Chapter 10

"What are you doing, you guys──────!"

Manac's tongue clicked, and Guen didn't miss it.

Of course,

Ambus's irritated face...

Regina's cold eyes...

He knew their next move──…………!

"It's no good. Liz──"

Even these guys, after all these years.

Especially Manac...

"Shut up, errand boy!"

"Don't kill him yet, Ambus."

Manac stops Ambus from making a second strike.

Seeing his eyes, Guen was certain.

Manac's personality, the current situation, and Guen's intuition...

That's why he knew.

That's why he figured it out──────.

That's right.

These guys are...

"...gufu. Run, Liz!!"

"Shut up, I said!!"

With a thud, Guen's head was hit, and his consciousness began to fade.

Even as he fell weakly, he reached out to Liz with a dazed look...

Run...

"Alright, I'm done with this, it's too troublesome───Restraint Spell!"

"What?! You!"

The black vines crawled out of the darkness, attacking Liz.

It was obvious who they belonged to.

The holy magic restraint spell───meaning it was Regina's magic!

And it was aimed at the still struggling Liz...

"Ga... What...!?"

Entangled by the vines, her magic power restrained her.

But amidst the tingling sensation of a slight electric current, Liz tried to ready her weapon but couldn't move!

"Hmph... Truly unbelievable fools. –Especially this one. We're done here, let's leave her behind to seal her mouth."

Regina, with her cold eyes, spat at Guen in a chilling voice.

Then,

"Alright, Manac, let's go. Two live baits are enough. Hurry up and gather the gear."

"O-Okay... Hey, Ambus, Sheila, let's go!"

"I-I know!"

Ambus gathered the gear as instructed and prepared to flee.

And Sheila was...

"What are you doing, Sheila! Hurry up and go! Get the gear!"

Thud! Sheila, pushed with a small backpack, stumbled and looked ahead.

Then,

She glanced at Guen...

"A────"

She hesitated, looking forward once more, but without turning back───yet, she glanced at Guen one last time...

(Sh- Sheila───You can't be serious?!)

"..."

In the end,

──Go.

"......I'm going now."

"Huh?"

Sheila?!

"......Sh- Sheila, Sheila───!"

No way, right...?

Guen, bloodied, reached out to Sheila.

Are you leaving me behind,────.

"Sorry..."

《Gishaaaaa!!!》

"Ah!"

"Whoa?!"

Manac and the others screamed.

"Let's go! Hurry!"

Regina took the lead, sprinting like a hare.

Then,

Manac, Ambus──────Sheila.

"Sorry, sorry! Sorry, Guen!!"

Sheila, showing tears but shaking her head, finally ran.

But she paused for a moment,

"Sorry!!"

She dropped the gear, took out a few potions, and hurriedly ran over.

"Hey! Wait! Sheila───"

"Sorry!!"

She handed the potions to Guen, made him hold them, and then... "Sorry, sorry!!" and left, finally running away!!

"A..."

Ah...

Ah───.

Ah,

That guy.

That guy!!

"──That guy!!"
