Chapter 7: Arrogant demon

"We missed the scan, so now people will be charging for us." Yuuichiro pointed out as he and his team all settled down to sit in an abandoned mall. The blonde ponytailed girl shushed him and told Shinoa to continue reading from the scan.
The purple haired girl nodded and opened the terminal scan from her skirt pocket. The small device flickered before all dots were shown from the previous 4:40 scan. "So that means we've missed two scans? Great."Mika groaned.

"Oh shush, would you rather we died during that fight or missed two scans were barely any teams moved-" she was interrupted by the purple haired girl who raised a hand up. "Actually Mitsu, the progenitors team led by Siga Madu is coming straight for us." She admitted. Mitsuba's face flushed in disgust, oh great, more trouble coming their way? Just when she was already exhausted from slamming her axe on the ground. Yoichi gave an uneasy expression upon hearing that but Kimizuki patted his back. "We'll be fine. Don't worry, Shinoa will come up with an idea, right Shinoa?" The glasses-wearing boy glanced over to where the leader stood.

The purple haired girl nodded before she was interrupted by the obnoxious Yuu.
"Props to Shinoa though! For coming up with that plan!" The black haired boy cheered. The rest of his comrades all nodded before Yoichi mentioned something. "It's true, we did say in the last SS that we wanted to fight Krul with our cursed gear, she's so strong." He said. Yes, it was a goal of theirs to fight the vampire queen, ever since Mika discovered her immense strength, he encouraged the rest of his team to fight alongside him. "Well I think we've trained enough, shall we track her down?" continued Yuu. However, Shinoa shook her head. "We can't go after her yet." She reminded.

"Why?" It seems that the black haired katana user has already forgotten.

"Because the Progenitors are coming."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since Siga Madu's team was coming straight for them, the Shinoa squad had figured that they should at least create more distance between them. The battle with the Narumi squad has forced two of the team's attackers to use up all of their medkits as well as Idle some time for the Progenitors to arrive here all planned out. Right now, they were walking down a slope, getting away from the ruined town. There were chances that the Progenitors carried with them a grenade launcher so they didn't want to risk anything.

It would be convenient if they had found a truck or a vehicle of some sort for Kimizuki to drive them away with but no luck thus far. Shinoa was in the lead while Mika and Yuu were in the back. The two had a chance to chat a bit as they all walked. "Hey Mika, are you doing okay?" Yuu asked for about the fifth time the minute. His blonde friend simply chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, my health bar is about 80% full, I think that's how high it could go since I lost a lot." He admitted.

His companion lowered his brows and extended his hand out for him, "Then that just means I have to try really hard yo protect you, huh?" He giggled and Mika blushed a bit at his determination to protect him. "Huh? You really have to, Yuu. We're a team and we all work together. Don't mind my low health." He told the stubborn black haired boy. The squad has now entered a tunnel meant for cars to go through when driving, Shinoa sighed as he took in the dimmer out orange lights. "I wish the city didn't look so ruined, I bet it was beautiful." She commented.

As small chatter went on between her and Mitsu, agreeing with one another that cities are absolutely a sight for sore eyes, Mika and Yuu continued on with their little ramble. "Even Shinoa said it herself," Yuu started which raised questions in Mika's blue eyes. What did Shinoa say about medkits and health? He didn't get it unless he didn't understand Yuu's point. Being deep in thought, trying to find Yuu's meaning, he didn't realized that the black haired boy placed a hand on his shoulder.
