First it devoured the ruined church’s roof, followed by the walls, chairs, and the altar. Because they disappeared in an instant in front of her, the previously excited Femme was now in fear. (Wh-What’s with this magic….) Everything except Yoyo and Souji were lost. Like an assassin’s dagger, it approached Femme and Testarossa. Of course the white flame didn’t know of their existence.It moved casually, but Femme and Testarossa were in its way. That’s normal. Femme and Testarossa were inside the church after all. Testarossa held Femme and tried to escape from the flowing white flame, but it grazed her many times. It truly was at a hair’s breadth.Then Testarossa dropped Femme when part of her shoulder was devoured. The shock from being thrown to the ground deactivated her magic. Everyone could see the two. The white flame then flew towards Femme as if it was aiming at her. “Hiih!” Her expression warped in fear as she thought she’d be dead. However something covered Femme’s body at that moment and, bakiih, there was a sound of machine being destroyed.What appeared in Femme’s eyes was the image of Testarossa with her right arm eaten because she was protected her. Even so, Testarossa didn’t change her expression. After all she was a robot that was charged with the mission of protecting Femme. However the white flame quickly returned to face them. The two would be eaten at the same time if this keeps up.Death. The death. They were going to die. They would be dead in this unnamed place. (No…… no…… don’twannadon’twannadon’twannadon’twannadon’twannadon’twannaaa-!) Femme lost herself as she was frightened by the terror from the approaching death. Then she shouted as she tightly embraced the damaged body of Testarossa. “I-I am sorryyyyyyyyy-!” Femme strongly shut her eyes and prepared herself for the pain that would come soon, but no impact whatsoever came no matter how long she wait, so she slowly opened her heavy eyelids to confirm it.There was the white flame that could devour them at any time, and besides it was Souji with a radiant, wide smile.   “Pardon me for I arrived late, Ojou-sama.” Souji apologized as he freed Yoyo who was tied to the table. “It is okay, you did well. Thank you, Souji.” Souji was relieved because Yoyo was unhurt. Incidentally, Femme and Testarossa were currently bound by ropes made of orange flame. In addition, the Magic Sealing Lock that was used on Yoyo was equipped on Femme as an extra precaution. Yoyo approached the two and, “Higgu…… gusu…… th-…… that was so scary….” Femme sobbed. She seemed to have been really scared by the white flame. “You shouldn’t have do it, Souji. To make a girl this scared-.”“Eh!? Ojou-sama is angry about that!?” He indeed surprised by Yoyo’s reaction. Certainly he never wanted to kill them. No matter what was said, she didn’t even hurt Yoyo. Even for Testarossa, he adjusted the flame so she wouldn’t be dead when the flame devoured her. Even if he noticed she was a mechanical doll (automata), she’d be broken if he overdid it. Though, he was a little surprised that she was unhurt at that time. He thought to frighten the one responsible for this a little, but he overdid it…. “Higu…… hhihhiggu….” There’s certainly the guilt when he sees the girl crying while bound by rope. Testarossa didn’t move as she silently looking at Femme. “Besides, no matter if she was a mechanical doll (automata), isn’t this too much?”“............ is it okay to do that?”“Shouldn’t you understand without me saying anything? Besides, you will do it anyway, right?”“............ haa, as you wish.” Because Souji approached the two and once again held his hand up, Femme turned pale as she thought they’d be killed after all. “Please be at ease. I will not harm you.” After Souji breathed deeply, he shut his eyes. Large beads of sweat appeared on Souji’s forehead. (This is hard after all….) Even so magic power was concentrated on his hand. Then a green flame manifested from Souji’s palm. That green thing covered Testarossa’s body. “P-Please stop! Please forgive us!” Femme shouted so in tears as she thought that Testarossa was being destroyed, “It is okay. That’s why just be silent and watch.” Though Yoyo said so, Femme who turned her gaze towards Testarossa couldn’t believe that. Then an astonishing image came into view.The shoulder part that should have been devoured, and the wounds that were covered by the green flame were restored. Following that, the right arm that should have been lost returned completely. “...... no…… wa-...... y!?” Femme’s surprise might have exceeded the limit. Not only attacking, she didn’t even consider him to be able to heal like this. “...... Fuu.”“Thanks for your hard work, Souji.”“Ee, I am a little tired now.” Femme looked in blank surprise at Souji and Yoyo who were talking as if nothing had happened. “J-Just…… what are…… you….”“Ara? Rather than that, don’t you have something you should say first?”“Ah…… u…… uu~.................. th-thank you.”“Ee, you’re welcome. Ah, there’s scratch on Femme-san’s right hand.”“Eh? Ah….” Souji wrapped her right hand with his hands. “Heal it, green flame. ………… looks like it’s okay now.” Unlike a flame, her hand basked in comfortable warmth. Souji was smiling brightly and Femme’s cheeks were red. Immediately he saw her looking down and, “Huh? What happened? Don’t tell me there’s still another injury? If so, I will hea- ouch ouch ouch!” A sharp pain suddenly came from his flank. What he saw was Yoyo pinching his flank. “U-Umm…… i-it’s hurts, Ojou-sama?”“............ massage me when we return, it is an order.”“Eh? Ah, yes….” Truthfully he intended to rest early today because he was tired, but he couldn’t do anything if it was his master’s order. Setting that aside, he didn’t understand the reason why Yoyo seemed to be irate. Yoyo coughed once and straightened her postured then, “Well then, about how to deal with you-.” Femme moved her shoulders in surprise. “If you say you won’t attack me a second time, then you will be released.”“E…… Eeh!?” She was surprised. Though Femme never planned to hurt Yoyo, she did kidnap her and caused such a commotion, but Yoyo said those would be ignored if she promised only one thing. “Eh, th-that’s…… are you okay with that?”“Ee, however there’s no next time, okay?” She looked down at Femme with a cold gaze, and Femme gulped. Yoyo turned on her heel and said, “Time to go, Souji.” “As you wish. Ah, those ropes will disappear in a few minutes.” Souji only said that then he ran after Yoyo.   Few minutes after Souji and Yoyo leave, the orange ropes certainly disappeared, just as he said.Fuuh, Femme sigh contained her exhaustion. She suddenly stood up, and she saw the fact that the church has completely disappeared. “...... this is the power of the red haired butler.” Without any sound, she turned her gaze towards Testarossa by her side. “Even that recovery magic…… uun that has already exceeded recovery magic. It was just like restoration.” Then she dropped her gaze towards her own right hand. That was followed by her shaking her head as she felt her cheeks had become hot. “Aah honestly! Just what am I thinking! Testa!”“...... yes.” What returned was an inorganic reply. “How’s your body? Is it really okay?”“... There is no problem.”“I see… even you were equipped with only a few armaments, to easily defeated Testa…” When I thought he was going to let out a red flame that would burnt everything, he let out a white flame that immediately erased the church, and then, a green flame that could restore the torn off arm of Testarossa…. “...... I want him after all.”“...... Pursuit Mode ON.”“Aah nonononodoon’t!” At the moment Testarossa heard her words, her eyes’ color changed, and Femme panicky stopped her. “...... Pursuit Mode OFF.”“Haa~, though I want to run after him, there’s high possibility that we would just be beaten again. Besides….”“.......?”“Besides, I want to have a fair match to rob him from that woman!”“...... Understood.”“Well then Testa, let’s begin by knowing our enemy! By doing so, one or two of her weaknesses… I will challenge her for a match with that red haired butler as the reward! Fufufu, then he will be mine.”“...... a fair match?” Maybe because she confused about it, Testarossa tilted her head and asked that. “It is a fair match. But preparation is also necessary for a match, remember that Testa.”“...... understood.”“Fufufu, I will absolutely have him next time! Just wait, Souji Alkasha! O~hhohohoho!” 

 

Her loud laughter echoed around the church.
