Izu and Pika quietly sat in one of the bars in the bustling town. Their table was tucked into a corner, keeping to themselves so as not to draw attention.
That was the plan: not to draw attention.
But…
"What in the world is she thinking?" Pika's quivering voice slipped past his lips as he stared at the two people in the middle of the bar, surrounded by a crowd while having a drinking competition.
The roars and cheers filled the establishment, with some even holding their hands up.
The other guy was someone neither Pika nor Izu knew. But the other competitor?
They knew her all too well.
"Why would she…" Pika's color drained, his anxiety spiking. "…How is this not drawing attention?!"
Pika felt like choking and vomiting at the same time. He had thought that staying with Lola would be safer than being stuck in Haji's group. After all, Haji had forced him into this mission when he'd wanted to back out.
Who would have thought this was not the safest option at all?!
