Unya........nyah!

　Kanade took a deep breath and...
　As soon as he spat it out in one go, he kicked the prison with a lot of energy.

　But the prison didn't budge.
　There was only a loud clatter.

　Instead, Kanade's legs went numb.

''Awwww..............numbness.

　It jerked up to the tip of its tail and quivered...
　Kanade held his feet down.

　Then he sat down on the tattered bed provided in the prison and looked up at the dirty ceiling.
　One deep sigh.

''Huh.......I wonder if it will be difficult to escape. If it weren't for this, it would be easy to escape.''

　Kanade looked resentfully at the locks on his neck and both wrists.
　Because of these magical locks, he was unable to use his true strength.
　If I didn't have these things, I could easily kick through a prison.

''Rain, are you alright........''



----------



'Oh my God, I'm not even supposed to be here!

　Tania shouted loudly, alone in her prison.
　Although she stared at the d*mned prison, that didn't open the lock.

　Her frustration only grew.
　If I hadn't been fitted with a magic lock, I would want to turn into my dragon form and rampage around right now.
　Tania was stressed out enough to think about such a radical thing.

''I'm worried about Rain too, but.......will everyone else be okay?''

　I think about the Kanade.
　I conclude rudely that it won't be a problem because they are like wild child examples.

　I think about Sora and Luna.
　I conclude that those twins, for whatever reason, would be doing their usual pace.

　I think about Nina.
　I was worried that the trauma was recurring.

　Thinking about Tina.
　I thought of the scene of her talking carefree with the gatekeeper.

'I'll have to do something about it... but what can I do...?'

　Tania's face turned dark and ...
　Still, I didn't choose to give up, and I kept thinking desperately about a way to break the ice.

'"Uh...

　Sola and Luna were locked in a prison for two people.
　They have spent most of their time together from birth until now.
　If they're going to be separated, I'm going to make them regret it later, I swear!
　I managed to threaten the gatekeepers and get them together.

　However, I can't use magic since I'm wearing a magic lock.
　They couldn't escape, and they couldn't find out what happened to Rain.

　Unable to do anything about it, they were lying in bed.

''My sister,''
What is it?
'The bed is hard. Wouldn't stone still be better?
I think the stone is harder, indeed.
Is that so?
Yes,
....
....

　There was a silence and then....

'Ughhhh!

　As if the silence was too much to bear, Luna got off the bed and shouted loudly.
　Then she pointed her palms at the prison that held them in.

'Bring about your demise, Ultimate End!

　He casts a super-class magic.
　However, since it is magically locked, the spell will not be activated and will end up being ineffective.

''Goooooooo, if only this wasn't the case...!
''Even if there wasn't, who would try to cast a super-grade magic in a place like this? If the magic had been successfully activated, it would have been a terrible mess.
I don't care what happens to people who do horrible things to Rain and everyone else!
'Well, I agree with you on that, but...'

　They were radical sisters.

　Originally, the spirit race hated humans.
　Just because Rain is the exception, doesn't mean that Sora and Luna are open to other humans as well.

''However, there's nothing we can do about it now, even if we struggle.
'Do you mean to tell me that Sora is going to stay that way!　You have no idea what Rain and everyone else is going through!
It's not good!
What?

　Luna freaked out and shivered when she was told in an unexpectedly strong tone.

'I'm worried about Rain and everyone else too but there's no point in getting impatient. We just have to be patient for now.
Sora....
'But when the time comes I'll do my best to lash out. I will make them regret putting Sola and the others through this.
"...hmmm. Do it!

　Sora and Luna never gave up, and in the depths of their eyes, a small flame of recrimination burned in the depths of their eyes.

Hmm.

　Tina, caged in a birdcage, reached through the gap and fiddled with Nina's magic lock.
　Using a hairpin, she fiddled with it with a click.

　However, the structure of the lock is complicated, and it's not something that can be unlocked with a hairpin.
　Moreover, Tina herself is in a birdcage and cannot move freely.
　It looks like a mere birdcage, but it's of a special nature that interferes with the magic inside.
　Since there are no magic locks that fit Tina, it was prepared in a hurry.

''No.......this is impossible.

　Giving up, Tina let go of the hairpin.

''Daijo.......bu?''

　Nina looks at him worriedly.

I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I'm just tired.　Doesn't it remind you of something weird to be put in a place like this?
Well I'm with Tina, so I'm fine.

　Seeing Nina smiling at her, Tina felt irresistibly protective.
　Even though she was going through this, Nina didn't stop smiling.
　But how long would it last?
　If she is kept in prison all the time, she will eventually become physically and mentally exhausted.

　Nina is still a child.
　I don't think she can endure this harsh environment for a long time.
　I have to do something about it before the limit is reached.

　It's not just about Nina, I have to do something about Rain and her friends.
　They would probably be crippled just as much as Nina was.

　Tina's resolve grew stronger.
　I will never give up.
　We will definitely go back to Horizon's house together again.

'Alright, break's over!
Tina...?
Hang on. Now I'm gonna try a nail I picked up there.

　Tina put the nail into the keyhole of Nina's magic lock and tried to unlock it with a click.

　Nina didn't have anything to say, and she did as Tina told her.
　However, she doesn't give up.
　She was trying her best to open the sub-space again and again.
　Because of the magic locks, it doesn't work...
　Still, he didn't give up and tried again and again.

　I don't want to just sit still.
　I'm done with that, just being rescued.
　This time, I'm going to save Rayne.

　With a strong determination in her small body, Nina tried repeatedly to activate her ability.
