The sky was covered in shapes of white and black while a red hue enveloped it.

The battle between angels, demons, and humans continued on even after I fell.


I wonder where Brand is right now?

Never mind. I don't really care.

He has a harem with him.

He doesn't really need me...


He never needed me.


Besides, I'm tired of flying.

And I'm tired of following his orders.

In the end, I couldn't get rid of this stupid collar on my neck.


Thump. Thump.


I heard footsteps coming from above me, but I couldn't even turn my head. 

I think I broke my neck when I fell from the sky.

How did I fell again?

Why am I still alive?


"Sevianna Louscatt..."


It was a masculine voice, filled with loneliness and helplessness.

I think his name was Herald? The supposed "bastard" child of the demon king.


"You and I are the same..."


I wonder what he's talking about?


"...We're both miserable ha!"


Ahh.

I couldn't disagree.


"I hope you forgive me for stabbing you. You looked like you really wanted to die."


I see! So it was you.

Sorry, I can't even say thank you to you.


boom...


There was a muffled explosion in the sky.

It looks like the demon prince just blasted Brand into the horizon.


"Haha, he looks really cool."


He does doesn't he?

I should thank him too—

Oh right, I can't...


Fuck.


Is this really it?


Am I really going to die with a slaver collar on?

Is Brand just going to get away with everything that he did to me?

Will this world continue to despise me?


The more I questioned, the more my blood boiled.


I'm unwilling...


It can't possibly just end here!


I tried to move, but as my body twitched, blood gushed out from my stomach.

I suddenly realized why I was still alive.


My angelic blood was trying to heal me.


But it's not enough.


I want to stand...


I want to punch Brand!


I want to get this collar off me neck!


'Hi, there~ Do you have wishes, hopes or dreams?'


Wh- what?

I struggled to open my eyes and I saw a fluffy white bunny wearing a pink dress and a purple blazer.

I was dumbfounded.


'Or maybe you have regrets, grudges, or resentments?'


It cutely waved its paws around like it was trying to gesture the surrounding battle.


'As long as you agree to our condition,' it gave a wide smile that looked genuine, 'we will make it happen!'


!!!


Hey, can you hear me?

'Yes!'

Is what you're saying true?

'Totally! Based on my current record we have fulfilled 89,569,269 wishes!'


That's a huge number.

Are you really not trying to deceive me?

'Nope~'

And I'm supposed to just take your word?

'Yup~'

...


Hahaha!


Very well!


What's the condition?

'In exchange for three wishes, you will give us your physical form.'

Oh, that's it?

What happens to me?

'You'll be with us until the wishes are fulfilled!'


Good!

I get to see Brand's face when my collar is removed!


Alright, I'll accept.
