BANG!
"W–Who are you?!"
Rain's voice trembled as the group burst in without warning.
No answer came.
Of course it didn't. If they planned on introducing themselves, they wouldn't have hidden their faces behind crude black masks.
"Stay behind me, Rain."
"Y–Yes!"
Whatever their goal was, one thing was clear—Rain was just an ordinary civilian. If this turned violent, she'd be the first to get hurt.
I summoned my sword from the Dream Orb, the familiar weight forming in my hand, and leveled it toward the intruders.
"That's one hell of an entrance," I said coldly. "State your business."
Instead of responding, the masked men raised their swords in unison.
…So that's how it is.
Silence hung heavy in the air, taut like a drawn bowstring.
Then—
"Subdue them!"
"Haah!"
They rushed us all at once.
About ten of them.
I acted immediately.
I applied magnetic force to the two in the lead.
THUD!
"Argh!"
