Even Shana herself was startled by her own behavior.
(What was that?)
That was the first thought that crossed Shana's mind.
For Shana, showing hostility toward others did not seem particularly strange.
But displaying hostility for no apparent reason toward someone she had only just met was certainly strange.
(She was clearly just a human...)
That was right.
The other party was merely a human.
If Sylvia had been a Crimson Realm Denizen, then Shana, a hunter who lived for the mission of a Flame Haze Warrior, would have had more than enough reason to regard her as an enemy.
But if she was only human, that was another matter.

Some Demon Lords of the Crimson World believed that their kin's wanton consumption of humans in the Real World would one day completely collapse the balance between the two worlds and bring about unimaginable disaster.
