Love & War: The Black Moons

Chapter 35: Entrusted

Further into the base, Rashid and Azam come across Karin and her entourage, consisting of Ibuki, Shibasaki and R. Mika.

"Pleasant to see you guys again," said Karin.

"So, Mr. Butler. Did you already find the control room from here? asked Rashid.

"Shibasaki is the head steward of the Kanzuki family. Of course he did."

Rashid, with no sense of personal space, he takes his arm around Shibasaki, who, as a good butler, remains unfazed.

"Great. Then I suggest we work together, and I will forgive you for what happened in the past."

"Please do not touch my head steward. By the way, do you have the piece?"

Before Rashid could answer Karin's question, two soldiers come to intercept the intruders.

"Again? These guys are getting on my nerves!"

Karin fights one of the soldiers. Balrog was right. These soldiers, despite these enhancements, were too weak, thus allowing Karin to dispatch one of them while Rashid, Ibuki and R. Mika took care of the rest. An alarm sounded, closing the blast doors to trap them.

"Damn."

Rashid pushes the group to the other side of one of the doors. He also looks at the two pieces he has and throws them to Karin before the door closed. "Please keep an eyes on them. I'm supposed to responsible for their safekeeping but there's no time. Can I trust you?"

Karin thought for a moment. "Understood." They then began searching for another way out.
