[With Mizuki holding the male boar in place, Saito can carry out the kill with relative ease.

The next second, the Evolver's muzzle is already placed against its massive skull, to fire at point-blank.
He'd shot cats to death before, but never had he imagined he would be seeing boar-y fireworks. He's barely able to distinguish the exact contents of the messy splatter due to the partial absence of sunlight. But what he sees is enough to make his whole body start shaking lightly with contained laughter as their prey tumbles to the ground with a pained cry. And Saito follows, still holding onto it.
Ironic how her sharing her rounds with him is what saved both of them, in a sense. Of course, if she wasn't holding back in the first place, he wouldn't even need to act. But both of them followed the improvised plan as best as they could. Except for the part that he shot her, that is.]
