...Though, admittedly, both the Hermit and the Oni seemed to endure the force of Nue's attack very well!
<span class="mu-i">"Hm! Are you sure you want to do this much longer?"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"Gah! What a monstrous durability!"</span>
<span class="mu-s">Ibaraki Kasen HP: 9800</span>
<span class="mu-s">Ibuki Suika HP: 5924</span>
You opened your eyes and saw that your Suika shield was now squirming out of your grasp, the Oni finally deigning to stand on her feet.
<span class="mu-i">"Pah! What in the world is going on? Why do I feel like some bug is shooting things at me?!"</span>
"...W-Why, that's because there is one! They're trying to uh... break your gourd!" You said as your eyes fell to the sake gourd she always had on her person, leaking sake as she held it upside down.
<span class="mu-i">"Huh?! My personal, refilling gourd?! Hey! You snotty idiot! That's unforgivable! I'm gonna send you straight to Hell!"</span> Suika puffed as she stomped the ground in a bout of anger.
The stomp seemed to tremble the entire forest, and you fell backwards! Kasen seemed more concerned with Suika now than Nue! An angry, drunk Suika was never a good thing! The Youkai herself was seemingly terrified of the sudden show of force!
That was until at least, Suika dropped her gourd and then stopped to pick it up, and you realized she was still half-asleep, really she was sleepwalking.
<span class="mu-i">"Wait... Aha! Ohh! That's right, my gourd can't be broken! I made it strong enough so that I never accidentally break it myself! I don't have anything to worry about!"</span> The Oni said as she fell flat on her butt and raised the gourd cheerily. <span class="mu-i">"Come on, Kasen! You got this! Teach em' a lesson! Waha!"</span>
"What are you doing?! Help her!" You say, mortified at her becoming mere moral support instead of fighting.
<span class="mu-i">"She can take it!"</span> Suika insisted.
Nue began to laugh. <span class="mu-s">"Fighting a bunch of drunkards like this... it's almost too easy. True, you might have big, scary attacks, but you've yet to see what else I can with my ability... until now!"</span>
