Barbarians
Medeia didn't really understand the situation, but she could guess that they were a bunch of barbarians who liked to cause trouble wherever they went.
Lucian pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her body like a sticky octopus.
'Didn't it count as a hug?'
[No, Host. He do it because it's a must, not because he want to hug you]
'What do you know about a human's heart? You're just a fu—freaking system!'
The system didn't make a sound again after that, leaving Medeia alone.
Medeia peeked behind the tree, looking at the cars and motorcycles that parked near the forest. The group of burly and rough men came down from their vehicles.
Medeia could feel Lucian's heartbeat quicken, making her wonder why he was more afraid of facing the humans than a monster?
He didn't even flinch when he fought an S-class monster.
