The girl is sober and looks terribly weak.

The more it's going to disappear, the more it looks.

"Ahhh..."

Something, maybe, reminded me of scary memories.

The girl wept...

"Huh!"

At that moment, those thoughts were blown away, like it might be a trap or you don't know your identity.

It's impossible to keep a girl trapped in a place like this.

I'll kick the door, break the key and go inside.

"... what, to?

The girl doesn't move while lying down.

Apparently, you don't even have the strength to stand up.

"Are you all right?

Gently, lift the girl.

I was surprised by its lightness.

It's like a feather.

From her fluffy hair, her fox ears were popping out.

Three fox tails from the gap between the blurry clothes.

My body is small and may be shorter than Sola and Luna.

It may be due to its appearance, but it gave the impression of being a young, small animal.

"Heels"

"... you, what?

When healing magic was applied, he recovered to some extent, and the girl looked at this one.

However, those eyes contained the colour of fright.

"... it's okay"

"Ah..."

I held him gently.

Be polite and gentle, like working with glass finishing.

Be sure to share my warmth.

I'll give you a gentle hug of the girl and a gentle slap on the back so you can rest assured.

"I... am on your side"

"Mi...... kata?

"Oh, I'm on your side"

"... Ugh..."

A girl hugged me here, feeling horrified or something.

In this moment, I don't think it means you believed me.

It's just...

Even the words of a stranger must have been hunted down enough to make you want to stick with them.

I couldn't afford to doubt if it was a trap...

I'm desperate to get help.

I felt that way.

"... mmm"

Slightly, the girl moved around.

"It's a little... painful, it's..."

"Sorry."

Slowly let the girl go.

I was just flustered, so I'm gonna support your back so you don't fall.

Apparently, that was surprising, and the girl's eyes get round.

"How... are you gentle, are you...?

"I told you. He said he was on his side."

"Allies..."

"I am, Rayne. What's your name?

"... Nina..."

Girl...... Nina snapped with a small voice.

"Nina, how did you get here? Could it be, but... to the lords... they were imprisoned in this hall?

"... yeah"

Kokuri, Nina nodded.

The colour of fear is on my face.

It may have reminded me of something unpleasant.

I'll slap you in the back and calm you down.

"Yes... Toto"

"Are you calm?

"... n"

"Can you let me know why you're here? If you're in trouble, you might be able to help."

"Help... will you?

"Of course."

"Ugh... yeah..."

Porridge and tears spill.

I don't know the details.

However, I guess this kid has endured it all along by himself.

"Sorry, don't worry, don't... tears, take it personally..."

"It's okay... because it's okay"

"Ugh... hiku... gusu..."

After a while, Nina regained her composure.

My reddened eyes are just painful.

"I... was in the back of the mountain..."

Slowly, Nina began to talk about the situation.

As you can see, Nina seems to be the most powerful species.

Close to the Cat Spirit Clan, the Divine Clan.

This is another tricky story, but it's not about God.

A long time ago, a clan was given the name 'Divine Nation' for giving power to the gods and partly ceding their name.

Nina, its divine tribe, was in a company behind the mountains.

He slept slowly, worshipped by the neighboring villagers.

The divine tribe, as sacred, is often worshipped by people.

Nina must have been one of them.

Nina, who lived peacefully... but one day, things changed.

I heard rumors about Nina. Son of a lord...... sure, did I say Edgar.

He showed up and said he had caught Nina and made it ours.

The days after that were... for Nina, it was like hell.

Edgar never hit Nina with lust...

Instead, I bumped into violence.

He was imprisoned for the pleasure of being able to conquer the most powerful species.

Whether it's coming or not, Nina is beaten by Edgar...

And... to this day.

Listen to me like that...

……

I was so passionate, I almost forgot me.

I immediately searched out Edgar and wanted to punch him enough to deform the shape of his face.

But...

Now, if I get caught in anger, I might frighten Nina.

That's no good.

Somehow keep your anger down...... stroke Nina's head.

"That was tough. But I'm fine now. I'll get Nina out of here."

"... can you escape...?

"Oh, sure."

"... Ugh..."

Again, I held Nina, who was about to cry because of relief, and calmed her down.

"By the way, can I ask you something?

"... n"

"Why, to be caught? Nina's power would have easily repelled it, wouldn't it?

The Divine Nation has special abilities that are not found in the other most powerful species.

I heard about it, but creating things from nothing, or storing items in subspace.

It seems that each individual has such special abilities.

For that matter, although the ability is inferior to that of the other most powerful species...

Still, it shouldn't be like people are enemies.

"...... hmm. The villagers... got caught... had to be quiet..."

"Oh my... Nina's so sweet."

"Kind...?

"For the people of the village, I dare you to get caught, didn't I? It's sweet. Normally, it's not very, but it's not something you can do."

"... n"

Nina dyed her cheeks just to look a little illuminated.

But that look disappears quickly and despair rises.

"I got caught... wearing this collar... and I'm still a child, so I can't get away with it... Rayne, I'm glad you could help me, but I can't..."

"Is this... something to use for slavery"

It uses magic, a kind of magic item.

Constraints are imposed on the inability to defy the contractor, and yet to get out of a certain range… that is, to be unable to escape.

I can't believe I put this stuff on a girl...

Anger broke out again, but Nina shuddered to see it, so she hurried to calm her feelings.

"... Phew"

"... Rain...?

"It's okay, I'll see what I can do."

"... can,?

"Trust me."

"...... hmm. I believe Rain..."

Gently, I touched the collar that binds Nina.

dominate and control the subject.

The magic used in this collar, in a sense, is similar to Tame's technique.

Then... you can use my powers and usurp control!

Focus your consciousness...

I poured magic into my collar.

"Gu!?

Moment after moment, severe pain runs like a current flowing.

It is probably a measure against those who do not tread on regular means and try to remove their collars.

Heterogeneous magic pours into my body and runs around like a starving beast.

Ouch.

I feel like I'm being stabbed with a needle from the inside out.

I can't stand my voice, and from time to time, screams spill.

"Fuck, Rain......?

"Hey, guh... wait, give me...! As soon as this happens... damn."

"Ouch, of...? Wow, looks painful..."

They can understand my pain, my pain, because I was in terrible shape myself.

Nina wolves and puts tears in her eyes.

"Stop... you don't have to..."

"Fine... Almost... Grr!?

"Rayne... Rayne... that's enough... I don't care... because I'm gone... nobody, I'm not sad... so... that's okay. I'm giving up..."

"Don't tell me you're lonely."

"Ah..."

While the intense pain runs...... somehow, I laugh.

"I... when Nina is gone, I miss her. It's sad... Gu..."

"How could... no... there, until..."

"I don't care why... I want to help Nina... so!

I was tempered and instilled magic all at once.

Piscilli, and the collar make a noise...

The next moment, I can smash it in pieces.

"Ah..."

"Hmm... did you manage that?"

Exactly tired.

I'm going to fall...

"Rain!

Now vice versa, Nina propped me up.

"Thanks...... that would help. Hey now, my body doesn't seem to move freely..."

"Rain... Rain..."

"Yeah?"

"... unscrupulous, no..."

"But in this case..."

"Me, too... Rain is going to be terrible... I don't like it. It makes me sad... so no..."

"... well. Then we have to be careful."

"... n"

Though I was in tears... Nina, for the first time, laughed at me.

She had a very beautiful smile.
