The worst situation has appeared... The Anti-foreigner Group has already launched an attack on the settlement, but the large official army has yet to arrive.
The only official currently at the settlement... is Tachibana Aoto alone.
Without needing anyone to lead the way, Aoto silently urged his horse toward the place with the most screams.
Soon after, he saw Bright's mansion from afar, and from afar, he saw Shinno and others gathering outside Bright's mansion, preparing to catch the prey in the urn.
That mansion... that should be Bright's residence...
Elodie and others... are they inside that mansion now...
Just by observing Shinno and others surrounding Bright's mansion, Aoto guessed what these lunatics were planning.
What to do now—this thought suddenly sprang into Aoto's mind.
However, just as this thought emerged, it automatically dissipated.
"What to do?"... Is this kind of question even worth overthinking?
In an instant, Aoto's heart was resolute.
Ka-chak!
