"My master sealed himself away. I tried to get him out but ended up being sealed in a pocket dimension. Time there was slower than everywhere else. By the time I made my way back into my dimension it had been around 40 years."<br/><br/>"He sealed himself?" asked Mai.<br/><br/>the girl sighed, "I take it you didn't know him."<br/><br/>"No," Mai confessed.<br/><br/>"He was unhappy," the girl said. "He said being able to have everything was like having nothing..."<br/><br/>"What magic that book about?" Mai asked.<br/><br/>The girl held up her book, "It's about summoning charms. That was the type of magic I used: summoning."<br/><br/>"Can read it?" Mai asked hopefully.<br/><br/>The girl held it close to her and thought, "Only if you help me with something."<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------<br/><br/>"If this is a different planet," Reina started.

Where are we?"</span>Ari asked, tilting her head.<br/><br/>Ebisu smiled and said while laughing, "We're still on earth."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Really?"</span>Ari asked.<br/><br/>Ebisu smiled, "Of course. It's just not the same earth that the great biological disaster happened on."
