‘Yu… Bi… Br…’
“Hn? Hnn…?”
“What is it, big brother?”
“Something’s stranger I can’t really hear…”
The voice on the other side came in intermittently, like the connection was not good.
But Yuugo was also puzzled because the voice on the other side was not Setsuna’s and sounded quite flustered, so himself and the others listened closely.
‘Ever… Down… Raiha… Now…’
“…Yui? Is that you, Yui? What happened!?”
Ryuuga’s expression changed and he yelled when he realized it was his sister’s voice.
Everyone turned pale when that was followed by the sound of an explosion. One upside was that the explosion seemed to have made it so they could hear her properly, but what they heard were Yui’s desperate screams.
‘Big brother! Yuugo! Please respond!!’
“Yui! We can hear you! What happened!?”
Ryuuga also yelled, feeling panicked, but… It seemed she could not hear him.
Both panicked in this situation where the communications were one sided, and Yui continued yelling as the sounds of a battle could be heard in the background.
‘It was all a set up! This transportation was a trap!! Raiha and the others are fighting but… It’s too strong! At this rate, we’re all going down!’
“Yui! Who are you fighting!? What is going on!? Yui! Yui!!”
‘Big brother, help…!! Please hurry!!’
“Yui! Yui! Yui!!”
The transmission was cut, meaning the whole picture of what was going on over there was a mystery to everyone.
Ryuuga gripped the communication device tightly in his hand after hearing his sister’s screams for help, and turned to Angel with bloodshot eyes.
“Where are they right now!?”
“Not far east from here! They didn’t get that far!”
Angel confirmed the reaction of the transmitter in the communication device, and responded.
Ryuuga stood up, but Marcos stopped him before he rushed out of the room.
“Where are you going alone!? You don’t even have your magic item!”
“Don’t ask me questions! Or try to stop me… I’m going to save my sister!”
Marcos asked what he intended to do unarmed, and Ryuuga gave the usual response.
He completely lost his cool, and while Melt and the others were overpowered by the pressure exuding from him, Yuugo took it head on and spoke.
“…Ryuuga, take Skull. It should get there quickly.”
“Yuugo! Don’t you get it!? Ryuuga isn’t…!!”
“Didn’t Zenon say Yui had Ryuuga’s sword… If he can meet up with Yui, it will be fine, because she has the Loong King Fang.”
Yuugo convinced Marcos with the information he just received, and turned to Ryuuga.
He tapped his shoulder, and spoke with a confident look.
“If it was Phi in trouble, I’d do the same. I’m not gonna stop you, but be careful. We’ll bring reinforcements, so hold on until then.”
“…Yes, I got it. I’ll be taking your horse.”
Ryuuga nodded, and left before the others.
Yuugo looked on, thinking Ryuuga should go after his sister, and gave instructions to the others.
“Let’s ask Jinba and Mister Castle for backup. They should understand. Phi, stay here and be our contact…”
“Wait big brother! I’m going too! I know it’s dangerous, but my friend is in danger! I can’t just sit here!!”
It was dangerous to take Phi when they were not sure what was going on.
Yuugo told him to stay in the safety of the school like always, and was a little thrown off by his refusal.
“Don’t be selfish, Phi! We don’t know if we can protect you. We can’t take you to a place like…!”
“But…!!”
Phi did not back down even after Angel argued.
Yuugo sighed a little at this rare rebellion, and responded.
“Phi… An is right. We don’t even know what’s going on over there. We might not be able to fight and protect you.”
“I know!! But I…!!”
“So… Protect Yui if needed. Take her with Skull to a safe place.”
“Eh…!?”
Phi was not expecting that response, but all the others were just as surprised.
Melt was surprised that Yuugo was agreeing to take him to a dangerous area, and turned to him with a flustered tone.
“A-are you serious!? You’re taking Phi…!?”
“Hero condition number six, always go running if a friend is in danger. I can’t say no when I was the one who taught him that.”
He said while patting Phi on the head.
It seemed his cute little brother had grown since he met someone new… And Yuugo smiled as he turned to the others.
“Let’s hurry and save Yui and the others!”
