Azure Sky Frontier Extra Chapter [The sure-hit heartbeat resonates in the silence of the ruined city]

A dilapidated factory, with crumbling steel beams and rusty drums lined up. The former hustle and bustle has vanished, and now only the sound of dripping water and the howling wind reign— As if to shatter that silence, Alicia took a step forward. Her fingertips, encased in lustrous black gloves, fixed straight at me. With a gaze that offered no escape, like a targeting reticle. "—Locked on." It was supposed to be a playful gesture, but in that instant, the air became tense. Her "instinct," honed from risking her life countless times on the battlefield, wouldn't allow this to be mere play. But the next moment, a slight smile spread across her lips. It wasn't the confidence of a warrior, but the innocent composure of a young girl. What's being targeted isn't her life. But she's sure to be shot through—to the depths of her heart.
