"Where did they go?" Spoke the silver haired half-elf, worried for Subaru, Sora, Kenichi, and Naoko's sake. The others noticed this question but their main concern was the witch they were fighting.

"What was that though? That creature."

"Th-That definitely seemed like the Witch of Envy, Anastasia-sama..."

Julius spoke with hesitation in his voice, still shaken up from the battle. Kishida took a moment to process everything that had happened with the random attack from an outside source managing to take away the witch but also caused Subaru, Sora, Kenichi, and Naoko to disappear.

Once he got his senses back, he turned towards Beatrice to ask her if she knew anything related to the witch or what she did to Subaru and the others.

Beatrice stood silent for a moment as she took note on what the knight had asked her. She looked at Kishida for a brief moment before looking forward, keeping a calm gesture the entire time.

"Whatever that is definitely could not have been the witch of envy herself, I suppose. As for what happened to Betty's Subaru and the others...I do not know what exactly happened but I can confirm that whatever happened to them was a result if yin magic."

"Yin magic." Ram said as this caught her interest. She has been aware of Subaru and Beatrice's affinity being yin magic with hints that Kenichi and Naoko could also have this trait but outside of that and Roswaal, there hasn't been any other yin magic users. She turned towards Beatrice to ask,

"What do you think she did to them, Beatrice-sama?"

"It is...unclear but she must've send them away...somewhere, I suppose."

The others took note of this with Rem and Emilia both scared that Subaru and Sora were send somewhere horrible. Elsa also felt a bit of fear in her heart, fearing that something bad could happen to Sora yet she recalled how the fight went, knowing that whatever Sora faces, the boy will survive. Meili was concerned that the witch could come back but at the same time she was unsure what it was. This caused her to ask Beatrice,

"Was that really...the witch of envy herself?"

The group felt a cold feeling when they heard this question, everyone having some fear towards the witch. Beatrice was the only one to keep her calm as she responded to Meili's question by saying,

"If it was the real Witch of Envy, Sora-sama wouldn't have done as good as he did, in fact."

"With all due respect Beatrice-sama, don't underestimate Sora-kun." Rem spoke as she was trying to stay calm while also being assertive. Beatrice took quick note of this which prompted her to look at the blue haired oni with an annoyed facial expression.

"I didn't say that, I suppose! I said that this so called Witch of Envy couldn't be the real one. Sora-sama is powerful but even so, he wouldn't have made it unscathed against the real one, in fact."

Beatrice said as her face turned a tad bit red, annoyed that she had to clarify herself to Rem. The group took note on this yet they were unsure whether this is a fact or not regarding the witch of envy. Despite this conversation, Julius wanted to move away from this by turning towards Emilia to ask her,

"What exactly did you and Sora-sama saw in the last trial?"

"Ah yes...um, we met Volcanica."

"V-Volcanica?!"

Both Julius and Kishida responded, both of them dumbstruck that they have the chance to see the divine dragon itself. Elsa took notice of this while she was taking care of an unconscious Shaula, her mind running on the thoughts of seeing the divine dragon's bowels.
