Normal P.O.V.

“He’s trying to run away! Are you scared, caveman?” One of them tried to attack the guard only to be taken down.

“Idiot.” Miyu muttered as Hyouga make his way towards the others.

“I never would have thought your brain was so melted that you’d expect to win against a spear on a narrow bridge.” Hyouga commented as he look down on the others, “The caveman is a lot more proper than you are.”

“He broke my nose!” The man yelled as he covered his bleeding nose.

“We’re sorry, Hyouga-san.” Another added, looking at the white hair male.

Miyu walk towards them as she pull out some herbs paste to apply on the man’s broken nose. Hyouga watch Miyu before turning to look at the brown hair guard. He was standing in a fighting position, getting ready to attack at any time. As Hyouga walks closer, his green orbs narrows slightly.

“Huh? You have a bad eyesight, don’t you?” Hyouga asked making Miyu perked at his words.

She stood up after finishing patching the medicine, walking closer to Hyouga. The male glance at her with a close eye smile, “Aren’t I right, Miyu-kun?”

“From the way he squirt his eyes, it seem he did have it. No, he definitely have a bad eyesight.” Miyu exclaimed, eying the green eyed guard.

Holding his spear more tightly, Hyouga thrust forwards in a fast pace making the brown hair male guard himself using his shield. His eyes widen at the speed before taking a stable stand once again.

‘Hyouga was very fast. This guard won’t stand a chance...’ Miyu thought as she stood at the side, holding the bridge rope. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Gen running towards them, a few other villagers behind him.

Hyouga attack once again, more faster than before and manage to stab the guard’s abdomen. His spear and shield fall from his hand as he fall from the bridge.

Miyu gasped at the sight as she covered her mouth. Not hearing any splashing sound, she come slightly closer only to see that the guard had caught Hyouga’s ankle.

“Kinro!!” Miyu heard someone yelled and she immediately look at the sources. A young girl with a blonde hair and blue eyes was being refrained by an older male, also with the same hair colour.

‘So, his name was Kinro...’ Miyu thought as he look back at the two males.

“Now!” Kinro started, winching slightly from the pain, “Cut the bridge! Ginro!”

The said guard widen his eyes at the other guard’s word before looking at the spear that he was holding. Miyu look back at the blonde guard, ‘If he didn’t want us to come any closer, he should cut the bridge, but...will he be able to do it?’

“Let me go, Father!” The blonde girl trashing in her father’s arm.

“Fool! You don’t stand a chance against a spear on a bridge!” The father yelled back, still able to refrain her daughter from launching forwards.

“But Kinro-” Before she could say anything her father cut her off by yelling her name, “Kohaku!”

‘Kinro, Ginro, Kohaku...who else?’ Miyu thought, watching the scenes unfold.

“Think about the children! We have to cut it!” A woman yelled making Miyu walk forwards past Hyouga and Kinro, trying to listen and calculate their next action.

“Miyu-kun.” Hyouga called, but the white hair girl only put her hand up indicating that she will be fine.

“Come on, hurry! That girl is already close!” The woman yelled again at Ginro.

Ginro look back at Kinro before his green eyes land on Miyu. The white hair girl was only a quarter left from reaching the first island. Miyu stop on her track, her emerald eyed scanned all the villagers that was standing there.

‘No children, which mean they either on the second island or inside the huts.’ She thought, then her eyes land on Gen. The mentalist’s eyed widen when he saw her.

“Miyu-chan?” Gen whispered  watching her eyes once again scanning the area. This time her eyes land on a male with hair that defy gravity.

‘What the...? I almost thought that was a cabbage...no, a leek? Yeah, a leek.’ Miyu thought as she look at the male. The male was also looking at her, taking in her appearance.

‘Isn’t she....an actress? Why would they revived an actress?’ The leek-haired male thought.

Miyu turned her head back towards Ginro when he slowly approach the ropes. The male that she was eying earlier also turned to look at Ginro as he hold his spear up to the ropes that tied the bridge.

He slowly cut the rope, mumbling, “They’re right. I have to do it. I have to cut the bridge down to save the village.”

Hearing his words, Miyu sigh as she hold up her arrow. She aim at the spear that he was holding, then she heard Kinro speaking, “That’s it. I can no longer be saved.” Ginro stop cutting the rope once he heard it and tears slowly spilled from his eyes.

‘From their names, I can concluded that these two guards are siblings. There’s no way he would cut the bridge, knowing that his brother still could be saved if he didn’t cut the rope. But better be prepared.’ Miyu thought, still aiming at the blonde guard.

“I can’t do it. How could I?” He start crying more harder as he lowering his head down, “Kinro would die if I did that! I can’t do it, Nii-chan!”

‘I was right after all.’ Miyu slowly lowered her arrow making the leek-haired male look at her before closing his eyes and gritting his teeth.

He immediately turn towards the old man standing beside him and grab the iron tube that he was holding.

“What are you doing with the iron tube?” The old man asked as he watch the young boy filled the tube with soil.

“Who would have thought we’d be using the last of our gunpowder for a bluff?” He whispered to himself.

From the place that Miyu stood, she could only heard some of it, ‘G-Gunpowder? This suddenly sound very bad...’ A worried look plastered on her face. She slowly put her arrow back in her quiver as she watch the male do his work. Then she saw Gen walking towards a group of villagers, ‘What is he doing?’ Miyu thought.

When she saw Gen gave a rock to the huge male, her brain start working in auto pilot, ‘Gunpowder...Rock...They try to make it as if they had a gun! From Hyouga’s position there’s no way he would saw the rock that Gen gave to the male. Hell! He might doesn’t even saw Gen!’

When the leek-haired male start to kneel, Miyu immediately knows that he will fire the gunpowder. Since she was near to the male, as soon as the loud ‘bang’ could be heard she let out a small yelp even though she knows it was coming. She fall on her knees, using both her hands to covered her ears, ‘Damn! That was very loud. My ears are ringing. I bet if Ukyo-nii heard it, he'll in much worse condition than me. I shouldn't followed him while he was doing his job, my ears had become sensitive.’

“Hyouga-chan, everyone! Retreat!” Gen yelled as he hold onto the iron tube that the leek-haired male holding. He ran to Miyu, holding her up before running back, “This village already has guns!”

“Run! Damn it!” The other men start retreating into the forest.

“You better run too, Hyouga-chan!” Gen yelled as he ran past the white hair male.

Hyouga look at Miyu who was standing beside him after following Gen running towards the main land. She was covering her left ear. He avert his gaze from her towards the other end of the bridge, “You must be...”

A small chuckle escape from the leek-haired male, “You guys waited too long. We’ve already finished building the kingdom of science.”

An amused look plastered on Miyu’s face as she hear the male’s words, ‘So he's Senku? Damn, here I thought that the mad scientist that Tsukasa kept on talking about would be much older. Heck! I thought he would be older than Ukyo-nii!’

“Oh? I’m sure Tsukasa will be very pleased.” Hyouga said.

“Yeah, tell Tsukasa that Ishigami Senku is still alive. Tell him we’ve built about 10 billion rifles with the power of science.” The male known as Senku exclaimed with a wide smirk plastered on his face.

Miyu and Hyouga walk away from the bridge and after the white hair male thought that they had gone far enough, he stop on his track.

“What are you thinking now?” Miyu asked as she stop beside the male.

“I want you to go back there and try to get any information that can be useful for us.” Hyouga exclaimed making Miyu furrowed her eyebrows.

“Why would I need to do that. Gen already gone there as a spy.” Miyu said, looking up at the male.

“I don’t trust Gen at all. In fact, he might betrayed us all.” He said and Miyu gasped, “You don’t mean...”

‘Damn! Did he knows that Gen already had change sides?’ Miyu thought before sighing in defeat, “Fine.”

“Try to get back before tomorrow noon. You can do that, right?” Hyouga asked, walking once again.

“I told you to not worry about me. Beside, acting is my strength, I’ll come back with useful information.” With that Miyu turned around and walk back towards the village.

“Be careful. You might get a full day blabbering from Ukyo if you’re injured.” Hyouga warned and Miyu just wave at him.

‘Well, this will be fun. Which side should I choose...?’ Miyu thought as she look towards the bridge.

The young girl known as Kohaku was pulling Kinro up while Ginro screaming and crying at the side. A small smile plastered on her face, knowing that the brown hair guard is still in a good shape.
