A/n: And we grow ever closer towards the end. Or do we? Enjoy :)

After leaving Aqua and Kazuma, Y/n was walking down the street following Celestina, when she suddenly stopped and turned around to face him.

Celestina: Say, you're currently puppeted right now, right? You'll do anything I say, right?

Y/n: Well of course Serena-Sama, I'm here aren't I? Even if you wished for this town to be leveled this instant, I wouldn't hesitate to follow your commands.

Celestina: A-Ah, is that so.... Well don't worry, we're not at that stage yet so don't worry.

Celestina turned back and continued walking. She then spoke to herself in a small voice.

Celestina: ...Finally... Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment?! Do you have any idea how much shame I endured at the hands of the Devil Kings army after Regina-Sama was captured and sealed by the Crimson Demons?!

Y/n: No, I do not.

Celestina: Is that so? Then just stay silent and listen! A few years ago, the seal on Regina-Sama was broken for some reason. And I only recently regained my powers. One day, out of the blue, the power Regina-Sama gave me suddenly increased several fold! Yes, Regina-Sama gave me who has been struggling for so long her blessings!

Y/n: Isn't that because your her only follower?

Celestina: I told you to listen quietly! I'm in a good mood right now, so don't ruin it!

Y/n: Forgive me for my insubordination, but somethings been nagging at me for a bit now.

Celestina stopped and turned to Y/n again.

Celestina: And what might that be?

Y/n: I was simply wondering what the conditions are to remove the puppet status from me?

Celestina: ...You are really puppeted, right? Why do you need to know that information?

Y/n: It's nothing major, but I'd be quite troubled if I were to be released from your puppetry. I may not be as lucky as one of my former comrades, but it would be best if I knew when I would be at risk.

Y/n casually replied to Celestina causing her to walk up to him and grab his face with both hand and look deeply into his eyes.

Celestina: ...You...? Yes, I can feel the power of Regina-Sama coming from you. What's happening here? Could that be it? Did I put too much power into it and overdo the brainwashing? Rather than ending up as a puppet, its more like I've gained a devoted underling capable of independent thought. Well, no matter. It suits my purposes just fine. Keep at it.

Y/n: Of course, Serena-Sama.

Celestina nodded contentedly in response to Y/n's instant reply.

Celestina: Very well, I shall tell you. This will be helpful to you too. The first is if your feelings of owing something to me were to change, but you already know that. Next is a strong faith, you know, back when you and Satou bound me up and exposed my panties to my puppets, they regained their senses for an instant, right? Those kinds of 'strokes of good luck' events that would make people thank their god are particularly dangerous. I don't know what kind of god you worship, but do keep that in mind.

Y/n: Don't worry, the one I worship is Regina-Sama. If something erotic were to happen as you were out doing your daily business, the one I would be thanking is Regina-Sama.

Celestina: I-Is that so...? Don't push yourself. There's not a single human who doesn't have faith in something. It doesn't have to be towards a god, even of such notions were directed to a devil or a Dark Goddess, it'd still be effective. What did you worship before you started worshipping Regina-Sama?
