The next morning, everyone went out to search for Moa, who had been sucked into the extradimensional vortex.
Ruoxue and Pega stayed behind at the base. Ruoxue could move around freely by now, but she was still not allowed to engage in strenuous activity, so Xiaoluo had told her to stay put.
Zero and Zena formed one group, while Riku, Xiaoluo, and Toba Raiha searched the mountains together.
After talking with Kuruto, Aisaki Moa had managed to shift his stubborn obsession just a little bit. At that exact moment, the Saigoru summoner on Kuruto's wrist suddenly emitted a blue light.
Seeing this, Kuruto immediately stood up and bolted. Aisaki Moa stumbled along behind him, shouting, "Kuruto! Wait! Kuruto!"
As the two of them reached an open clearing, the figures of Zena and Zero suddenly appeared in front of Kuruto. Upon seeing them, Kuruto instinctively turned to run back the other way, but before he could even look over his shoulder, he heard Riku's voice.
"Moa!" Riku rushed to Moa's side, hastily checking to make sure she wasn't injured, and then pulled her behind him.
"Zena!" Kuruto spat out angrily.
