"Dean, hold on! If you're the dean, you can have that on your cocktail!

Laura rushes to the Great Sage first and tries to pull her out of the cottage.

Unlike normal people, a great sage wouldn't cut a thousand if he meant it.

Grabbing both her arms, Laura pulls.

"Mm-hmm."

Still, the Great Sage can't pull out.

"Laura, we're here to help!

"Me too."

Charlotte pulls Laura, Anna pulls Charlotte.

Still, the Great Sage can't pull out.

"Pi, pi!

Haku cheered me as I flew around the patter.

Still, the Great Sage can't pull out.

"Oh, yeah! You just have to turn the kotatsu into a dimensional warehouse. How could I not have noticed that before?"

Laura let go of the Great Sage's arm.

At that moment, Charlotte and Anna pull me and I fall back.

But Laura didn't hurt because Charlotte's chest was cushioned.

Instead Anna at the bottom makes a "ghoulish" sound.

Laura rolls around and moves, then expands the gate of the dimensional warehouse.

I tried to send my butterflies to the other side of the world.

but.

"Is that it? I can't open the gate... or... the dean is interfering!?"

"I'm sorry Laura... I don't want to get out of my cocktail... no, I know I have to. But... oh, no. My body and mind will be dominated by the kotatsu..."

"Is it true!? Are you sure you're in control? You don't just want to take a nap!

"My willingness to take a nap, coupled with the magic of a snack... is making it impossible to escape."

"That, at least, doesn't fit! We work together, don't we?

And when Laura screamed.

A large crowd of kotatsu came from above.

In an attempt to intercept, Laura and the others set themselves up.

But sooner than that, the Spirit of Fire appears and burns down the snails.

"Dean...?

"... I can't get out of here, but I can manage to fight Kotatsu... I use my mental powers, so there are about ten spirits I can summon... Come on, Laura. Charlotte. Anna. Huck. Because I'll protect this place. You find Nanica in the back of the pit! That's the only way to save humanity!

The Great Sage screams in desperate shape.

It's amazing mental power.

The people who have been taken in by the cocktails I've seen just lay on their hefty faces. The Great Sage keeps himself at a critical place.

"Okay...... Dean, I'll take care of the rest!

"Your father, your dean, and humanity will be saved and shown!

"Even in lieu of my life, I'll try to stop the kotatsu......!

"Pi!

It's weird to leave one great sage here.

But that's the only way.

Laura and the others enter the pit in tears.

Laura summons the human-sized Spirit of Thunder and makes him walk the lead.

It's gonna light up, and when the snails fly, it's gonna blow.

"Haku look forward. Spit the flames and attack when the snails arrive. I'll leave the alert behind to Mr. Charlotte and Ms. Anna."

"Pi!"

"This Charlotte Gazzard. I will definitely protect Mr. Laura!

"I think it's okay because the dean is working hard... but I'll do everything I can to protect Laura"

"Yeah!? We're all moving on, not protecting me or anything, right?

"That's not true. Now that the dean teacher has been taken in by the kotatsu, the strongest human being is Mr. Laura. I don't know what awaits you ahead... but the relics of ancient civilization are the opponent. Of all mankind, Laura is the only one who seems to be fat."

"That sort of thing. At the expense of me and Charlotte, but Laura should move on."

Laura tried to argue with something, but thinking objectively, that was true.

Laura's shoulders bore a heavy responsibility.

"... let's all go as far as we can!

Still, Laura doesn't want to do anything to trump her best friend.

Speak your thoughts, and then proceed silently.

Fortunately, no matter how far we went, Kotatsu didn't show up.

Maybe it's a trap, but it's superior.

I'll crush every trap.

Eventually...

The pit suddenly widened.

so much space that the light emitted by the Spirit of Thunder does not reach the edge.

There was a big cocktail sitting there, like a house, waiting.

"Coming, sons of men"

That big cocktail has spoken in human language.

When Laura and the others are surprised that Kotatsu has spoken, Kotatsu keeps spinning more words.

"My name is Mother Kotatsu. Being able to unify all the cottons. Come on, sons of men. Let's give her a happy sleep."

Naming Mother Cottoos From among them appeared countless little cottoos.

Hundred... No, two hundred. It's still growing.

"This is too many!

"Once, we have to retreat"

"If I show you my back, you'll get hit! Dimension warehouse, deploy!

Laura opens the gates of the dimensional warehouse, transferring the coming cottons one after the other.

Whatever the attack or the enemy, it doesn't make sense if it doesn't arrive.

The shield by the gate of the dimensional warehouse is the defense of the iron wall.

But it was Laura's first experience to leave the Dimension Warehouse gates open.

That consumes more magic than you can imagine.

"Laura! You'd better send that big one to the dimension warehouse before the smaller one!

Anna screams.

Hazy Laura tried to take a giant cocktail into the gate.

but -.

"I can't open the gate!?"

I can take in a small snack without any problems.

But even when I tried to send a giant cocktail to the dimensional warehouse, the gate wouldn't open for me.

"You seem like a high-level wizard, contrary to appearance, to be able to use a dimensional warehouse. But I can do as much as interfere with the dimension. Don't take a sweet look at Mother Cottoo!

I wonder what that means.

I didn't know such a futon and a desk-like object would disable the dimensional warehouse.

The technical skills of ancient civilizations are horrible.

"It sucks......... I won't hold any more..."

A few minutes have already passed.

Laura, who kept sending the coming cottons to the dimensional warehouse, was already on the verge of zero magic.

"Mr. Laura, you have to do your best! Swallow all the snacks and Laura will win!

"I can't help you... Come on, Laura"

"Pi!

Support would be appreciated.

But the world was not convenient enough for magic to recover from that alone.

Laura's magic diminished so much that she couldn't maintain the Gate of the Dimension Warehouse that at last the Kotatsu broke in from the gap of the Gate Shield.

But.

"Light. Give my magic. Therefore the covenant. Shatter your enemies -"

Already then, Charlotte's chant of the spell was complete.

Light shelling with all its magic pierces the six knobs together.

More snails are breaking in.

and, at the same time, Anna twinkles two magical swords.

First, an intense tornado hits the Kotatsu, sealing the motion. This was followed by a few lightning strikes, which shattered all the snails caught in the tornado.

"Pi, pi, pi!"

Furthermore, Haku threw up light from above Laura's head.

The only thing Haku could throw up on his own was the flames, and it shouldn't have been a ray if Laura hadn't done reinforced magic.

Soon, Haku grew up too.

Even with the help of everyone like that.

The number of snails does not diminish.

An infinite amount of butterflies gush out of my mother's butterflies.

And finally.

No Laura, no Charlotte, no Anna, no Huck.

Each one of them gets taken in by the cottoo.

"Unconscious, it is... I really can't move... On the contrary, my instincts are complaining that I don't want to get out of the cocktail..."

"Oh no, this me... my do-good guts won't pass... I won't give up..."

"I want to stay asleep... I feel happy about that..."

"Pi..."

Laura and the others stare at Mother Cottonfish from the snail.

But the stare won't be as sharp either.

I think I'm going to fall asleep.

"Now we've taken all the humans in this area... and eventually they'll bring sleep to humans all over the continent."

"Why...... why do you put humans to sleep? What did ancient civilizations make kotatsu for......?

Laura asks, squeezing her temper.

"What I found out. To hibernate humans. Sleep through the cold and harsh winters until spring in the comfort of your cocktails. You humans would have made me for it."

"... Huh?

"Hehe. It's not just warm in the cottoo. It brings together magic technology and has a complete life-support function. Powerful defensive junctions also robust against attacks from external enemies! If you cross the winter with a cocktail...... refresh! When you wake up in the spring... you humans are going to be so healthy and have a great new year! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Mother Kotatsu makes a high laugh.

I would never let that happen, Laura tried to scream, but I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't.
