"Wait a minute..."

Ryuto interrupted once again.

"What's wrong? Is there something else on your mind, bro?"

"No, well, you just said as long as I pay attention it'll be fine, but are you really in a good mental state now? I mean... you were driving just now, right? You must be tired, or... very tired, definitely very tired, so maybe it's better not to do anything reckless, or else you might disappoint everyone's expectations."

Upon hearing this, the man stepped forward and excitedly patted Ryuto on the shoulder.

"Oh, so my bro is worried about me, it really touches me. You truly are my sworn brother."

Hey, hey, don't butter me up randomly. When did I ever swear brotherhood with you? If you want to be sworn brothers, it's simple, pay up first before anything else. You dare try to deceive me without even exchanging the money? Do you really think I'm senile?

Although it was against his will, Ryuto still said a sentence.

"Ah, of course, I'm worried about your health."

"Is that so? That's wonderful. But my bro, you really don't have to worry. Even though I did just drive, it doesn't affect me."

"Huh? Why wouldn't it affect you? No one can be sure about that, right?"

You are having some influence on me.

"Normally, I probably wouldn't be able to, because once you drive, it consumes energy."

Well then, you better just behave as usual, don't push yourself, and lie down if you're out of blood.

"So why do you say it won't affect you now...?"

To Ryuto's inquiry, the man just smiled faintly.

"Well, it's all thanks to our brotherly bond."

"Huh? Bond? I don't recall doing anything..."

"Because I had the fortune of meeting you today, I am unexpectedly happy. I've already forgotten about the fatigue thanks to you. I must thank you for it, bro. It's all thanks to you."

"Is that so..."

What a ridiculous excuse. Don't just easily forget about your fatigue like that.

And, aren't you perfectly shifting the responsibility onto me? If it comes to holding someone accountable later, I'll be in deep trouble. Even though I'm used to you tricking your teammates, I never thought you would go this far.

Even though he really wanted to punch this teammate, he couldn't just let things unfold like this, what to do?

"Huh? Wait a minute..."

Finally, Ryuto spoke up once more.

"Um? What is it, bro? Something else on your mind?"

"Uh..."

Ryuto couldn't come up with an excuse now, so he could only think of a way to escape. Hmm, the door wasn't too far away, he glanced at the escape route from the corner of his eye.

After making sure everything was set, Ryuto walked over calmly and tightly held Anna's hand.

"Huh...?"

Anna turned around in surprise, but Ryuto didn't have time to deal with this.

Next, it was to create an opening, using the most ordinary move.

With his decision made, Ryuto took a deep breath.

Suddenly, he pointed his hand upwards and shouted.

"Oh no, there's something over there."

Following that, just as Ryuto expected, everyone's gaze naturally turned to where Ryuto was pointing.

Now's the time!

Seizing this opportunity, Ryuto pulled Anna close and ran towards the door with all his might.

Although he wasn't sure if he could escape, it was better than waiting around to die.

But just as he took the first step.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion rang out.

At the same time.

"Thud!"

A large group of people rushed in through the door.

"Don't move."

"Don't make any sudden moves."

Each of them held a gun in their hands.

"Huh?"

What's going on?

It was just a false alarm, so why is there something real happening?

Ryuto couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

Just then.

"Oh no, there are intruders, run, bro."

The man reacted first, shielding Ryuto and gesturing for him to retreat.
