    Witch Annabelle was going to fight a magician. She was defeated, the magician transfered her into a surreal space (space A), and created five portals to space B for her head,legs and arms. Annabelle's head and limbs were fixed by those portals in space B.

    No matter how Annabelle cast magic spells, she couldn't enchant her torso which was in space A from space B. She almost had no way to rescue herself. Finally Annabelle made a decision: separating herself. Those spirits who inhabited in space A promised Annabelle to protect her heart. For exchange, they could take use of Annabelle's torso.

    In space B, Annabelle's head and limbs went independent. There was no Annabelle; she was decomposed. Annabelle set the goal for her parts in space B before separation. They would struggle for life and work together to build a substitutional torso for assembling a fake Annabelle. She planned to let that fake Annabelle to come to space A to rebuild true Annabelle one day. Annabelle's parts were doing their best to hunt other surreal beings in space B for her goal.

    Good luck to Annabelle!

    Ichimu's husband is Aragaki Hiroshi (新垣 博史). He is a talented surgeon and was born in an ordinary Catholic family. Since he doesn't seem to have supernatural power, Why did Ichimu marry him?

    About twenty years ago, the Oumae family found Hiroshi. Though he was a normal guy, the Oumae family expected that he would have the next mighty saint as his baby with Oumae Ichimu. That time, Ichimu was in preserve mode. The Oumae family set her properties to cater to Hiroshi's love, and then reassembled Ichimu. Ichimu was sent to the church that Hiroshi went to for meeting him. Ichimu was set to be pure, innocent, and sincere. Hiroshi was attracted by her so much. They fell in love with each other soon, and later they got married. Next year, we have our dear Ayase.

    Till now, Ichimu still often adjusts herself for corresponding the need of being Hiroshi's perfect mate. When Hiroshi gets sleep, Ichimu will "freeze" him and bring him into the special space created by the Oumae family. She will analyze her husband exhaustively, then Ichimu will adjust each of her own parts to fit the need for attracting the corresponding part of Hiroshi.

    Such that Hiroshi's legs will be attracted by Ichimu's legs, Hiroshi's arms will be attracted by Ichimu's arms, even Hiroshi's organs will be attracted by Ichimu's organs, and so on. Not just Hiroshi, his body is also addicted to Ichimu, or I shall say Aragaki Ichimu. Of course, Ichimu has to turn back to be Oumae Ichimu to do so. You can say that Aragaki Ichimu is the Ichimu whom was specially designated for being Hiroshi's wife (and Ayase's mother).

    However, though Ichimu looks invincible with this system, being Aragaki Ichimu is somehow risky for her. After all, Aragaki Ichimu is a faithful kind lady, she shall be "good", but her true self, Oumae Ichimu is at least a wicked one. A good Catholic Christian surely can't tolerate the fact of being such a blasphemous monster.

    Usually Ichimu prevents this plight by erasing Oumae Ichimu from Aragaki Ichimu. She will set herself to concentrate on the role of being Aragaki Ichimu and not to think anything of being Oumae Ichimu. Her "Oumae portion" will act in her deep internal emotionlessly to run the Aragaki Ichimu. This works good, but sometimes the balance will be broken under specific conditions. Then Ichimu will be "malfunctioned".

    Once Oumae Ichimu was going to collect fragments of miserable souls, and she encountered an exorcist. The exorcist splashed holy water on Ichimu. Normally Ichimu won't be hurt by holy water because she is also a Catholic (despite a wicked one), and she doesn't feel suffered about the blame from her faith. However, when Ichimu turned back to look at the exorcist, she sighted her daughter, Ayase-- or more precisely, Ayase's photo. The exorcist was Ayase's classmate, and she adored Ayase. The setting of Aragaki Ichimu was activated unexpectedly, and that made her faithful heart to be torn by the effect of heresy. Oumae Ichimu was repelled by her painful and shameful self. Communications between her parts were ceased because her parts felt bad about each other, that caused all of her parts couldn't operate normally. She was malfunctioned.

    Fortunately the Oumae family had designed a specified safety function for Ichimu. The magic enchanted on Ichimu's head would be activated automatically for transforming her head into another virtual being if she was shut down abnormally. Her head would fly away and return to the Oumae house. The exorcist was scared away by Ichimu's terrible head.

     Members of the Oumae family came to retrieve Ichimu's headless body. They brought it back and fixed Ichimu. In the mean time, Ayase sensed a huge emptiness of her ego, just like the meaning of her existence was denied by herself. She cried and she didn't know why.

    So, Ichimu still has her weakness. One day maybe Ayase will be "occupied" and manipulated by the Oumae family; on the other hand, she also has the chance for totally retaking her ideal mother together with her whole self from the Oumae family. Who knows.

    May the force be with you, Aragaki Ayase. Go!

    Let's talk more about "Makai Tensho" (魔界転生).

    Makai Tensho is the magical technique which was developed by Amakusa Shiro's wraith for coming back to live from the hell. Everyone of the Oumae family inherits this technique naturally when she/he was born. For an Oumae, her/his body can be separated and classified into two categories. Head, arms and legs are active body parts, and the central body is the support body part. Because when Shiro was killed, his central body was beaten into a pile of muddy flesh, he had to rebuild his central body from the mud just with head and limbs in the hell. Nowadays Makai Tensho becomes the technique for an Oumae to maintain herself/himself or reform her/his properties. Let's see how it goes demonstrated by Ichimu.

    At first, Ichimu has to empty her ego. Her central body will be "liberated", it's components will be released. Her head and limbs are the "fixed points" for her; without fixed points, Ichimu will be totally scattered into meaningless pieces. The skeleton of her central body will remain in situ to be the the frame. That's the "loosed form" of an Oumae. Ichimu can set magical spells and spiritual surroundings around the place before she loose herself. When her internal components come out, settings of properties that she wants to install on herself will be enchanted on those components through magical spells. Ichimu also can preserve herself in this form in a special room of the Oumau house. In fact, Ichimu is hundreds of years old. She must come back to the Oumae house to clear her identity as Aragaki Ichimu periodically. Aragaki Ichimu is just an ordinary wife, an ordinary mother. Her properties, emotions and thoughts are set for and will be confined by her husband's and Ayase's wishes. Makai Tensho is her way to make herself to back to be Oumae Ichimu again.

    The second form is compact form. The existence of her central body is condensed, and it will support active body parts powerfully. The surreal connections between Ichimu's central body and other body parts aren't very tight, so her active parts are half self-ruled in such condition. Ichimu is very mighty in compact form. Each of her active body parts can act and pretend to be an Ichimu. For example, one day Ichimu was in compact form. She experimented on her head with new magic, and her feet were trying to transform their bones into weapons. At the same time, her arms were made to go grocery shopping for the Aragaki family. They took the central body with them to form the image of an Ichimu for other people.

    You won't see Ichimu's pieces. You will find three Ichimu in three different places. That's the way of how Ichimu uses herself-- yes, use. If Ayase knows that she was "manufacture" and given birth by such a body, she will go crazy...(to be continued)

    Ayase likes and admires her mother for all of her, expect one thing: her original family name.

    After marriage, Ichimu changed her name to Aragaki Ichimu as a member of the Aragaki family, but her former name is  Oumae(黃前) Ichimu(一夢), and Ayase has an inenarrable bad feeling about that surname Oumae. She doesn't know why. The Oumae family is Catholic and always keeps a low profile, logically Ayase doesn't have any reason to dislike her mother's original family. However, if anyone mentions that, or calls her mother Oumae Ichimu, Ayase will feel very sick, just like the honorable image of her mother is totally torn. Ayase doesn't want to think or discuss her ridiculous complex anymore, she just wants to keep her mother as "an Aragaki" instead of "an Oumae". Once when Black Cat asked Ichimu her original subname, Ayase screamed out because of fear.

    Well, Ayase's complex is truly unreasonable, but her intuition is accurate and acute. Her mother really hides a tremendous secret of Oumae from her.

    Let's start the tsory of the Oumae family from the Shimabara Rebellion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimabara_Rebellion). The event happened in the Kyushu island of Japan in 1637. The rebel army mostly consisted of Catholic Christian peasants and was led by Amakusa Shiro (天草 四郎, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amakusa_Shir%C5%8D). The rebel army was defeated and Amakusa Shirou was decapitated (http://ww3.sinaimg.cn/large/005RpE9Bgw1es2oequdjjj30nq0cwmzp.jpg) in 1638. Later, for revenging, Shiro's remorseful wraith was reincarnated by dark force from the hell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makai_Tensho). However, he was defeated by the legendary samurai Yagyu Jubei again. Before his second death, his spiritual power of resentment (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/173/487724757_b41d92e535.jpg) was transferred to his secret daughter, and that possessed girl established the Oumae family when she grew up.

    Therefore the Oumae family is naturally Catholic, but unlike other "normal" Catholics, Oumae family members possess supernatural power from the dark side. Amakusa Shiro believed in the God, but he also hated the God because of the catastrophe happened on his followers. His emotions influences his descendants of the Oumae family continuously.

    So, after Ayase got her holy power of being an exorcist, her surreal power made her to see through her mother's belief figuratively a few times. She felt that the crucifix implanted in Ichimu's inner is not a pure holy one; it was mixed up with some wicked beings, and Ichimu seemed to be manipulated by the mixed force, like a puppet.

    Of course, Ayase doesn't take it seriously, or you can say that she doesn't want to. She rather considers that as a day-dream. Unfortunately, her  intuition gets the truth.

    As the container for Amakusa Shiro's spiritual power, Ichimu doesn't care her own ego a lot. The entire Oumae family was made for Amakusa Shiro, family members just value Shiro's thoughts and wish. Wills, minds, personalities and bodies, all of them aren't important. An Oumae can take use of anything of her/his self if she/he needs to. That's why Ichimu can always act as Ayase's ideal mother; she reflects Ayase's wishes by modifying herself to form Ayase's perfect mother.

    Ichimu also can extend her ability in such way. For example, once she found a wicked goddess who was heavily wounded. She offered up her parts as the sacrifice for the goddess to replace her wounded parts temporarily. However, the heretic deed activated Ichimu's Christian faith to blame those sacrificial parts, and because of that, the goddess's broken head (it wasn't functional such that the goddess was unconscious even when Ichimu held the sacrificing ritual of her body parts) couldn't be reassembled. The functional part of the goddess took Ichimu's donated head as the device for providing ideas automatically. Such that, Ichimu actually got the goddess's power. Her lower half and head were owned by the goddess, and her torso has to obey her donated heads, her entire self can be viewed as the goddess's slave, but the goddess must gets ideas to act from Ichimu's head. Ichimu can summon many powerful monsters with that wicked goddess's power.

    By the way, it's okay for Ichimu to let her spirit and body parts to be blamed by her faith because she doesn't value them at all. Whatever how many negative values you make her to add on her parts, she won't be hurt. On the other hand, even if you can make her to consider herself as a good person, she won't feel any good from that. Though you can say that she's evil, she is in fact neutral, neutral to everything...(to be continued)

    Ayase is so proud of her mother, Aragaki Ichimu (新垣 一夢, Ichimu means "a dream"). She often compares her mother with Black Cat's mother Mei-Xian (http://taoyundao.blogspot.tw/2014/05/black-cats-legendary-mother-black-cats.html) . Both of them are pretty, graceful, lovable and gentle. Moreover, her mother is a pure sincere Catholic Christian, and despite Black Cat's mother's heart (with her central body) belongs to to the Christian religion (http://taoyundao.blogspot.tw/2014/05/009-freedom-with-internal-conflict.html) , she still keeps her whole self as a Taoist. Ayase thinks that her mother is better than Black's. Ayase loves her mother very much.

"This is my dearest and proud mother, Ichimu. Hey, I came from such a wonderful lady! Too good to believe."

    Surprisely, Ichimu meets Ayase's wishes in every aspects. Her appearance, her acts, her talk, her thoughts, even her wearing, her hairstyle, her shoes, shapes and curves of her body parts, everything of her mother all satisfies Ayase perfectly. It doesn't mean they are strictly perfect, but they fit conditions of being Ayase's mother for Ayase. For example, even when Ayase was scolded or punished by her mother and made Ayase sad, that was because Ayase thought she needed to be scolded or punished in that moment subconsciously. Ayase has a subtle feeling that the whole existence of Ayase's mother is just like prepared for in response to her wishes. In fact, Ayase even dreamed such a dream at once:

"Oh, that's... MOTHER?"

    In Ayase's dream, there's a pale central core of her mother, and parts are forming. Ayase feels thea those parts of her mother are shaped up to Ayase's thoughts and then attached to the central core. That implies that her mother is made for her.

Such a idea is way too freak and offensive, Ayase isn't dare to tell or discuss it with others. She just considers it as an illusion. Her mother is an ordinary elegant lady, surreal and supernatural things have nothing to do with her mother. Uh-huh, it must be so.

    However, Ayase obviously doesn't understand her mother enough...(to be continued)

    Today Sweet Shadow decomposed Kuo Xue-Fei and installed a new set of magics on her parts through the contract, then it merged those pieces of Xue-Fei into her again. Later, Sweet Shadow sensed the emergence of evil monsters, it asked Xue-Fei to go to the scene to fight.

    With her new power, Xue-Fei completed the mission perfectly. She reassembled her own body after battle, and tried to retrieve her wand(contract) and contain it in her body. Her headless body was standing freely, and the wand was going into her body slowly. Her head was the "bottle top" and preparing for coming down. If the process was completed, Xue-Fei would turn back to be a normal girl from the status of being a mahou shoujo.

    However, a monster still was not dead thoroughly. It attacked Xue-Fei's wand with it's final power. Xue-Fei's wand was knocked away from her neck cross-section when Xue-Fei was in her metastate. Xue-Fei was astonished and stunned.

    Later, a boy picked up that damaged wand. Unfortunately, the boy has gifted magical power. His power stimulated Xue-Fei's malfunctioned contract, and the entire set of magical spells installed on Xue-Fei's body were activated at the same time. Xue-Fei was system overloaded. She underwent the chaos between her parts, and her unity couldn't be sustained. Her head fell on the ground, and her eyes were dilated. Her magical processing core was established in her brain, and it was operating at full rate as if it was going to burn.

    Finally Sweet Shadow arrived. It looked at it's contracted mahou shoujo speechlessly, then it asked the scared boy to assist it to rebuild it's mahou shoujo.
