Rys?

I wanted to protect you.

No matter who you are or where you're from,

I swear to be loyal to you

and live with you for the rest of my life.

So...

Please let me stay by your side, Master!

You who believed me and stayed by my side

You're really sure?

Yes!

after I was thrown into this world alone.

There is no greater honor for a lupine woman than to have a strong husband!

I can't believe I get to be the wife of a man as strong as you!

Uh, no, we're just pretending to be married...

I suggested a provisional "marriage" to avoid a master-and-servant relationship,

It matters not what it is, Master—I mean, Darling!

and you accepted that far more happily than I ever would have dreamed.

D-Darling?!

Fenrys! Surely mew are aware that

this man is the one who wiped out your brother, Fengaryl, and his forces!

You were left all alone because of me, and yet...

That's what people call being kind, you know.

I admire that part of you just as much as the rest.

You still continued to love me, which was why I felt

that protecting you was the role I had earned here in this unfamiliar world.

And yet...

Origin of Light and Darkness magic acquired.

You will pay.

S-Sir Flio?

You will pay for that.

I swear it!

Rewinding the target individual's time.

Hiya, Djinn of Light and Darkness

Why?

How can a mere human use magic that turns back time?

Just who are—

H-How dare you...

How dare you do this to one who has mastered all of this world's magic?!

Shut your damn mouth.

Origin of Darkness!

Wha... You canceled it?!

J-Just what are you?!

This is...

W-Wait! It can't be!

Infinite skills?!

Defensive magic is meaningless!

I...

Lady Rys! Are you all right?

Y-Yes... What happened?

I don't even have a scratch.

It must have been Sir Flio's magic.

But...

Darling?

Oh, Darling! Look at him, being so ruthless for my sake!

And physical attacks shouldn't even work on a djinn who can use every type of magic!

I don't want to kill you.

I don't really like fighting to begin with.

I just don't want to kill someone who's surrendered.

That's all.

Yet, for my sake...

P-Please spare m—

No. You killed Rys.

Stop!

You mustn't do this, Darling!

Just seeing you display such rage for my sake

proves how fortunate I am.

And yet... I wonder why...

You let me live because you didn't want to kill someone who had surrendered.

That kindness of yours...

It would make me sad to see you lose it because of me!

Rys?

Darling...

You're warm.

As you can see, I'm just fine, Darling.

Thank goodness...

Thank goodness!

Rys!

Are you all right?

Y-Yes...

I'm sorry to put you through so much.

Making you use Teleportation when so few have recovered their magic...

N-No, Your Highness.

If only I had more magic left,

I could accompany you to the next town...

Ensure the mages get to rest above all else.

Yes, Highness.

If we're to find the true hero,

we'll have to simply question people from this point on.

The Collar of Sacrifice disappeared...

What could this possibly mean?

I-It couldn't be...

The djinn failed to grant the wish?

We know you're in there!

Come out right now!

Don't bother resisting! Turn yourself in to the princess!

Wh-What should we do, Hero?

If they catch us, we'll be executed!

Damn that djinn! Was all that about granting my wish a lie?!

Oh? To think the djinn could fail.

H-Hero!

There's a perfect sacrifice right here.

What is happening?!

Tsuya!

I finally got out of there.

Tsuya?

My first flesh body in hundreds of years...

Not bad.

I don't think I like these clothes, though.

Are you...

No complaints now.

Tsuya, you can use magic?

I must thank you for freeing that nuisance djinn for me.

That's why I was able to get out.

Now, Golden-Haired Hero...

I, Damalynas, the Grand Magus of Midnight,

will give you the power you desire in that djinn's stead.

Lovely!

That looks much better than the slow-witted, dopey face you had before!

Now, let us go

and bring divine judgment upon the nobles who were foolish enough to seal me away!

A Teleportation circle?

I will not let the royals who sealed me escape.

That includes all of their descendants and successors!

Are you awake?

Please forgive me!

How... I've been healed?

Only because Rys was unharmed in the end.

Sir Flio!

What shall we do with this djinn?

She's too much for the knights to handle, much less this town's vigilante corps.

That's true...

We could seal her up in the castle treasury again...

How do you—

For some reason, I have access to more spells now.

I wanted to know why we were attacked,

so I took a peek inside your head to see what happened.

Memory Projection magic?

He can now use magic that only I could use before?

You're a djinn who grants wishes, but only for a massive price.

If I return you to the castle, the same thing might just happen again.

What shall we do, then?

Oh, that's quite simple!

Starting today, you are my husband's servant!

Huh?

R-Rys? I—

I am well aware that you don't want a servant, Darling.

But since we can't rely on the castle to manage her,

would it not be better to keep her close by so we can watch her?

Rys...

Besides, having such a powerful djinn in our pack...

would look great on our résumé, as they say!

Rys, I definitely think your persuasion skills have improved,

but your inner voice is leaking out.

I-It's true that strength isn't everything,

but still, having a strong pack is never a bad thing... s-so...

And that's okay with you?

This is the woman who hurt you.

L-Lady Rys...

Y-You don't have to push yourself.

It is extremely frustrating!

But it was my own lack of strength that let her get the better of me.

If that's how you feel,

it doesn't make sense for me to stay pissed at her forever.

If you promise you'll never take anyone's life again and take my hand,

I'm willing to forgive what you did.

What'll it be?

It's precisely because humans are so reluctant to part with hatred and obsessions

that they have desires they're willing to sacrifice others to fulfill.

I thought that was just the sort of creature they were.

How very intriguing.

Great and supreme Flio,

transcendent one who has made every power in existence his own...

I wish to see what you desire, and what you achieve.

I swear to you that this body,

and all the powers it possesses, henceforth belong to you.

And I apologize for taking things too far.

No, there is no need for you to apologize.

Why is it that just recalling that look in his eyes gives me such a thrill?

Hey, were you just having some kind of freaky thoughts?

No, certainly not.

Then why is your face red?

Um, Rys?

We have to get this area fixed up, too.

Oh, I know.

Maybe the Time Manipulation magic I used to heal your wounds could work.

Please wait a moment.

I am sorry to ask, but please never use that particular magic again.

Huh? Why not?

It is a bit complicated to explain...

but Time Manipulation magic controls time only for individuals within a target range.

Discrepancies that occur between those within that range and those outside it

can easily lead to unforeseen accidents.

So long as I am the one using it,

I am capable of narrowing the target range down to only one individual,

but it is not a kind of magic that humans are meant to use.

Then why can I use it?

As a supreme being, your status shows that your skills are infinite.

Infinite?

Are you talking about that symbol?

Banaza Lv. 2\h\h\h Strength ... ∞ Defense ... ∞ Speed ... ∞ Magic ... ∞ HP ... ∞ Skills ... ∞

With infinite skills,

you are able to use a type of magic called Epiphany,

which only those who have earned the title "Transcendence" can use.

Epiphany?

Yes. Once any type of magic is used on you,

you acquire the spell for yourself, and all spells associated with it.

So you're saying that when your magic hit me,

I gained the ability to use magic that only djinns should be able to use?

Precisely. But as I said a moment ago,

Time Manipulation magic too often leads to accidents.

I humbly ask that you do not use it again.

Okay, got it.

In that case, I'll use Repair magic to deal with this.

I am Hiya, the djinn who commands the origin of light and darkness.

I will hereby live in this domicile

as a servant to this supreme being.

A pleasure to meet you.

A d-d-d-djinn? F-For real?

First the Dark One, and now a djinn?

Djinns actually exist?

She seemed to have nowhere to go, so I brought her here.

You're talking about her like she's a stray cat you brought home!

The room is ready.

Is it really okay to live under the same roof as a djinn, Balirossa?!

I'm sure it will be, as long as Sir Flio is here.

You're "sure" it will be?!

Come. I'll show you to your room.

This way.

Sir Flio, is something wrong?

Oh, nah. I was just thinking about some things.

I see.

Sorry about today.

I know what I did made you feel scared.

No, not at all...

She may say I have incredible power,

but I have no idea how I'm supposed to use it.

How to use your power?

I don't have power like yours, of course,

but I don't understand, either.

Those I thought were enemies are not enemies,

and those I thought were allies are not allies.

Why am I working to get stronger?

Who is it that I should lift my blade against?

Had I not met you and Lady Rys,

I'm sure I never would have concerned myself with such things.

Oh, but I am grateful to the two of you.

You made me realize that certain things I considered

to be obvious were not so at all.

We went through a lot today.

Are you okay?

Yes.

You seem down. Is something wrong?

You sure you're okay?

Rys?

Are you going to go back to the world you came from?

Huh?

Why do you ask that?

It's what Hiya said.

Once any type of magic is used on you, you acquire it

and all spells associated with it.

I guess so.

Now that you can use djinn magic,

are you not capable of returning to your own world?

Please take me with you!

No matter where you go, as long as you're there, I'll be there with you!

So please... please don't leave me behind!

Rys...

I'm not going back.

The world I came from would be a tough place for you to live in,

and I have no intention of leaving you behind to live there.

But...

Rys...

Would you become my wife for real?

Earlier today, when I thought I might lose you,

I was scared out of my mind.

I've never felt so completely torn up inside before.

That's why I couldn't control myself.

I know I said we'd only be husband and wife in name only,

but I can't seem to imagine life without you anymore.

Darling...

O-Our marriage was never in name only to me. I was your wife from the start.

Rys...

I was only ever taught how to fight and lead a pack,

but after meeting you, I learned that there are so many emotions I can feel.

Darling...

You once told me that you changed your appearance when fleeing from the castle.

But there's no need to hide your true form anymore, is there?

My identity in this world, "Flio," is who I am now.

As long as you know me,

my old name and appearance can stay in the past.

Darling...

Hiya! H-H-H-How long have you been there?!

Since the moment you two sat on the bed.

Y-You were watching us the whole time?!

Naturally.

It is my duty to witness where my supreme being goes.

I must see everything.

What?!

Nope! No more of that! Invading people's privacy is forbidden!

What is there to hide? Breeding is perfectly normal.

If you're going to live with us, you need to learn common sense!

Damn you, Hiya!

I'll get you for this!

C-Calm down, Rys!

You gotta talk about that stuff more quietly.

They're so full of passion.

You shouldn't listen to this, Belano.

You expect me to calm down?!

It's fine. I'm not a child anymore.

C'mon! Deep breaths!

In that case, I will make myself invisible when watching you so I won't disturb you.

Um, no!

You're not human anymore, Hero.

It was my charm that was holding this story together!

Now that's all ruined!

Whether you're a beast or not,

I don't think your charm level has changed much.

Oh, really?!

So even turning into a beast can't erase my charm!

That wasn't a compliment, Hero.
