The masked girl seemed utterly terrified, her petite body completely hiding behind Mukiwa and the pale-yellow woman.
Mukiwa's face was still somewhat pale—yet she firmly kept the masked girl protected behind her.
Due to the mask worn by the pale-yellow woman, it was impossible to see her current expression, but like Mukiwa, she formed a simple "human wall" in front of the masked girl.
——Do they intend to take them hostage...!
Upon seeing the two Samurai attacking Mukiwa and the others, Aoto's expression darkened sharply.
Why would these lunatics go to attack Miss Kinoshita and the others?
Aoto instinctively thought—the lunatics probably saw him standing with Mukiwa and the others earlier and assumed Mukiwa and the others might be his companions, thus planning to take Mukiwa and the others hostage to threaten him!
When a person is desperate, they might resort to any disgraceful tactics.
