You want us to exchange Naruse Mio for that man?
You should have seen it for yourself.
The tremendous power this Toujou Basara possesses.
I don't think it's a bad deal.
I don't know what you think this is...
You can't decide while your master is out?
Marquis Zolgia was supposed to leave for the royal castle...
on His Majesty Leohart's orders, after all.
Are you the one who recommended His Excellency Zolgia to His Majesty?
Should I have also reported...
the fact that Naruse Mio was kidnapped to this refuge?
It goes without saying,
but this is a clear act of betrayal against His Majesty and the Council.
Are you threatening us, Lars?
I'm merely fulfilling my duties as Naruse Mio's observer.
You should do your duty to protect the marquis you respect.
I suppose it can't be helped.
Wise decision.
I'm grateful for your warning.
Zest!
If you kill me...
Don't worry.
By the time your death reaches His Majesty's ears,
His Excellency Zolgia will have obtained both their powers...
and seized the highest standing in the demon world.
Pardon me, Your Excellency.
A matter requiring your attention has arisen.

Plaintive Betrayal
I'm sorry, Mio-sama. I...
I'm glad you came, succubus girl.
Where's my mother?
Don't worry.
Mother!
Will you follow my orders and betray Naruse Mio and Toujou Basara?
Yes.
I am yours... to command.
Basara-san?!
There's a slight change in plans.
These are orders from His Excellency Zolgia:
Subdue him and dominate his mind.
It shouldn't be that difficult for a succubus like you, right?
Mio!
I can sense her.
There's no mistake.
Mio's in this building.
So this really is...
Yes.
Maria?
This is Zolgia-sama's mansion.
Wh-What are you doing?!
There's nothing you can do anymore, Basara-san.
Let's at least enjoy our end.
I heard from Takigawa.
It might be difficult for you to rescue your mother on your own.
But we're here with you now, right?
Let's save Mio and-
If he were not such a formidable opponent,
I wouldn't have betrayed you and Mio-sama.
But now that he's captured Mio,
he no longer needs you or his hostage. Eventually-
I know that!
But right now, this is all I can do!
I have to obey their orders and dominate your mind.
Maria...
I'll do whatever it takes to dominate your mind!
Even if I have to use my trump card.
A key?
Is that you, Maria?
Yes.
When Mio-sama was first attacked,
it was because of this power that I was able to escape with her.
Now, Basara-san, please savour the real taste of a succubus' baptism.
I'll find some way to pin down the enemy's base.
Then I'll go with you.
No. I don't know if it'll go well yet,
but I have a plan.
A plan?
That's too dangerous, Basara!
That's the only way we have right now.
Basara, stay safe.
Now, Basara-san...
You can have your way with me.
You really are forceful at heart, Basara-san.
Basara-san...
Basara-san...!
I should've let you have me earlier.
Then this wouldn't have had to be our first and last time doing this together.
But I'll grow tainted together with you.
I'm sorry.
Maria!
If you really mean that I can have my way with you...
Then I'll save you.
You took my baptism head on, and yet...
No way.
You plan to resort to force?
Fine.
What are you trying to do?
You don't actually think you can beat me without your weapon, do you?
No, I don't believe for a moment that I could beat you bare-handed.
I came here to save you.
You're still worrying about me now?
However...
If you hold back like that against me now,
you'll die!
It's futile.
I'll say it once again.
Basara-san, there's nothing you can do anymore.
Basara?!
That's...
I see, so that's...
What an incredible increase in her combat abilities.
Even if it's only temporary,
I can understand how she repelled Zolgia-sama.
However...
It should be easy for her to seduce and dominate his mind,
so why go that far?
If she goes too far and renders him useless to us, it would defeat the point.
I'll have to do this myself.
How did you get here?!
His Excellency's barrier is gone?!
You don't mean?!
Using that elimination skill?!
You underestimated Basara.
The moment Mio was kidnapped,
I lost the ability to track her position.
Their barrier is able to interfere with the effects of our Master-Servant pact.
So we'll use that to our advantage.
"Use that to our advantage"?
Once I'm inside the enemy's base,
my presence should disappear.
I'll nullify the barrier from inside.
That is what has led to your defeat.
You are quite skilled,
but you are no threat.
This mansion is in a dimension near the demon realm.
You heroes cannot receive the protection of the human realm's spirits here.
Naruse Mio?!
Mio!
Thanks.
You couldn't have come here all alone, right?
Where's Basara?
Most likely with Maria.
Her family is being held hostage.
I see...
I knew they were forcing her to obey them.
I won't let you escape.
As if I'd run.
I still need to repay you.
On her behalf, as well!
This finishes it!
So that's all you have?
Don't gawk. Do it now!
Please Sakuya, lend me a bit of your power!
Get back!
Did we get her?
No.
Huh?
It didn't feel as though I cut her.
It's over.
Trying not to injure one of them is more trouble than I thought.
Too bad, Naruse Mio.
Right now, Toujou Basara is trying to save Maria, not you.
How does it feel?
Knowing that your precious partner favours your betrayer over you?
You're right. It's not a very pleasant feeling.
But it can't be helped.
He forgave me and Maria, and protected us both.
Putting his life on the line.
I'm sure he's trying to save Maria...
because she was there when he opened his eyes.
That's quite the convenient interpretation.
The fact that I'm here is proof.
Unfortunately for you,
our relationship isn't the same as the one between you and Zolgia.
What do you mean?
You always seem to be forcing yourself a bit when you're in front of that man.
You're envious, aren't you?
Of the relationship we share with Basara.
You're quite full of yourself.
However, you seemed awfully shaken up when you saw your friend...
rendezvous with Toujou Basara.
That was-
Was that Maria's attack?!
No way...
Wh-Why?
You shouldn't be able to move!
Do you want to die, Basara-san?!
Of course I don't!
But I have to endure it.
Because there are things worse than death.
Maria, I can't imagine that all the time we spent together was a lie.
This room is most likely being watched by Zest...
If I do anything strange, my mother will...
Maria...
There were times when having you around...
brought smiles to our faces or helped save us.
So...
Now it's our turn to save you.
That's right.
So I don't lose anything precious to me again.
I'm going to save you.
I'm going to save everyone.
So you...
can't give up either!
Sorry for letting you suffer alone up until now.
Leave the rest to your big brother.
Hey, Yuki...
Did you decide on your own to come to get me?
No way.
I had no choice because Basara ordered me to.
I knew I was right.
It looks like we won't be able to make her cooperate or talk to us.
Then it's dangerous to leave her alive.
Is there anything else we can do?
Let's hurry to Basara as fast as we can!
M-M-My body...
No way!
It appears you got awfully violent while I was away.
Zolgia!
Oh? You can talk this time?
It would seem having your comrades is reassuring for you.
Hm, a hero girl?
The real thing is an even more wonderful specimen.
That wave of his aura is fearsome!
I'll make you mine as well.
Along with exquisite pleasure that brat Toujou could never give you.
I would never let you!
Well, soon you'll come to desire it yourself, the same as Naruse Mio.
Now...
Are you all right, Zest?
Your Excellency...
My apologies.
I don't mind.
It only means I've earned new toys.
Yes.
Yuki!
Zolgia-sama?
Oh, sorry.
Are you all right?
I'll heal you up later.
I'll treat every inch of your body perfectly.
If you can't even guard my prey, you're trash.
But, Your Excellency, I-
You envied those girls, didn't you?
Wishing your master were that young man instead.
Your thoughts always reach me.
Have you forgotten who it was that made you?
Subordinates who do not stay loyal must die.
B-But!
Banishing Shift!
My spell was eliminated?!
Basara!
Brat, that was a good attack.
However...
You're impressive for nullifying my barrier and my curse of instant death.
What happened to Maria?
Nothing that matters to you.
Hmph.
Her current power held one of the few chances of defeating me.
Naïve.
Be careful, Basara!
He uses weird magic!
Huh?
It's futile.
No one can escape from my mental bondage.
You!
Now to have a peek at what kind of power you possess,
just as I did with Naruse Mio's.
