"Bang—!"

The figure falling from midair slammed heavily onto the ground back-first. After letting out a muffled cry, she hurriedly scrambled to her feet, but clutched the shoulder that had been struck directly by the stone, pain flashing across her face.

"Irina!"

The other figure, who had been preparing to flee into the distance, immediately stopped. With a leap, she landed in front of her companion, fixing Noah with a sharp glare as she raised a large weapon toward him.

It was a weapon entirely wrapped in bandages, something resembling a greatsword.

Yet the one wielding it was a tall, well-proportioned girl draped in a white robe. She had shoulder-length blue hair, with one lock of her bangs dyed green.

Holding a huge weapon almost as tall as herself and glaring so fiercely, the girl looked exactly like a hardened female warrior.

As for the person whose shoulder had been struck by the stone, kneeling on one knee on the ground and holding that shoulder, she was also a girl in the bloom of youth.

She too wore a white robe, with a black bodysuit underneath. Her long chestnut hair was tied into twin tails that hung down, and her especially adorable features made her look like a playful girl-next-door little sister in need of protection, forming an extremely stark contrast with the warrior-like girl.

Noah was somewhat surprised to find that the people lying in ambush nearby, waiting for their chance to strike, were actually two girls like these.
