[Third Person's PoV]
Silent Night
There was no sound, noise, not even the sound of falling water
There were only boys and girls sitting together, who couldn't even look at each other, and started asking questions
"um…how are you in the demon forest?"
asked Stella
"feels like hell"
he answered in a weak tone
"Sorry about that..."
"About what?"
Kamiya tilted his head and wondered.
"about making you shoulder the burdens all of us"
Stella felt guilty for all of this for not being able to shoulder the responsibility herself
it wasn't Kamiya who should have been there, but her
"If...if you can't stand it, it's fine, you can stop.... and let me take that responsibility"
For humans, doing this continuously without rest would only lead to death, but Stella was different.
Vampires have a higher regeneration than Humans, as long as they receive blood, and that is all fulfilled by Loki
Also, Kamiya had become her friend, which made Stella feel worse about herself even more
"I will talk to Loki-sama, and then you can fire-"
"It's fine...."
"uh?"
an unexpected answer, even though he had been offered a good thing, he rejected it
"I'm.....alright"
Fatigue overcame Kamiya relentlessly, naturally, he started to daze and talk nonsense
"What do you mean fine, see, even now you're in a daze"
chatter came out from Stella's mouth, however, Kamiya paid no attention to her chatter and continued to speak as he wants
"I'm fine...I'm sure...to protect everyone..."
only pitying glances were directed at him, his state was no longer one to speak of
"Take a break, I'll replace you tomorrow."
"..."
no answer
"are...you sleeping?"
"...to...protect you"
"...what..."
confused by what this person was saying, Stella just sighed
"Come on, I'll lay you down."
Stella handheld Kamiya's shoulder and wanted to push him to lie down, but Kamiya held her hand before she pushed him away.
"I... want to protect... everyone..."
And he began to fall asleep.
Sleep well, like you haven't slept in a long time
"Hold on..... I promise I'll get you out of here"
melodious whisper, bringing sweet dreams to anyone who hears it
make tonight the first sign of the liberation plan.

One Year
It had been a year since the kidnapping occurred, and Kamiya who was tasked with being heavier than the children in the Lab was getting used to it, however, it was only temporary.
the easier he feels, then Loki will add more to his tasks and targets
at least, it was still something he could handle on his own
His magic control and comprehension were already higher, and his strength increased greatly
As for demonic power, he started training it when he had the time because it was painful for magic and demonic power to collide when activated.
however, the thing he was looking for the most was a way to return to the realm where Aria was
No matter how many times he puts himself in danger, he still can't get there
Apart from that, Stella, Leon, and Rexa started planning an escape route
For Sienna, she was getting along well with people and of course with Kamiya, or maybe with Kamiya she was a bit clingy
"feels like I have a little sister"
His said.

.
Two Years
Their age is nine years.
Slowly, Kamiya can control his demonic power and can make various custom magic
like Demonic Infusion for coating his sword with demonic magic, and making it sharper to fight against monsters
This was the moment he would hunt in large numbers because lately, Fallen Angels had started roaming the Demon forest for quite some time
Stella is getting more proficient with her sword, Leon is starting to have a well-thought-out escape plan, and Rexa….I guess he's still the same
Sienna also began to develop her magic talent, she got Kamiya's direction, or originally from Aria because it was direction that came from her.
and something was surprising, namely Reen, the girl who was initially indifferent to them began to enter the group
the reason was that she was getting sick with all of this, and wanted to go back as soon as possible to meet her family
unexpected thing, but the more people the better
.

Three Years
As a result of Loki's experiments, Kamiya slowly began to lose his emotions and expressions, feeling empty
The training and experimentation from time to time tired him out, and perhaps even the stabbing pain in the stomach was nothing big a problem
Only Sienna cried over him, and Stella further accelerated her plan because she couldn't stand seeing Kamiya suffer any more than this
the smile she always saw before was fading away, there are only human beings without feelings, or we can call, dolls
it feels weird because in the past people who liked to break the silence like Rexa started to become silent
And as for Leon, he began to strengthen his physique and knowledge to be useful
Reen not doing anything in particular, just slowly, she started glancing at Kamiya with pity and sometimes taking care of him alternately with Stella and Sienna
.

.
Four Years
and for this, the day when their release plan will be successful or not will be determined.
