Would you like me to accompany you, ma'am?

Chapter 317: Would you like me to accompany you, ma'am?

A loud boom emerged from the hills in the distance, and a cloud of dust shot up into the air as it sounded as though something exploded close to the base. All eyes shot towards the sound as thoughts of panic ran through everyone's eyes as a loud chant followed the explosion as the silhouettes of people marching emerged from behind the hill. 

"What's going on?" Jake asked Haru as everyone began to get into defensive positions as they thought that the enemy was coming for them. But as Haru used the technique to sense intentions, he discovered that the people that were coming towards the base didn't have any hostile intent.

In fact, they seemed happy to be back as well as a little hungry. Haru looked back at Jake as the other soldiers raised their weapons out of fear and alerted the officers of what they had just heard.
