In the lounge, Su Youzi, who had changed into long clothes and trousers, sat hugging her legs beside Soga Toyura. Because the wheelchair was lost in the previous different dimension, for the time being... Su Youzi's mobility could only rely on Soga Toyura.
Beside Su Youzi sat the "Seat of Evil," looking as well-behaved as ever, draped in Su Youzi's jacket and also hugging her legs. However... the subtle contrast of the graceful and slender woman hugging her legs and sitting so obediently brought Su Youzi more than just pleasure.

But she could only report with a distressed expression.
"In the previous battle..."
"The Luluye was severely damaged."
As if understanding something, the little bird perched on Su Youzi's shoulder buried its head almost completely under its wings.
Fearing that Su Youzi would retaliate again.
"But the most serious damage..."
"Is the Luluye's energy."
"The energy modules we carry may not be enough for us to fly to the Emila Duchy."
"Around this location--" Irena gestured on the map.
"In..."
"Machino Duchy."

Coincidentally--
The Saint Maiden's hometown... seemed to be there.
She looked at the map Irena was gesturing to.
"We'll probably crash-land around there," Irena said, looking at Su Youzi. "But..."
"Lord Yuzu, you don't need to worry!"
"In Machino Duchy..."
"'Manifest Manufacturing' has outposts too."
"Once we leave this Different Dimension... I'll contact the Young Lady immediately and have the people in Machino Duchy prepare to receive us."
Su Youzi nodded gently.
She had clearly noticed Lyudmila's abnormality.
She had never been to this land before, and yet... she was a Saint Maiden who had only grown up in a dreamlike cradle.
Looking at the map Irena pointed to.
Thump thump--
Inside her heart... it felt as if a sprout was growing.
"Lord Michael--" she prayed to the God in her heart.
"Is that..."
"Your hometown?"
