Reader's POV

~

I kept thinking about the number Adam was muttering. "22194" was Norman's number...

"Y/nnnn!"
Gillian, Sonya, and Paula sang out. I looked over to see them with Emma, smiling innocently.

"Yea-"
Before I could finish I was tackled by the girls.

In a blink of an eye, my clothes were changed. I looked at the new clothes with surprise. Not bad.
I somewhat matched Emma, but with a twist.

"Uh... thanks?"
I smiled.

They smiled back.
"No problemo!"
Gillian smiled, hugging me tightly.

I chuckled and hugged her back.
"And one more thing..."
Sonya trailed off with a smile.

I was brought to Sandy, along with Emma.
Sandy looked at the bandages on our ears.

"Woah! Did you two do this yourselves? That's crazy!"
He asked.

I shook my head with a chuckle.
"Emma did,"
I said to which she nodded.

Then, he smiled brightly.
"I have an idea!"
he said with a wink.

Both of us raised a brow at him in confusion.
He made us hair clips.

"Wow! That looks so good!"
I said with a bright smile.

"Thanks everyone!"
Emma and I said in unison.

I aimed my gun at the target.
Emma did the same.

We shot at the same time, getting bullseye.
I smiled, high-fiving her happily.

Sandy whistled and we chuckled.
Zack and Sonya soon came up to us.

"We've done preparations on our side."
Zack said.

"How did it go, Emma, Y/n? Did you two find a weapon you like?"
Sonya asked.

"Yeah,"
I said.

"I think I can use these,"
Emma said.

"Pretty good shot,"
Zack said, looking at the targets.

"So you all knew about how to kill demons,"
Emma then said.

"Yeah, we do. Although they don't know that. And they also don't know we intend to kill them,"
Sandy said.

"To them, we're just weaklings who only know how to run away. That's how we acted all this time.
We kept a self-defense stance. All in order to gather information. And we slowly prepared in the background.
In the process, we lost comrades too."
Sonya started.

"Lucas's experience and our preparation. We lost our family and our comrades, but we obtained and passed down everything. The culmination of that is the plan and the mission.
We know how strong the enemy is... but we will be the victors,"
Sonya finished.

"Yeah. But we can't let our guard down... especially against Grand Duke Leuvis."
Zack said.

"Did Lucas tell you about his group?"
Sonya asked.

"Huh?"
Emma asked, confused.

"Lucas and his former group... were able to stand up to them first. Lucas's best friend, a leader type, gave instructions... allowing them to use the weapons efficiently and strategically to defend themselves and flee.
They were able to survive this hunting ground without anyone getting killed,"
Sandy explained.
