The group then found the exit route of the tomb.
"It's time to leave before this place collapses completely," Samon ordered.
They all agreed and then run towards the exit route.
The moment they all came out, the tomb had collapsed completely.
"I never knew we were following the wrong person," Miyaguchi said.
"It's time for us to leave," Juba said.
"Not just yet!" Tahara said as he threw Sugawara to the ground.
"Wait, I thought Sugawara was dead," Miyaguchi asked.
"He made a clone of himself," Tahara explained.
"So it was you who defeated the snake," Sugawara said.
Tahara then slammed Sugawara on the wall and began to question him.
"Who sent you?" he asked.
"And what do you want with Miyaguchi's flames," he asked.
"What The.., how did you..." Sugawara yelled.
"Who would have thought, saying Miyaguchi's flames are pretty," Tahara said.
"So you heard everything," Sugawara asked.
"I've got nothing to tell you," Sugawara told Tahara as he spat on his face.
"Who would have thought that you would spit on my face," Tahara said.
His swords, Sweeper, and Keeper appeared in Tahara's hands.
"I'm asking you for the last time, who sent you?" Tahara asked as he brought his swords close to Sugawara's neck.
"It was, The Guild of the Teal Arm," Sugawara said.
"The Guild of the Teal Arm," Miyaguchi yelled.
"You know that organization?" Tahara asked.
"It was organized which was established 600 years ago and their mission was using humans for test subjects and then taking away their ability," she explained.
"The organization was closed down because most of them were caught and executed. I never knew the organization was back on its feet," she continued.
"So that's your goal," Tahara said as he turned to look at Sugawara.
Tahara left him and then told Juba, Samon, and Miyaguchi to continue walking.
Sugawara got up on his feet and drew his sword ready to throw it at Tahara.
But with Tahara's speed, he threw his sword at Sugawara's head.
Wow!
Tahara went to Sugawara and whispered in his ears.
"You are of a good rank, but you aren't fast enough."
Tahara removed the sword from Sugawara's head as he used his shirt to wipe off his blood.
"For the first time I've killed a human," he said.
"Come on guys! I can see the town from afar," Juba said.
Tahara and his group continued walking as they reached the city.
"Alright so this is where we part ways then," Samon said.
Miyaguchi went to Tahara and asked him for his number as she pulled out her phone.
Tahara agreed as he input his number into her phone and gave it to her.
"Thank you!" she said.
Tahara then stopped by a bread shop for bread.
As Tahara was about to leave, his system began to act up.
[Notice]
<<Protect Miyaguchi>>
"Why this all of a sudden? "Why should I protect her" Tahara asked as he scratched his head.
"Hey! Are you lost?" one guy said.
"Why don't you join our squad?" another guy asked as he placed his hands on Miyaguchi's shoulder.
"I'm not in the mood right now please excuse me," Miyaguchi said as she shrugged off her shoulders.
The guy got angry and held Miyaguchi by her wrist.
"You aren't going anywhere young lady," the guy said as the group circled Miyaguchi, Samon, and Juba.
"What's going on here?" Tahara asked pretending not to have seen anything.
"I advice that you back of kid," the leader said.
"Hey! Is that F-Rank kid," the guy told his leader.
"It seems that these guys are just E-Rank," Tahara let out.
"If you don't want to get killed, then back off," Tahara announced.
One of the guys walked toward Tahara he hit Tahara's bread and fell to the ground.
"Can you repeat what you said, F-Rank?" the guy asked.
Tahara got furious as his sword began to appear.
The moment his sword appeared, he cut off the guy's neck.
Wha...!
"Did he just cut off my neck?" the guy asked as his head fell to the ground.
