Stepping into the prison, the surroundings felt vast and empty, unnervingly silent, giving everyone a chilling sensation.

Soon after, in the center of the cold, humid prison hall, we saw Natsuki-chan—asleep on a red wooden chair, looking like a doll.

"Kyoya, look, it really is Natsuki-chan!"

"Natsuki-sensei seems to be fast asleep!"

"..."

Seeing Natsuki Minamiya on the wooden chair, all the girls looked on with curiosity.

Taking in the scene, I slowly walked up to Natsuki. While playfully pinching her little cheeks, I threatened her with a mischievous grin.

"Hehe~ Natsuki-chan, time to get up! Or I'm going to spank you!"

"Kyoya-senpai, why isn't Natsuki-sensei waking up? Could something be wrong?"

Watching Natsuki remain motionless, Kanon Kanase couldn't help but worry.

I knew exactly why Natsuki didn't want to wake up.

This Prison Barrier was a product of Natsuki's imagination. If she regained consciousness, the barrier would disappear, and the imprisoned criminals would escape.

Clearly, Natsuki didn't want that outcome, so she was intentionally refusing to wake up.

Seeing how stubborn Natsuki-chan was, I gently lifted her chin with my finger, a subtle smirk playing on my lips.

"Natsuki-chan, if you don't wake up soon, I'm going to steal your first kiss. I wonder how your main body tastes?"

"Or maybe I'll do something a little more… lewd to you. I wonder if our future daughter will be as cute as you are?"

"....."

Hearing my threat, Natsuki, who had been pretending to be asleep, visibly flinched. It seemed my words had hit a nerve.

"Kyoya, don't bully Natsuki-chan!" Nagisa suddenly grabbed my arm, looking at me with puffed-up cheeks.

Even the other girls started to condemn my actions.

Seeing this, I could only use [Mental Out] to forcefully wake Natsuki.

———

However, the next moment, a silver-white knight suddenly appeared behind Yuuma! Without hesitation, the knight thrust its sharp sword forward.

Its target was Natsuki!

But strangely, the knight's attack seemed to include Yuuma and me as well.

The girls clearly hadn't anticipated this sudden development. Just as the sword was about to pierce Yuuma, I snapped my fingers.

The silver knight instantly vanished.

"Yuuma, what's going on?"

Nagisa, seeing her friend suddenly launch a sneak attack that almost impaled her as well, asked in astonishment.

"I... I don't know what happened either?!" Yuuma's face was also deathly pale at this moment. Her Guardian Knight had suddenly gone berserk—trying to kill even her.

"Tsk~ Trying to kill your own daughter along with the target? That's a bit too heartless, wouldn't you say, Aya Tokoyogi!" I said, my tone cold.

Hearing my words, Yuuma was stunned, her face filled with disbelief.

Clearly, she now understood why her Guardian Knight had suddenly gone berserk. The Witch's power within her had been given to her by Aya Tokoyogi.

And now, within the Prison Barrier, Aya Tokoyogi could naturally easily control the Guardian Knight within her body.

But why would her mother want to kill her too? At this thought, Yuuma's heart began to shatter.

"Hmph. She's just a tool that can be discarded at any time!"

As the cold voice fell, a girl with long black hair, light purple eyes, and dressed in a black miko outfit suddenly appeared before everyone.

"Mother... why...?" Yuuma asked, her voice numb with pain.

"Is this Yuuma's mother?"

Nagisa looked at Aya Tokoyogi, somewhat shocked.

"Seems like it. Aside from the hair length, they're practically identical!" Asagi Aiba commented, equally surprised by their resemblance.

"She's just a clone I created from my cells—a tool to break the Prison Barrier and free me. Nothing more."

"But now the plan has failed. She's utterly useless!"

Hearing Aya Tokoyogi's words—Yuuma's entire being began to crumble. She couldn't believe the person she regarded as her mother only saw her as a tool.

"Shut up!!! Yuuma-chan is not a tool!"

Seeing her friend being treated like this, Nagisa immediately stood up and roared.

Hearing this, Yuuma looked at Nagisa—her eyes brimming with tears.

Aya Tokoyogi ignored them completely, pointing a finger at Yuuma from a distance...

"Alright, it's time to return the power to me!"

The next moment—

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"

Yuuma instantly collapsed to her knees, screaming in agony.

Countless purple lines connecting Yuuma to her Guardian Knight began to snap violently behind her back. The agony of having her power forcibly extracted assaulted her relentlessly.

"How could you do such a thing?! For a Witch, a Guardian is a part of their very being, obtained by sacrificing their humanity! And you, her mother, are trying to take it away?!"

"Stop it! Stop this instant!!"

Yukina Himeragi immediately drew [Schneewalzer]—aiming it at Aya Tokoyogi and shouting furiously.

Hearing this, the other girls were also extremely angry.

Especially Nagisa, whose eyes glowed crimson—on the verge of losing control.

Just as the Guardian Knight's power was about to be completely seized by Aya Tokoyogi, I teleported beside Yuuma and used my magic power to firmly seal it within her body.

"WHO ARE YOU?!!"

Seeing her connection to the power being severed by me, Aya Tokoyogi was horrified. She glared at me menacingly.

Seeing Yuuma kneeling on the ground, drenched in sweat, I healed her injuries, then picked her up.

Before Yuuma could even thank me, I hugged her tightly and gave her a deep kiss.

'Mnnnnn'

"!!!!"

This sudden action stunned everyone present. They stared blankly at Yuuma and me, their eyes wide with disbelief. Even Yuuma was stunned, frozen in place as I kissed her.

A moment later, I released Yuuma and turned to Aya Tokoyogi, a playful smirk on my face.

"Aya Tokoyogi, since you don't care about her, tell me—when I was kissing Yuuma just now, were you imagining it was you I was kissing?"

"Since you don't want her anyway, why not give her to me? She can warm my bed. Or, better yet—how about both of you become my personal maids?"

As I spoke, I pulled Yuuma closer, letting Aya Tokoyogi see her clearly.

These words made Yuuma blush furiously, her mouth twitching, utterly speechless.

Even the usually arrogant Aya Tokoyogi was stunned into silence, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
