"This is..." Seeing this scene, Yoshino felt a little confused. Hadn't he just intended to forcibly take her away? Why was the current development completely different from what she had imagined?
"Alright! Don't be so surprised, good child. I didn't have much power left after I helped you heal the damage from the forbidden spell and improved your body. I was just testing you just now. Although it has nothing to do with me if you return to Heaven, I would be disappointed in you. I don't have any power left, so how could I forcibly take you back to Heaven?" First Generation Michael said with a wry smile. Her original intention was just to test Zadkiel, Astaroth, and Yoshino's reactions, but now she had dragged out two inhibitors. What kind of rhythm was this? She only wanted to do a simple test, why did the final result turn out like this?
"Is... is that so?" The phantom of the surrounding spirits returned to Yoshino's body. Yoshino asked with some doubt. Her current physical condition was indeed very good, with no lingering after-effects from using the forbidden spell. When she was sleeping just now, she vaguely felt a sacred power injected into her body, repairing the damage. It seemed like he was healing her body, which meant she had misunderstood him? "I'm so sorry! You helped me so much before, but I still misunderstood you!"
"Hahaha~ It's alright, it's alright. I've seen this kind of thing many times. If I hadn't successfully tricked you, I wouldn't have known your true thoughts. Your current performance lets me know your determination. I was right, you are a very strong child. To have two inhibitors protecting you, you shouldn't just be the human form of the fourth sephirah. It seems you have a more complex identity." At this point, First Generation Michael began to emit light, and even the surrounding space started to collapse.
"Oh? It seems the remaining magic power in me can't sustain me anymore? It looks like I'm going to disappear. But being able to witness such interesting things is the most interesting thing I've seen in countless years. No wonder you two have changed so much. It seems there's some magical power in this child that's changing you. Zadkiel, Astaroth. I really hope the relationship between Heaven and Hell can reconcile like yours. I'm tired of countless years of fighting." First Generation Michael sighed with a weary expression. How good would it be if both sides could live in peace? But their ideologies were different, so reconciliation was impossible.
"It's just a lack of communication, old man. If you could communicate directly with Xiao Ran like me, your relationship could be as close as ours. But you still need topics to communicate about. The bond that allows us to communicate is the Master we jointly protect. I think if Hell and Heaven can sit down and talk properly, without any ulterior motives, and without caring about each other's status, they can stop fighting." Astaroth looked at Zadkiel and said to him with a smile, making Zadkiel's face flush as he pressed her cheek, wanting her to move away from him. Seeing the two so intimately, First Generation Michael shook her head and finally disappeared.
"Then, before this space completely disappears, let me send you back to the world of negima! magister negi magi, Yoshino." Seeing the surrounding space gradually collapsing, alaya said to Yoshino, and at the same time turned to look at gaia. After receiving a positive reply from her, their hands pressed on Yoshino's body. A huge magic circle appeared on Yoshino's body, beginning the transfer magic.
"...Am I leaving? We just met with such difficulty, and there are so many things I want to ask you." Yoshino said with some regret, but the crumbling space around her told her that there was no more time left for them.
"Next time. My appearance here this time was only to bring you back to your original world. I'm sorry, Yoshino. I couldn't help you when you had problems, after all, your experiences and slumber were all within the world's consciousness's regulations. I couldn't do anything, I could only watch you get hurt." alaya said with some disappointment. She had wanted to rescue Yoshino every time she got hurt, but each time she was powerless due to her identity as an inhibitor.
"It's alright, I know your hardships. I know that as inhibitors, you have many difficult situations, so don't feel disappointed. These are all motivations for me to grow." Yoshino said with a smile, holding alaya and gaia's small hands. Although it felt very hard every time, she knew that doing so was meaningful.
"...You're really kind, Yoshino. You solved my worries so easily. I don't even know what to say about you." alaya's emotionless face revealed a charming smile as she looked at Yoshino, making Yoshino momentarily stunned. When she had seen alaya before, she was always expressionless. Now seeing alaya smiling in front of her was simply too impactful.
"Hey~ alaya, I know you really want to do that kind of thing with Yoshino. Before we leave this time, let's do it, the three of us. Otherwise, who knows when the next opportunity will be?" gaia suggested, holding alaya's hand. She had been savoring that feeling ever since she parted ways with Yoshino last time. Doing this with alaya now would surely be very exciting.
"...Mm." After thinking for a moment, and seeing that the surrounding space had almost collapsed, alaya nodded and agreed to gaia's suggestion. Then, the two of them approached the stunned Yoshino, looking at her with slightly flushed cheeks. The faint fragrance on their faces and bodies immediately drew Yoshino's attention back, and she looked at the two of them somewhat at a loss.
"This is a gift from two inhibitors, so just accept it, Yoshino." gaia said to Yoshino with a cheerful expression.
Then, under Yoshino's incredulous gaze, the two sealed Yoshino's lips, which were about to open. In this space on the verge of destruction, Yoshino received the gift given to her by the two inhibitors.
