[The room you step into looks like it could be a miniature ballroom, complete with stained glass windows and vast, ornate mirrors.

Your team's column is set into one wall, easily accessible but as impregnable as ever. One of the mirrors may prove almost as interesting, if you can tear your eyes away from your trapped teammate. Through it, you are somehow able to see every other team's column and what is inside, though nothing beyond that.

The floor beneath your feet polished, patterned wood, inlaid with the pattern of a grand sundial in your team's colors. In the center of the pattern stands a pedestal, upon which sits a collection of colorful glass ornaments. It looks like there's room for other items, but there's nothing else to be found just yet . . . ]

I accept your offer.

[A shard appears on the pedestal.]

Prick the skin above your heart with this, and concentrate on your skill.

[ nodding, before taking the shard. He looks at it for a bit, then he takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and does as instructed ]

[As he concentrate, the shard begins to glow brighter and brighter. He can feel the skill leaving him . . . and when it's gone, the shard vanishes.]

[ somehow the lack of it feels really weird and sad

but eh, at least this is done ]

. . .

[ smiling at him!! and then doing a victory sign ]

I did this one, princess!

Thanks, D. Owe you.

It's payback for earlier. We can do it!

[ I'm going to eat her ]

What was that?

I said it, it was song magic!

That did not make it any clearer. How do you feel?

Weird...

Even if I hadn't used it at all.

We shall find a way to retrieve it somehow.

Y-yeah ... it's not a big deal though.

It is rightfully yours and so it is only natural to recover it.

Let's win all games.
