The Seal of Memory Has Been Unlocked

Emilia felt a small deer inside her, Ayanokouji was beside her, and she couldn't help but think about it.

However, due to the trial, her mental and physical strength were greatly depleted, and she still slept unconsciously amidst her scattered thoughts.

Ayanokouji gazed at the sleeping Emilia with a very relaxed expression. She must be dreaming of comfort from him, her psychological trauma had been greatly healed, so she did not experience nightmares.

In the capital city of the kingdom, Emilia saw the illusion of the sky and her face reddened, which was very visible on her snow-white face, and she reached out to cover her entire face.

Seeing her spoiled appearance on the screen, Emilia felt she was truly socially dead, and she never thought she would actually act like that and say such words.

With shame in her heart, Emilia felt she was not much better than the yandere self in the previous regression.

"Lia has reached that age."

Puck folded his hands on his chest and looked at Emilia meaningfully.

"This is the joy of youth! But Lia, your taste in men is very bad!"

"Stop talking!"

Emilia said more excitedly, reaching out her hand and covering Puck's mouth.

Ayanokouji walked to the side gently and added more aroma to aid sleep. After Emilia's breathing became slow and steady, and after making sure she had entered a deep sleep, he slowly walked towards her.

He reached out his hand, aimed at Emilia's neck, and slowly approached. With his strength, it was easy to break her neck.

However, Ayanokouji's goal was exactly the same as in the previous regression, to awaken the sleeping Puck.

If her memories were not opened, Emilia's mental state would deteriorate every time she participated in the trial. The verbal comfort provided by Ayanokouji was also limited, so he planned to awaken Puck as soon as possible and open Emilia's memories.

As Ayanokouji's hand was about to touch Emilia's neck, he felt a biting cold, and a layer of ice clung to his arm.

"You are very cruel." He said softly.

"You are truly able to think of ways to awaken me." Puck's voice came from the crystal stone on Emilia's chest.

"You should know the current situation." Ayanokouji said, focusing on the crystal stone on Emilia's chest, "You are not helping at all now, and you are making Emilia sad. Well, this should not be your initial desire."

"I am truly sorry, but it is becoming more difficult for me to appear now."

"I know Roswaal has broken your contract, right?"

"That's right."

"But I have eliminated Roswaal as one of the factors. He has signed a contract with me, and he will not take any small actions now."

"Did you really make Roswaal give up?"

"The key issue now is Emilia. I learned a lot of information from the Witch of Greed – some of Emilia's sealed memories are because of the contract with you, right?" Ayanokouji said.

"Sorry, it's because..."

"Your reasons are useless. I just know that if Emilia continues to face trials with her memories sealed, her spirit will truly collapse."

"I know." Puck's voice hesitated.

Although Ayanokouji did not show any emotional turmoil, in Puck's ears, it seemed as if he was questioning himself, and he felt responsible.

"Even after the contract is terminated, you should be able to be in another crystal stone for a period of time."

"Yeah."

Ayanokouji took out the crystal pendant given by Frederica from his pocket: "Although it's not as good as the crystal stone you signed a contract with Emilia, it's enough. After canceling the contract, you can stay here for a while."

Even Puck, one of the four Great Spirits, did not feel any emotions towards Ayanokouji's tone. Although he only valued Emilia, he had to admit that Ayanokouji indeed had extraordinary abilities that could handle all unexpected situations perfectly, entrusting Emilia to Ayanokouji at the moment was the most correct and only way.

"Ayanokouji, can you guarantee Emilia's safety?" Puck asked, and the crystal stone on Emilia's chest also glowed.

"Yes." Ayanokouji nodded. Emilia was one of his most important tools, and her integrity needed to be ensured.

Furthermore, he also knew that Puck would rampage after Emilia's death and wanted to destroy the world. Even if he terminated his contract with Emilia, this might not change, so Ayanokouji would prioritize Emilia's life.

Even if he had to deal with Emilia in the future, he would choose to fully restrict her freedom to ensure her survival.

The camera changed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Emilia slowly opened her eyes. After a night's rest, her mental condition had quickly recovered.

Last night, she had many dreams, and she seemed to see strange faces in her dreams. Although she could no longer remember what happened in her dreams, it made her feel very familiar, her pillow was slightly wet.

She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, stretched her body, and then saw Ayanokouji, who was sleeping in a sitting position beside her.

'Ayanokouji didn't come back to stay with me all night?' Emilia's eyes widened, with a slight surprise in them, but even though she tried not to make a sound, not wanting to disturb Ayanokouji's rest, thinking that the other party would feel uncomfortable if she stayed in this position for a long time, she gently shook him: "Ayanokouji, wake up quickly, your neck will hurt if you sleep like this!"

Ayanokouji also slowly opened his eyes. He deliberately pretended to have just woken up: "Emilia, you're awake. I'm sorry I fell asleep. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"You have worked very hard and accompanied me all night. It's very uncomfortable to sleep like this! Why don't you come to my bed and rest? If you don't mind, the bed is warm..."

After speaking, Emilia immediately felt something wrong with her words, as if she was warming the bed for someone else. She immediately lowered her head, her face blushing, thinking about how to explain it.

"Lia, after you woke up, your attention was completely focused on Ayanokouji, and you didn't care about your father at all, this is the sadness of being a father." Puck's voice came from another direction.

"Puck!" Emilia immediately turned and looked towards the source of the voice.

Puck had a smile on his face and floated in the air, but his body was much smaller than before.

"Good, where have you been?" Emilia said joyfully, almost crying. She hadn't seen Puck for a long time. "I was worried about you! You don't want to disappear without permission again!"

Emilia clapped her hands together, and Puck also fell into her hands.

"Is my body much smaller than usual? The limitations are coming faster than expected!" A mischievous smile appeared on Puck's face. "Moreover, I deliberately tried to break the contract, and the value of being a Spirit has been taken from me. There is nothing I can do."

Emilia's eyes widened slightly, and she was slightly surprised: "Breaking the contract... What are you talking about?"

Her tone was hesitant, but she seemed to anticipate what Puck was going to say.

"I have always been by Lia's side. This inability to speak is due to my own reasons and Lia's own issues."

"What? No, wait a minute!" Emilia already knew what Puck was going to say, and she wanted to stop him from saying it. Then, the crystal stone on her chest slowly shattered, "That's not good, Puck."

Emilia's voice trembled, and her eyes turned red.

"I want to explain it to you, but I'm running out of time. Although I am very reluctant, I plan to hand you over to Ayanokouji. He promised me that he would ensure your safety. But Lia, you also trust him."

"What are you talking about." Emilia's tears could no longer be controlled and flowed from her eyes, and her body began to tremble.

"Lia, I want to cry for the contract between you and me. I am truly sorry for unilaterally breaking the contract, but while I am gone, the seal of memories can be lifted. At that time, Lia will surely think of many sad memories, perhaps sadder than wanting to cry more before." Puck floated again and stopped in front of Emilia, and his body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Don't." The sadness made Emilia's voice difficult to hear clearly.

"Lia, you are the most important person to me, truly." Puck's body was almost completely transparent. He turned and looked at Ayanokouji, "The rest, I leave to you."

After saying the last sentence, Puck's body turned into countless particles of light and disappeared completely.

"No! Don't go!"

Emilia's tears continued to flow, almost completely wetting the blanket, and she soon fainted on the bed again. This was because her sealed memories had been lifted, and because she was too sad.

Seeing her unconscious but still crying, Ayanokouji bowed his head and took out a blue pendant from his pocket. Puck should have stayed here for a while.

His communication with Puck last night and the instructions in his words were what made Puck decide to terminate the contract with Emilia.

After the contract was terminated, Emilia had the possibility to break through the trials, and now her mood was at its lowest point. Now that she lacked support, Ayanokouji could 'take advantage' of it, let himself be the unique person beside Emilia.

"How is your new environment?" Ayanokouji asked, bowing his head.

"It's okay, but although the purity of this crystal is very high, it is still far behind what Lia has. I don't have much magical power left now, and I might not be able to last that long." Puck's voice came from the pendant.

"I will find someone else to buy some crystals with higher purity." Ayanokouji said slowly, "Before that, I want to trouble you to be patient, but do you have other ways to gather magic power now?"

Although Puck's existence itself was a threat, he also had very good combat power. Ayanokouji, of course, wanted to take advantage of it.

If possible, the fact that Puck would destroy the world after Emilia's death could be used to limit the enemies from other powers.

"I can extract magic power from others." Puck said.

"Good." Ayanokouji thought seriously and had already thought of a plan, "Then we will discuss it. Puck, please rest for now."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Emilia in front of him and reached out his hand.

Unconsciously, the day had turned into night, and Emilia woke up again. The scenes in her dreams became clearer. After waking up, she remembered the people she saw in her dreams, a woman with short silver hair, a man with long green hair...

But as she remembered her dream, Emilia felt a warm feeling coming from her hand.

It was Ayanokouji holding her hand tightly.
