However, Cendrillon chanted some kind of spell before Birdway could activate an attack spell.
“…Total control on Red 25…”
“There we go. The result is Black 11. Authorization complete.”
A dry sound burst from within Cendrillon’s body. The color of her eyes clearly changed. Traces of someone other than herself could be seen there.
And…
“Okay, Cendrillon-chan. Time to truly protect Gremlin’s information.”
Cendrillon grinned.
She then pulled a sharp piece of the wand from her mouth and forcefully stabbed the end into her own temple.
“Eh…?” said a voice.
The voice came from Cendrillon’s mouth.
With a shocked look on her face, she collapsed to the side. Her reaction was simply too little. She did not brace herself at all as she landed. Her arms, legs, and hair were sprawled out and her red blood spread out in a pool.
That was all.
No more words came from her mouth. Not from Cendrillon and not from the person controlling her.
“Damn. I doubt that made it through her skull, but a fragment of bone must have stabbed into her brain. It must have caused a subarachnoid hemorrhage. I see. This will indeed make getting information more difficult.”
“…”
“Don’t look at me like that. I’m merciful enough to call an ambulance for her.”
“What do we do now? I thought she was our last hope.”
“Oh, we still caught a fish,” said Birdway, sounding bored and looking around. “Gremlin contacted us to silence her. Now we just have to reel them in.”
