Jeanne:  Jeanne and Elisabeth dashed forward, with no room to doubt whether or not Izabella would succeed.

Kaiser:  With a singularly nonchalant air, the Kaiser shook his head in exasperation and did the same.

Narration:  Together, they passed through the entrance. Unbelievably, the bombardment had stopped. It was almost miraculous how quiet their surroundings were. They could see a priest wearing a lavish vestment shouting something at La Christoph. He was undoubtedly trying to get him to resume the bombardment. But as he gazed at Izabella in bewilderment, La Christoph obstinately refused to open his arms.

Priest:  “What the hell are you doing? Why show mercy to someone who’s been won over by the demons?” The priest shouted again, even louder.

Narration:  As he did, Izabella’s subordinates started moving at once. They all rushed over to the priest. The group that looked like executioners tried to get them to fall back, but the paladins gave determined shouts.

Paladin:  “Please, that’s not it! Our commander was taken against her will!”

Executioner-like group:  “Bah! Back, you lot, back! What are you thinking? !”

Paladin:  “You’re the one trying to dispose of our kidnapped commander all on your own! What are you thinking? !”

Executioner-like group:  “She’s fallen into the demons’ clutches!”

Paladin:  “We told you, she was abducted! We’re not going to just let you blow away our commander!”

Narration:  Disorder swelled through their ranks. Taking full advantage of the opportunity, Deus Ex Machina collapsed into pieces. The steel giant’s body separated into a number of chunks. From them, four machines landed atop the ashen earth. One of them was a beast made of nothing but fangs. Another was an automaton, shaped like a human except for its fatally warped frame. One of the other monsters was a lizard with limbs made from pipes and wings of glass. And the final one was a bipedal suit of armor with no visible seams anywhere on its body. The chains on Jeanne’s wrists jingled. Taking their cue, the machines began spinning. White light started glittering in a circle around them, and golden flower petals danced up through the air. The teleportation circle began activating, leaving Izabella behind. The priest went slack-jawed. La Christoph continued looking solely at Izabella. She made no motions to flee, so La Christoph chose not to resume his attack.

Priest:  “Get ahold of yourselves! Don’t let them get away, dammit—stop them!” As he shouted orders at the fighting paladins, the priest began chanting to activate Elisabeth’s shackles. As she stood beside Kaito, her skin started burning, and she let out a small cry of pain.

Elisabeth:  “Urk—”

Kaito:  “Elisabeth…” Kaito and Hina supported her shoulders.

Hina:  “Lady Elisabeth.” Kaito and Hina supported her shoulders.

Narration:  However, Elisabeth wasn’t the one giving the chant for the summoning circle—Jeanne was. The light gradually grew in strength. The paladins and the executioner-like group frantically rushed toward them. As they did, Jeanne gently extended her hand.
