[He'd already been certain, but when Guts speaks that name β Luci β he really knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that this man, a fellow teammate, is one of the people recruited by the app. Or perhaps by Luci. And that realization hits like a brick.
But what hits even harder is the truth about what they were recruited for. Kouyuki had been given some idea previously, as much as could be safely said on the app, but no one had said anything about fighting things that weren't human.
He's not sure what he expected, but it wasn't that. And for a moment, all Kouyuki does is stare up at Guts. Uncertain.
It's a wonder he sounds just as much of a brat as he always has when he finally does speak up again, although his gaze averts to the side this time, to stare at the hollow in the tree that was going to be used as a hiding place.]
Oh? If you ran away, you wouldn't see anything anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
[They say salt wards off bad spirits. Maybe it wards off bad feelings, too?]
