"Woo...... Nao-chan, you're bullying me again......"

"Less verbose, hurry up."

"Nao-chan has a bad heart!"

With all her might, Hinako shouted the spell of the first fire-based magic scroll.

Although she didn't have to shout with all her might, it wouldn't affect the power of the magic.

The flames splashed sparks on the pattern and then extinguished......

"Next."

"Damn, this time it will definitely work!"

Hinako was not satisfied with the power of the scroll, and she put all her hopes on the last earth-based scroll.

With the appearance of light, the pattern reacts violently.

The magic trap was successfully activated.

"Liar, right, did it really succeed?"

"Hahaha, do you see, I'm really good!"

"Sister Hinako is so powerful!"

Nana looked at Hinako with starry eyes.

"Who keeps making noise there?"

After the light passed, the four were teleported to a huge plaza filled with men in prisoner costumes and prison soldiers.

At the head of the group was a middle-aged man—the Warden Locke they had seen earlier.

"It turns out that all of them are hiding here."

"What kind of place is this?"

"That's a lot of people."

The four people who suddenly appeared in the square instantly became the focus of the entire square, and everyone's eyes were focused on them.

"They're all looking at us......"

"Don't be afraid, I'll negotiate with them."

"Be careful, we'll back you."

"Don't worry."

Hinako walked as a negotiator not far from Locke.

I have to admire that she can still be calm and calm in this kind of scene......

Wait, I seem to see her hands and feet shaking.

This guy can't be stubborn, right?

"Let's move forward a little bit and be ready to support Hinako at any time."

"Hmm."

"I ask again, who are you?"

Warden Locke was angry that his questions had not been answered.

"I'm Hinako Miyagawa."

"Hinako Miyagawa? Haven't heard of it...... What are you doing here? ”

"We're here to avenge Chris!"

"Chris? Who are you Chris? ”

Locke's face sank suddenly.

"We're Chris's friends."

"Friends? Why have you never heard him mention it? ”

“…… How do I know that it could be, it could be him...... Not very familiar with you, right? ”

That's right. Come on, arrest all the traitor's friends. ”

"Huh? Traitor? What does that mean? ”

"Did you come without even knowing what's going on? I still really admire him for having a good friend like you! Give it to me. ”

The soldiers quickly surrounded Hinako and the others.

"What should I do?"

"Is there any other option than fighting?"

"Can't you talk to them properly?"

"What stupid are you talking about? From the moment the captain intends to help the skeleton monster, isn't there only one way left to fight? ”

"Eh, is that so?"

"Stupid, just step back."

If you don't defeat him here, you won't get what you want.

Hinako's loss of the scroll is equivalent to losing her combat effectiveness, and she can only hide behind them.

I came here without thinking about anything, and I have to admire her......

"They are a bit outnumbered, so take care to protect yourself. Will Nana be able to get rid of them? ”

"No problem."

"Very good, please ask Harina for support."

"Understood."

"Hinako is hiding behind me, don't run around."

"I got it......"

"Let's fight!"

With Hoshino's order, Nana and Haruna rushed out.

"What are you doing? Kill all personalities! ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers showed their fierce faces after receiving the order, raised their swords and rushed towards Nana.

"Nana, there are two in front, three on the left, and two on the right."

"Oh, are you ready for judgment?"

With her small body, Nana nimbly dodged the slashes of the soldiers.

A small fist hit them, but it made them scream in pain.

"Good, there are still people left on the left and right."

"Understood."

The two people on the front were effortlessly tackled by Nana.

"Rubbish! What are you doing? Don't take them down yet! ”

"The one on the left will be handed over to you, and I will stop the one on the right."

"Leave it to me!"

Nana and Harina stood back-to-back, each facing an enemy on one side.

"Are you ready?"

"Hmm."

"Let's go!"

Harina didn't choose to go head-to-head with the soldiers, using her speed advantage to contain the soldiers.

The soldiers were played around by Harina.

"Damn, what's going on with this guy? How can you run so fast? ”

"Leave her alone, let's go and get rid of the two women hiding behind."

"Yes."

Seeing that the soldiers shifted their attention to Hinako and Hoshino, Haruna panicked all of a sudden.

No matter how much she harassed them in front of the soldiers, it didn't stop them.

"Nana, are you alright? I'm out of control, eh......"

“…… All right. ”

Nana just finished out of the enemy in front of her, clapping her hands and converging towards Harina's position.

"Wrong, Nana, the enemy is on Hinako's side."

"Huh? Is it? ”

"See? It's over there. ”

"Well, I saw it."

Nana ran in the direction that Haruna was pointing.

"You are not allowed to harm my fellows."

Nana, who suddenly burst out from behind, made the soldiers who were focused on Hinako and the others not react, and fell under Nana's fist.

"That's it!"

"Well, you know how good we are, right? Let's not tell us what happened back then. ”

"Hmph, I don't need to say much about the traitor. All the rest will be brought to me with me, and whoever can catch them will be rewarded with 100,000 gold coins. ”

The warden was not deterred, but encouraged the remaining soldiers to gather around the four of them.

"That's a lot of people."

"What should I do?"

"You prisoners will also go with me, and whoever catches them will be released!"

The warden of Locke mobilized the prisoners who had been kneeling on the ground.

The number of enemies instantly more than tripled.

"It's despicable!"

"Why don't we retreat?"

Faced with a large number of enemies, Hinako retreated.

"Are you sure you can open that magic mechanism again?"

"I'll try again......"

"But you don't have any scrolls anymore."

"There's always a way to figure it out."

Hinako came to the place where they had been teleported earlier.

Sure enough, there is the same pattern there.

As long as you can activate the mechanism in front of you, you can escape.
