"Huh… Kōya, what just happened?" Victoria asked with confusion in her voice.
She was currently positioned on top of him protectively, and both their clothes were noticeably dusty from the explosion and debris and the tent was nowhere to be found at all… it was completely obliterated.
All that remained in its place was a massive smoking crater in the ground.
"We're under attack by organized hostiles," Kōya replied calmly, assessing the situation rapidly.
Victoria immediately pushed herself off him and stood up in a defensive stance. Kōya couldn't see it from his position, but her crimson eyes had grown significantly darker and more intense, glowing with suppressed rage.
"Someone tried to hurt you?" she asked, and Kōya genuinely couldn't even tell if she was angry or not.
Her voice was completely flat and emotionless, which was somehow far more terrifying than if she'd been screaming.
