Translation Note: FYI, When Tio talks, the MTL translate it that she refers the Hajime as "Husband" and herself as his "concubine" or "whore" I’ve been changing it to "Master" and "Mistress" because I think it fits the S&M theme a little better as well as the other translations

"Divine Flaed with cruelty

Shortly after, the function of the annihilation an to pulsate with a Dukan sound Blue light spread around the underground space and began to swell froered by a drop of water, there seemed to be an ominous quite that was devoid of ht did not offer even the slightest resistance, ht of this divine flame, the boss cockroach ran like a scared rabbit, a screa blue that ballooned away from Yue before the boss cockroach unceremoniously disappeared without another sound

Without the boss cockroach, the sht by Shia and Kouki’s group became confused at the loss of leadership, and becaht continued to spread, it sed the cockroaches around Shia as well

As the flame spread out, Kouki and the others watched it approach with anxious looks

It wasn’t unreasonable for them to feel rushed They were able to see the destruction in front of them

The reason was clear Kouki, Shia, and the others weren’t sure whether the flame that destroyed the cockroaches so completely would hurt them as well However, it was not sie tree trunk and branches reave Hajime and Yue surprised looks when they realized that the flaround space and completely devastated the cockroaches only affected those cockroaches

–Divine Flaic which shot "blue flames" rapidly 10 tiic Yue further specified the ic, so that it avoided those whoo to heaven)

Anyone Yue permits survives while it seeks out those she sets as an enemy

That is, indeed, suitable to be called art It wouldn’t be unreasonable to say that a god naic… Indeed expected froht of the flao out, the voices of the two of theround space

Indeed Yue showed so in reward for her hard work Yue wrapped her arms around Hajiainst him And just like that, she kissed his neck, followed by the sound of sucking as she bit and lapped up his blood

"When saying it like that, I wonder on this match"

While Yue stuck to the scruff of Hajime’s neck and drank his blood, he held her with one ar her hair with the other And so he was reame the pair of them had started

"… Nn, haa… Nn My win Hajiree"

Yue separates from Haji as always as she licked her lips

"Yue, I must ask, does it really matter hoon or lost, does it uess we can put that aside for now"

As the pair of thes ‘just in case’, there ca to flirt forever, or can you rejoin the rest of us!"

"Yes! Yue is cheating! Hajime-kun and I are… anyway, please return!"

It was Shia and Kaori They were beckoning us to return right alongside Kouki and the rest Tioto take their feelings into account and had been waiting Kouki and the others looked a bit uncomfortable, Suzu and Shizuku had their eyes lowered and blushes on their cheeks It looked like they had been watching Yue and Hajime from a distance

Fros had returned to normal as well Hajime didn’t know if they had returned under their oer or if it was the result of the boss cockroach dying

The pair stared at each other and gave another light kiss before returned to a place beside Shia

"You kissed so casually at the end…"

"I’h I felt like… "not only you!" or "me too!" but I don’t want to sound selfish…"

"Indeed, as expected of Yue and Haji him around like a toy, it wasn’t as pitiful as expected" (Translation Note: I think this is Tio clai kicked around by Hajime, lol)

There were three people which came aith three different responses, but it was Shia’s words that had the biggest i Yue She doesn’t seem to mind at all However, Kouki and company wore mixed expressions over his nerve

"… Did you recover your feelings on your own?"

"You could say I return on the way, yes…"

"Would, um May I ask that you had returned to normal without help?"

Kaori looks doubtful about Yue’s question to Shia Tio adds the explanation while forcing a smile

"You may say that I also returned without help I assuer was jealousy over the war declaration between master and Yue? This mistress was envious of their fervent love However, soon they did not even bother with the cockroaches, just each other… Was that the same for Shia and Kaori as well?"

"Yes, it was…"

"Yup…"

So it was that sort of thing Haji

"……" X3

"Well, -how is it? The last cockroach to die was back to being unpleasant"

Shizuku appeared to be the only one to recover on her own It was expected of Shizuku given her th Kouki and the others e as they had to watch their lovable cockroaches die all the way to the very end

A bit later, Shia was asking Yue about the e tree near the ceiling started shining While helping Kouki’s party recover froes, Hajiiant branch which began to gro

The branch created a new aisle as its length increase little by little Hajime and the others remained in the four point aisle from the start of the cockroach attack until the fifth branch joined up to their intersection The branch aisle had co, so it took the form of a stairhich led them up the branch to the heavens

After a brief look at each other, Hajime and the rest hurried to follow the newly forhtly Yue wouldn’t let go and Hajime didn’t try to separate That was fine, afterall However, Kaori also pulled froht Meanwhile, Tio clung fro that Kouki and company watched this with indescribable expressions

When they finished cli the fifth branch aisle, they entered another cave-like rooic circle glowed and they found theht settled, they could see that they were in a garden that spread out right in front of thely close

The air seeh school gymnasium There were trees which were relatively s which had various ays spreading out froest tree, which sat in a sraph sitting at its base

Tio walked into the garden, peeping over the edge

"What do you think, lance towards the bottoarden after Tio’s word too It’s a vast sea of clouds and an un spread out under their eyes

"Hey, this is strange When we flew over the sea of trees, we had crossed the dense woodland and saw no tree this big No tree could crest the thick fog, this height must be up over 200froh" (Translation Note: To put that in perspective, the largest skyscrapers are around 450 h On the other hand, the world’s tallest tree is only ~116it After all, the upper part sticking out fro the size of the tree as seen fro across the dense woodland

Nevertheless, you would think that the large trees size would have been verifiable before now

"… I see It is concealingthis?"

"… It is, like soic… or is it just shifting space?"

Yue considered the ic, there should be soe If this were like spiritic of the soul However, they weren’t aware of any disco Yue’s skill

Hajih they had experienced a nued to keep the nastiness to a h ordinarily, the liberators did not seeoal here?" Hajime muttered

This caused Kouki and the others to where startled expressions "Here… Finally…"

Hajiroup crossed a pretty arch and entered a yen-like slow as they approached, the bright green ic circle? Phosphorescence like fireflies raised flickeringly

The sense to probe a e by force Hajiroaned as some one else behind him was "struck" with shock and a sense of discoan to entangle around the lithograph and swell

Hajile The shape of the tree began to change, tearing away branches as it for into the ie of a person’s face in the middle of the trunk It takes on a female appearance from the shoulders up

The person’s forently

"First of all, I’d like to say congratulations You’ve defeated several of the great labyrinths I am Luluo Haltina, and I prepared the Haltina (Sea of Trees) Great Labyrinth I apologize for the very difficult trials I prepared with the ard"

She see This was the fornified like she h so may come from the tree stem itself, which split around her like hair, and contained a certain kind of beauty

"However, it is also necessary If you caeons of the other liberators, then you know about our relationship with the gods, the past tragedy, and what’s happening right now Therefore, I wanted you the learn so bond that can’t be swayed, a heart that can’t be shaken I think you who arrived here surely understand soth of the heart as well as its weaknesses I’ sincerely that that is of assistance to you in the future"

Shia listened to Luluo Haltina’s talk with a meek face But Hajime was already impatient He didn’t need pretentious excuses For once, however, he quietly read the air

"I do not know for what purpose you sought ic, you are free to use it as you see fit However, stick to your bonds, and do not drown in power"
