Chapter 52: Haru arrives!!
"Master Haru!" Dandy shouted, startled.
Edward’s eyes widened at the sudden appearance of the man standing before them, his presence both calm and commanding. "Where did this guy come from?" Edward muttered, still catching his breath.
"You fool!!" Haru growled, slamming his fist into Dandy’s head with a sickening thunk.
"Ow! Heyy!! What’s that for?" Dandy yelped from the ground, rubbing his skull.
"I leave you alone for fifteen minutes and you cause a damn commotion?" Haru barked, glaring down at him with eyes that burned like tempered steel.
Dandy scrambled to his feet, pointing a trembling finger at Sabrina. "Don’t you get it, Haru?! She’s a member of Rapture! Look at her wings, that golden hair, those crimson eyes—she was literally there that day!"
"Huhhh?! Bruh, I’ve never met you in my life!" Sabrina shot back, hands raised in both confusion and growing irritation.
"Liar!!" Dandy accused, his voice high with certainty, body tense as if still ready to fight.
Haru’s sharp eyes narrowed. "Do you see the Crest of Damnation on her hand, Daiki?"
"Uhhhh..." Dandy faltered, shifting awkwardly. He moved toward Sabrina, cautiously examining her hands—both bare. The tension between them hung thick in the air.
"No mark."
"So basically, Daiki," Haru said, his voice low and disappointed, "you attacked two innocent people."
