Magical Journey: The Other Shore Blooms on the Other Shore

We can't use magic anymore...

Qin felt that her body had reached a critical point, and once this critical point was broken, she would lose control.

"Mr. Qin, what's wrong?" Diana seemed to sense something was wrong with Qin. Even though she was a magical doll, the ominous aura emanating from him made her feel a chill.

"Don't talk to me." Qin held her forehead, trying to stay awake.

They finally escaped.

What's next?

Jean was lost, but Kafka remained inseparable from her. She could no longer use magic, and if she lost control, she couldn't even imagine what she would become.

If he were to completely lose control and unleash his power, it wouldn't be impossible for him to destroy a garden called "Diamond".

At that point, he would have lost—that deal with the devil. If he could no longer control himself, his soul would be captured by the devil, and his body would become the devil's slave.

This is the price of demonic power.

"You always push yourself so hard."

Who?

Qin glanced around, realizing she hadn't managed to shake off someone. Even if they had been spotted and caught up, they shouldn't have been able to do so so quickly. After all, almost everyone should have been preoccupied with Holberly.

With a dim, blood-red gaze, Elena came into view.

Why is she here?

"It really is you, sigh." Elena steadied the teetering violin, then looked at Diana. "You must be Diana? And this is Kafka?"

“Yes,” Diana said.

"Sigh, I'm really good at getting into trouble," Elena said with a wry smile.

……

"That light?" Elaina, who was still eating her bread, suddenly stopped chewing. The arrival of Holberly had only caused Elaina's brain to freeze for a moment.

But the blood-red light that followed immediately stopped her from thinking.

No way? Qin, what are you doing here?

"Elena, what's wrong?" Morissa asked.

"Ahem, it's nothing, I just realized that it's a real mistake not to put jam on the bread," Elena laughed.

What kind of trouble are you causing with this instrument?

Forget it, let's chase after them and see what happens.

"I'll go check out that bloody light. You guys go track down Helberi," Elena said, and then she slipped away. After all, she was just a figurehead in the team, and the rest of the group didn't listen to her commands anyway.

Leaving the team without permission is not unacceptable, as long as the reason is valid.

Elena knew Jean too well; only Jean could cast that kind of eerie magic, unless a demon had truly appeared. But the probability of the latter was incredibly small.

As soon as they caught up, they saw the rickety piano.

So, Holberly was actually covering for their safe escape, right?

Since that's the case, let's see it through to the end.

"Do you have restrictions like Holberly?" Elena asked quickly.

"Hmm... my restriction has been lifted, but Kafka's remains."

How to fix it?

Should I replace all of his organs?

Annoying...

Wouldn't breaking his magic on the spot make all the witches of the Garden of Beauty and Elegance think they're fools? Wouldn't they lose face if their magic was just broken so easily?

"SC1317, come here!"

Just as Elena was at a loss, a stern shout came.

Oh no... This is bad...

This is very bad...

“Irena, and I’ve always respected you so much,” Carola said, still waving her wand and casting spells.

"I...I..." Diana suddenly felt a program in her body being activated, and a will was replacing her mind to carry out her body's commands.

It would be unwise to make an enemy of a witch.

Therefore, Carola chose to strike first. After all, her ultimate goal was to bring SC1317 back. As for Elena, she would leave that to the higher-ups to deal with.

But to her astonishment, Diana (SC1317) did not immediately submit. This was the highest command activated in her body. How could this be?

“I—” Diana struggled to fight against the will within her.

That will kept erasing her past memories—telling her that she was SC1317, the 1317th model of the SC series.

Her birth was for the sake of the garden's beauty and elegance, and obeying the kingdom's orders was her mission.

Personal interests are secondary.

"No—no—" Diana still couldn't control herself and moved her feet toward Carola.

"That's more like it." Carola breathed a sigh of relief. If she hadn't come herself, she wouldn't have been confident in confronting Elena. Although there was an unexpected turn of events, the outcome was ultimately positive.

A few memories are being replaced by that supreme will.

Like the tide, it slowly recedes.

……

"SC1317 is happy to serve you... Master..."

“Your name will be Diana, and my name will be Kafka. I’ll take you home.”

"SC1317 doesn't understand."

……

“Master… Mr. Kafka, you can use the magic doll downstairs, Diana doesn’t mind.”

"I mind, please stop talking. I'll figure out how to handle the money!"

……

“Diana, these demons need to be eliminated, so after I am banished, you should run away, run as far away as possible.”

"..." Diana was in deep hibernation at the moment, her program being tampered with by Kafka.

“I’ve always felt that you’re more human than those demons. You also have the right to live. It’s not worth dying for this kingdom, it really isn’t worth it.”

"If I could live again, I hope we could have met earlier."

"And let's not stay in this damn country."

……

No...no...no!!!

I can't lose these, I can't lose these...

Diana is going to break down.

Kafka...

I am not SC1317...

No… even if I die… I am not… I am Diana, Mr. Kafka’s Diana.

"Huh?" To Carola's somewhat confused look, Diana ripped out her core with her bare hands, then collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Elena was equally confused.

The timing of this was particularly sudden; Diana's self-destruction happened in the blink of an eye.

“Never mind—even if the core components are broken, most of it… ah—” Carola hadn’t finished speaking when she collapsed stiffly.

Behind her, a girl with unique peach blossom eyes stepped out, also holding a magic wand.

“Morissa?” Elena asked.

"I'm here," Morissa said somewhat apologetically. "Sorry, I just got here."

"Is this a good idea?" Elena asked.

“Not good. Haha, am I breaking the law?” Morissa scratched her head. “But it doesn’t matter. We magicians of the Garden of Demi-Europe only abide by the rules on the surface.”

"Your bottom line is really flexible."

“Just take this as a compliment. She doesn’t have much evidence, so I can just go back and argue with her for a while,” Morissa said. “Let’s not talk about that now. Here, take this magic ball. It’s a tool to remove the magic from Kafka’s body. I got it from my teacher.”

"what?"

"Oh no, I accidentally betrayed the teacher—oh no… I have to write a self-criticism again. As long as she doesn't know, I should…"

Kafka's problem is solved...

But Diana...

Afterwards, Elena and Jean used magic to disguise Kafka, who had been freed from his confinement spell, and Diana, who was completely paralyzed, and sent them abroad during the chaos.

Kafka is still unconscious, which shows that the pianist really went too far with that blow. Someone with a weaker constitution would probably have had their skull broken. Even now, they would probably suffer some kind of aftereffect.

"What about Diana, Jean?" Elena asked.

"do not know."

At this moment, a person carrying a sniper rifle, or rather a magical puppet, appeared out of nowhere.

Holberly.

It should be said that Qin knew she was coming.

“Put the magic crystal in, I’ll fix it,” Holberly said.

"Hmm? You mean this red stone?" Elena asked.

“You shouldn’t be heartbroken, right?” Holberly said.

"Yes, but you have to give me other compensation."

"Haa~~ I just went to get a bag of gold coins..."

"make a deal."

Although I feel that magic crystals are more precious, saving lives is the priority.

"Thank you both very much," Holberly said with a smile after treating Diana's injuries.

“I didn’t do anything,” Elena said, her role seemingly limited to deterrence.

He's the mascot of the law enforcement team.

Confronting Carol was also a way to deter her from making any rash moves. If it weren't for her, Carol would definitely have taken action if it were just Jean alone. Although Jean wouldn't be in serious trouble, it wouldn't be a good situation.

"What do you two think of the Garden of Beauty?" Holberly finally asked a question.

“It’s a country I could never come to, even if I wanted to.” Elena stuck out her tongue. “Guess who did it?”

"Hehe." Qin did not answer the question.
