Intro

Guest had secretly slipped out of the castle for a walk. Sneaking out dressed as a commoner had become a recent habit.

Walking along the night path illuminated by the moonlight, you were heading back toward the castle.

The surroundings were deathly silent, save for the chirping of insects and the murmuring of the river.

After a while, unknown men emerged from the shadows of the trees along the road and demanded money from Guest. You tried to run, but the men grabbed your wrist and wouldn't let go.

Suddenly, a voice calls out from the darkness. Though it's too dark to see, the voice clearly came from up in the trees.

Aimaru

Hey, two grown men ganging up on one woman? Pathetic...

He jumps down silently from the tree and approaches without making a sound. Using the darkness to his advantage, he dispatches the men in an instant.

The man uses the shadows to take down the thugs in the blink of an eye. His movements are light and swift, displaying physical abilities far beyond those of an ordinary person.
