"Mason! Ulric! Jin! Get back!" sigaw ko.

Mabilis kaming kumilos ni Lisandrei. There's a wanted guy aboard our ship! Nanlaki nalamang ang mga mata ko nang mabilis nahati ang dagger na isasaksak sana ni Lisandrei sa Informant. She immediately backed away.

"Shit."

Agad kaming naging handa upang protektahan ang mga kasama namin sa likuran.

"Plan? P-Plan—Lisandrei," I asked, stuttering as I eyed her. Nasa kanan ko siya at ang seryoso ng ekspresyon. She's not answering me. So the plan's to just attack, then? Napabalik ang tingin ko sa Informant.

"Kill," she ordered.

I grip my sword tightly. Got it.

Mabilis kaming umatake. I swung the sword and he carried himself up to the side of the ship. Kung kanina ay ka-lebel lang namin siya, ngayon ay nakatayo na ito sa gilid ng ship. My eyes squinted, seeing him easily carrying himself that fast.

"So it still ended up in this situation, huh," he said.

Then Lisandrei swung one of her chains up—carrying the dagger with it. The Informant tilted his body to his left to avoid it. I saw his eyes follow the dagger as it got pass him. Sa sumunod na segundo, nabigla nalamang kami nang nahati na yung kadenang kumokonekta sa punyal.

Damn reflexes.

"C-Captain! V-Vice-Captain! Mabait po siya! Wa'g po kayo mag-away! Please Ate!" sigaw ni Seref sa likuran. Akmang lalapit na sana siya nang pinigilan siya ng Kuya.

I saw how she pleaded with her eyes but we remained firm with our stand. I'm sorry, Seref. This is a criminal. Kung wala kaming gagawin, baka mapapahamak kayong lahat. Sa loob ng ilang buwan kong stuck dito sa mundong ito, natutunan kong maging handa sa kahit anong mga banta sa akin man o sa mga kasama ko sa guild. I learned not to take this world lightly.

That's why we have to subdue this criminal somehow.

"Stay back, little sis. Let them handle this." - Ulric.

"Loren. Get behind me." - Mason.

"O-Opo. Pero paano po yung lilinisin natin na dugo sa baba?" - Loren.

"Shh. Later." - Mason.

"...." - Jinsei.

Dahan-dahan naming pinalibutan yung Informant. I was slowly walking to the left and Lisandrei on the right.

Ako na ang tumalon papuntang gilid at mabilis na binalanse ang sarili ko sa kahoy. Isang take at mabilis niya itong nakontrahan.

"Slow," he says.

I unconsciously rolled my eyes and let out an annoyed smile followed by a sarcastic laugh. His figure somehow reminded me of someone. And I'm not too fond of the slightest thought of that person.

"Yeah, I can tell."

Nakakainis. Mas mahirap siyang kalabanin kaysa sa mga nakalaban ko in the past months. Even better than that annoying Asmodian—scratch that—I meant that molester Asmodian. I wonder how he's doing.
