The Executioner and Her Way of Life, Vol. 6 — Mato Sato

The duel with Master Flare in the land of salt continues. Menou should have the upper hand now that she's linked with Akari and her immense supply of Guiding Force, yet reality suggests otherwise. Master Flare still has a few secrets up her sleeve, and she'll do anything to win. Meanwhile, a mysterious entity that's hidden in the Star Memory for centuries emerges, ready to enact a plan one thousand years in the making. Menou and Akari have managed to triumph over every challenge set before them thus far, but they've never faced anything like what's coming. Not everyone will escape alive this time...
