Hell of Tickle and Pain

Straight to video. In order to protect his beloved best friend, Red Forest Mio, a female college student who was given the power to transform into a magical masked warrior, Windy Mai, who was given the power to transform from the goddess Bartena to the magical mask warrior Windia, continued to fight against the monster led by the witch Novara. Novara continues to defeat the demon, but succeeds in capturing Windia and violently interrogates him to find out how he got the power. In Windia, who does not give in to pain, Novara captures Mio and turns it into a demonous luza, and makes Windia blames it. Knowing that Windydia's weakness is tickling, Luza blames Windy for tickling. Is there a way to reverse the way to turn over, who can blame not only the body but also the mind not only by the body but also by the monster who was a dear best friend?
