Shhhhhh—!

The heavy rain lashed against their skin, the downpour coming down like an overturned bucket.

Within seconds, they were drenched, soaked to the bone like wet rats.

The rain was so intense that opening their eyes properly was nearly impossible.

There was no point in rushing to escape the rain when they had nowhere to go.

"This is only going to slow us down even more."

This wasn’t good.

"Let’s just keep moving for now."

Rohan left a rough mark on a tree with his sword before leading the way.

Ichinose nodded and followed behind him.

Her soaked hair and heavy clothes clung to her uncomfortably, but oddly enough, just that little bit of water made her feel lighter than before.

For the first time, getting drenched in the rain didn’t feel so bad.
