Bab 1964: Distracted

Ryu stood in the middle of a large protective formation as the building above his head was ripped to shreds. 

Soon, a petite young woman appeared, one of her eyes glistening with a brass radiance, and the other releasing a frigid chill. 

Fiend Childe Aria Moon. 

Ryu looked up almost indifferently. It was as though he didn't realize that he was in danger at all. In fact, his gaze still seemed to be somewhat distracted as though he was still trying to wrap his head around what he had just seen. 

It was hard for him to believe, but he had to. 

BOOM! 

Suddenly, Aria attacked. She didn't seem to realize that Ryu was distracted, or maybe she simply didn't care. 

Her gaze was vicious and she clearly wanted him dead as quickly as possible. And yet… 

The attack vanished the moment it appeared above Ryu's head as though it had been blown away by the wind. 

"… I'm busy, if you don't mind…" Ryu said lightly, still absentminded.
