"Eu's problem with magic can be solved."
Looking at the girl beside him, Nakano Yu suddenly spoke. His voice was calm, but the words he uttered brought a pleasant surprise.
When she heard them, Eu's breathing visibly quickened, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"I know Eu is excited, but don't rush to conclusions. This method will make Eu's magic remain at a constant level forever and there will no longer be any uncontrolled outbursts, but Eu's power will definitely be greatly reduced, and she will no longer be able to increase her magical power on her own."
Seeing that Eu had already become impatient, Nakano Yu did not immediately use the Sin of Gluttony on her. Instead, he first explained the consequences that the Sin of Gluttony would bring.
Using the Sin of Gluttony to solve Eu's magic problem was actually not the best solution.
The reason Eu's magic ran wild was that her enormous amount of magical power exceeded her ability to control it. If the Wing Contract were used to solve that problem, it would greatly strengthen Eu's body and control ability, preventing her original magic from getting out of control.
There was a simple way to explain it: if Eu's magic was considered water, then Eu's control could be considered a bucket.
The reason Eu's magic had previously spiraled out of control was that her magic and control were not balanced, causing the magic to overflow.
The Wing Contract was like enlarging the bucket, in other words increasing Eu's control, so the problem of her rebellious magic would naturally be resolved.
But the Sin of Gluttony was a different method. If the Wing Contract could be compared to expanding the bucket, then the Sin of Gluttony was like adding another "bucket" alongside the existing one to hold the excess magic.
Although both methods could solve Eu's magic problem, their essence was completely different. The Wing Contract improved Eu's abilities and gave her the capacity to control her magic. The Sin of Gluttony, on the other hand, seized the magic that Eu could not control and used it for itself.
Nakano Yu believed that he had to explain this clearly to Eu beforehand.
Even though he knew Eu did not want that wild magic, it was still her own power, so he felt he should tell her before removing it.
"Mhm!"
Hearing that, Eu nodded vigorously and even let out a soft sound, her eyes filled with endless anticipation and relief.
She already had enormous trust in Nakano Yu.
If she had never met Yu, she would probably still be fleeing everywhere under the pursuit of countless organizations and the status of a wanted person, enduring a life of loneliness and endless solitude.
Besides, what did she even possess that Nakano Yu could possibly want?
That armor which, in front of him, was worth no more than scrap metal? Or her disastrous magic?
Eu did not know. In any case, whoever wanted that magic could take it. Moreover, if that magic ended up belonging to Nakano Yu, she felt completely at ease.
"Then come with me to your room."
Seeing Eu's reaction, Nakano Yu knew that the girl was ready. He stood up and prepared to lead Eu upstairs.
The girl did not hesitate either and immediately stood up and followed him.
But just as the two of them, one behind the other, started climbing the stairs, another figure followed after them.
Sensing that something was wrong, Nakano Yu turned around and met Ikaros's beautiful emerald eyes.
"Master."
Seeing that Nakano Yu was looking at her, Ikaros quickly lowered her head and addressed him softly.
"Ikaros, wait here for a little while. I have something to finish, and I'll be back soon."
Seeing Ikaros in such a state, Nakano Yu walked over, gently patted her on the head, and spoke in a voice full of tenderness.
"Yes, Master."
Ikaros answered obediently, just as though she truly were the Universal Entertainment Angel.
After contentedly rubbing Ikaros's tuft of hair, Nakano Yu led Eu back to her room.
Eu's room had been arranged by Nino. It was very clean, unlike Ichika's messy room, but nowhere near as luxuriously decorated as Nino's room, which gave off the impression of a princess at every turn.
Eu's room was extremely simple: a bed, a bookshelf, a desk, and nothing more.
Her room truly served only as a place to sleep. There was no computer or any other equipment for work, making it seem rather empty.
After they entered the room, Eu's face remained calm, but her delicate white fists were already tightly clenched, clearly revealing just how nervous she was.
"Eu, relax. It'll hurt a little at first, but it'll become pleasant very quickly."
Nakano Yu immediately noticed her nervousness and gently tried to reassure her. As he spoke, he placed his hands on her shoulders, bringing the two of them closer together.
Feeling the young man's presence, Eu could only feel her heart beating rapidly, her thoughts slowing down, and an emotion she herself could not understand rising within her chest.
At that moment, Eu suddenly felt a slight pain between her eyebrows, and then the hands resting on her shoulders withdrew.
"It's over, Eu. Try speaking now."
Straightening up, Nakano Yu looked at the bewildered girl, and anticipation could be heard in his voice.
"I... it's gone, that magic... it's gone!"
Hearing this, Eu jolted and looked at his face. As if realizing something, she slightly parted her lips and tried to speak.
Although she trusted Nakano Yu completely, just to be safe she still did not dare show too much emotion or say too many words. After quietly speaking only a few sentences, she clearly felt that her mind was incredibly clear and entirely free from the intense pain that the magic had caused.
At that moment, she felt completely relieved. She knew that the magic which had weighed her down for so long, that lonely curse, had finally disappeared from her body.
Feeling the lightness in her body, Eu felt warmth gather in her eyes, followed by a mist that swirled and finally turned into silver tears that rolled down her cheeks.
"Thank you, Yu. I am... truly grateful!"
Tears hung from her pale cheeks, her voice trembled, yet there was not the slightest trace of sadness within it. On the contrary, a smile appeared on her face, a joy that came from the very depths of her heart.
Because of the wild magic within her body, Eu could no longer remember how long it had been since she had sincerely shown her emotions like this. Decades? Or... centuries?
Eu could no longer remember, but... the feeling of no longer having to remain constantly cautious was truly wonderful!
"That was something I promised Eu a long time ago. And the excess magic Eu had is now stored with me. We both benefited from this, so there's no need to thank me."
Nakano Yu reached out and gently patted Eu on the head. He did not know whether it was because she no longer had magic, but he felt that patting her head was now even more pleasant. Her hair was not only smooth but also soft and fragrant.
Indeed, he still liked Eu very much. Not only was she petite and adorable, but she was also incredibly gentle.
No, no, no, something wasn't right. Wasn't he usually the type who liked girls with large breasts?! How could he think something like this? What a sin, what a sin!
Thinking about it, Nakano Yu quickly stopped his train of thought.
In any case, Eu's problem had now been resolved. After this, he would leave the matter of the Underworld organizations pursuing her to the Moon Messenger, and Eu would finally be able to live a peaceful life.
However... Eu's problem had been solved, but now there was still the silent angel, Ikaros.
The Queen of the Skies... which room should Ikaros be placed in? Perhaps the room next to Eu's? With her quiet nature, it would be perfect, unlike Yotsuba, who was far too lively and might disturb others while they were resting.
