Jun was about to pull the trigger once the lights approached him. Thankfully, his finger was light on it and the hammer didn't actually hit the ice bullet inside the chamber at the time.
Jun dropped his arms to the sides and started watching both of the light spheres dancing around him. They did not seem to mean him any harm, so Jun decided to just watch them. Perhaps there was something about them and their dances that would make some kind of sense.
There were also the images playing back inside them. Though they made him extremely curious, Jun decided to refrain from touching them. If they went feral in a moment's notice and he could not protect himself because he was just curious, well, it would definitely be bad for him.
Perhaps going back to his house afterwards and checking over dances and other youkai will give him some insight on what they are actually trying to tell him. Of course, they wouldn't let the cryomancer feel smart again.
There was a sudden flash of light, coming from the garden. Jun instictively covered his eyes.
"Ah, wait!" Jun shouted once the bubbles left for the botanical garden.
It was both bad and yet it also served to inflate his ego. After all, he was right. The botanical garden seemed to be the source of everything that was happening here.
"Jot one down for the world's greatest ice gunslinger, Jun Kaiki, the Cryoslinger!" He proclaimed.
Luckily, there was no one to hear him and his boisterous claims. With a blush in his face, the man decided to leave for the botanical garden.
Once in front of it, he prepped his own ice grenade. Hopefully, the others were done too, and he needed to have them near. He also hadn't heard the explosion of any of theirs, so he assumed they were mostly okay.
As Kat had guessed, the ice grenade could do a bit more to a human body, or a youkai, should it be thrown at them. The explosion of ice would not only come as a shock and make them stagger, but it would also flash freeze the part of their body they hit them in. Both legs, An arm and half of their torso. The whole torso or their head.
The ice would last long, but it would certainly serve as a tactical advantage if push came to shove.
One of the reasons why Jun decided to throw the thing to the sky, which then exploded and produced a sound that would echo all across the park.
If they were going to come anyway, then Jun could very well wait for them inside. He decided to prep some traps.
He froze over the floor rightly in front of the garden, and then put up a floor with ice spikes, and an irregular step, so that any youkai would slip by the frozen floor, trip over the step and then impale, or at least hurt, themselves in the spikes.
It was visible enough from the outside, easily avoidable, but coming out in a rush from inside would probably end up in a probably fatal wound.
So, the cryomancer stepped inside... and did not expect himself to be the one trapped.
The rope was such a cliche trap, and yet one he did not anticipate.
When the girl approached him, a vein popped in his forehead. His glasses were also about to fall.
"You imbecile! Who did you expect, Santa Claus?! If you were hoping to catch an alien, they wouldn't be remotely as idiotic as to fall for this kind of stupid trap!"Then again, he fell for it.
"B-But it doesn't have anything to do at all with my current situation! Argh, just let me down already!" Still, the girl seemed to mostly ignore him.
So Jun created a pillar of ice below him and then trained his gun on the rope and froze it over. Another shot and the ice was shattered.
Jun landed on the ice and let out a sigh. He hurried to untie his feet and made the pillar gradually smaller until he was able to jump off of it with no damage done to either his pride nor his body.
He dusted himself off and was about to continue telling off Harumi, but the sudden appearance of the youkai before them made him ready both of his guns and prep more bullets. He dodged the first attack as easily as Harumi.
Then there was the joke about a holy grenade... Probably from Monty Python. He just hoped he was right.
Just for the sake of playing along, Jun readied another ice grenade, styled after said holy grenade, pulled out an ice pin and then shouted,
"One, two, five!"He would follow up with the three if someone followed up with the joke and then throw it at the bunny that had appeared before them.
It would probably freeze over a good part of it.
