Raki can take it like a man! It seems he had even more sympathy for the little ones after seeing it, as well. I hope he grabs a sword from somewhere before leaving, though. There should be plenty lying around the organization's HQ. A buff dude like that looks more natural carrying a blade rather than going unarmed.

I have to say I'm looking forward to the future chapters now more keenly with Raki and Clare's meeting a veritable possibility already.
