Outside the window, raindrops continue to beat against the glass, like the background music of nature. It also reminds the people in this dim warehouse that time is short, and every second is passing.

"Phoenix, what if your sister became severely mentally ill, and you, her only reliable family member, ended up in prison What do you think her life would be like in a mental hospital And as the sister of a repeat offender from the Resurgence Church, how do you think she'd be treated"

In the room, the great poet of love was still using his light words to repeatedly ask Phoenix. His eyes were bloodshot and constantly brimming with tears.

"No more...let her go...let Phyllis go..."

His voice was broken and hesitant.

He fought tooth and nail against imagining according to the words of the great love poet, yet those images kept coming unbidden, accompanied by the maddening voice of the great love poet, flooding his mind uncontrollably, driving him to the brink of insanity.

Finally.

Great love poet, well then, come back.

In the distance, Randy sitting at a table beckoned with his hand and said.

"Tsk, I was having fun."

The great love poet looked at Lan Chi with a dissatisfied frown and clicked his tongue.

"I'll take you out to play more often in the future."

Lanchi said.

"No."

The great poet, when engaged in her beloved pastime, was called to a halt by Lanche. She was quite unhappy about it.

"

I'll make you a new skin.

"

Ranch continued.

"New skin"

The great poet looked at him with bewilderment.

"Yes, besides not being able to change your facial features, you can probably change your entire style. You don't need to buy extra clothes; you just need a magic card to change outfits directly."

Ranche explained.

The effect of the three-tier white common equipment card [Cartoon Mask] I made in the last summoning master exam is to equip it on summoned creatures, making their fierce appearance harmonious and cute, changing their appearance. If Lynch combines this with the principle of [Transformation: Demon], he should be able to create a specialized styling change card for Da Aishi.

Although it's just for looks and takes up space in a ranch, it can lower the Bard's recognition. If you go to the North Continent, even if you don't let the Bard use their magical sound freely, having an extra spiritual companion can be quite useful.

>Additionally, Ranch is unsure if there will be a market for these new spell cards that give familiars custom skins. Since each one would be bespoke, the price would certainly be high. Unless someone is particularly dedicated to their familiar, they probably wouldn't buy this kind of card from him.

"Hurry, hurry, back to work!"

The great poet immediately walked to Lance's table and patted it, then listened as his words dissipated and transformed back into Lance's card.

She was clearly excited by the possibility of disguises, eager to fill her own exclusive card slots with Ranchi's cards in the future.

"The two of you..."

Hughbert felt uneasy at the side.

Lan Chi and the love poet were playing dress-up like this with Tatta, if Ms. Tatta found out…

After the disappearance of the poet of great love.

Phoenix finally emerged from the depths like someone who had been drowning, gasping for breath with terror in his eyes.

He stared at the ranch behind the table.

Seeing Ranchi's ability to command such an incredibly powerful and otherworldly summon, Phoenix couldn't help but wonder just how strong this man truly was and what other secrets he held.

Now he even felt that back in that demon academy, Lynch might have truly been as terrifying and evil as he and his sister had seen.

Then, Lance opened all the lights in the warehouse and uncuffed Phoenix. He handed him a steaming cup of tea and returned to his seat at the table.

"I'm sorry, Phoenix-kun. My Familiar might be a bit too aggressive."

Lance said to Phoenix with a hint of apology.

Hubberley quietly recorded Phoenix's testimony, she knew that Ranch was indeed a conservative, he always thought the radicals were too conservative.

"……"

Phoenix lowered her head and listened quietly, not daring to interrupt Lance's words.

Although the current environment has undergone simple changes, the atmosphere has shifted from an interrogation room to a student council meeting room.

But Phoenix's heart was still cold, her ears seeming to still echo the words of the great poet of love.

First, let me assure you that none of the situations the great poet spoke of will occur.

Lan Qi gazed at Phoenix with a gentle expression. Unlike the romantic poet, his words and actions were exceptionally upright and dignified.

"!"

Phoenix couldn't tell if Ranch was being serious or speaking in code.

Because to him, the sentence seemed to carry the weight of, "If you don't cooperate, then what the great poet said will happen."

I believe you're already ready to make the change, so, do you have any ideas about switching sides

Finally, Lanchi finished his opening remarks and asked.

Actually, by now, both Ranch and Huberly had a general understanding in their hearts.

For example, every teammate they met for the first time in their initial world 【Hellfire Academy】 felt like a destined encounter.

And Phoenix's sister, if she were not a member of the Resurrection Cult, he would have taken her with him to the Purgatory Hall during his time there. This trip to the Hulton Kingdom also included her, clearly she is very important to Phoenix; he wouldn't leave his sister alone in the Alolan Kingdom.

Just look at Phoenix's expression now.

"Do I still have a choice"

Phoenix lowered his head, his voice a gravelly whisper.

He knew this group of demons would, like the Ruinous Bishop, use his sister as leverage, forcing him to dedicate himself fully to the Church.

Then, facing the destruction-wielding bishop who had incinerated their town like a divine being, he, a child, gambled his soul and struck a bargain with the destroyer to spare him and his fatally wounded, unconscious sister.

He was already prepared to sell his soul to the devil again, even if it meant eternal damnation. He would protect his sister until the very end.

"Of course, I'm not one of those heartless, wicked cardinals from the Resurrection Church. I'm clearly a good young man, law-abiding and full of love. I stand in stark contrast to those people at the Resurrection Church. You can trust me with your heart."

Lance smiled back, his expression as warm and gentle as a spring breeze.

This sent a shiver down Phoenix's spine.

Phoenix dared not reveal the deep suspicion he harbored in his heart about Ranch's words.

Because Lance didn't seem to be joking.

If you contradicted Lance's words, he might get angry and claim that this prisoner "doesn't have the right level of ideological awareness" and give him another treatment.

"Regardless of whether you ultimately repent or not, as long as you confirm that your sister is innocent, the Ecthelion Academy will guarantee that she will no longer be harassed by the Revenant Church. She is her, and you are you, you are not connected, that's all there is to it."

Ranch's voice was calm as he added,

"I am willing to help everyone in need, even if you feel that you are beyond redemption. As long as you sincerely repent, I will give you a chance to start anew and return to the right path."

"To your sister, you're also very important. You're her only trusted and reliable person. For Philis's happiness, consider it."

After finishing his words, Lance covered his teacup and fell silent, giving Phoenix time to think.

"……"

Phoenix knew that Lynch found him difficult to understand, dangerous and mysterious.

"It is also at this moment."

Phoenix inexplicably felt a radiance emanating from him, as if an emerald-eyed demon with piercing gaze was watching over him. This demonic entity was the only being capable of offering him salvation.

Just like when we were both protected by him in the headmaster's office at Purgatory Corridor Academy.

He is scary though.

But Phoenix began to hope, if he were on the same side.

Then he will give him protection.

> Nothing is more reassuring than this.
