"Go to hell!!"
The girl grabbed the baseball bat and swung it down hard at the girl in front of her. The latter simply stood there in a daze, clearly scared stiff—yet at that moment, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and seized the bat.
"Huh?"
The girl who had intended to commit murder turned around in surprise, only to see Duanmu Huai standing behind her, gripping the baseball bat and glaring at her.
"What? Trying to kill someone? You sure picked a great place for it."
"No, why... how could this..."
Faced with this unexpected turn of events, the girl was clearly astonished. She retreated in terror, then looked toward the girl in front of her again. The latter had also come to her senses by now and was glaring at her furiously.
"You actually tried to kill me? You've got some nerve!"
"Hmph...!"
The attacker's body trembled when she heard that, but soon she glared furiously at the other girl once more.
"That's right, I was going to kill you! I told you, if you dared do anything to Mahiru, I would never let you off!"
"Good, good! I'd like to see what you're capable of. Don't think this is where things end..."
The two girls glared furiously at each other, seeming ready to rush forward and tear their enemy to pieces at any moment. However, in the next instant, Duanmu Huai raised his fists and slammed one down on each of them.
"Thump, thump!"
"Waaah!"
"What did you do that for?"
"Tell me exactly what happened."
Duanmu Huai folded his arms and looked coldly at the two girls.
"What exactly happened?"
"...How should I know?"
The girl who had nearly been beaten to death snorted.
"Shouldn't you ask the one who attacked me?"
"You first."
