When You Realised What You Missed While In Jail

(Brendan POV)

I flinched as the table in front of me was smashed into splinters, trying my best to ignore the lightning that was cackling around my senior sister.

"Say. That. Again."

I sucked in a deep breath, "The Dongs have been torturing Master. Beatings, electrocution, impalement, lashing, probably even water torture are what I assume Master has been subjected to."

A bead of sweat rolled past my brow as I felt the air inside the tent get hotter before dropping to freezing in the span of a second.

"Ara… Ara? How… Daring… And where is Master?" Manami asked with a smile on her face, though the smile was definitely not a kind one.

I pursed my lips, "Master told us to go back… I… He stayed behind…"

"Was the mission compromised?" Elaria glared at Sylphy.

Sylphy shook her head frantically.

Even though the girls were not directing their anger at us, it's still quite intimidating to see them like this.
