Tohiko disappeared from the top of the tree. The members of the Viper stared at the tree doubtfully, whether Tohiko really disappeared or was just an illusion.

Homura tried to calm everyone down so as not to be affected further, and directed them to return to the headquarters.

"It looks like we won't win against him without doing anything about her perfume" Homura said staring into the sky outside the state palace.

They all got into the car and got ready to go home.

"Thank you for the visit, hopefully the perpetrators of this incident will meet quickly" one of the guards told Arizawa.

"Yes, I'm sorry if we made a noise while we were grieving" Arizawa said.

"No problem. By the way, is that person you met earlier the culprit? what's name?" ask Keeper.

"His name is Suzuwara Tohiko, but I'm not sure he's the killer. He doesn't look like he's carrying a gun at all and even his clothes look clean and shiny" Arizawa said as he turned on his car.

"Alright, I'll wait for the next news" the Guards bowed in salute to the Viper members.

"My head is so dizzy." complained Aizo while holding his forehead.

"They've all inhaled the perfume, their organs will long be infected as well. You should quickly do something about it" Cezo asked Homura.

"Just calm down, when you get to headquarters, please take care of all of them, yes. I want to do something about the perfume. I've got the sample" Homura said as he pointed out the empty plastic.

"When did you take that sample? Cezo surprised.

"Since Arizawa threw a very strong wind, it was also when the smell of the perfume she spread throughout the room. I took advantage of that moment to take her and put her in this plastic. Although only a little, but this can be very useful" explained Homura.

"It could be, you're great" Cezo praised.

After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the headquarters. Homura, Arizawa and Cezo helped all the members to be taken to their respective rooms.

"Oh yes, for Katsura to take her to my lab, I want to check about her emotions as well" Homura told Cezo who was holding the unconscious Katsura.

All the members were in their rooms, Homura started to research the perfume Tohiko wore.

As Homura researched the perfume, Arizawa and Cezo made an antidote for its poison.

"Oohh, so yes, okay I understand" exclaimed Homura finding something.

"What did you find?" tanya Arizawa and Cezo simultaneously.

"The ingredients contained in this perfume are synthetic chemicals, ammonia, hydrochloric acid, formaldehyde, and also all the properties that exist here are corrosive, which is able to damage all organs" said Homura.

"Wow, you're great, Homura! so we just need a neutralizing substance huh?" Cezo flicked his finger, as if knowing that it was a good solution.

"No. The corrosive substance is already working, we can not stop it, we have to reverse the rate of the substance. And only Katsura can do it" Homura said.

"So we'll wait for Katsura to wake up or what? then too long, maybe our partner's organs will be destroyed first" said Arizawa.

"You're right, so I'll wake Katsura up forcibly, hopefully it works" Homura said preparing the defibrillator.

...[.System Pressure Reach 360 Joule...

...KEEP PATIENT]...

Homura turned his tools on to Katsura, instantly making Katsura instantly wake up from his stupor.

"HAHHH" cried Katsura who was shocked.

"D-where am I?" Katsura turned around, "Well am I here? aren't we still in the state palace?" ask the confused Katsura.

"You lost control again, it seems like your emotional problems are very serious, Katsura" Homura said.

Katsura let out a short breath, looked down and shed tears.

"I was once again swept up in my emotions, so weak of myself huh, DAMN it!" ringis Katsura slowly lands while shedding tears.

"Calm Katsura... I'm here to help you" Homura tried to calm Katsura down.

"What about Feria? he's being caught, isn't he? I can't save her under these conditions, it's too sad to see her" Katsura sneered to herself.

"Calm down, he can't be killed right away, the enemy must have a plan for us to fall into his trap" Arizawa said, leaning against the wall.

"Arizawa was right, the enemy must have prepared a trap for us, be patient a little until I can make his perfume gas filter" Homura said.

Katsura was surprised, then asked, "Wait, can you do that?"

"Sure dong, I've got the gas that he uses to make perfume, I just want to make a tool that is able to withstand the effects of the substance. We won't be able to win against her if we don't do something about her perfume" Homura said.

"Yes, the perfume has a terrible power, confounding all the senses and even invading the internal organs" Cezo said.

"But I lost my time magic, burned by Nico back then" Katsura replied.

"No, it's not completely gone. it's missing just that protects you from the outside, try using it directly" Homura recalls.

"Alright, maybe it will help, I'll try now" Katsura closed her eyes, starting to focus on using her energy.

Katsura raised one hand up, bringing out a light green circle that circled the Viper headquarters.

Then Katsura turned her hand upside down. It turned out that Katsura was still able to use his time magic, which made all the infected Members instantly recover as they were.

Katsura opened her eyes and lay down.

"Bright.. Huhh... Tired once" Katsura sweated, his energy was also used up.

"Good job, Katsura. This way I can calm down to continue my experiment" Homura smiled.

"You can rest now, I will focus on making a tool that can filter his gas, after that we will attack their headquarters" Homura said again.

"Oh yeah, I'm forgetful, Arizawa, please trace the fingerprints you found back then" Homura said.

"All right"

...**** Somewhere Dark ****...

"Sir, I've brought one of their members"

"Good work, Tohiko, now just try to absorb the power"

"Well, sir" Tohiko nodded.

Feria was being tied up in the corner of the room, with her mouth covered. Tohiko took out a small white cube and prepared.

Feria was surprised and tried to escape, but still could not.

"Just be free, now give up all your magic" Tohiko turned on the device and absorbed all of Feria's magic energy. But, even though Feria could not use magic, the cube still absorbed something.

After finishing, Tohiko immediately gave the cube to her boss.

"This is sir, it's done"

"Good work, very good, let's see"

The cube emitted a bright red color, which meant that its contents were fire magic.

"Fire huh? no problem!"

"Let's see Viper, I'll get you guys back"

...2 Days Passed...

Katsura was sitting in his room, watching a nature documentary.

"Hmm so that's what to do if stung by a jellyfish, interesting as well yes, rarely do I see such treatment.

*Tok-tok-tok

The sound of knocking on the door from outside Katsura's room.

"Come in"

Homura walked in, carrying some equipment that Katsura had never seen, from his appearance like a mask that could filter Tohiko's gas.

"From the looks of it, it looks like you made it, huh?" ask Katsura.

"Of course, dong. See, this tool can filter out all toxic gases, more like a mask anyway, but in order not to interfere with vision, I can make this tool disappear using Innoservato material" explained Homura.

"Well, you're really reliable!" praise Katsura.

"Thank you, but I'm not done yet" Homura showed me one more item, a necklace with green stones at the center.

"What's that?" ask Katsura.

"This is a restraint necklace, which I made specially for you. As the name implies, this necklace can limit you when the mode gets out of control, but only for 2 minutes, after 2 minutes then this necklace will respond and issue my neutralizing magic" urai Homura clearly.

"Your out-of-control mode I can neutralize with my magic, so your next mission is to save Feria, of course you can go berserk, but remember, the limit is only 2 minutes, make sure you've saved him and run away. We have also found the location of Tohiko" explained Homura again.

"Well, 2 minutes seems like enough, I'll take it!" reply Katsura seriously.

Seriate...
