[center][b][i][u]Umichi[/u][/i][/b][/center] With Suki having left to do the quest, Umichi sighed. He felt ashamed of his time, having expected a time of less than 10 minutes. That is what happens when he leaves most of the closer Little Nepents. Having gone to the further reaches of the woods to find his prey. Lying down, on his back, hands behind his head, Umichi looked up at the sky, through the trees' leaves. The scene in front felt serene, and gentle, as a breeze swept by him. For a moment he wondered, [i]I wonder if it rains or snows here.[/i] having not seen either so far. As Suki came back, Umichi hopped up. "Gokurou sama deshita." He smiled. "Guess that's it for this place. Shall we head to Tonkilo for the [u]'Cows of the Counterattack'[/u]?" he followed up with a question, grabbing his pot plant up and putting it away in his inventory. Waiting for a response from Suki, he observed her. This was something Umichi would do from time to time, to look for any cute quirks Suki may have. --- [center][b][i][u]YukiHana[/u][/i][/b][/center] YukiHana was quite adept in learning things, and learned that the enemies had learning algorithms , and it was possible to trick them and make them confused/pause momentarily. An example of that was stopping and running through them as she did before, which was different to her just running away. With them chasing here again, she checked to make sure she had [b]<>[/b] equipped. With it equipped, she saw another Onii-san go to help the dagger-wielding Onii-san, and it seemed the first Onii-san that was tall and blonde, was doing fine. She wouldn't need to do what she did earlier, at least for now. She started to take deep breaths while running, concentrating. Slowing her running pace, the Little Nepents were catching up. Slowly, getting closer. Suddenly, YukiHana back-flipped, landing on top of one of the Little Nepents. She had her dagger at the ready as she landed on top, stabbing it as far as she could. Kicking off from the Little Nepent, she repeated this about five times, getting behind the Little Nepents. The Little Nepents stabbed, had taken some more serious damage. Still only resulting in about 30 or so %. However, the Little Nepent hoard had become confused and spread out. Using this opportunity, she dashed around, slashing some of the Little Nepents, but with the room given, she was able to perform a couple of simple sword skills, such as [b]<>[/b] and [b]<>[/b]. The dagger glowing with each strike of the sword skill. The few Nepents she had hit with both the stab and the sword skills, had burst into pixels. However there were still about 12 or so Little Nepents. Still running through the hoard, she cut into the last without a sword skill, however, at that moment, had stepped too close to the Little Nepent, tripping over a root, and tumbling away from the hoard.
