At last, the newcomer finally descended onto the battlefield. She aligned with my aim with Ace, and I pulled the trig-
"Nyaa! W-Wait! Don't shoot!" she cried, before landing on the ground next to me. "I'm here to help you!"
I narrowed my gaze. "You are...the catgirl we saved last time?"
"Yes! That's me! Nyow, mind myoving the gun away from my forehead?!"
I frowned. "How can I trust you?"
"You saved my life! I'm here to repay that debt! I have nyo reason to hurt you!"
Well...I suppose that is true.
Reluctantly, I move the gun away from her head, and she let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, so, I just gotta kill all those baddies out there, right?" she asked, pointing at the gang members currently shooting at the other girls on the various staircases.
I nodded. "Uh...yeah? But don't just jump out ther-"
Heya guys! Cyclxne here.
In this chapter, Xuan Kai and company finally get some action. The catgirl also makes a brief appearance, but...well, goes away again. But don't worry! This isn't the last of her. She'll become an important character in the story, I guarantee. And when I guarantee something, I mean it. Because I'm the author.
A lot more about the mysterious world of Fortress will be revealed in the next chapter, and the leader of the Bloodthirsters will be hunted down, just for good measure. In addition, the annual test to see who can enter Fragment is coming up as well...
Anyway, that's all from me for now.
And as always, I'll talk to you guys again in the next chapter~
