“Is that medical team coming or what? I want Yuugo to be treated soon…”
“It’s fine. They should look after the others first.”
“Fufufu… You’re both very kind.”
Yuugo and Ryuuga searched for a medical team a little far from the others, and looked a little embarrassed about what Raiha said.
Their eyes moved all over as they tried to disguise it, until Yuugo’s landed on something.
“Hn…?”
There were people being rescued from the hospital, guards doing the rescuing, and people related to the ones locked inside.
It was a big mess with many people, but one stood out to Yuugo as not belonging there.
(Egos? Why is he here…?)
Egos Cutman advanced slowly through the crowd, and his presence surprised Yuugo the moment he spotted him.
Why was he there after leaving Luminous Academy? Yuugo continued watching, and thought his movements were strange.
It was his way of walking. It was as though he was not avoiding others, he simply kept walking forward like a doll.
Yuugo got a bad feeling about this, and when he saw Yui and Phi were in the direction he was going, the hair all over his body stood up.
“Phi! Yui! Get away from there!”
“Eh…?”
He had no idea why, much less evidence, but he was sure Egos was after them.
He had to warn them of the incoming danger, so he yelled to them, but… Egos switched from his lax pace and approached them quickly.
“Yui!!”
Egos held up his weapon of choice, an axe.
Phi and Yui looked as though they had no idea what was happening, as he stood behind them and was about to swing down with the axe held up high, and Ryuuga yelled.
They were too far. Yuugo and Ryuuga looked on with their eyes wide open in despair, but then…
“Gyah!?”
“Wha…!?”
Lightning ran straight towards Egos.
The golden glitter pierced egos as he was about to attack them, and the impact blew him away. He screamed as he rolled on the floor.
Melt and the others, the guards, the onlookers that had gathered… Everyone looked on with surprise at Egos.
Only two were looking elsewhere. Yuugo and Ryuuga ran not towards where lightning struck, but where it came from.
“Ahh, ahh…!”
“Raiha… Was that…?”
Yuugo asked with a trembling voice as he realized it was Raiha who unleashed that lightning.
If she had used magic or a magic item to unleash that attack, he would not be so shaken, but… He saw her firing lightning from her mouth.
At the same time, the asymmetrical hair in front of Raiha’s face moved, exposing her right eye. Yuugo could not hold his surprise as he saw it.
Raiha’s right eye was not human, it was that of a reptile like a snake or a frog.
The skin around her eye was cracked, looking almost like scales.
But that was not quite right. Raiha’s right eye was not that of a reptile… It was a dragon’s.
Yuugo felt this instinctively, and struggled with what to say to her. But he gulped as he felt something terrifying that made him shiver. Something like a penetrating cold.
“…When I saved you… When that guy lying there was trying to assault you…”
“Ryuuga…?”
The air around Ryuuga, who supported Yuugo with his shoulder, was clearly different.
Cold, sharp, as if exuding an ominous bloodlust. Yuugo looked on with surprise, as what he suddenly said did not seem to match the situation, but he continued speaking to Raiha.
“I was at a loss for words when I looked at your chest. It was a big sword wound. Answer me one thing, how did you get that wound?”
“…”
When Egos assaulted Raiha, her clothes were torn and her chest was exposed, which showed a big scar to Ryuuga.
If it were a normal scar, he would not have thought anything of it, but… He immediately realized something.
“I wouldn’t mistake it. That sword cut was done with my father’s blade. Answer me, Raiha Utsusemi. How were you struck by my father?”
“…!”
Raiha faced down, and her tightly clenched fists trembled.
Ryuuga kept looking at her with a sharp glare,with his normally gentle attitude nowhere to be seen as he pressed her with a violent air around him.
“…I’m right, aren’t I? You… You were…!!”
“…Yes, it’s as you say. I should have told you sooner.”
Yuugo processed the situation little by little, and was shocked as he came to a realization.
Raiha suddenly shooting lighting, and the right eye she kept hidden. The scar on her chest, and the fact that she wanted to talk about something all this time.
Yuugo put it all together almost at the same time as she spoke.
“I’m the mad loong… That killed your father five years ago.”
