"I'll explain later."
Katarina caught the shift in Sai's expression just as he was about to speak, cutting him off before a single word could leave his lips. Without waiting for a response, she dropped the barrier surrounding them. The invisible wall dissolved instantly, as though it had never existed in the first place.
"We're taking him away. You guys don't have any problem with that, right?"
Her gaze hardened as she looked down at the kneeling devils below. There was no room for argument in her tone—only quiet authority. Before any of them could react, she waved her hand lightly. In response, the air itself seemed to obey her will. The three of them—Katarina, Sai, and Azazel—were lifted smoothly off the ground, rising into the air as if gravity had simply decided to release its hold on them.
"Now then…"
She turned her attention to the young devil beside them, her eyes narrowing slightly in thought.
"…where do you live?"
…
Three minutes later, they arrived.
