magic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing me very impressed, she started doing something else, so I stopped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hold on a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yoru is really attached to Siegfried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you mess with it and break it, things will get messy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you say it’s already broken because it won’t move, that’s not the

move?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t she tell me earlier that she didn’t know what would happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a matter of possibility?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That might be true,

continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Versa began chanting a spell, the sample of the devil statue gently floated into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, just as it made contact with Siegfried,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blinding light burst forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>M-My eyes… it hurts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t keep them open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the light seemed to last only a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I managed to open my eyes again…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was Siegfried, still bound in chains, unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The devil statue sample lay on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hadn’t shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No… something was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siegfried began to tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trembling grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from Siegfried’s joints, blood and what looked like flesh began to spill out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood and flesh moved with intent, trying to wrap around Siegfried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chains and all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe that’s why the blood and muscle couldn’t form properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several attempts, the blood and flesh stopped moving… and turned their awareness toward Versa, the one controlling the chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to be asking, ‘can’t you release the chains?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least that’s what it looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Versa flatly refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood and flesh lashed out more violently a few more times, then as if reversing a scene, they flowed back into Siegfried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trembling slowed, then stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Versa stayed alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chains remained in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yoru… had fainted where she stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably when the blood and flesh started pouring out of the joints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fainting upright is dangerous, so I laid her down in a safe spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time I came back, Siegfried was thrashing, trying to break free from the hangar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it wasn’t over after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restraints in the hangar were already destroyed, but the chains Versa had conjured were still keeping it from getting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Versa turned to me and asked for confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it okay to destroy Siegfried?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to say no, but letting it go on like this wasn’t an option either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yoru was unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d definitely be against it once she woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I hesitated, something began to form near Siegfried’s head, flesh and blood from earlier, shaping into something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a box… and something extended from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cannon?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trusting my instincts, I rushed toward Siegfried and swung my hoe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throwing my spear would’ve been faster, but the angle was bad this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I’d thrown it, it might’ve hit the racetrack, fields, or even the mansion behind the hangar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to give myself credit for making that judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hoe I swung struck Siegfried’s right leg, tilling it into the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its right leg gone, Siegfried toppled inside the hangar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I followed up with another swing of the hoe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its chest and head were tilled and returned to the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I was about to swing again, Siegfried stopped moving. A hatch opened, and something flew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A naked woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was bigger than me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over three meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her horns were massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought she might be a minotaur, but she was too slender for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black hair… no, blonde?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t perceive her properly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment ago, she looked like a towering adult woman. Now, she appears to be a small child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her horns are small now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That child… was clinging to Versa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And using her as a shield to hide from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is her existence not stable yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a name or power, she’s harmless in this state?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Siegfried?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It won’t go on a rampage anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Versa snapped her fingers, and the heavy chains disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… it’s over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t intend to do anything to the child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can I leave her with you, Versa?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She made a deeply disgusted expression, but accepted anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank goodness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you need anything, just let me know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll make sure it’s prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely bitter food… is that really necessary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, I’ll do my best to find some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now… I looked over at what remained of the half-plowed Siegfried, wondering what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And saw that it had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The parts I’d tilled and returned to the earth remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything else had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Versa pointed at the small child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she’s the cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah… how am I supposed to explain this to Yoru when she wakes up?\u003C\u002Fp>",1530,"2026-06-05T23:08:42.455Z",1,"novelbin.me","3e3f35831c95258899f308a6a20038d773a6c27f7b41593a13c1b1566056bd49","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-957","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-955",1036,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fisekai-nonbiri-nouka-cover.jpg"]
