Among the fourth and third-year students poisoned by the monster, one boy remained conscious, “Chi-kun,” the plain-looking senior who excels in earth attributes, was reaching his limit.
He was desperately gathering mana to maintain the ground, but his magic was mixing with the poison magic. The magic left from the plain senior breaks one after another, and the ground which was barely kept in balance, is screaming.
「Everyone retreat! The nest is collapsing! Get away from the nest as far as possible!!」
Guild officials ran carrying students who were still unconscious from the poison. They managed to rescue every one of them, but the students in the nest were still unknown.
「Lina-sama and the girls are keeping Alec safe」
The word “request failed’ flashed through their mind as the nest collapsed, but the staff were much more concerned for Alec’s safety.
■
「Where did Alec go?」
「Mana…My magic lost response.」
Lina and the girls were chasing after the magic substance on Alec, but the uniform and weapons were destroyed by the poison monster, and the mana spreading inside the nest disrupting magic caused it to collapse, causing them to lose track of him.
「Hmmm, this way?」
Only the ring handed to Alec had remained undestroyed, and they were scurrying around the nest looking for the slightest trace of magic coming from the ring.
「It would’ve been easier if we destroyed the nest」
「Can’t you just freeze them all and melt the parts we need?」
The time spent without their beloved irritates them. Just as they were about to tear the walls and floor themselves, earth and sand came falling above Lina and the girls.
The collapse had finally begun.
「Yes! We have no issues destroying this nest now! Mira! Tell me where! I’ll burn everything else down!」
「Give me a moment. I think it’s over there, but the distance is vague, so give me a bit more」
「I’ll freeze the ceiling! Lina, do it!」
Mira the dowser, Lina the excavator, and Nasha, the reinforcer, work together to dig the nest. It took them time, but they were steadily approaching Alec.
It’s like they’re forgetting something, but it’s probably not an issue.
Perhaps some other Kiryu were buried in the collapsed nest, but they’ll probably do something because they’re uselessly sturdy.

Well then.
The collapse reached the Queen, and now everyone’s curled up in the dumpling shelter Emily and the twins managed to make. Yeah, the monsters are with us.
Why is the monster not moving?! I mean, since the beast has attribute magic, it could just blow off the soil and sand with its magic, right?
But that’s impossible. The monster has a special attribute. Its magic is a poison attribute, similar to Ceres-mama’s life attribute.
I think it’s been mentioned before that Kiryu’s attribute magic is good at destruction, but conversely, Ceres-mama’s life attribute magic has no physical destructive power. Likewise, this poisonous monster can’t do physical destruction.
So, if we break this shelter, we’ll also be buried in the earth pushing in. I guess it’s quiet because it knows that.
Well, the other reason is I could punish the monster if it gets out of control. Its poison doesn’t work on me, and if I beat it up, I’ll win due to the difference in magic.
There’s no other way to get rid of the soil overhead but for Emily-chan and the girls to blow it away, but they can’t get mana because they’re affected by the poison magic. In the end, we had no choice but to curl up in our small shelter.
「Uuu, how did this happen? I thought I could win the match and become an idol, but to think that I’d die under this rubble without anyone knowing. I knew it was a mistake for me to try to be an idol…」
Then, Emily-chan’s been so pessimistic and noisy since a while ago.
Furthermore, Emily-chan’s also has on bad influence on Luvis-chan and Safira-chan.
「Sorry, Luvis, this wouldn’t have happened if I was more reliable. I’m sorry for being such a useless sister」
「Onee-chan, you’re being annoying」
They’re weeping because they can’t do anything. The monster’s also been looking scornfully.
「I guess I have to pitch in and help」
「Huh? Do you have something?」
「Yeah. I have an idea」
Well, waiting for rescue is one thing. I have borrowed magic tools for purifying the air and producing water from the guild.
I have no choice but to do it like this because I’m afraid these two will despair and break down before that happens. It’s an emergency so we have no choice.
「Emily-chan, Safira-chan, Luvis-chan! There’s one way to get out of here! I’ll be supplying you girls with mana, so blow away the earth using un-poisoned magic.
「Supply us with magic? Is that even possible?」
「Don’t worry, there’s a way! That method is…」
Yes. It’s the hidden legendary—
「’Sex!’ The act of receiving the male’s magic in the female’s magic palace and turning it into their magic! In short, we can’t leave the room unless we have sex」
“A room where you can’t leave unless you have sex” begins!
