-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.

"Na... Nanase-sama..!"

~~

-Majabah, the Nanase Mansion-

"Whoa! Hold it right there, Ichi."

Yamato ran after the high school boy who quickly walked out of the mansion room. "Where are you going?" The older man grabbed Iori's wrist.

"Please let go of me, Nikaido-san." Iori looked at Yamato's face with teary eyes. "Nii-san could still be out there."

"I don't think you should leave." Momo and Yuki were the next to follow. There was concern shown on their faces. "I know how you feel. Trust me, but we don't know what's out there. It's dangerous, that's for sure." Yuki tried to convince Iori that it was a bad idea.

"Let's wait until the head maid comes back. After that, we can go look together?" Momo glanced at Yuki, who nodded in approval.

Iori sighed. He might as well gather some information if he could not go out to look for his Nii-san now. "Sunohara-san, you said you knew Nii-san right?"

Momo hesitated slightly, thinking about how he first met Mitsuki. "U-um yeah. We are both serving Nanase-sama so-"

Iori frowned. He did not like what he was hearing at all. He had all the scenarios running in his head: the Nanase forced his beloved Nii-san to do all sorts of hard labour work. He was infuriated when he thought about how a respected doctor had to take strict orders from a cruel lord who had coldly disowned one of his children simply because of a lack of magic power. His Nii-san's life was under the Nanase's control. Iori could not accept that. "You are saying Nii-san was being used?" The high school boy spoke with a shaky voice. Momo flinched upon hearing those words.

"No, Iori. Choosing to serve Nanase-sama was my decision."

The youngest's eyes widened upon hearing the familiar voice. Iori knew who that was without having to turn around to see the voice owner's face. Yamato's mouth hung agape as the vision before him seemed too unreal to be true.

An orange-haired boy and a blond woman stood a few metres away from the other four. "sniffle." The shorter man started to cry seeing his little brother in good health. "Iori *sob* I-I'm so glad you're okay."

It should have been a happy moment for everyone. For some reason, there was horror in the other four faces. Yuki covered his mouth. Momo held his breath without knowing he did while Iori gasped loudly. Yamato sweatdropped. He pointed at his old friend and spoke. "M-Mitsu...where is your leg?"

Mitsuki had his right arm around Tsumugi's waist. The maid seemed to be depressed. No one had to explain why. Mitsuki's right leg was gone, with only a short part of his thigh remaining. The doctor wiped his tears and smiled, even though he wanted to cry out loud for many reasons. "W-why do you look at me like that? I am okay. I've only lost a leg." His shaky voice told the opposite story.

Once everyone sat down on the floor inside a room in the mansion, Mitsuki told them what happened. When he was crying in the forest where the whirlwind was fast approaching, his Beastmaster power activated. A few small animals could hear Mitsuki's cry and braved themselves to rush into a town to call for help. Luckily, Tsumugi took a hint and quickly followed the animals to find Mitsuki wrapping his arms around a tree and biting his lips in excruciating pain.

"My knee was shattered," Mitsuki continued. "It would have taken too long for white magic to mend the tiny pieces of broken bone completely, and the whirlwind would have caught up to us." Tsumugi said her apology again. "So..." Mitsuki took a deep breath. The sensation he felt at that moment came back to him, and he wanted to vomit. "I-I told Tsumugi to..to..cut my leg off and..."

"Nii-san, that's enough." Iori wept with his head resting on Mitsuki's chest. Mitsuki had never seen Iori so out of control like this ever since they had lost their parents.

"It's okay, Iori. It's okay." Mitsuki ruffled his little brother's hair with a lot of care. His tears were rolling down non-stop too. They had missed each other so much. "Hopefully I can get a mechanical leg in Silica." Mitsuki was not sure if he was saying that to help ease Iori's or his own pain. Oh, and yes, Tsumugi had made sure everyone knew about the situation around them. Otoharu, Sousuke, and their men were trying their best to solve any problems within Majabah's border. Majabah could not act without a lord, who was not present right now.

When he heard about what Yamato and Iori were trying to do at Silica's Rainbow Hill, Mitsuki buried his head in his hands. "Oh no no no no no what have you guys done?"

Momo's nice nature was immediately activated, and it made Yuki's heart bloom. "Well, it's understandable, right? Since you don't know that, um, lowering the wall's 'energy' would make the whole world go... boom! And, and even if you didn't do it, this could happen anyway with the keeper being out so of control."

After everyone was calm enough thanks to Momo's positive cheer, they agreed to stay focused on going forward and discussed their next steps. Mitsuki and the Majabahns did not want to think about what would happen once Gaku and Riku learned about what the Silicans did. "I'm pretty sure Nanase-sama and Yaotome will return. So in the meantime," Mitsuki put his hand on his chin, deep in thought. He took the lead on this plan without realising it. "I would love to go back to Silica to get a mechanical leg myself, but I can't walk" After all, Tsumugi helped rescue Mitsuki using her powerful object manipulation magic. The doctor also mentioned that he wanted some inhalers. Iori could not understand why. No one here seemed to be having a respiratory problem. Then again, he could just ask his brother later.

Yamato could tell Iori wanted to stay with his brother, so he was about to volunteer when Momo got to it first. "I'll go with Yuki!" Momo raised his right hand energetically. His left arm took hold of Yuki's. "I wanna see what it's like there." The geomancer's eyes lit up. Yuki did not seem to mind Momo's decision at all. Yamato could not help but wonder how the two got so close within such a short time.

Everything was settled except for one thing that was bugging Mitsuki, so he questioned Yuki while handing the guy his ID for the hospital. "Wait... aren't you Yuki-san from Re:vale? No, you ARE Re:vale's Yuki-san! I'm your fan!!!" However, Yuki only gave Mitsuki a sad smile in return. "Ah, thank you, Mitsuki-kun. I'm afraid Re:vale is disbanded."

"EHHHHH?!?!?" Not believing what he was hearing, Mitsuki asked further questions. "How come? You guys were doing so well though??"

Yuki kept his sad smile. "My partner, Ban, died in an accident, so there is no more Re:vale"

While Mitsuki was offering his condolences, Momo could not help but wonder what they were talking about. Partner? Re:vale?

And he was determined to find out more about it.

-Silica, SkySilica-

Riku walked forward. Each step he took was so graceful that no one had to elaborate that he was someone important.

"Silicans." Riku made eye contact with Nagi and Ryuu. "I apologise for my servant's humiliating display." Riku smiled, though it was not pure, and his amber eyes glowed even more. Riku was totally in character as the mighty lord of Majabah who was feared by the people. "May I ask you to release him? I assure you he will be punished accordingly. "

Ryuu sweatdropped. He was the first to unhand Gaku. The lord of Majabah looked so young yet so terrifying and what was even more terrifying was that he could not tell why. And what was the boy behind the lord, a dragon??? Tenn also shared the same eyes as Ryuu. He had never seen his twin brother so mighty and influential. Something about him was off, and he could not pinpoint what it was.

Nagi seemed to be the only one who could keep his composure. Well, some of it anyway. "Certainly, but if I may ask your lordship, your servant seems to have gone through a very traumatic experience. Please keep his punishment light." Nagi let Gaku go. The butler immediately got down on one knee and bowed his head. So did Tenn.

"Oh?" Riku raised his eyebrow to show he was interested in Nagi. "Who might you be?" The redhead hated acting this way, but he knew he did not have a choice when tradition had to come first, and he was 'overseas'.

"Allow me to introduce myself, your lordship." Nagi put one hand on his chest and bowed to Riku. "I am Nagi Valhart von Northmare, the current Regulator of Silica. Our world has no ruling lord. Now, if I may be so bold, I am capable of making decisions for our people in times of need such as this."

Riku seemed pleased with Nagi's representation as he gave the beautiful Regulator a reserved smile. "Very well, Nagi. As you are aware, I am the high lord of Majabah, Nanase Riku. Now if you will excuse me for a minute," Riku turned around and cast white magic to heal the cut on Tenn's face.

"I thank you for your kindness, High lord Nanase-sama." Tenn spoke, taking care not to grit his teeth. No, he did not mind being inferior to Riku, but every part of his body wanted to lunge at the boy and hug him tightly. Riku smiled briefly at his twin brother before turning back to speak with Nagi.

Nagi let Riku see the view of how the two worlds connect, then proceeded to explain how he wished to make an announcement that would need Riku's cooperation. Riku, of course, accepted the proposal. We all know by now that he would do anything for his people.

Riku watched curiously while Nagi was preparing some equipment, including an enormous voice amplifier. He was trying so hard to tell his childish side not to go "Waaah" or "What is that?!". Luckily for him, Tamaki was the one doing that. Ryuu, being a nice big brother, explained everything to Tamaki in detail.

Gaku was dying to know how Riku was here right now. He understood now was not the time for questions, so he stayed quiet and waited for any order his lord may have had for him.

Once the preparation was ready, Nagi and Riku stood in front of a stand with a microphone on top. Nagi was the first to start by introducing himself and gathering the attention of the people in both Silica and Majabah. Specifically, he focused on speaking to the Silicans. "With Silica being a world of science, it may be hard for us Silicans to accept the existence of magic, yet the unexpected has happened. The best way would be for us to accept reality and keep moving forward together. Majabah does not mean to do us harm, so I would like to ask the people of Silica to be kind to them now that some parts of our worlds are connected."

Most people from Silica stopped what they were doing to listen to the announcement. While they were not obliged to follow Nagi's request, they had never been at war. They knew they would not stand a chance against the people from Majabah, who seemed to be armed with both weapons and magic. They would choose to keep the peace over anything. In fact, Silica being a scientific world made the people quite curious by nature. Many Silicans wanted to learn more about the new world and new people that had just appeared before them, but fear had conquered their hearts until Nagi's speech helped ease their minds.

However, the people of Majabah were confused. They searched around to find where the voice was coming from. They, including Yaotome Sousuke, saw this announcement as a threat until they heard another voice take over it.

"People of Majabah, I am your high lord, Nanase Riku."

Immediately, the magic users gasped in shock, went on their knees, and bowed their heads to the ground. No one would dare claim to be a Nanase, so they believed it really was their lord speaking. The Silicans who got to Majabah were pretty surprised by that display.

"I assure you all that Nagi and I have met and spoken. I shall respect Silica's tradition, and I trust my people will do the same. In return, I ask that Silicans respect our rules while you are in Majabah. Regardless of your birthplace, those who commit crimes in Majabah shall not be tolerated."

Most Majabahns took heed and spoke "yes, high lord Nanase-sama" in their shaky voices. Yaotome and Otoharu understood their new duty: to make sure the Silicans were welcomed.

To end the speech, Riku and Nagi exchanged a glance before speaking together. "Peace shall be kept between our worlds."

The Silicans clapped their hands to show they were happy with their Regulator's decision.

Nagi turned off the mic. "Looks like it went well, your lordship." He gave an energetic thumbs-up. Tenn facepalmed hard. He could not believe this blond was the same person who came up with the peace treaty.

"Please, Riku is fine." Riku gave a reserved smile to show Nagi had earned his trust, when in fact, Riku did not really have any doubts about him the moment they met. "Now, I must return to Majabah. We both have problems to be solved, have we not?" Riku referred to the restoration of the towns.

"OH wait!" Nagi grabbed Riku's wrist, making Gaku stand on his feet with his shuriken ready. Ryuu gulped. He just could not get used to it. The butler relaxed and put away his weapon only when Nagi made a fantastic offer. Nagi said Silica's construction AI could help greatly speed up building restoration and could easily copy Majabahn's building structures, so he wanted to offer that help. Gaku did not believe it when Nagi said all buildings in both worlds could be restored in two days' time. Tenn managed to convince Gaku that it was true and that he had seen it with his own eyes when Silica District One was destroyed.

Riku accepted the offer with heartfelt gratitude. In return, Riku agreed to send some white magic users to heal people who suffered physical injuries to reduce Silica hospitals' workload.

Just before Riku left the place with Tamaki and Gaku, he turned to face his twin brother, who remained still. "Tenn, will you not return with us?"

Tenn's eyes widened. He did not think he would be invited back to the very same mansion he was kicked out of. Tenn turned sad when he thought about Iori. He did not know what happened to the boy and if he was okay. At the same time, he wanted to spend some time with Riku. Ryuu took a hint that Tenn was conflicted. The man walked forward to place his warm hand on the boy's shoulder. "Tenn-kun, you should go. I'll search for Iori-kun while I look for my husband."

"YES! Don't worry!" Nagi got his crazy self back. "I'll help too! Leave Silica to us! You are welcome back at any time!"

With that, Tenn thanked the two and joined Riku, thinking he would look for Iori in Majabah while reminding himself to be careful about his magic limit.
