Taking advantage of Ryuto's momentary distraction, the two security guards swiftly lifted Ryuto up, one on each side.

Huh? What's going on?

When Ryuto came to his senses, he found that he had been caught by the other party, albeit with handcuffs on. It seemed that they had forgotten to bring them.

No, that doesn't seem to be the point.

Hey, I didn't do anything illegal, did I? If you have something to say about me and others, then it's only...

I'm just an ordinary person, is being an ordinary person a crime here? This is unreasonable.

Damn it...

This is so unfortunate.

"Take him away."

Without even uttering a word to Ryuto, the neatly dressed man ordered the two security guards.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The two soldiers followed the order, one on each side, maintaining their previous position, and forcibly dragged Ryuto away.

"Hey, wait, what's going on?"

Ryuto struggled and shouted, but the other party paid no attention and even if Ryuto wanted to break free, it was impossible because...

He simply couldn't match the other person's strength, let alone fighting one against two.

Well, if it were the other way around, Ryuto might have a chance fighting 2 against 1.

Well, maybe, probably.

In this unexpected situation...

"Boom—"

A deafening roar suddenly came from a distance.

Immediately, the cries of the citizens followed.

"Oh no, there's a terrorist attack."

As soon as the words fell, the calm street immediately became chaotic, with the citizens running in all directions, desperately trying to escape.

"What? Terrorists? During a time like this?"

Upon hearing this, the neatly dressed man frowned in annoyance and then gave orders to the two security guards.

"It seems that something happened on the next street. For the sake of the safety of the citizens, we must quickly stop the terrorists' riot. This is now our top priority."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Then, the neatly dressed man hurriedly left with the two security guards.

Although Ryuto didn't know what was happening, he was finally safe thanks to this turn of events.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Ryuto quickly escaped to a nearby alley.

"Master Ryuto, are you okay?"

Hiyori jumped high over the crowd and quickly found Ryuto.

"Ah, I'm fine. Although I don't know what's going on, I was saved thanks to those terrorists."

"So, what should we do now, Master Ryuto?"

Hiyori was referring to the riot, most likely.

Understanding this, Ryuto could only shrug helplessly.

"What else can we do? We can't do anything about this situation. Anyway, let's escape first."

"Yes, darling is right."

"Then let's go."

As they spoke, Ryuto quickly noticed a problem.

"Huh? Where are the others?"

When Ryuto asked, Miyuki just shrugged.

"I don't know. They must have gotten separated in the crowd. By the way, the reason I didn't get separated is because my gaze was always on darling."

Due to the numerous plot holes, Ryuto simply ignored them and, besides, now was not the time to be doing such things.

"Well... anyway, let's go to the hotel first. It's not a good time to find people in this situation. We can just call them on the way and inform them to meet us at the hotel."

"Yeah, you're right. So, which way should we go, darling? The streets are chaotic right now."

"If that's the case, let's take a shortcut then."

And so, the trio of Ryuto avoided the crowd and proceeded along the narrow alleyway.
