'Ugh, this attack is going to hurt more than the last one.'
Shimi braced herself for the attack but it never reached her. When she opened her eyes, the vision of black greeted her as she was defended by the same stranger she had been following behind.
The save startled Shimi and her mind went blank for a minute and a half. She was not able to do anything but look at the man who had just saved her from being hurt badly.
"Hey, if you are done being in shock, then can you stand up and help? I cannot attack these people and defend at the same time."
The man spoke softly to Shimi and even his voice sounded familiar to her. But Shimi forced her mind to stop thinking and stand up to help. She needed to pull her weight in this fight.
"R-Right, I will take care of these people right now."
Shimi's face was bright red and heated because of what just happened. A stranger had not only saved her but also scolded her.
