"Tarigott is coming...he's coming to raid the village anytime now."
With those sudden words, Shizaki single-handedly shifted the tone and atmosphere around him.
Although stunned for a second, everyone immediately reacted.
"...Heh."
"Melody, stay here with Shizaki! Lilliana, King, Delta….!"
"Right!"
"Y-Yes!"
"Outta my way!"
Delta's smile did not change as he seemingly became excited by the thrill of battle, while Lilliana and Rigel were still clearly shook by Shizaki's sudden words.
King was determined as ever, but a subtle fear of the unknown opponent lingered within.
This is it…..this is it!!!
As Delta, Lilliana and King left, Rigel hesitated before leaving and turned to face Shizaki.
"By 'anytime now', when exactly do you believe he will arrive? You've been resting here for a few hours after the operation."
