It seemed Alice either didn’t hear Shizuka, or chose to ignore his words entirely. Unfortunate, as he really didn’t want to draw his sword so soon after a mission. Further adding to his annoyance, Liliana had made a repeat of the fiasco at the now destroyed shipyard. Another bovine had graced them with its presence. Thankfully, Shizuka barely needed to inch away to avoid getting flattened by the farm animal. Some of the other task members began to speak up, taking Shizuka’s side naturally.  [color=0072bc]”My apologies, I was assisting one of our new members on a mission we just got done with. We can talk about it more once I handle this, in the meantime I ask that no one else interfere.”[/color] He stated. 

Unfazed by the fire magic she set on display, his eyes never lost sight of her even as she propelled herself high into the air. He heard her distinctly mutter the phrase “Heavenly Strike”. Did she have the ability to copy other people’s techniques? No matter, as that certainly wouldn’t be enough to give her an edge in this case.

Alice may have been looking at Shizuka from above right now, she would soon be looking at him at eye level. In the very instant she uttered the name of her attack, the swordsman had followed her into the air almost instantly. His expression was calm, yet was underlined with annoyance.

At that moment, Alice would find herself subjected to an icy barrage of slashes, so cold that it may have very well dispelled the trail of fire that followed her into the sky. Shizuka’s intention was to knock the mamono back without seriously hurting her. Hopefully the cuts received would be minor, along with feeling a bit of numbness.

The two sisters continued to watch the drama unfold; Atsuha took note that Takeshi had returned. Hopefully that meant that things with him and his native comrades went well. 

[color=7bcdc8]”I feel this is all Gringor’s fault. It’s very rude to deny a girl's feelings in such a blunt way. Especially by saying something so hurtful on top of it. I think Shizuka should be attacking him instead!”[/color] Hinami said, showing a bit of concern for her hatter teammate. 

[color=9e0b0f]”Love, I don’t really think that’s the point of the matter. Although, I am concerned that he may end up hurting the poor girl. Her demonic energy still hasn’t fully recovered yet, and I’m sure he can see that she’s injured.”[/color] Saying that, Atsuha knew that their captain was a sharp fellow, so all she could do was trust he would put a swift end to this before things got too out of hand.
