[color=a2d39c]"Ow."[/color] Miyu said as she was whacked in the head, but it really didn't seem like she meant it. Apparently she still had her Mantle up, so Juno wouldn't know exactly how hard to hit her to cause pain through that, without killing her instantly if it wasn't up. Unless Juno was awesome enough at general angelic magic to know on sight how strong Miyu's casting of the spell was, in which case it would be more genuine. Either way, once she finished grieving, she'd respond back, [color=a2d39c]"Well, sorry we can't all be uncountable ancient crones."[/color] about the alcohol business.

[color=a2d39c]"Well, that idea's useless then."[/color] Miyu commented to herself on the Hoho's response, looking down in thought time to get hit by Dora, and get a facefull of dirt, her spell having apparently stopped by then.

[color=a2d39c]~Maybe I deserve the "quit being a bitch and go help" pep talks. But right now, I still feel like people had just avoided answering my questions, and honestly, why am I still fighting for these people? Inertia? Boredom?~[/color]

[color=a2d39c]~Hell. Even the Imperator's advice was damn sucky, maybe even worse than last time which was 'here, blind person with a concussion, let me summon a shield that you don't know how to use near you'. Yeah, I'll just git gud and succeed, because totally a little willpower would make me the deciding factor. And then the Valkyrie summons... Was that a good idea, to piss off one of your allies by using someone else's powers to steal their troops? And bring them into a place where they might be stuck for a few months or permanently killed, no nexus Resurrection? If they were mine, I'd be right pissed.[/color]

And then, looking up from the dirt. Miyu saw hope. [color=a2d39c]~Whoever that guy is, I am joining his team for the next battle. Didn't matter what side he was on.~[/color] And so the Bonesword succeeded where Shizuka had failed.

Miyu got in the Diamyo, and made for the whiskey with vigor and speed. Which in the giant armor mech, was still slower than anyone else.
