『A Blessing Even A Puppet Would Ask For』

『3wirl』

Kazuha's Pov:

I looked up, the city was crumbling and Scaramouche passed out on my arms..this building was about to collapse and a passed out Scara was on my arms.

Ugh..shit I've got to get out of here..!

"Scara..scara please! Wake up..please.."

I can't do this alone....

Cracks began to form around the walls and more began to crumble down.

I'm going to die....oh god I'm going to die...

Why....

I looked at Scara laying in my arms...

Why'd it have to end like this..?

Then, a saw a flash of blue come from the ceiling and a guy came and landed. He had black and blue hair with a spear on his hand.

"I'll carry him, you can run right?"
He asked to me.

"Y-yeah.."

He harshly picked up Scaramouche and I stood up.

"We should get out of here, need a hand?"

"No, I can go in my own."

"Good."

Then, he teleported with strides on his spear and made himself out.

I jumped out from the building and landed swiftly and then ran out to the crumbling exit.

I looked behind me and the ceiling collapsed.

Just a few more inches...

The guy grabbed me from my arm and pulled me out.

Oh my archon....I made it out...and here I thought I was never gonna see the light of day again...

Hmm?

2 people stood outside.

"Got them Xiao?"
One asked.

"Oh my lord! You made it out....I'm so glad your safe..."
A blonde guy ran to him and hugged him.

The guy supposedly called "Xiao" dropped Scara onto the floor like he was a piece of metal and hugged him back.

"It's alright..."
He said stroking the other ones hair.

I crouched down and laid Scara into a more comfortable position on the ground.

"Ah..um..thank you for that.."

"Oh! You must be Kazuha right? I'm Venti! Pleasure to meet you."
One said.

"Oh Venti...nice to meet you."

"And I'm Xiao...guy who saved you just now."

"Ah..right...I owe you one..thank you so much! I thought I was gonna die for a second!!"

"You probably were if it wasn't for us." Xiao said bluntly.

"Ah...alright..."

He's quite straightforward.

"Right! Let's get down to business then boys!" Venti clapped his hands together.

"Business.."

"Yes, busine-"

A shattering sound startled all of us and we all looked back at the building.

"Ah...Best we stay away before it explodes!" Venti said with a smile.

"Explodes!?"

I looked back and covered my ears as a loud explosion came from the building and was nothing but dust and ashes.
