The moment Aria uttered the word "transmigrator," my body reacted faster than my mind.

I tackled her, pinning her down, and used magic to bind her arms and legs. My left hand grabbed her shoulder while I pressed Eternal, held in a reverse grip, against her throat. The blade emitted a chilling blue glow as it touched her neck.

"It hurts, Mira. You could be a bit gentler, you know."

But Aria remained unperturbed. Despite feeling the cold steel of Eternal against her neck, she didn’t seem startled or even tense. Instead, she smiled at me as if everything were perfectly normal.

"...Who are you, really? And where did you hear that?"

"Oh, come on. Is it really that surprising? That someone else knows you, Priscilla, Rosaria, Laura, and Elissier are all transmigrators?"

She deliberately dropped the honorifics for Priscilla, Rosaria, and Laura and referred to Ciel by her original name, Elissier. This wasn’t a slip of the tongue—it was intentional and calculated.

"So, what do you think?"

I pressed Eternal more firmly against Aria’s throat, the blade digging into her windpipe.

"You seem quite shocked. Maybe you should calm down a bit, Mira. You’re going to hyperventilate at this rate."@@novelbin@@

"Answer the question. Stop deflecting."

"Like this?"
