???#2: Onii-chan!!! Onii-chan!!! Wake up!!

???#3: Senpai! ... Senpai!... —He won't wake up, should I use the official title?

???#3: —Master! Master! Please wake up!! If you don't wake up, I'll kill you!!

???#2: Wha??

???#4: Uhh... That's one way I guess👁️👄👁️...????

Gudao's eyes snapped open, and he slowly sat up while holding his head.

Gudako: Onii-chan!

Zero: Hey you, you're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border right? Same as us, and that thief over there...

Fou: Fou?!

He pointed at Fou who tilted his head.

Mash: Foreigner-senpai! This time the time for joking around!

Gudao: I may have been hearing things, but did Mash just say she was going to kill me??

Mash: U-Uh, no, that came out wrong, I meant to say that you were going to be killed!

Gudao:... By you?

Mash: No!... I was confused because everything happened so quickly.

Zero: Take a look around you champ.

Gudao stood up slowly and looked around. Wreckage and debris from buildings everywhere. And to top it off, everything was on fire.

Gudao: Just... Where are...

Gudako:... So... That thing in the sky... I think it's coming for us...

Mash: What thing in the— !!!

They saw a bright red light in the sky moving through the air at high speeds.

Mash: A projectile!!??

Zero: Well that ain't good...

The projectile fell on them, splitting into hundreds of arrows that exploded on contact.

Mash quickly moved in front of everyone and held up a giant shield, successfully blocking the attack.

Quite a ways away from their location, a bowman stood atop a tower, smirking.
