She's a girl about the same age as Kanade.

　First and foremost, the first thing you see is her fiery red hair.
　It's darker than Tania's, yet it shines brighter than Tania's.
　Such hair is long enough to reach her waist.

　And her ears are long, as if they were pointed as well.
　They are pinned to the side and have a unique shape.

　He is neither tall nor short. Normal.
　The clothes she wears are somewhat revealing, making it a bit difficult to look at her.

　After the red hair, another distinctive feature is the collar.
　She was wearing a collar with a bit of a charan and a chain attached to it.
　It was very carefully and finely decorated, and adorned with jewels.
　It doesn't seem to be a slave, so is it a type of accessory?

'Hey, why did the door open... and was someone out there?　Um....what?
Meow-hooo!

　The girl's eyes turned to Kanade.
　Kanade smiles and waves her hand in a swallowing greeting as if to say that she's not an enemy.

''Nya........nyaho...?''

　The girl returned the same greeting in a disciplined manner.

''Eh, cat spirit race...?　Why did you come to our home...?
Hey there...
Yoo-hoo!
'What?　Huh?　There's a god race and a demon race.......what does that mean...?

　The girls looked confused and fuming.
　She looked at Kanade, then at Nina, then at Rifa...
　And then you look at me.

"...and...

　For some reason, I freeze up.
　Maybe they've realized that I'm human.

　But it's not like he's going to attack me out of nowhere.
　Can we talk about this?

Hello. My name is Rain Shroud. I'm an adventurer.
....
I'm sorry to ambush you like this. You're the most powerful species known to man, the phoenix race?
....
'You may be surprised to see me out of the blue, but I need to talk to you for a moment. Actually.....
Pi.
"Pi?
'Pyahhhh!

　Suddenly, the girl let out a rather unusual scream.
　She became teary-eyed and rattled and shivered in fright.

''Ni, ni, ni, human!　The way it looks, the presence of it, it must be human!　
'What?　No, no, wait. You can't just go in there like that...
'Uhhhh!　Humans.........just go away!

　The jewel embedded in the collar shone.
　At the same time, the girl's hair swayed.
　Furthermore, red light spilled out of the fiery colored hair.

　This is it!
　I'm not sure what's going on, but I had a bad feeling anyway.

'Wait, I need to talk...!
Mr. Lane, look out!

　Before I could finish, Chiffon was in front of me.
　At the same time as I held up the shield of truth, flames danced around the girl's body.

''Hey, don't come here!

　The flames rising from the girl's body bared their fangs at us, as if to follow the movement of her arms.

''Kuu!

　The compressed flames slammed into the shield of truth, and Chiffon looked pained.
　It wasn't just the heat, he was feeling a lot of pressure.

''This oh!''

　The girl screams and more flames are born.
　She was supposed to be in the center of the flames, but she didn't suffer a single burn.
　In fact, she even seemed to be comfortable with the heat.

　She could control the flames as if they were her own, and she could control them at will.
　This is probably one of the abilities of the phoenix tribe.

Oh, my God, calm down!　We're not the enemy!
Yeah, calm down.

　Kanade and Rifa call out to them, but the girls seem to be in a complete panic.
　The words don't seem to have reached them, and they just keep hurling flames at me.

'Nina, please!'
Hmmm.

　Nina moves her hand around in a circle.
　Following that trajectory, a hole is created in space.

'Pow!'

　Flames are dumped into subspace.
　Or lead them in a completely different direction.

　That's how you prevent the girl's attack, but soon after, Nina looks impatient.
　The girls' attacks don't stop at all.
　Like a storm, one after the other, flames come rushing in.
　Nina deals with them one by one, but her hands can't keep up.

''Kook........Fireball Multi-Shot!

　Since it's in a cave, the power is minimal.
　Unleash multiple fireballs to cover Nina.

Bloodshot.
GigaVolt!
Uh-oh!

　Rifa uses blood bullets, Chiffon uses magic, and Kanade throws stones at them...each intercepting the flames.
　But even so, it's difficult to completely block the girls' attacks.
　The overwhelming amount of flames pushes them jittery.

　If you're going to fight, but if you're going to be on the defensive, it's pretty tough.
　But that doesn't mean I can't fight a girl who is supposedly of the phoenix race....
　What to do!

'Aaaaahhhh!'

　Sakura's howl echoed.
　It reverberated through the cave, enveloping the girl in a weapon of sound.

'Pyah!'

　It must feel like a gunshot to her ear.
　The girl jerks and shudders, then squats down, holding her ears.
　The flames subside and the heat wave disappears.

　Without missing the moment, Sakura ran.
　She goes to the girl in a straight line and, with the governor, pulls her body close to him as if she were going to hit him.

''Piyah!

　The girl is pushed down by Sakura.
　She doesn't seem to understand what has happened, and she's in a state of confusion, with more tears oozing down her face.

　Sakura gets on top of her and licks her face with a peroration.

''Huh...?''

　The girl glues her eyes shut and looks like she's ready for life... but then she realizes that she's just being licked and opens her eyes in horror.
　Then she sees Sakura on top of her and scowls.

''........Sakura-chan?''
On!

　Sakura barked on top of the girl, buzzing her tail.
　Seeing Sakura like that, why was the girl here?　I get a look like that.

　They knew each other, apparently.
　So, did Sigle-san say that he should stay with Sakura?

Why is Sakura-chan with a human...
"Wahhhh.
''....What?　Momo-momo, could it be that........we've been caught by a human!
Wahoo!
He did this and that and he did this and that and he did this and that and a lot of horrible things to me and... hahaha.
Wahhhh....

　Sakura spilled out a squeal that was somewhat dismayed.

'What?　What? No?　Then.....
Humans. There are humans!
Finia is under attack!
Get your people over here, and don't let a human live!

　From the back, more phoenix people.
　Like the girls, they have flames on their bodies.

　This is not good.
　If they attacked us in such numbers, we couldn't do anything about it.

Rain-kun, we have no choice but to retreat...!


　I was willing to do some recklessness to help Iris, but....
　I'm not being reckless any more, just reckless.

　Sakura came over here in response to my voice.
　Then we left the cave together.
