Two thunderous booms.
Almost one after the other, the ground trembled faintly, and similar cracks spread beneath their feet.
Hoshino nonchalantly pulled her legs free from the ground and watched Gavial do the same. Without exchanging a word, the two moved in perfect sync.
Gavial carried only her healing staff, while Hoshino was even more excessive—her hands were empty.
