"So this wasn't an accident, was it?"

No answer is needed, the answer is beyond doubt.

What they can be sure of now is that the consciousness currently residing in Yuuma Senduki's body is indeed Nagisa Akatsuki. This leads to a very critical question.

That is - whose consciousness is currently inside Nagisa Akatsuki's body?

According to Akane Nagisa herself, she accidentally fell asleep on the bed when Hanakaiin Fukui took Himeragi Setsuna to the bathroom to take a shower after they finished in the afternoon. When she woke up, she found herself in this hotel and her body had turned into that of Senduki Yuuma.

But you have to know that after giving Himeragi Setsuna a bath, Hanakaiin Fukui took Akane Nagisa into the bathroom again and gave a thorough "summary of the day".

If the consciousness in Akatsuki Nagisa's body at that time was someone else, then when Hanakaiin Bokuei took her into the bathroom to take a bath, she would have panicked and resisted with all her might.

But at that time, "Akatsuki Nagisa" did not show any resistance at all. Instead, she was extremely involved and even kept calling him "big brother".

Thinking about it this way, the consciousness in Nagisa Akatsuki's body at that time was most likely Yuuma Sentoki.

After all, she had witnessed with her own eyes the tone and habits of how Hanakaiin Fukui, Akatsuki Nagisa, and Himeragi Setsuna addressed each other when they were interacting normally.

So was all this planned?

"call……"

With a sigh of relief, Nangong Nayue finally came back to her senses from covering her face with her hands.

She raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her, pursing her lips slightly.

"The situation is urgent, so I'll keep it short. You might be confused by my description, but please remain silent and try to understand what I'm saying as best you can, assuming that everything I say is true."

"...Say it."

Huakaiyuan Fogui shrugged.

Anyway, ever since the passage between the human world and the demon world was opened half a century ago, people have become more and more accepting of all kinds of supernatural things. Even today, ordinary people will only be slightly surprised when encountering things like body swapping, and then actively seek solutions.

What's more, he is the agent of the Hanakaiin family.

"Then let me ask you a question first. Have you heard of the prison barrier?"

Nangong Nayue paused for a moment and continued speaking without waiting for the boy to answer.

"If you've heard of it, you should know that there's always more than one prison barrier. They're scattered across the world, specifically used to imprison powerful criminals. They're composed of witches' dreams, eternal prisons from which even the gods cannot escape. The witch who controls the prison barrier on Genshin Island... is me."

"Oh."

Huakaiyuan Fogui was quite calm.

Instead, it was Nangong Nayue who was stunned by him.

"You don't seem surprised at all?"

"Well, because I know."

The flowers bloom in the courtyard and the Buddha spreads his hands.

"Yuuma mentioned this to me when we met before, and it's similar to what you described, Nangong Nayue."

"I see... But that's only natural."

Nangong Nayue let out a soft sigh.

"Sendumu Aya, I don't know if you've heard of this name. She's a witch like me. I'm the 'Witch of the Gap,' and she's the 'Witch of the Secretary.' Ten years ago, she was imprisoned and enchanted for attempting to launch a terrorist attack, and she hasn't escaped since. But now it seems that Sendumu Yuuma is her backup."

"So, in short, that Xiandu Mu Aye wants to escape from prison?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui let out a cry of "Oh".

"As for having Yuuma and Nagisa swap bodies...was it to seize the True Ancestor's power and increase the chances of a successful prison break?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, that's it."

The Gothic girl nodded slightly and sighed helplessly.

Hua Kaiyuan Fogui groaned, "So I have another question. I remember Yuma said that the administrator of the prison barrier would be sleeping inside it, but Nangong Nayue, you..."

"There's no doubt she's right."

Nangong Nayue's eyebrows drooped slightly.

"My body is currently in the center of the prison barrier on Genshin Island. As for the me you see now... you can consider it my thought form. Anyway, now that they have begun to act, they will definitely not allow my thought form to wander around outside. I must return my consciousness to the prison barrier to prevent any accidents..."

"Oh, there's one more thing I forgot to mention."

As the words fell, the Gothic girl's figure suddenly swayed, as if the projector light was blocked by an obstacle, and even the sound became a little intermittent.

This made Nangong Nayue frown slightly.

"It's already started... Well, let me just say it straight out. The True Ancestor's power is so immense that no human can possibly withstand it, not even a witch with a demonic contract. That Sentoki Yuuma most likely used spatial transfer magic to swap her senses with Akatsuki Nagisa's. In other words, their souls are still within their bodies, and the signal connections from their senses to their brains have simply been temporarily switched."

"As long as Yuma's magic is lifted..."

"Yes, they will be switched back immediately."

The gothic girl nodded, and her figure became more and more illusory.

"Well, as for what happens next... I'll leave it to you..."

As the last word fell, Nangong Nayue's figure completely disappeared.

At this moment, Huakaiyuan Fogui suddenly felt a familiar force spreading in the air.

"This is……"

This was the same spatial magic fluctuation that was transmitted from Asagi's house to here last night, except that it covered a wider area and was more chaotic than before, almost to the extent of disrupting the space of the entire city.

Is this a plan to completely dislocate the space of the entire Genshin Island to avoid being tracked by the Special Guard?

But this level of skill is of no use to him.

Thinking of this, Hanakaiin Fukui stood up from the sofa, raised his hand and gently rubbed the head of Akatsuki Nagisa who was currently in the body of Senduki Yuuma.

"Then Nagisa, just wait here for a while. I'll be back soon."

"Well, come on, big brother!"

Nagisa Akatsuki tilted her head and smiled, then clenched her fists and made a cheering gesture.

Huakaiyuan Fogui also smiled, and the next second he disappeared from the spot.

……

The scene changed, and when Huakaiyuan Fogui appeared again, he was already on a dock shrouded in thick fog.

As luck would have it, it was exactly the pier where they had rented a speedboat before. However, it seemed that because of the nightfall and for some reason none of the street lights were on tonight, the entire pier was pitch black, with only a little cold moonlight penetrating the thick fog and falling on the asphalt road.

Of course, the figure of the girl standing at the end of the pier in front was also reflected.

"Are you here yet? Buddha..."

Sensing the footsteps behind her, the girl standing at the end of the pier turned around.

That was Yuuma Sentoki, who had swapped bodies with Nagisa Akatsuki. She took off the cute pleated skirt that Nagisa Akatsuki usually wore and put on jeans and a shirt that she was more accustomed to wearing. She smiled as she looked at the boy walking towards her step by step from behind.

"I didn't expect that we could meet again in the end. This way I won't have any regrets."

Chapter 376: Rounding Off to Count as Husband and Wife

"Regret? Yuuma, what are you talking about?"

On the pier, Hanakaiin Fukui walked step by step towards "Akatsuki Nagisa" at the end of the pier.

The fog tonight seemed particularly thick, as if it had risen from the bottom of the sea. When the moonlight shone down, there was no shimmering dark sea surface, only the surging thick fog that was seen steaming from the sea and infecting the road surface.

"Ah~ It's already this late, Fogui, there's no need for you to act stupid all of a sudden, right?"

Sendumi Yuuma turned around and smiled.

"I'm using Ms. Nagisa's body now, but you can tell it's me at a glance, which means you must have known my plan, right?"

"of course."

Huakaiyuan Fogui continued to speak as he walked forward without stopping.

"I know that the person in Nagisa's body now is you, Yuuma, and I also know that you did this to free the person named Sentomu Aya from the prison barrier... But I don't understand how these things have anything to do with your so-called 'regret'?"

"..."

Without answering immediately, Xiandumu Yuma fell into a brief silence.

This is not just making small talk, Huakaiyuan Fogui really can't understand it.

After all, to be honest, Yuma's behavior now is like helping a serious criminal escape from prison.

Although it is true that helping to escape from prison does involve risking one's life in the common sense, seeing one's friends for the last time before the operation can indeed be considered as a way to make up for one's regrets.

But don't forget that now Yuuma Sentoki has taken over Nagisa Akatsuki's body and can use the power of the fourth true progenitor, the most powerful vampire in the world.

Isn't this the same as using a Transformer to escape from prison?

It's something that's basically a sure thing, so why talk about regrets?

This is something that Hanakaiin Fukui cannot understand at all.

“…Is this what you care about, Buddha?”

Xiandumu Yuma sighed softly, a helpless yet somewhat relieved smile on his face.

Sure enough, he still treated her as a friend as before. Even after knowing almost everything, he did not question why she did this. Instead, he was concerned about why she had regrets.

Hua Kaiyuan Fogui shrugged. "Well, I told you your plan long ago. Nangong Nayue had already told me about it, and I know most of the details... Oh, there's one thing I still don't understand. Who is that Xiandu Mu Aye to you, Yuma? Is she your half-sister?"

"Hmm~ How should I put it?"

Xiandumu Yuma nodded his mouth and thought about it seriously.

"The answer isn't difficult, but it's a little complicated. If we talk about seniority, she should be considered my 'mother'."

Is this another plot about saving the mother in prison? Where did the agarwood come from?

Huakaiyuan Fogui complained in his heart.

However, his thoughts were not conveyed to Senduki Yuuma in the distance, and the short-haired girl continued.

"But objectively speaking, I am actually her, because I am the 'copy' created by Xiandumu Aya using herself as a template. It is also the backup plan she left for herself to regain her freedom after being imprisoned in the prison barrier."

"...So you are now ready to help her escape from prison?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui looked around.

"But I don't see any prisons around here. Does it require some special means to open?"

"of course."

Xiandumu Yuma smiled slightly.

"But there's no rush to talk about that now. Besides, didn't you ask me before you went to Fogui why I said 'this way there will be no regrets'?"

"That's because... I don't know what I will become after completing my mission. I was born to help Xiandu Mu Aye regain her freedom. For me, this is the only goal in my life. As for what my fate will be after she regains her freedom, I have never thought about it."

The short-haired girl paused here.

"And there's another most important reason, which perhaps you don't know yet, Fogui. That is, all witches' powers are obtained after they sign a contract with a higher-level demon. This allows them to gain enough strength to slay powerful demons in their mortal bodies, but there is also a price to pay for this."

"Take the Gap Witch, for example. The chains she wields are powerful enough to trap and kill high-ranking demons. They can be described as 'chains forged by the gods.' The price she must pay is eternal sleep within that prison barrier."

"You gain power at the cost of a price. The day you pay the price is the day your life ends. This is the fate of a witch."

"I guess the same thing."

She's probably the same...

When he said this, a flash of sadness appeared on Xiandu Muyouma's face, like snowflakes falling from the sky on a winter night, melting into water the moment they touched his palm.

"But I don't have any regrets now."

Xiandumu Yuma raised his head and smiled again.

"Remember last night's 'girlfriend experience'? For me, I've made up for all my regrets, whether it was my first kiss or my first hug... um, no, the first hug is something exclusive to vampires. It should be called the first hug, including the first time..."

When she said this, the short-haired girl couldn't help but blush slightly.

She still remembered everything that happened in the bathroom this evening. Although she was using Nagisa Akatsuki's body at the time, the consciousness in the body was hers.

To round it off, we are now a couple, and we have checked off all the items on the "Girlfriend Experience Card" one by one.

As for dates, we did go out together when we were kids, although most of the time there was another girl with twintails present.
