Outside Evangeline's log cabin, Negi, Kagurazaka Asuna, Sakurazaki Setsuna, and Kamo were already standing at the door. As for why Ryugu Mana and her companions didn't come, it was because Ryuudou intercepted them halfway. Originally, Negi and the others had planned to enlist Ryuudou's help to rescue Konoe Konoka, but he refused. Then, Ryuudou said something to Ryugu Mana and her group, and they withdrew from the team tasked with confronting Evangeline.
Negi was puzzled as to why Ryuudou wouldn't help them, but Ryuudou told them it was a form of trial. It was a trial for Negi because he had been too lax during his time at Mahora Academy. Hearing this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, as not having to face several terrifying enemies was truly a blessing.
Thinking back to the substantial killing intent 'Evil' had made them feel, a killing intent so potent they could almost taste blood, they still felt terrified even now just remembering her crimson eyes. And 'Good,' who always maintained an elegant (joyful) smile, was also a terrifying existence, capable of trying to kill Negi while smiling broadly.
Following the address on the class roster, they arrived outside Evangeline's villa. Kagurazaka Asuna looked at the villa before her, thinking about her own life.
"Eh~ So the school has this kind of preferential treatment? Why can Evangeline live in such a big villa here? And the surrounding environment is so nice; you don't have to worry about being disturbed no matter what you do. Damn capitalists!" Thinking about how she woke up at three-thirty every morning to deliver newspapers to earn tuition, while Evangeline could live in such a luxurious villa. Her hatred for the capitalists made her momentarily forget the purpose of their visit, and she glared fiercely at the villa, saying.
"Student Asuna, Evangeline is a Vampire who has lived for hundreds of years. She's been at Mahora Academy for over a decade. It's already difficult enough for her to attend school here; if she had to live with other students like you, that would be too much to ask of her." Thinking about Evangeline being a middle school student for over ten years, longer than his current age, Negi suddenly felt that Evangeline was actually a pitiful person. At least he didn't have the confidence to be a middle school student for over ten consecutive years.
"...That's true." Nodding, Kagurazaka Asuna expressed understanding. She came to Mahora Academy Elementary School at seven (her fabricated age) and has been there for several years now. Evangeline was already a middle school student when she was in elementary school. If it were her, she felt she would go crazy.
"You've arrived. My master has been waiting for you for a while. Please come in." Just as they hesitated, wondering whether to knock, Chachamaru, dressed in a maid outfit, opened the door and appeared before them. After informing them that Evangeline had been waiting for them for some time, she bowed and walked into the villa. Seeing no hostility from Chachamaru, who seemed to have no particular feelings towards Negi and his group, who were previously her enemies, further confirmed to Negi and the others that Konoe Konoka should actually be fine.
Negi and the others looked at each other, appearing somewhat embarrassed. For these young boys and girls who hadn't dealt with such situations much, they indeed didn't know what to do, and none of them took the lead to enter. Even Sakurazaki Setsuna, who was anxious to rescue her young mistress, felt at a loss.
"I say, why do you all look like you haven't been home for years and don't know how to face your parents? You lot are truly wishy-washy. Why didn't I see you being so polite just now? Weren't you just looking like you wanted to devour me whole?" As they hesitated, Evangeline appeared before them in a simple white lace nightgown, twirling her golden hair with one hand, a playful smile on her face as she watched them, constrained.
"..." Kagurazaka Asuna opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but remembering the scene where she and the others were pinned to the ground and rubbed, and the fact that Konoe Konoka was still in their opponent's hands, she wisely closed her mouth. Although she had a lot to say, it was clearly better to be docile now that her side was in a passive state.
"Oh? How could Kagurazaka Asuna be so polite? Is this really the Kagurazaka Asuna I know? How could the violent, dim-witted, and disrespectful Kagurazaka Asuna make such a polite gesture? I suspect I'm seeing a fake Kagurazaka Asuna. Where did you hide her?" Seeing Kagurazaka Asuna acting timid and afraid to speak, Evangeline, with a mischievous streak, covered her mouth and mocked, causing countless '#' symbols to appear above Kagurazaka Asuna's head as she glared at Evangeline through gritted teeth.
"You! You! You're going too far! You Stinky brat!" Kagurazaka Asuna had such a fiery temper! Her impulsive nature immediately made her want to rush forward and teach Evangeline a good lesson.
"Student Asuna, calm down! Student Konoka is still in her hands; if you do this, it will greatly hinder our next actions. Most importantly, we are no match for them!" Negi pulled her back, crying and laughing. Hadn't they agreed before to stay calm no matter what happened? Why did she lose her temper so quickly?
"But she actually said I'm violent! And dim-witted! Negi, tell me, am I really like she said? This must be slander, right?"
"Uh... well~" Negi, who was about to say yes, remembered her performance over the past few months and turned his head away, not looking at her. His reaction, however, implicitly confirmed that Evangeline's words were correct.
"How could this be..." Evangeline's eyes widened as she looked at Negi. Even he thought so. Was she really that kind of person? (Yes! Yes!)
