sacred Gear with immense power, so much so that even Alaya had to admit the weapon's strength.
However, Inaba Tsukiyo was not someone who used hand-to-hand combat, and to have Ddraig go to Inaba Tsukiyo, something more needed to be done.
"It seems... I need to make some modifications to you."
On the other side, Tachibana Koneko didn't expect Inaba Tsukiyo to still be awake, her entire being like a startled cat with wide eyes.
If she had cat ears or a tail, she would definitely be bristling, but that would also be very cute.
"Tsukuyo... Tsukuyo, why... why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Because I was waiting for you. I was waiting for you to come to me, and I also have some things I want to talk to you about."
Reaching out and pulling Tachibana Koneko into her arms, her left hand stroked her shoulder-length short hair, and her right hand stroked her back, allowing her stiff body to relax.
"Are you very worried, worried that I would distance myself from you because of what happened today?"
