Bab 292: Runaway

"What?! What does that mean?! Are they coming?" Yoichi asked Takuma, hoping to receive a quick answer. The Grimbrook warrior couldn't answer with words but confirmed with a movement of his head.

"Fuck!" Yoichi boomed, lifting Takuma's body and placing it on Ichiro's saddle. Immediately, he leapt behind his friend, causing Takuma's back to rest on his chest. 

After one last look behind, he ensured that the rope securely connected both horses and that everything was in place. "Go, Ichiro! Let's get out of this place!" he thundered, grabbing his Inoshuma's mane and holding Takuma tight between his arms.

Ichiro began to ride out of their hiding place, and the rope between it and Takuma's steed tensed, suggesting Grimbrook's horse follow that same direction. Karasu shifted dangerously to the left and right of the saddle but thankfully did not fall off the horse's back.
