POV: TOBIO KAGEYAMA.
I don't know why I cried. Maybe it was because I knew that our families were out there somewhere worried sick for us, and we could do nothing to get home. Or maybe it was because of the relief of knowing that we weren't alone anymore. That somebody came searching for us and found us. I still don't know to this day.
But thank God, we weren't alone.
Nekoma's captain was the first one to approach me, and it was the last person I expected. For somebody like him, he was surprisingly kind.
"Tobio. Please help Moblit with set up, we'll take your friends from here," Said Hange, who was standing by the doorway of the castle. Hesitantly, I took the captain's hand off my shoulder and thanked him before heading inside. I didn't know what Hange was about to do next, but all I could do was hope she wasn't going to pull some crazy stunt and experiment on them.
Hinata followed shortly after, and we carried barrels to the storage room. "They really came looking for us, did they Kageyama?" The bright ginger said, placing down the barrel. "Yeah, they did."
Hinata wiped the sweat off his forehead and placed his hands on his hips, voicing his thoughts out loud. "So, what do you think they're gonna do? Will they take them in too?"
It was almost as if he was thinking about the same things I did. "I don't know, but let's wait it out and hope Commander Smith doesn't order an execution. Or even worse, Hange uses them as test subjects."
Speaking realistically, we've been here for less than a month. Any chance of us building full faith in the Scouts and vice versa isn't very big. Sure, we've grown to respect the members of the Regiment as they learned more about our physical abilities and personalities, but that was it. If anything, we would still be a threat to them.
I could tell how much the rest of the soldiers didn't trust us as we walked through the dining hall for dinner. Everyone was tired and hurt from their mission, and they glared at us as we walked to our usual table. I sat uncomfortably, feeling the glares on our backs.
"I don't trust them. There's four more, I bet you they're infiltrating us," A voice said from one side of the dining hall. "I bet they were sent by the royal government. Those bastards," Said another. Hinata sighed, and took a big gulp of water from his cup before slamming it back down on the table. "Let's go check on them," He muttered out.
Walking out of the hall, once again feeling stares on our back, we bumped into Nanaba, one of the soldiers we were recently introduced to. "There you two are. So, you have some friends, I see?" We stopped in our tracks. "Yes," I answered. Nanaba looked around as if she were checking for eavesdroppers.
"Before you go anywhere, tell me something," She asked sternly. I nodded. "Did you two plan this?" She asked.
I felt my blood run cold. We really weren't trusted by people outside of Levisquad. Usually, Nanaba kept to herself, and even somebody like Hinata had trouble approaching her to make conversation. "No, ma'am. We don't know how they got here, we just happen to know them," Hinata replied, his voice almost shaking.
