Marisa's hunch is good.

There is no agreement between Yuyuko and her in the battle of the charm card of the Xixing Temple, but as the saying goes, there are no more than three things. Marisa has lost all three battles so far, so if she wants to continue to challenge Yuyuko in Saigyoji......

Princess Undead didn't mind letting her experience what true horror was.

Death is terrifying.

Warriors who see death as their home have always existed, and that's because death is only a fleeting thing in their senses.

But this thinking is wrong.

Death is not something to be feared ...... That's just because humans can only feel the moment of death. However, what about after death?

The loneliness and pain after death, as long as mortals understand it, will not be so contemptuous of death.

Yuyuko knows this very well. Once you become a necromancy...... Whether it is an evil spirit or a ghost, the memory of the past will become a cold touch. And emotions will gradually dry up over time.

――――― there are too few necromancers like Yuyuko who have existed for so long and are so emotional.

This is all thanks to her great power. But even so, her memories of the past took a heavy burden. Whether happy or miserable, the clips from the past made her deeply trapped and unable to extricate herself.

Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple doesn't remember anything before she died. But the occasional clip that flashed in her mind also made her very uneasy and deeply confused.

Because those memories didn't make her feel any familiarity. She is as trapped in the memory of others as a third person.

This situation is not to be surprising. All the undead will be haunted by the same haze, and once they become dead, too much memory, whether sweet or painful, will not be relevant to you.

The deceased has been completely cut off from everything that was before life. All that remains is emotion and endless confusion that gradually returns to nothingness.

This is the pain that belongs to the dead.

…… The necromancy that has not been able to defeat this anguish has become mad spirits, and in the end they are nothing more than souls tormented by the remnants of the past and the dregs of their own emotions.

Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple has been able to overcome this pain so far...... Simply because she has almost no memories of her life.

If Marisa Kiriyu continues to challenge her endlessly, Yuyuko doesn't mind letting her taste the horror as well.

Although nothing will change at first, the soul spark of the deceased will gradually return to purity and emptiness, even if it is a cheerful girl.

I heard that this girl has a good relationship with the martial god, but that won't change Yuyuko's decision. Since that man is so powerful, let him take the soul of the dead from the hands of death.

However, Marisa is not so ignorant.

The girl's brows were tightly knit and a hesitant color appeared on her cheerful face. But in the end, she blurted out the closing words.

「…… I lost."

Just by looking at her innocent look, you know that these three words are not so pleasant for Marisa.

But she still accepted her failure, and it seems that she knows the saying "nothing more than three".

Maybe it's always impulsive, maybe it's not thinking about what she does, but Marisa has an unusual sense of danger, which is the biggest reason why she's still alive in this world with all four limbs. Heaven foresaw Marisa's bohemian style, so it gave her a keen instinct to avoid danger.

For no apparent reason, she realized that she was about to touch the boundaries of the undead princess.

In the final analysis, the spell card duel is a gambling battle that can only be carried out based on the will of both parties, once one side refuses to agree. In the end, then, the solution was still a bloody and painful fight.

Obviously, there is a limit to Yuyuko's kindness at Seighiroji Temple.

Marisa has no interest in challenging the other party's authority. Because that outcome is likely to end in death.

She's not the kind of character in the comics who will persevere to the end for a victory - it is not a persistence in the eyes of a girl, but a meaningless death.

It's true that failure is not very pleasant, but in order to live in the world, you must get used to setbacks. At least in terms of attitude towards victory and defeat, Marisa has a maturity that is not inferior to that of adults.

"You've made a wise decision, human."

Yuyuko raised her eyebrows slightly, as if surprised that Marisa would throw in the towel with such amusement.

To be honest, Marisa didn't feel the slightest joy even when she was complimented.

"You can't be happy with this compliment...... I always thought something great would happen if I went on, so I threw in the towel...... I don't think I can win if I continue anyway."

「…… You don't have to worry about that."

"Huh?"

Marisa was stunned for no reason.

But Yuyuko didn't mean to explain, the calm expression she put on was the best mask, and Marisa couldn't see anything if she was silent.

…… While Yuyuko wouldn't mind letting Marisa experience the horrors of death if she continued to challenge, she couldn't really do it.

It would be easy for the undead lord, who wields the power of death, to bring Marisa, who is a human, to the other side, but the gaze from the void lets her know that she will not have a chance to really hurt the blonde girl.

---Hidden in the void of the courtyard, like a warrior watching the fire from the other side, he will not sit back and watch Sekyuko do something unacceptable to Marisa.

The undead princess was not interested in fighting that man, she was not a warrior, she was not a warrior, and she had no connection with fighting. If it is a fight, needless to say, it will only be you who loses.

Of course...... None of this is clear to Marisa. It's just that Yuyuko didn't have the obligation to tell her, at least it made the apprentice magician who felt fear and anxiety choose to give up, and it saved her a lot of effort.

「…… However, as a loser, I guess you wouldn't mind asking me a few questions, would you?"

Seeing that Yuyuko had no intention of speaking, Marisa didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he threw a question at her with a little curiosity.

Yuyuko looked at the blonde girl who stretched out her hand and remained silent.

Was her silent attitude noncommittal or a sign of rejection? Marisa really couldn't tell from the indifferent and calm beauty, maybe Fei Li could, but she couldn't do that kind of thing because of her lack of life experience.

But this didn't bother the girl much. Sometimes intuition is the best revelation - like now, she doesn't feel any danger.

"Why do you want to collect spring?"

Staring straight at each other.

The mutations are more or less motivated.

As a vampire, Remilia can't stand the sunlight and causes the red mist to obscure the sun's rays, so what is the intention of Yuyuko in Seighiroji Temple?

If it's for this garden full of cherry blossoms......

Marisa was amazed by the beauty of the vision. However, why has the flowers that bloomed in the season even if they were not specifically taken action, so why has it changed this year?

Or has there been some change in her state of mind?

This time Yuyuko didn't keep a puzzling silence.

"I want to break the seal of the Westward Demon."
