Mellon remained unmoved.

This made Eno very disappointed, and she walked back to April and sat down in her chair with her head bowed as if she had lost her purpose in life.

April's stomach became hungrier and she lay down weakly: upset was also a major cause.

The Transfiguration Orb has been slow to make a decision. You can see that it is extremely distressed.

Mellon's and April's eyes were focused on the red magic ball Obel.

It was still shaking restlessly, unsure of what to do.

At this time, April, who had realized that there must be an end to all this, proposed with a heavy heart: "Obel, you will change color, right...... In order not to get me wrong, don't go around in circles - turn blue if you want Inotilina to be free. I don't want that to turn green, okay?"

Once again, Aubel fell into great hesitation. Obviously, I don't know what to do at all.

As a result, it began to flash constantly between blue and green.

Explicitly expressed his tangled feelings.

Everyone watched its movements, hoping to bring the untense but unsettling atmosphere of Ino and Tina to an end as soon as possible.

The restlessness of the magic ball finally began to slow down. The color changes more and more rapidly, but it suddenly slows down in the midst of extremely difficult considerations, and finally fixes on blue under a slow change of color.

“...... Have you decided?" asked April, feeling very uncomfortable.

Obel seemed to be trembling, but apparently he had really decided.

Innoace watched all this quietly, picked up the coffee cup instead, seemed to look at the liquid inside with some silence, and raised it slightly to take a sip.

The cold light of the silver knife flickered in the moonlight of the cell.

The moment it appeared, it turned around and aimed the tip of its knife at Lena's unclothed and exposed chest.

Lina, who was dying, was hoisted up and collapsed to the ground, and she looked at the cold light of the flying knife as she regained consciousness slightly. Knowing what was going to happen, she smiled tiredly with relief.

The moment the smile was fixed on his cheek, the throwing knife fell with a silver light, stabbed into the chest, and was immediately pulled out. The sharp pain suddenly gushed out with the puncture of the major artery, but she immediately shook her body with the smile that did not have time to fade, lowered her head and swallowed her last breath.

She went quickly, almost instantly.

Under the moonlight, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl had a silver flying knife in her chest, soaked in her own blood, and had completely lost her life.

Inside the cell, new blood was sprayed everywhere. I wonder how many more girls will be tortured or lost their lives here.

Some are witches, some are unjust. But perhaps in a sense, they are all innocent.

They didn't become witches of their own volition. It's just bad luck, so to speak.

But you can't do it all over again in a lifetime, so it's destined that some people will live up to sixteen years old from the time they are dyed with the blood of witches.

That's why there is a special kind of witch executioner in the Celestial Wing Sect, who will accompany them for a period of time as their sixteenth birthday approaches, and kill her with their own hands. They can at least leave fewer regrets before the witches die, at least let them die happier.

The capital of the Aloya Federation, Eloa City, with Ayaya as the main population, is officially believed in the Celestial Wing Cult - the origin and core doctrine of this religion is closely related to the angelic descendants of the Aya.

It was in this city that Aprili knew a friend who was a witch executioner of the Celestial Wing Cult.

Eno gently lowered the coffee cup, causing a slight collision with the tabletop.

And the silver knife was summoned to her hand. Ino looked at the bloody throwing knife quietly, wiped it clean with his hand, and inserted it back into the leg loop.

Seeing the blood on the throwing knife, everyone understood what was happening.

The tense atmosphere finally became relaxed at this time. Although Aprile inevitably felt a sense of loss when she realized that Lena was indeed dead, the things that had been tangled up finally began to dissipate - and at least let the matter come to an end, which was a relief.

A heartache spread in the bottom of her heart, but after Aya repeatedly emphasized to herself the fact that Lena had been freed, the feeling of pain was still there, but it was already acceptable.

At the end of the day, I didn't figure it out. This unwilling emotion can't be let go, but she also knows that it will fade into oblivion sooner or later. After all, she has nothing to do with Lena, and her emotions are only sympathy and self-blame for her powerlessness.

Am I considered to have succeeded in this commission......?

In the end, all that is known is that Lena wants to protect Obel.

Not everyone can be the master of the Transfiguration Orb. Those who can make a contract with it are gifted.

With this mixed feeling in mind, April fell asleep hungry, and the next day, she called Lucina to help her send her to Aloa and let her live there. After all, it's dangerous that someone here wants to catch it.

"It's not too easy!" Lucina said cheerfully, "Leave it to me!"

Since Lucina said it was okay, April was relieved. Although this guy is always reckless, he is basically quite reliable.

Although the magic ball was still listless, it didn't seem to be dissatisfied with this arrangement. It had also heard of the place of Eloa, and it was a good idea to live there.

And just as Aprily was handing over Lucina, the coffee shop with a closed sign, a letter arrived.

It was April's reply to Dean Geralton, who asked him to come here and hear what the Magic Ball said (though he basically didn't understand).

It reads: Don't help, get out.

Exactly what Aprili thought. At first, she didn't have much hope that she would get much help.

However, the letter does not end there.

It also reads: When you get to eat, come back and drink it.

Simple and brutal, but with a Geralton-esque concern.

However, the old man was too bastard, so April was not impressed when she saw it.

Ino was about to leave for her master, but her mission wasn't over yet. It is unclear what commission Agrath received regarding the necromancy transactions involved in the trial. But the specific content must be kept secret from April.

What the master asked her to keep secret, Ino wouldn't say a word. April didn't want to embarrass her, so the two separated for a while, and April went back to the academy hungry.

Sure enough, there was food that had been delayed for a long time, and a few extra bottles of juice to apologize.

Finally drinking the drink that she had been longing for for a long time, Aprily clutched her finally satisfied stomach and gasped heartily.

Looking out of the window, Canette could be seen practicing his sword with Geralton, and was slashed to the ground by the old man.

Nothing has changed.

However, she always had some uneasiness in her heart. In the evening, Canette came to ask April, as usual, with curiosity where she had gone, and after a little hesitation, she told the young witcher apprentice what had happened, apparently with some difficulty in accepting what had happened.

"Why don't you save her in reality?" Carnett asked, frustrated.

"We don't have any evidence that she's a witch, and how can breaking through a prison be as easy as when you can sneak into the heart of the warp and hide in the center of the warp? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if I can go in and let her out, according to Lena's physical condition, I won't be able to escape. Can you get out of prison, can you get out of that city?" said April, a little silent, her expression slightly stiff and bitter.

"Son, I know you're young, but when you're older and less naïve, you'll understand what I'm going to say...... It can be a little brutal. Think about it, if I attack the prison, I will definitely be hostile from all sides because of the lack of evidence of Lena's innocence. Already being half-demons and succubi, they will be even more on thin ice, and will even jeopardize the neutrality and reliability of our academy and the demon hunter profession. Even with the best, I'll never be able to enter that city again. Besides, to put it more cruelly, she and I are not friends, and I have no responsibility or obligation to save her. ”

"But ......" Canette looked unwilling and unacceptable: "But she's so pathetic, we should ......"

"But at least we freed her. April also looked a little helpless: "That's right, she's very pitiful. But that doesn't change much. From the beginning, there was no way for us to save her. It's not like saving people in ordinary life, you have to recognize the scope of your ability. Also, Cannett...... As young as you are, I want you to remember that you should never point fingers at anything from the perspective of a hypocritical bystander. ”

"......" The young witcher hung his head in frustration and distress, and did not speak again for a long time. Aprili approached with some reluctance and touched the little boy's head.

"Well, what ......if," Canette raised her head slightly, and asked in a depressed whisper, "If, sister, your family and friends...... Like me, Ino, Lucina, Uncle Geralton...... We had something similar to that......"

"Needless to say, I'll do my best to save you. No matter what the cost. Without hesitation, Aprile smiled and replied firmly: "If something like that happens, it's not time to think about your own safety." ”
