No, she believed she wasnât miscalculated. The code she had on the back of her neck was glowing red, meaning that it detected a dangerous entity nearby. What else if it wasnât Unknown? After all, the Code only could detect Unknownâas far as she knewâand creatures alike.
Which means, this personâno, this creatureâwas dangerous.
Reloaded another bullet in one of her ice-element gun after released one shot that finally hit him after few missing ones, she still stood, didnât budge even when he said he meant no harm. The trigger of her ice-element gun still pointed right at his direction, with the other fire-element one on her other hand, waiting for its turn.
âI donât care about Tomoshi City at all.â She spoke the matter-of-fact. âHowever, youâre not the usual Unknown I know. Itâs hilarious to find an Unknown that can communicate pretty well.â Ordinary Unknowns would take a form as incomprehensible creature whileâat timesâmaking indecipherable sounds. They also had white and red colors.
But this oneâŠtakes human form, and can speak in human language, that Asuha understands. Never once she encountered this one, nor it was ever being talked in Tri-City meeting. Nevertheless, she found him dangerous.
âYou can destroy this city for all I care. This fight is definitely exhausting and I donât want to waste my effort in vain. But, if you attempt in attacking Chiba afterwards, I wonât let you escape. Unless you can explain that you have no ill intention.â
Who knows what kind of power that he has, other than his unusual form and ability to speak in human language? Asuha knows very little about Unknown and even her power itself. Without any guidance from adults nor company from her brother and Chiba students, she had to handle this by herself.
Still, since when the invasion has reached a city she barely knew of? She should have been reported about thisâŠ
COLD. OH SO VERY COLD, her words were. In a way that manner of talk offended Whiteface. All lives were precious. How could she so easily write off the idea that the lives of people here were worth less than the lives of the people in that other city? Judging by the killing intent vivid in her eyes, she wasnât about to let him go that easily. Whiteface hoped to be able to resolve this without violence, but it seems he has no choice. âUnknown? Iâm not certain as to what those are. Are you referring to the Unspeakable Horrors of the Outer Realm?â He asked, only to receive a flaming bullet, to which he narrowly avoided.
He just keeps on talking, while she just kept on firing. It didnât seem like he would have a good day today; he could only hope Otegine can forgive him for getting into a quarrel like this. âYou share the same bond as I, right? Arenât you concerned for your friends if you are hurt at all? I donât promise any harm to fall into anyone. Can you believe me on that?â While Whiteface was ever so wary, he wanted to perhaps try and speak sense into her. The hatred she had for these beings...it wasnât something he was fond of regardless.
