The beast tamer exiled from the hero’s party and the cat eared girl from the strongest race meet

Chapter 246: Captive...

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

"Unya... Meow!" 

Kanade took a deep breath, and with a burst of determination, she kicked the cell.

However, the cell didn't budge; it only made a loud clang.

Instead, Kanade's leg went numb.

"Oh, my... It's numb."

Her tail twitched all the way to the tip as Kanade tried to massage her leg.

Afterward, she sat on the tattered bed inside the cell and gazed up at the dirty ceiling.

She let out a deep sigh.

"Sigh... Escaping seems difficult, doesn't it? If it weren't for this, I could easily break out."

Kanade glared at the cuffs on her neck and wrists.

Due to these magic restraints, she couldn't use her full power.

If it weren't for them, she could easily kick the cell to pieces.

"I wonder if Rain is alright..."

――――――――――

"Ugh, I shouldn't be in a place like this!"

Tania shouted loudly within the cell.

She glared at the detestable cell, but it didn't magically open just because of her anger.

Her frustration continued to grow.

If it weren't for the magic restraints, she would have transformed into her dragon form and caused havoc right now. 

Her stress had built up to the point where she contemplated such extreme actions.

"I'm worried about Rain, but... what about everyone else?"

Tania thought about Kanade.

Considering she was like a wild child, there shouldn't be any issues, and she reached a somewhat disrespectful conclusion.

She thought about Sora and Luna.

Since they were twins, they were likely going about their usual routines, she concluded.

She thought about Nina.

She worried whether her trauma had resurfaced.

She thought about Tina.

The image of her casually conversing with the gate guards came to mind.

"I need to do something, but... how should I go about it?"

Tania's face darkened, but she never considered giving up and continued to desperately brainstorm for a solution.

――――――――――

"Ugh..."

Sora and Luna were confined in a two-person cell.

They had spent most of their lives together, and if they were going to be separated, they were determined to make the guards regret it.

They threatened the gatekeepers and managed to stay together.

However, the magic restraints prevented them from using magic.

They couldn't escape, and they couldn't investigate Rain's situation.

Unable to do anything, the two lay on their beds.

"My dear sister."

"What is it?"

"These beds are hard. Isn't stone a better option?"

"I think even stone might be softer."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

...

...

Silence flowed...

"Udaaaah!"

Luna couldn't bear the silence any longer, jumped off her bed, and shouted loudly. Then, she turned her palm towards the cell that was holding them.

"Bring forth the end, Ultimate End!"

She attempted to cast high-level magic, but due to the magic restraints, the spell failed to activate.

"Guuuh, if only this weren't here...!"

"Even if it weren't here, who tries to cast high-level magic in a place like this? If the magic had worked properly, it would have been a disaster."

"I don't care what happens to those who would do terrible things to Rain and everyone else!"

"Well, on that point, I agree..."

They were a radical pair of sisters.

Originally, the Spiritfolk despised humans. Rain was an exception, and Sora and Luna didn't trust other humans easily.

"However, for now, struggling won't help."

"Is this really fine with you, Sora?! We don't know what Rain and the others are going through!"

"There's no other option right now, no matter how worried I am. We have to endure."

"Sora..."

"But when the time comes... we'll give back everything we've received. We'll make them regret putting Sora and Luna in this situation."

"Umm... yes, we shall!"

Sora and Luna were determined, never giving up, and deep within their eyes, the flames of their counterattack burned quietly

――――――――――

"Mm..."

Tina, confined in a birdcage, reached out through the gaps and fiddled with Nina's magic restraints using a hairpin.

She tinkered with them, producing clicking sounds.

However, the mechanism was complex and couldn't be unlocked with a simple hairpin. Furthermore, Tina was also confined in the birdcage, unable to move freely.

While it looked like an ordinary birdcage, it had a unique property that interfered with the internal magic. They had to use a specially prepared magic restraint because there were no restraints that matched Tina's magic.

"No good... this won't work."

Giving up, Tina let go of the hairpin.

"Are you... okay?"

Nina looked worried.

"I'm fine. Just a bit tired, that's all. More importantly, Nina, are you okay? Being put in a place like this, are you having any strange thoughts?"

"Nn... I'm fine because Tina is here... I'm okay."

Seeing Nina smile so brightly, Tina felt a strong protective urge. Even in these circumstances, Nina hadn't lost her smile.

But how long would it last? Staying locked up in a cell for an extended period would undoubtedly take a toll both physically and mentally.

Nina was still a child, and Tina doubted she could endure this harsh environment for an extended period. Before they reached their limit, Tina needed to do something.

It wasn't just about Nina but also about Rain and their friends. They were likely going through similarly challenging situations.

Tina became resolute. She would never give up. They would return to Horizon House together.

"All right, break time's over!"

"Tina...?"

"Just wait. I'm going to try picking the lock with the nail I found there."

Tina inserted the nail into Nina's magic restraint's keyhole and attempted to unlock it.

Nina didn't say much, simply following Tina's instructions. She hadn't given up. She kept trying to create a rift in space over and over again, even though it didn't work due to the magic restraints.

She didn't want to just sit there and be saved. Being helpless was over. This time, she would be the one to rescue Rain.

With a strong determination in her small body, Nina repeatedly tried to activate her ability.

TL Note-  The Harem gearing up to rescue Rain.....imagine their faces when they know he already escaped with another woman.
