"If you speak of the woman in the water, then yes," Nobunaga responded, glancing back towards the man who had been so recently ejected from one of the tubes, "We know little more then you do, at the moment, which is why-"

And to think, just as they were about to depart, the birds chose to make their move. The earsplitting screech from one of the creatures struck the petite black-haired girl in an instant, the world suddenly sounding far duller and a ringing in her ears, one crimson eye shut as she winced, hand to her head. That damnable sound!

It followed up by leaping from its perch and swooping towards Nobunaga almost immediately...

But even though the small girl was still reeling from the shriek, that did not mean her capability in combat had suddenly left her. Certainly, she was known more for her strategy then personal combat skills, but...

What else could be expected of someone of Oda Nobunaga's background?

Her katana left its sheath, and was swung upwards, directly into the path of the attacking fowl. Either it would be cut, or deterred. In all honesty, after such a piercing sound, Nobunaga hoped for the former.
