Chiori North Team [hr] That, was not the answer she had been hoping for. Yes, she knew they should kill grudges, but shouldn't they have some sort of gameplan? Some sort of battleplan? A complicated plan with backups upon backups and fail safes? Things never went to plan. Or actually, was this a Shounen? Or the genre well the only plan was just look cool and beat up bad guys with the power of friendship like a sentai or magical girl setting? Her expression outwardly would remain neutral, but internally she was a mess, though that wasn't anything new. "Eeek-!?" The sudden appearance of the Grudges caused her to let out a quite unserious and uncool sounding squeal. Oh dear that wouldn't do at all. "A-ahem, Oh, its just a grudge...just a grudge...small fries-weh!?" Chiori would have only a few moments to react as a grudge almost pounced on her. Almost reflexively, a large mallet would slam into the grudge from the side, the impact reverberating loudly as the creature was batted away like a harmless fly. She had practiced making sure she could summon the weapon quickly nearly every day once she had gotten it. Good thing, apparently. "...whew...okay. Good. Safe. At least the rabbit ears are cute..." Clearing her throat, and lightly touching her new rabbit ears, she'd bounce after Hikari. Hopefully, Hikari hadn't seen her being totally uncool. "Right. Lead the way, boss."
