This is not how he wanted his escape from the Serena Eterna to go. He doesn't want to be at the mercy of some unknown group, doesn't want to get involved in their magical space conflict. He doesn't want to go to the Sixth either - to stay on yet another ship.

But this is the situation, and Natsuno will deal with it like always. First, pass the next two days without getting murdered.
