Hands
"Why... why did you say you were waiting for us?" Enatsu trembled. Taking courage and trying to get helpful information for his team, the fearsome merchant spoke to the hooded man.
Ogai made no answer, and his hands moved. First, they came back along the flanks, then they got up, opening outwards. As if he wanted to be struck by Shioko, the mysterious man stood still in front of her with open arms and legs.
"Come on. Do you want to hit me? Come on, what are you waiting for?" he spoke. His face was plunged into darkness. Meanwhile, Kenji slightly distanced himself from Yoichi, ready to activate its enhancement.
After Ogai's statement, Shioko's expression darkened. That hooded man seemed not to fear the archer's magic arrow at all, so much so that he was ready to be shot.
Beside him, the massive beast with the horn on its muzzle began to snore again. Its breath sounded as before, heavy and steady.
