"Mr. Fang Li?"
As Fang Li stared at the dark-red Hayajiro, a voice rang out.
Following the voice, Fang Li looked over and saw Yomogawa Ayame emerge from the crowd. She looked at him in pleasant surprise and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Every member of this force was an outstanding fighter. They had repeatedly distinguished themselves on the front lines against the Kabane, achieving many victories that were known to all.
It was said that wherever the Hunting Group went, all
