When Euto and Serena headed to The Sanctuary of Sky, in The Cave of Evil Dragons.

"Hold on, Lina! You okay?!?"

"... ugh"

With a voice calling herself, Lina regains consciousness and opens her eyes softly. There was Sasha's face.

"Mr. Sasha... why are you here...? Didn't you go back to Ajito..."

"[Prediction of the future] So I saw a future where you guys would be hit by a seven-star angel, and I turned back. Sorry, if only I could see it a little sooner..."

"... no, Sasha is not bad at all"

Lina wakes up her upper body slowly.

"Are you okay to move? Don't push it too hard."

"I would be fine. More importantly, Asta and Sue..."

"There is no consciousness between the two of us, but there is nothing else in life. I've already intervened."

"... Really?"

Seeing Asta and Sue lying on their backs on the ground, Lina breathed relief.

"... Lina protected you two from the seven-star angel"

"Eh, I don't know if I can say I protected it..."

Then Sasha sat down on the spot.

"Thanks. If it weren't for you, both Asta and Sue would have been deprived of their souls by now by seven-star angels. Thanks so much...!!"

"Yes, no, no! You both protected me when I ran into a dragon and lost my mind, and..."

Lina leans down and grips her clothes.

"The other party was obviously on the loose. If they were serious from the start, I would be too by now..."

Lina said to bite off her powerlessness.

"Ha! Thats more like your brother and Serena!? I split up second-hand on the way...!!"

"Oh, I was just about to go check on you. But you can't leave Asta and the others here. Can you manage to carry it if you two or so...?

"Mr. Sue will be carried by me. Sasha took Asta."

"Are you sure? You are injured in the battle with the Seven Star Angels..."

"Sasha should be the same one who's injured. Don't worry about me."

"... sorry. Grateful."

Sasha bears Asta as an adult with a [burgeoning] spell, and Lina walks out with Sue on her back as well. The monsters had fled a long way because of the dragons' rampage a while back, and they never showed up in front of Lina and the others.

"I hope your brother and Serena are safe..."

"It's about Euto, even if his opponent is a seven-star angel, he won't be killed. Let's believe Serena was protected by Ute, too."

"... Yes"

And a few minutes to walk, Lina and the others arrived at the great cavity behind the cave.

"This is...!!"

Big cracks in the walls, on the ground, splashed blood everywhere. Seeing the signs of a vivid battle, Lina and Sasha flashed their faces.

"Oh my brother and Serena are nowhere!!"

"I don't even see a seven-star angel... Did you leave with a metastatic spell that you weren't like anyone until you got here...?

What Sasha saw in [Forecasting the Future] was the scene where Serena was hit by Yeg, so she didn't even know what happened after that.

Sasha then stopped looking at the mirror fragments scattered across the ground and picked up one of them.

"Is that...?

"... it's probably a fragment of 'The Mad Demon's Hand Mirror'"

"What!? Well...!!"

"Oh. I'm pretty sure you saw it destroyed by the Seven Star Angels before the Utes could get it..."

Sasha bites off her lips. The remorse was immeasurable because "The Mad Devil's Hand Mirror" was Sasha's only hope for annihilating the Seven Star Angels.

"No way, my brother and Serena, the Seven Star Angel took my soul...!!"

"... I don't think a man as good as Yout has been defeated by a seven-star angel. And if you've been deprived of your soul, Euth and Serena's body should remain here. There's no point in purposefully bringing back a body that's lost its soul."

"So, where are your brothers?"

That's when Lina looked like she remembered something.

"What's up, Lina?

"... a man named Seal said 'The Talent I Was Seeking', 'Pulling Into a Seven Star Angel' and so on in the midst of battling me. I didn't really know what that meant then, but maybe your brother..."

Sasha opened her mouth after showing her how to think about it for a while.

"It's only a guess, but Seal thought about drawing into the Seven-Star Angel in love with the power of Euto. So Ceal took Serena hostage and took Ut to the 'Sanctuary of the Sky' in a situation where he had to listen... or something"

"So your brother and Serena are in 'The Sanctuary of the Sky'...!?"

"That's a good chance."

Except for the fact that Ute dared to ride Seal's invitation, Sasha's guess was pretty much on.

"... Mr. Sasha, I have a favor to ask you. Tell me where the gate is"

Lina turns a serious eye to Sasha.

"I know you two had a negotiation to tell me where to go with the gate once we successfully got the 'Mad Demon's Hand Mirror'. But if Sasha's guess is true, someone has to go help your brothers. So please...!!"

Deeply bowing your head, Lina. From that word there was a strong indication of the desire to be a force of uto.

"... you are the benefactor of Asta and Sue's life. I don't mind teaching, but I can recklessly go to the 'Sanctuary of the Sky' by myself."

"Ugh..."

Then Asta regained consciousness and her eyes opened quietly. Soon after, Sue regained consciousness as well.

"Good, have you both noticed"

"... sorry Sasha. I'm fine with you putting me down now."

"... me too. Thanks, Lina."

Asta and Sue sat against the wall and Sasha briefly explained the situation.

"Ut and Serena were taken to the 'Sanctuary of the Skies'...!?"

"It's only the realm of speculation, but I'm pretty much sure"

"Damn. Because of my impudence...!!"

"... Asta isn't the only one who's bad"

Asta slaps on the ground and Sue grips her fist. Lost without the art of exchanging to the Seven Star Angel Seal, the two were deploring their weakness.
