"I am deeply sorry."
Upon learning of Masou Shizuka and Kendou Kanami's ordeal, the blond girl bowed her head in apology to both of them.
"I didn't expect something like this to happen... This is my mistake."
"So, is there anything else you want to say?"
Duanmu Huai crossed his arms, staring coldly at the blond girl.
"Attacking a convoy, taking children hostage, and even trying to assault the women you've captured, I won't believe you're not bandits."
"This..."
On hearing Duanmu Huai's sarcastic comment, the blonde girl frowned and bit her lip.
"Actually, we're not bandits, we're a resistance organization..."
"Resistance organization? Anti-government militants?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai understood immediately.
"Oh, so that's why you're attacking."
"No, I did not give such orders, they must have taken it upon themselves..."
"A bad leader makes a bad team. If those subordinates are so wicked, I can't imagine the ones above are any better."
