'It's alright…' Seiji indicated that to the others with his expression.

Miyabi was the second to reach out her hand. Following after her, Nomura and the others reached out with their hands as well.

After the globe absorbed some mist from all of them, it began to buzz. On the lower half of the device, the three-legged stand, many mystical runes started to glow red.
