A number of the men aimed their weapons, but the moment they tried to pull the trigger, they fell dead to the ground.

“I can kill the ones that try to kill us, right?” Yogiri asked uneasily. He seemed worried that Asaka would get angry with him after having said she wanted to keep things peaceful.

“Yes, that’s fine,” she replied bluntly, resolving herself. There was no point in beating around the bush now. She turned back to the guards and shouted, “I’m sorry, please wait! Listen to me!” knowing full well it was probably pointless. “We’ve just killed those who tried to attack us. We have that kind of power, so please stop this!”

“So what?!”

The men in suits were quite resolved themselves. Unfazed by the mysterious deaths of their comrades, they moved to continue their attack. One by one, they raised their weapons, and subsequently collapsed.

Killing them all at once would have been easy for Yogiri, but out of consideration for Asaka’s wish to avoid unnecessary harm, he targeted only those who tried to hurt them first.

After a while, silence suddenly fell. It was more than she could count at a glance, but most of the men were now dead.
