"I am going to unleash everything I have on him… In the meantime, I want you to run."
Lights blazed in Ayu's focused eyes.
"Oh, great—we'll be running together."
For a moment, Gilbert's eyes turned somber. It was becoming difficult to convey his plan to the girls. He knew how attached they were to him—he had found them and raised them since they were children.
Which was precisely why he needed them to live. He wanted them to live for themselves, at least for once. And if this meant this would be his last stand, then so be it.
He had no regrets.
"No. You two will be going alone."
Myu's face darkened immediately.
"Don't you even dare…"
While Ayu whispered:
"Gilbert!"
Meanwhile, Gilbert sighed. He paused for a moment and explained.
"Listen, girls. First of all, you have to trust me. I won't die from this bastard… come on, I am strong. Secondly, I believe this goes beyond what's happening here. I want to give both of you a crucial assignment."
