To the Rescue!

"You found her?!"

I beamed immediately after hearing such great news.

"Then let's go!"

"But..."

However, Ember didn't open a portal immediately and instead frowned hard. I got a foreboding feeling watching her complex expression.

"Don't tell me; she's getting tortured?"

Ansael, who was close by, asked with a weird expression. She looked like... she's envious?

"No."

Ember quickly denied it, however.

"It's that she's located deep into the enemy territory, and I can only teleport us at certain points where their defenses against teleportation are weak."

"..."

That really is bad news. In short, even if we rush in to save her, we'll still need to face off against those on standby over there. And what's worse, in their home ground!

"What's their force like?"
