[No way]

Unintentionally, Hajime voiced out as he watched the huge mushroom cloud that scorched the night sky. A long time ago, while stunned he remembered a scene from a war documentary that he saw on TV, then suddenly a telepathy came.

Ma, master..how are things on your side?

O? O~o, Teio huh. No, things on this side just ended.

Fumu, thats great then. As expected of master. Weve just finished up on this side as well but, can you join up with us?

No, something amazing just..

..We already know of the cause. Or rather, its mistress and co.s fault..

..What was that?

For the time being, can you join up with us?

Ha~a, I got it

It seems the cause of how the churchs head temple completely collapsed is known, just what, Hajime quickly moved to meet up with Teio while his cheeks cramped up. While going up into the sky, Teios black dragon form was quickly discovered in the air at a distance away from the mushroom cloud.

And, in Hajimes eyes, Aiko who was riding on Teios back had an, [Awawawa], kind of feeling with panicking emotions reflected. The question, Why is Aiko here? appeared within his head, judging by Aikos personality, she most likely begged Teio to stay and cooperated instead of running away in order to help Hajime. Rather than that, its obvious that Aiko was in a worried state of [Ive went and done it now] kind of feeling.

[..Sensei, Teio. You both seem to be fine]

[Na, Nagumo-kun! Thank goodness you were safe. Really, thank goodness]

Master. Umu, for a moment there we thought that you were dead, but youre still alive. Jeez, as expected of masters sensei-dono. I didnt expect mistresses dragon breath to completely eradicate the entire church itself. It was heavenly brilliant

Towards Teios words, Hajime could only blink. And with a It cant be expression, he turned towards Aiko.

[..Sensei, just what exactly did you do]

[Awawawawawa, th, thas*not a typo, shes flustered* wrong! I didnt mean for this to. The churchs barrier was a pretty strong..if Teio-sans breaths power was increased thenwe only intended to break the barrier but]

Although Aiko leaked out a sigh of relief when she saw Hajimes appearance, she began to panic again when Hajime asked her questions. It appears that this is what you get when you ask a panicked Aiko questions.

Aiko while riding on Teio, was determined to fight so that Ishtars magic which caused an abnormal state wouldnt be used on Hajime. However, even with a high aptitude for magic, Aiko who didnt have a satisfactory magic formation wasnt able to release strong magic attacks. And again, the cathedral itself seemed to be an artifact which created a powerful barrier, If Ishtar was being protected within the barrier, then even Teios breath wouldnt be able to reach him.

If this continues, Ishtar will be able to calmly use magic from a safe zone. She thought about whether or not there was a way to obtain more power to exceed the barrier as they dodge the temple knights attacks, what Aiko came up with wasto take advantage of her own special skills. By the way, Aikos abilities are as followed,
