"Don't waste your efforts, no one but me can open this magic mechanism."

Prison Warden Locke's words made Hinako's mood fall to the freezing point at once.

"You're a liar! I just opened it up. ”

"Hahaha! It's funny, I deliberately opened it up to bring you in. ”

"What?! You did it...... I don't believe it! ”

"Believe it or not, but none of you want to leave here today."

Warden Locke really doesn't look like he's lying.

After all, Hinako herself was actually very confused about the fact that she was able to open the magic mechanism just now.

But getting this answer in this situation made it difficult for her to accept.

"Hinako, come back quickly, they're coming towards you!"

In this short period of time, the soldiers have surrounded Nanako.

"Ahhhh

Hinako escaped unpresentably.

"What now, Acting Captain?"

"Even if you ask me that, I don't know."

"Useless guy......"

"I don't want to, it's just, it's just, it's just ......"

The flustered Hinako couldn't think about anything anymore.

"Alright. Next, I'll use my magic to hold them back, and you guys will find a way to sneak up on Locke. ”

"Sneak attack?!"

Hinako cried out in surprise.

"Be quiet, stupid! The sneak attack was completed by Harina and Nana. ”

Hoshino glared at Hinako fiercely.

"Hmm."

"Understood."

Nana and Haruna nodded.

"If you're ready, step away."

"Wait, wait! What about me? What am I doing? ”

Hinako, who didn't get any arrangement, protested dissatisfiedly.

"You? You can't use magic anyway, so just find a place to hide. ”

"What a joke! You want me to hide? How could it be! ”

Hinako, who couldn't accept it and could only hide from the sidelines and watch, cried and stuck to Hoshino.

"I'm ready, you're ready to sneak up at any time."

It's a pity that Hoshino didn't eat this set and directly ignored Hinako.

"Hmm."

"Don't ignore me!"

"If you don't want to be frozen into an ice sculpture, stay away from me."

“…… Nao-chan bullied me again! ”

Hoshino's cold words made Hinako give up protesting and find a rock to hide with tears on her face.

"Ice! The cold breath seals the sky and makes everything still. I wake you up in the name of Nao Hoshino, let's dance, let's dance! The ice of the deep cold, sustenance of my thoughts, for this ruined world to offer the final ice! Freezing！ ”

Hoshino's chanting of magic grew louder and louder, beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down the sides of her cheeks.

White gas quietly appeared.

"Oh no, it's large-scale magic! Come back! ”

Locke's words were too late.

The temperature dropped below freezing in an instant.

The world is covered in white.

Nothing is immune to this.

Everyone was frozen, including Hinako, who was hiding behind rocks.

This guy was actually grimacing a moment before he was frozen.

"Damn! Who the hell are you? ”

Only a few soldiers and prisoners escaped the magic, but all of them suffered from frostbite to some severity.

"Nana, are you ready?"

"Well, you can do it at any time."

Harina quietly walked around Locke with Nana just before the magic was released.

"When did you get here?"

"Suffer death!"

Locke didn't notice the two sneaking around, and by the time he did, Nana had already rushed towards him.

"Come on, stop them! Hurry, hurry, hurry—"

Nana's punch was dodged by Locke.

Locke didn't rest on his laurels, drew his sword, and slashed at Nana.

Fortunately, Nana's body was more agile and she easily dodged Locke's sword.

"It's annoying to hide around!"

"Nana, I'll help you hold the others down. And he will leave it to you. ”

"yes, I see."

Harina lured the soldiers who were gradually surrounding her to the side and helped Nana buy time.

"Hold it back, big bad."

"Ridiculous! You gang of traitors should be caught! ”

The two collided violently.

Locke was very cunning and didn't give Nana any chance to get close at all.

"I already saw just now, you are just a boxer, as long as you don't let you get close, you can't do anything about me."

“…… Boxer? Doesn't sound handsome at all......"

Nana didn't seem to be happy with the title at all.

"Let me give you a taste of my awesomeness."

Locke seemed to have suddenly changed a person, and his swordsmanship became more and more powerful, and he actually suppressed Nana.

"It's been a long time since I've done it myself, so I'll try it with you today."

"Nana won't throw in the towel."

"Then please die, stinky boy!"

"I'm not a stinky kid!"

Nana was enraged by Locke's words, and was clearly impulsive.

She was fully into Locke's rhythm.

"You're still too naïve."

One was injured by Locke's sword without noticing.

Nana clutched her arms and crouched down in pain.

"Hmph, with your little ability, it's better to go home and stay well. Well, it's time to wrap up! ”

Locke flicked his sword and stabbed at Nana.

In desperation, Nana could only retreat sharply.

What she didn't notice was that there was a dead end behind her.

"Report to the warden that her companion has been captured by us."

"Yes, you're doing a great job."

Nana looked at the soldier's position - it was Haruna with an apologetic face.

"I'm sorry, Nana, they got caught."

"Surrender yet, or I'll kill your companion."

Locke put his sword on Hauna's neck.

Nana was the only one left in the scene who could fight.

Hinako and Hoshino are frozen, and Harina is also caught by them.

At this time, the Hinako team fell into an unprecedented crisis.

“…… You're going to let her go. ”

"If you don't surrender, how can I let her go."

“…… If I surrender, will you spare them? ”

Nana hesitated.

"Of course. As long as you surrender, I'll let her go. ”

"Nana, don't ......"

Before Harina could finish her words, she was covered by the soldier next to her.

"Okay, I surrender."

Nana didn't want Harina to get hurt and gave up resisting.

"That's right."

Then, Locke threw a pair of handcuffs at Nana's feet.

"Put it on yourself."

"No...... You...... Come on! ”

Harina struggled violently, barely squeezing out a few words, but received a heavy punch from the soldier in the stomach.

"I'm sorry, Sister Harina, I don't want to see you hurt anymore."

Nana picked up the handcuffs on the ground.
