"I understand. Go all out! I believe in you, Sylvia," Sabro's words made Sylvia feel her entire body go limp. She then smiled and said to her brother,
"Thank you, Brother."
"Then next is Dad..."
"Go ahead and do it. I'll talk to Dad," Sabro said, rubbing Sylvia's head.
The young girl, having made all sorts of resolutions, began to move forward for her desires... Within the Division.
"Iruma, listen carefully. The imitation will have a significant impact on Sabnock's mind and body. If Teacher Momo judges the situation to be critical, he will immediately stop the activities. And if that happens, the Magic Tool Research Division will cease all activities indefinitely. Understand?"
"Yes!" Iruma looked intently over there.
"I believe in Sylvia, and I believe in Sylvia's desires. This is everyone's unanimous decision."
Hearing this, Kalego sighed.
"Originally, such a dangerous act wouldn't be allowed, but since the family... and even the current head of the family has agreed..." Kalego said, looking at Sabrozzan's signature on the contract.
"I didn't expect you'd actually go beg your father..." Azu said, looking at the injured Sabro.
"I didn't beg! I just had a normal quarrel, as usual..."
"I see."
Byun looked at the workshop in front of him. Inside, two demons loyal to their desires were working hard. He didn't know why he felt so uneasy. Was he worried about Sylvia? Yes... but not entirely.
Recalling what happened after leaving Teacher Zuo Yi earlier:
"Senior Marni, do you have any thoughts?"
"Huh? Uh... There's a lot to grasp, but I always feel the content is too profound... I haven't fully understood it..."
"[You are telling yourselves false lies that satisfy the status quo.] I feel... I really admire Teacher Zuo Yi. If I could be like Teacher Zuo Yi, wholeheartedly considering only the work, facing my desires directly, and giving my all to create... it must be incredibly joyful. Someday, I hope to challenge my sword immortal, give my all to draw a masterpiece... give my all... to draw a masterpiece."
Marni looked at her hands.
"Challenge the limits, give my all... to draw..."
Ah ah ah ah!
A scream came, and then Sylvia immediately ran out and fell to the ground. All the demons immediately rushed forward to show their concern.
"Sylvia, are you alright?"
"Are you alright... Huh?"
The demons watched Sylvia, who was so excited she was drooling... "Ha... Haah, our eyes met. Galuna and I made eye contact... It was... it was... awesome, simply fantastic!"
All the demons were stunned.
"Senior Bimu is a genius, a super genius! I'm going back in. Please let me do it. I will definitely draw it!"
Marni looked at Sylvia, and her arms began to tremble. Then she also ran out... She didn't know why, this excitement, she didn't understand... but she really wanted to... draw... "By the way, Miss Sylvia, you really like to draw, don't you?"
"Yes, although it's been a long time since I held a brush, even so, I will definitely capture your original beauty, Miss Galuna!"
Hearing this, Galuna, sitting opposite, smiled and nodded.
"I'm truly flattered to have such a charming demon like you draw my portrait."
Hearing this, Sylvia scratched her head.
"Actually, the reason I became interested in drawing was the impact I felt from the painting of your sister, Miss Palome."
Hearing this, Galuna's hand, holding the cup, paused.
"Because... my sister? She's truly a troublesome demon. The demons around her fall into complete fear upon seeing her, and she enjoys it. Even as a painting, she still likes to cause trouble for many demons. She's truly helpless, but I love this about my sister. My sister and I have been together since childhood, so I know very well that she's quirky and willful, like an overgrown child, but she always follows her desires. She's truly... an interesting toy that incites destructive urges."
Hearing this, the blood in Sylvia's body seemed to freeze. A chill shot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
"Toy... a toy..."
Galuna gestured with her finger.
"A toy that dances with just a light poke. To me, everyone around is a toy, but my sister, oh~ she's especially funny. Even if clothes don't suit her appearance, she'll wear them if you say they look good. Even if she doesn't want to keep someone around, if you just give her a slight push, she'll go talk to them, and then get hurt. But then she'll say,'See? Everyone's terrified expression~ Doesn't it feel wonderful?'"
"Even her sexual preferences are twisted by my instigation, a foolish female demon. That's why I can't stop poking her, Sylvia! I want to become a painting and continue to destroy my sister's demonic life! To make my sister no longer feel the meaning of living, to prevent others from ever approaching my sister's portrait, please depict my beauty as something that doesn't belong to this world! Come on! Draw me incredibly beautiful, Sylvia!"
Sylvia stared blankly at the demon in front of her. A seed seemed to be planted in her eyes, then it took root and sprouted, turning into a white rose. Just as Sylvia was about to agree, a pair of hands covered her eyes.
"Don't take this child away, Galuna."
Sylvia rested for a moment, then immediately began to breathe heavily.
"Ugh! Huff puff."
"How are you? Are you alright, Sylvi?"
Sylvia didn't answer but asked in return,
"How many minutes?"
"Two minutes and thirty-six seconds."
Hearing this, Sylvia shook her head and then rubbed her eyes.
"Next time... three minutes, no! I want to imitate for five minutes."
Hearing this, Bimu looked at Sylvi.
"Don't get too deeply involved. You must not feel fear, otherwise your mind will be taken over. Also, I will pull you out. Never let go of this hand," Bimu said, tightly gripping Sylvia's hand.
Sylvia looked up and seemed to see Galuna in the painting looking at her with the eyes of someone examining a toy.
"Come here~ Let me tell you more about myself~"
I want to let go, I want to merge with that beautiful world, I want to let... no, I won't let go. I'm not drawing alone. Everyone is supporting me, everyone is waiting for my painting... Galuna, just wait. I will display you before many demons, I definitely will! Even if it's an evil cycle, I will directly overcome it.
Sylvia's hair began to change color. Her originally golden hair turned black, but it seemed only a part of it had turned black. When the remaining black tried to spread, it was suppressed by some unknown force.
