The kitchen was arranged as new, and the bullet holes were just as minimum as they were before. That proved Tengoku had not fired at the house, or he was waiting for the right moment to come when he will open fire.
Hitori slid to the left side of the door, away from the range of the machine guns and close enough to the exit. Reon went to the other side, she would be safe too, unless someone comes from the backside.
Reon pulled her gun near her chest, then lowered it and pulled the barrel, to cock it. Akira joined them last, standing outside the kitchen. "Do you have any connection with them?" she asked.
Akira looked for even a subtle sign of anyone, then pulled himself back. Reon still looked like someone just got out of bed. "Are you prepared to continue if something happens to them?" he asked.
Reon frowned. "What kind of a question is that? Of course, I am prepared."
