-Majabah, the Capital-

Otoharu and his men made their way back to Sousuke after having searched the whole capital. Otoharu discovered that some parts of the eastern part of Majabah's capital, where it used to be just the sky before, were connected to Silica.

"It really is quite chaotic, Yaotome." Otoharu spoke with a concerned voice. "Some Silicans have wandered into our world and get scared by magic. Many of them think they are being attacked." He opened his red eyes to reveal how serious he was. "Plus Gaku-kun is yet to be found. I would not be so surprised if he ends up in Silica since a gap in Nijiiro Canyon has disappeared and been replaced with land. Silica can be reached from there. None has also located Nanase-sama's remains, assuming it was the high lord's magic that stopped the whirlwinds. "

Sousuke clicked his tongue in frustration. "Just where is that idiotic son of mine?!?"

-Silica, SkySilica-

Ryuu and Nagi could only eye the two grieving Majabahns sympathetically. While they did not fully understand Tenn and Gaku's situations, they saw how important the existence of a lord was to Majabah. In Silica, a Regulator and a panel of high-ranked scientists are elected and changed every few years to make sure the world evolves in the direction people want.

Tenn had been crying silently in the corner of the room. He knew there was not much time for him to grieve if he wanted to keep the worlds' peace. He wiped his tears with his hand, turned around and walked back to where Ryuu and Nagi were standing. Gaku was nearby, sitting on an office chair with his forehead buried in his palm.

"Gaku, you should take care of the announcement."

Gaku turned to look at Tenn with his mouth open as if to say something. He closed it, before opening it again once he managed to sort out his thoughts, or more like once his anger came back fully. "Stupid brat! You are asking a servant to take the lord's place. Have you gone insane?"

"Face the reality, Gaku." Tenn argued back with his shaky voice. He himself did not want to face it. "Your lord is dead!" The boy avoided saying his brother's name. "It's the end of the Nanase! As a Yaotome, you are in charge of the authority anyway. What difference would that-"

Gaku stood up furiously. Without leaving Tenn a chance to finish his sentence, he grabbed his shuriken and cut Tenn's face, leaving a large bleeding wound starting from the boy's right ear to the corner of his lips. Tenn's eyes widened when he saw the blood on his hand. He had never thought Gaku would dare hurt him.

Ryuu and Nagi panicked. "NO! No violence please!" Ryuu wanted to intervene, but he was not sure how. Anyone could tell that Gaku was obviously trained in combat. Ryuu would never be able to touch him, let alone pin him to the ground. "Gaku-kun, that's too far!" He accidentally shouted in another accent. Nagi was more than capable when it came to self-defence. The downside was that he did not know how magic worked and could not put the people around him at risk if Gaku were to launch some sort of counterattack.

Gaku glared at Tenn. His anger could be seen through his red eyes. "YOU! You have no fucking idea how much my lord has sacrificed for the sake of his people, and now you are saying such treacherous things!" When Gaku raised his hand, ready to punch Tenn's face, Nagi and Ryuu steeled their hearts and jumped in to pull Gaku's arms. "Oi, let go of me!" Gaku struggled and shouted. Ryuu and Nagi were about to run out of strength when they heard the sound of the glass wall breaking.

"Gaku, that is enough!"

A young boy with red hair and a glowing yellow aura surrounding his body jumped off the back of the mighty white dragon who came to a stop at the high-up 'entrance' they forced open. The dragon's ice beam and the redhead's fireball were more than enough to destroy Silica's toughest glass. The dragon's body was too large to enter, so it transformed into a human and stood behind the red-haired man.
