Now that the two missing girls had been found, Asakura's mission was perfectly concluded... or was it?
Actually, it wasn't.
Indeed, Asakura could now take the two girls and leave this dessert cavern to return to the real world.
To illustrate his method of invading this place earlier with something simpler and more intuitive, it was like having a large wooden basin full of water, with a fish tank also full of water placed inside it.
At that time, Asakura, as a drop of water in the large wooden basin, was indistinguishable from the surrounding water and could not pass through the glass of the fish tank to enter it.
So he used Scale as a cup to scoop himself out of the wooden basin, then threw himself and the cup into the fish tank. Finally, he selected the cup and pressed the DEL key to delete it, and the water in the cup naturally entered the fish tank and merged with the water already there.
At this moment, Asakura could still follow the same pattern, using the Scale Magic to cut the three of them out of this space and return to the real world.
But here's the problem: in this situation, even if they escaped back to the real world, would everything truly be fine?
Well, for Asakura and Yukino Yukinoshita, it would be.
But Yui Yuigahama, as the main subject of this anomaly, probably wouldn't be so lucky.
Even if she returned to the real world, after a day or two, when her Magic was full again, with just an inadvertent glance back or a casual moment of absentmindedness, when she came to her senses, she would find herself once again in this cavern space. This bizarre existence would cling to her like a persistent illness.
Given this, what needed to be done was very clear.
Asakura cut his finger with the Scale blade and forcibly shoved it into Yui Yuigahama's mouth.
The presence of a foreign object caused a strong resistance in the girl's private place, which had never been invaded. Although she hadn't eaten or drunk for three days, saliva still formed in her mouth, the soft flesh in her oral cavity tightly wrapped around Asakura's finger, and her soft cherry lips gently whimpered, causing the girl to let out a faint moan.
But a moment later, when the salty blood seeped from Asakura's fingertip and was sucked into the girl's mouth, her brain's craving for water, as she was on the verge of dehydration, made the girl give up resistance, instinctively licking and sucking Asakura's finger like a baby.
For a moment, Asakura had the illusion of feeling 'ah, my body feels hollowed out.'
Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly. Almost as soon as the girl swallowed his blood, that familiar warm current flowed through his finger and into his body.
Sure enough, though he didn't know why, Yui Yuigahama also had Magic within her, though this Magic was much weaker compared to Gokou Ruri.
Back then, Gokou Ruri only licked his wound and brought Asakura about five hundred units of Magic. This time, Yui Yuigahama was sucking and licking, but the total amount of Magic was barely fifty or sixty units, nearly ten times less.
Asakura looked at the surrounding scenery with anticipation, but found that the dessert cavern space did not collapse and disappear as he had expected.
After he absorbed most of the Magic from Yui Yuigahama's body, this space, having lost its Magic source, should have evaporated and shattered like rootless water. Why was it still present?
— Unless Yui Yuigahama wasn't the creator of this space.
But then it wouldn't make sense. It couldn't possibly be Yukino Yukinoshita, who only went missing yesterday, who was the real culprit, could it?
Thinking this, Asakura was startled.
Right, why couldn't Yukino Yukinoshita be the culprit?
Because of his preconceived notions about 'heroines' from before he transmigrated, he would subconsciously assume that a positive character like Yukino Yukinoshita wouldn't have problems. But now this world was clearly not right, so wouldn't it be normal for her to be the creator of this space?
Most importantly, Yui Yuigahama's Magic was simply too little; it didn't seem like she could weave such a grand Magic that could erode reality.
Thinking this, Asakura pulled his finger out of the girl's mouth with a crisp 'pop' sound.
He roughly wiped the girl's saliva off his finger on Yui Yuigahama's body, then looked at his somewhat pale fingertip from being sucked; there was hardly any blood left at the wound.
Asakura sighed helplessly, then used the Scale blade to enlarge the wound a bit before stuffing it into Yukino Yukinoshita's mouth.
It seemed he would have to treat it well with Essence of Dittany later.
Yukino's reaction was similar to Yui Yuigahama's: she frowned at first, then instinctively began to suck.
Asakura looked at the girl expectantly.
But aside from feeling a bit weaker, nothing happened.
Where's my Magic? Where's that huge amount of Magic I expected?
After waiting foolishly for a while longer and not gaining any Magic, Asakura came to a conclusion that frustrated him.
Yukino Yukinoshita was truly innocent, just an ordinary passerby who got caught up in this.
Aren't you the heroine? At least try to mutate a little!
Since the creator of this barrier space was neither Yui Yuigahama nor Yukino Yukinoshita, then who was it? Was there anything else alive in this space?
Just as he was feeling disappointed, Asakura suddenly felt his finger being spit out.
He turned his head and saw the girl, her face faintly flushed, looking at him with a complex expression.
That made sense. Unlike Yui Yuigahama, who hadn't eaten or drunk for three days and couldn't wake up immediately, Yukino Yukinoshita had only gone missing yesterday, at most a dozen hours. It was normal for her to wake up with external stimulation.
However, what Asakura didn't expect was that upon waking up and seeing a finger in her mouth, she didn't immediately lash out with her sharp tongue, but calmly assessed the situation—he had thought Yukino was always angry.
"Where is this...?"
The girl's eyes gradually became clear.
"Just consider it a dream."
Asakura replied.
Since the girl was a Muggle, it was better not to involve her in this matter.
"I'm already caught up in this," Yukino Yukinoshita said weakly. "Now, as a victim, do I not even have the right to know?"
"Even if you are a victim, I am not the perpetrator, so I have no obligation to explain everything to you. Besides, for your own good, it's better to forget everything about this place..."
Asakura stopped mid-sentence.
The ground was subtly vibrating, and if you looked closely at the small white pebbles at his feet—ah, they were milk candies—they were gently bouncing visibly.
Asakura looked towards the distance, and a burly figure appeared there.
"Oh right... you're still in this space," Asakura said softly, looking at the cookie monster.
