mandytl | camp vargas! ~spring happening~ 5-6 "everyone's so freakin' dense"

Location: Dwarfs’ Mine - Campsite

Ruggie: Put your backs to the fire, guys, and watch your surroundings!

The figure that attacked Vargas-sensei might try to get the jump on us!

Whoosh~...

Jack: What’s that noise?!

Ruggie: Something’s flying straight at us! Everybody, get down!!

CLANG!!

Ruggie: A… boulder?

Crap! That just put out our fire!

Everyone keep low! We don’t stand a chance against something that big!

Magift Club Member: Waugh!

Track Club Member: Don’t! Stooop!

Ruggie: Now we’ve got screaming?!

Is the enemy hunting us down directly under the cover of darkness?!

Basketball Club Member: N-No way! We’re done for!

Riding Club Member: If we stay here we’ll get eaten alive! Run for it—!

Ruggie: Whoa, hey! I said no rash movement!

Sebek: Khh. Cease your panicking, human rabble! Out of my way!

I can’t move when you’re colliding into me from every direction…!

Riddle: Look out, Sebek!!

Sebek: What?!

Riddle: UWAAAAH!!!

Ruggie: …Riddle-kun? Riddle-kun!!

GYAAAAAAH!!

EEEEEK!!

Floyd: Tch. Everyone here’s so freakin’ dense…

Floyd casts fire magic.

Ruggie: Ah—a glow!

Sigh… Looks like those attacks are on pause now.

You seriously saved us with that light, Floyd-kun.

I don’t get how you were able to pinpoint where the firewood was and set fire to it during all that chaos.

Ah. How’s your blot build-up?!

Floyd: A little fire magic’s no big deal.

Besides, this isn’t the time to be stingy with spells.

Take a look around. Pretty much everybody’s gone.

Ruggie: …!!

Sebek: Defeated…

Jack: They were unable to keep their cool while attempting to dodge..

Ruggie: The ones who made it are…

Floyd-kun, Sebek-kun, and Jack-kun.

… four people total, if you include me.

Floyd: …Guess so.

I tried to see what we we’re up against, but it was all over in a flash.

Jack: It had to be the work of that dark silhouette…

Damn it! It was too quick to counter!

Ruggie: It’ll be hard to go after it by scent trail or footprints. All that got messed up in the chaos.

Floyd: Even Goldfish-chan just disappeared… Which means that silhouette’s gotta be just as strong as him.

Sebek: Riddle-senpai… protected me.

… No one asked you to take my place!

Jack: Wh, you asshole—that’s all you’ve got to say about your savior?!

Sebek: Silence! He needn’t have saved me in the first place!

I… I should’ve been able to protect at least one, or even a couple, of these frail humans on my own…！

Jack: Sebek..

Ruggie: Heeere we go... You’ll have time to mourn and feel sorry for yourself later!

Right now we’ve gotta think of a way to last until morning!

… Personally, I think our best bet’s making a break for it in different directions.

Sebek: Wh—You’re going to turn tail and run?!

Ruggie: If one of us escapes and makes it til morning they can alert the Headmaster! It’s smart!

Jack: But… I’m not gonna just leave all those guys who vanished behind!

Sebek: That’s right! To utterly abandon Riddle-senpai here would be…

No, in the face of such adversity, turning my back towards the enemy in order to flee would blemish my reputation as the esteemed Malleus-sama’s guard!

Silver would say as much if he were here!

Ruggie: Then what’s our plan? How’re we going to make it past that dark silhouette?

Should we sit on our butts around the fire until the last man up and vanishes?

Sebek & Jack: Well…

Floyd: We’ve gotta take it down.

Everyone: ?!
