The ones who went through the new magic-circle are the Gremory-group, Irina, and Kaichou and Saji from the Sitri side. It’s just like how they wanted.
The Student Council members that remained are transporting the magicians we caught together with the staff of the Three Great Powers that are on standby above.
It seems like a battle occurred above between the staff and the magicians. It seems like the witches were using teleportation magic-circles to send rocks, earth Golems, and the monsters they have summoned to the basement. Looks like the witches that avoided my ability were supporting the magicians from the outside. Those witches were also defeated and caught.
We are heading towards the so-called “leader” while we stop feeling gloomy.
And what appears in front of us after we pass through the magic-circle they prepared is—
……Is a spacious white place.
There is nothing, just a normal white space. It’s a rectangle place where it is white above, below, left, and right.
……The ceiling is quite high. It isn’t big like the battlefield we use for our training, but it’s spacious enough that we can fight quite recklessly here.
“This place is a “factory” that we made in the dimensional gap. It’s a technique adapted from what Devils use for the battlefield in the Rating Game.”
――!
A sudden new voice. When I look that way……
A shadow which wasn’t there when I looked around this space before is present.
There is someone wearing a silver robe with detailed accessories while being away from us. The voice belongs to a young man.
He’s also quite tall. I can’t tell what he looks like because he is wearing his hood.
……Judging from his appearance, is he a magician? When I pay attention to his move—
“Ise-sama!”
This time its Ravel’s voice! When I look towards the direction where the voice came from, Ravel and Koneko-chan are standing in the far right side of us! ……Koneko-chan is carrying Gasper! He seems to be down, and it’s obvious they did something to him.
Ravel and Koneko-chan aren’t held captive or anything, and they are still wearing the same Kuou academy’s uniform when they were kidnapped. ……Besides Gasper, there aren’t any visible wounds from one look at them.
“You can have them back.”
The man in the robe says that.
While paying attention to him, we wave our hands to Koneko-chan and Ravel, and urge them to come to us.
The man wearing the robe didn’t do anything while we reunited with these three.
“Ise-sama……”
Ravel has teary eyes.
“Ravel, did they do something to you? I heard they are searching about the Phoenix……”
When I ask, Ravel makes her body shake silently. I can see that instead of physical damage, she has received emotional damage.
Koneko-chan drops down Gasper whom she was carrying, and leaves it to Asia to cure him.
Koneko-chan bites her lips with frustration.
“……Ravel, Gya-kun, and I, had ourselves checked for something with a magic-circle. They didn’t do anything that much to our body. Except, Gya-kun……”
Gasper has his face beaten so much that it is swollen. It’s swollen in blue colour, and I can’t see that adorable face of his—.
“……Gya-kun tried to protect us and……”
Koneko-chan makes teary eyes.
Seeing Gasper’s swollen face……
The man wearing a robe says it.
“It was our mistake regarding that boy. Since he stood in front of us to protect those two, it seems like my underlings used their fists instead. Other than that, we treated them well.”
……I see, so Gasper was trying to protect Koneko-chan and Ravel.
You do show how much of a man you really are.
Everyone in our group including me changed the density of the aura around our bodies after seeing Gasper’s appearance.
They turned our adorable junior into this state, so we can’t let them get away with it……!
