Fujiwara and Ayame quietly trailed behind the rest of the party, warily watching around them for any sign of an ambush. As Suki and Yui began to involve themselves in the actual fight as bait, Fujiwara shook his head and sighed. "Geez... You guys... You're crazy, you know that?" he said to himself before the Dire Werewolf began to howl. Wincing in slight pain from the noise, Fujiwara quickly unsheathed his katana and held it with both hands as Umichi called out to them that enemy minions were on the way. Just as the party leader had predicted, wolves began to spring out of the outskirts of the forest. Sighing, Fujiwara deftly slashed through two wolves with <>, one after the other, before turning to Ayame. "Crap, I got too relaxed there!" he shouted as he rushed to Ayame, who had been surrounded by a good seven or eight wolves. Just as he was about to use <> to clear them, Ayame quickly swung her scythe around her and used <>, which caused the wolves around her to be caught up either on or within the scythe, while the wolves nearby seemed to be forced back with the force. Ayame quickly followed up the attack with <>, impaling the wolves (which had been gathered up onto one point because of her earlier attack) all at once. Breathing a sigh of relief, Fujiwara quickly turned around and dashed on over to a wolf about to attack Umichi from behind and quickly decapitated it with <>. "Well... I guess AoE's great in boss fights. It makes farming a hell of a lot easier, at least." Fujiwara said casually before tearing through another dire wolf. "AoE?" Ayame asked in response before Fujiwara shook his head. "Area of affect. Don't worry, I'll give you a rundown of gamer turns later." he responded before they moved out to keep the area clear of wolves.
