She hadn't been paying the best of attention before this, but something about their attitude was... off. Why would a school project require them to be investigating a shrine maiden and... why would you forget that's why you were here if that was the entire reason that you had come to find out about them in the first place?

Though now she was distracted by Hanako's hair for some reason... "It's not that pretty, it's kind of messy really... um..."

Hanako stood up to her full height, trying to look older and more mature... with not all that much success, "What sort of school project needs you to talk to the local shrine maiden...?"

There was the ringing of metal on metal as the tail met the club, and a considerable amount of grumbling as the oni-themed girl blocked the magical energy; stamping hard enough to make a chunk of ground rise up in front of her--and almost as soon as it was done blocking, the debris was kicked forwards towards Sonya at high speed.

"Stop running away! You're the one who started this," the girl complained, this time actually giving some warning--and some idea of how she got behind Sonya in the first place--as she landed beside the other magical girl, club swinging. The debris had blocked the take-off but... she had to be jumping.

Jumping very well, in fact.
