Lord Jinshi, normally we should have reached the inn by now.
Gaoshun says while keeping a sharp eye on their surroundings.
At that question, Gaoshun looks awkward. ...My deepest apologies.
At that moment—a strange twang sounds☆ (Oh—)
From beyond the wind, a faint groan could be heard. Rustle... rustle... From the depths of the dark forest, a figure appears. It was a man in a kimono. But something was wrong. His complexion was deathly pale, and his mouth was wet with blood.
Jinshi frowned.
An injured person...?
The man does not answer. Instead, he looked at the three with unnaturally wide eyes. And then—
...HUMANS
With a low voice, the man lunged. He was fast.
Gaoshun shoves Jinshi aside.
Get down!
Claws grazed Gaoshun's shoulder, tearing the fabric.
