As Yogiri was trying to figure out what her next attempt might be, an intense intent to kill settled over them.

“Uh...what’s wrong? I don’t like that expression you’ve got at all.”

“A strong killing intent suddenly appeared all around us. Normally, it’s like a black line between me and the source, but now it’s more like a black haze over the whole area.”

It was similar to what Yogiri had felt when they had parted ways with the robot and started walking to Hanabusa. As they approached the town, it had grown weaker and weaker until he could barely feel it once they’d reached Hanabusa itself. But now they were right in the thick of it again.

“Ah, that danger forecast thing again?”

“In forecast terms, we’re above fifty percent.”

“That would mean it’s definitely going to rain in a weather forecast, right?” Tomochika frantically began looking around.

“It feels like...things are drying out?”

It was just a subtle, uncomfortable feeling, but now that it had been put into words, it was hard to think of it any other way. The wind had turned dry, the air itself taking on a rough quality.

“Wait, what is that?!” Tomochika pointed towards the distant sky. Following her finger, Yogiri saw an enormous black figure towering in the distance, slowly approaching the town.

“No way...an Aggressor? Is that the Darkness?” Ryouta muttered, staring at the figure in dumbfounded shock.

Note: I won't include the original Japanese text for this excerpt even though it was altered because the only thing I did was replace "city" with "town" (which is what 街 means in this case).
