A girl with a target could be dangerous, or just plain annoying.
Levon and Shugo didn't even blink when sensing the slender girl's burning gaze.
"I–I–" Hulga thinned her lips pitifully, choking on her own tears. "I... I'm so weak. It's all my fault. I didn't hold him tight enough. If I did... he wouldn't have fallen just now."
Hulga's eyes turned calculative.

In a blink of an eye, her wailing echoed through the tunnel as she darted like a bullet towards Levon.
Bang!
Hulga's eyes widened like that of a fish when feeling a draft on her forehead.
In a few heartbeats, Hulga found her face planted on the rough ground and her butt high up in the air.
A thick stream of blood slowly rolled down her forehead, dividing at the bridge of her nose in horrific gore.
"You-you-you-YOU!!!~" was all Hulga could say, yet it conveyed a thousand curses.
