"Thank you, Grandpa," Hakuji politely thanked Rota, bracing himself with his arms as he tried to stand.
Unfortunately, that blow had been far too heavy. If Hakuji had not possessed some martial arts foundation, it might have broken his lower leg outright.
"Little one, don't move around. Your bones are injured, and acting rashly is a grave mistake. Let this old man take a look!"
