Arc 3, Chapter 21: Halted

"Oh, it wasn't you," Jotou faced the brunette.

"What!? What did I do!?"

"I don't know! You were casting some spell and my sense went off, I guess it was the carriage stopping. Asobi?"

"I'm fine!" Asobi gave a thumbs up and got up from all their feet, back onto her seat as Hotaru held onto the curtain.

Hotaru furrowed her brows, opening the little window to the coachman, "What happened?"

Aviv turned back, "Don't know, these guys came out of nowhere. They're wearing camouflage and were lying down. They asked me to stop; they have guns too."

"Everyone in the vehicle please step out!" through the window the voice echoed.

"Are we getting arrested!?" Asobi's eyes bubbled, "I don't want to get a tattoo!"

"What prison have you been to?" Fumeko leered.

"We're not going to prison, calm down. We'll deal with this and be on our way," Jotou steadied the elf's shoulders.
