Aya's POV

I keep staring at Mia while aiming my gun at her. She ignores me and lies Kohaku on the ground.

-What do you mean by that? Is she also poisoned? (Aya)

Mia tilts her head and asks me back.

-Poisoned? It's not it. (Mia)

Mia sighs and says.

-It's worse than that. Kohaku has "It" inside her body. "It" will turn her into one of those wolves soon. (Mia)

-What the hell is that even mean? (Aya)

I release my murderous aura at Mia.

-I only want to know one thing. Can you heal Kohaku? (Aya)

Mia shakes her head and looks at me with a sad face.

-Sadly, I can't. (Mia)

-You... (Aya)

I still don't know why Farah forgave and kept this girl. Mia came out of nowhere and attacked us. Then, she suddenly gave us vital information about the disappearance of Farah. Finally, Mia seems to relate to the appearance of these monsters.

-How are you related to these monsters, Mia? (Aya)

At least I must get some hints from this girl.

-... (Mia)

Mia just stared at me without replying.

-I'm losing my patience here. (Aya)

It takes a while for Mia to open her mouth and give me an unexpected answer.

-I can't tell you. (Mia)

-What the hell? (Aya)

This girl...I can't help but be furious and walk toward Mia. I grab her skirt and pull it up.

-I'm not kidding here, you know. Farah may tolerate you, but I won't. (Aya)

-... (Mia)

Mia gives me a cold stare.

-You can't do anything even if you know...  (Mia)

-So what? So I don't have the right to know the truth? (Aya)

-Void Break! (Mia)

With the chanting of Mia, some kind of force suddenly pushes me away from her.

-Urghh! (Aya)

She fixes her clothes and looks at me.

-You are too weak to know about it. (Mia)

Mia turns away and bends down. She reaches her hand down and touches Kohaku.

-I don't care what you thought about me. But you should believe one thing: I will keep both of you safe. (Mia)

-Why? (Aya)

Mia sighs and replies.

-Because sister will be sad if I let two of you die. (Mia)

Sister? Does she mean Farah?

-Hmmm, the one inside Kohaku is the prototype. (Mia)

Mia kneed her brow and looked at Kohaku with a complicated face as ever.

-I never thought they would experiment own their citizen. (Mia)

Mia starts mumbling to herself.

-Though I don't remember, I gave them enough of "It" to turn the entire city into this mess. (Mia)

-"It"? (Aya)

Mia keeps ignoring me and talking to herself.

-Tchhh! (Aya)

I click my tongue and put the gun away. I know Mia won't tell me the truth, anyway.

-It's weird. Something wrong must happen! (Mia)

Mia puts her index finger on her forehead.

-Find and bring out one death sample to me. (Mia)

-Who are you talking to? (Aya)

-No one. (Mia)

-... (Aya)

That answer makes me have an urge to punch this girl in her face.

-Anyway. (Mia)

Mia takes out something like the gas mask from the void and throws it at me.

-You will need it. (Mia)

-Why? (Aya)

And once again, that girl ignores me.

-Hah! (Aya)

Why do I stuck here with this damn girl? I helplessly put the mask on my face.

-Alright. (Mia)

A monster wolf suddenly appears right in front of me.

-Huh! (Aya)

I relatively aim the gun at the monster.

-Don't worry, it's already dead. (Mia)

-Hah... (Mia)

Mia walks to the wolves and looks at them.

-What is she trying to do? (Aya)

-Hmmm... (Mia)

She suddenly pierces through the monster's chest and takes out something that looks like a crystal. Mia inserts her mana into the crystal and makes it turn red.

-This is... (Mia)

Mia looks so angry and breaks the crystal into many pieces.

-Someone has put their hands on our business. (Mia)

-... (Aya)

Mia turns to me and says.

-Let's go out now. (Mia)

-What about those monster wolves outside? (Aya)

-They are no longer there. My teddy bears had successfully distracted them. (Mia)

-Really? (Aya)

-Yeah. (Mia)

Mia picks Kohaku up and creates a gate in front of us. She goes through it without waiting for me.

-It's the surface. (Aya)

We arrive at the spot where we disappeared.

-Raise up. (Mia)

The teddy bear follows her order and raises up from the ground.

-Let's... (Mia)

Many red dots appear and aim at Mia.

-Stop right there, servant of gluttony. (002)

I don't know when, but a squad of maids had already surrounded us. The maid with blond looks like the leader standing in front of us.

-... (Mia)

-You should cooperate with us, otherwise... (002)

Not to let the maid finishes her sentence, Mia jumps back into the teddy bear's mouth along with Kohaku.

-Hey! (002)

When the maid reaches out to the teddy bear, it has already self-destructed and turned into dust on its own.

-She...! (002)

The maid angrily steps to the ground. After she vents the anger for a while, she turns to me.

-Miss Aya, please follow me. (002)

I look at her cautiously.

-You? (Aya)

-Don't worry, we are the maid squad under master Farah. We ensure you will be safe with us. (002)
