"Based on the above statements, the Water God is sentenced to—death."
Before everyone could clearly see the contents of the stationery, the Oratrice Mecanique D'analyse Cardinale erupted in a dazzling sea-blue light, instantly enveloping everyone.
From this moment on… the flow of external time was irrelevant to them.
…
When Yuto opened his eyes again, he found himself in a place he knew all too well.
Looking at the dilapidated Opera House in front of him, and the giant sword suspended in the center of the stage, a look of confusion appeared on Yuto's face.
"But… speaking of which, why am I here? Shouldn't Lord Neuvillette be here—"
Before Yuto could finish muttering to himself, he saw Lord Neuvillette standing beside him, equally bewildered.
"Why… did Focalors pull both of us in?"
Lord Neuvillette looked at his surroundings, then at Yuto standing beside him, a look of surprise on his face.
"This is…?"
Lord Neuvillette was momentarily confused about where this was, why he had come here, and what was going on with Yuto beside him.
After briefly observing the expression on Yuto's face, Lord Neuvillette's confusion deepened.
"Why… isn't he surprised at all? It's as if he knew this scene would happen all along…"
However, before he could open his mouth to ask Yuto beside him, a woman in a pure white veil slowly walked towards him.
As the maiden moved, the blue colossal sword that reached the sky also moved with her steps, little by little, like a Sword of Damocles, constantly hanging over her head.
"You…"
Lord Neuvillette looked at the white-clad maiden, who looked exactly like Lady Furina, a look of disbelief flickering in his grey eyes.
"What on earth is this…?"
"Pfft…"
The white-clad maiden looked at Lord Neuvillette in front of her, a heartfelt smile appearing on her face.
How many years had it been since she last smiled?
She didn't know.
It felt like… five hundred years, perhaps?
As she thought of this, the white-clad maiden slightly composed her expression. She first looked at Yuto, who stood on the other side with a calm demeanor, a smile appearing on her face.
"Mr. Immortal Spirit… could you please wait a moment?"
"Mr. Immortal Spirit…"
Yuto's mouth twitched slightly, seemingly a bit… speechless at this new title, but he still nodded gently.
Although he didn't know what Focalors wanted to say to him, he would just wait.
Focalors saw Yuto nod, and the smile on her face became even more pronounced.
At this moment… she truly felt fortunate for the 'self' who was about to live as a human in this world.
The emotions she had never experienced… would be experienced by her on her behalf.
Thinking of this, Focalors looked at Lord Neuvillette in front of her.
"I apologize, I just really like your surprised expression right now, and I couldn't help but smile."
Lord Neuvillette, meanwhile, looked at Yuto beside him, then at the "Lady Furina" in front of him, a flicker of confusion in his grey eyes.
"You are not Lady Furina… who are you?"
"Hmm~ Seeing you so surprised means I successfully fooled you. Clearly, I am the Demon God Focalors~"
"'Fooled us'? Demon God Focalors? Why?"
Focalors shrugged, then continued:
"Of course, I wasn't trying to fool you. The one I need to fool… is the heavenly principles."
After saying this, Focalors paused slightly, then turned her gaze to Yuto.
"And also, isn't there… someone I haven't fooled yet?"
