The shinobi warily surveys the surroundings – nothing/no one worth paying attention to.
I wish I could persuade her to do this without resorting to extreme measures, but who would listen to such a request? And there's nothing to offer. "Beautiful lady, allow me to take you from your wonderful garden to the dusty Asuguh, escorted through the quicksand – but I won't say why," he sighs.
- What do you think? - he asks the pirate. - Nothing special to look at, right? Just a schoolteacher.
- Basically, yes, we'll extradite her according to this plan," Kami nods. "But just in case things go wrong... and there's a tendency for that to happen, we'll adapt to the situation. And remember, she's not just a VIP, she's also a woman. If the situation doesn't escalate into something desperate, we shouldn't harm her.
- Oh, it's you again," the future victim smiles sweetly at the guests, "I'm glad to welcome you to my garden again!"
The response to this greeting was a terrifying gaze from Hisoka, observed by the woman through the eye slits on his frightening mask. A moment later, she falls asleep, but doesn't have time to fall – Kami catches her in his arms in time.
- ... She gave in easily... But it doesn't seem like I can give her any commands... Strange...
- Less talk, let's go...
Kami didn't finish his thought, not because he turned into a mushroom or caught an arrow in the face, but because the entire group was surrounded by five warriors clad in light golden armor and helmets of the same color. Each was armed with a long sword and shield, and bows and quivers of arrows were on their backs. They appeared as if from thin air.
...
Suddenly, the surroundings are filled with thick smoke – the work of the pirate and the bombs he boasted about earlier.
- Guys, follow the plan! - he shouts, judging by the sounds, rushing into battle against one of his enemies. - I'll take care of this situation!
