Yuriha was paying close attention to the fight between Marcus and Hecate, so she didn't notice Orin's lecherous attempt of placing his arm around her shoulders, yet she effortlessly dodged it when she turned around to pick a pack of strawberry candies at her backpack.
"Say ah~ Ori-kyun!" Yuriha said as she playfully placed one of the candies inside Orin's gaping mouth.
However,
"!" Yuriha couldn't help but gasp when she saw Marcus taking off his shirt and baring his torso covered in sparkling sweat right before her eyes,
"Aniki you...!" She said while covering her eyes and blushing.
Yuriha was still a bit flushed when Marcus's fight ended and Orin stepped into his place, to confront Hecate, but when the still unclothed boy sat next to her Yuriha's face went from slight rosy to beet red and she said while stuttering,
"A... A... Aniki, you were gre... great! I... bet even He-chan was surprised." The fact that she didn't watched the conclusion of their fight, thanks to having her eyes covered, didn't even registered on Yuriha's confused mind.
Just as Orin and Hecate were about to clash weapons for the first time, Yuriha got up from her place and yelled,
"Ganbare, Ori-kyun! I know you can beat He-chan!" She kept cheering for a time, until Hecate shot her another death glare that silenced the puny foxgirl for good until it was her time to stand and fight.
When Orin finally stepped out of the 'arena', it was Yuriha's turn. Gasping, the foxgirl made her way to the center of field and stopped only when she was looking Hecate straight in the eyes,
"He-chan, I hope we'll have fun!" she said before putting on a pair of combat gloves that where hidden in one of the bushes.
"Don't expect me to go easy on you just because you didn't picked a weapon, you cheeky brat!" Hecate yelled before lunging at Yuriha with all of her speed, since she knew that the fox girl was more than able to hold herself in a brawl.
"Hehe, I knew you would do that, He-chan," Yuriha said as she used her tails to mask the path of her counter-punch, when Hecate tried to get her from behind just like she did with the others. It appeared that the short tempered blonde had thing for penetrating her foes from behind, but Yuriha couldn't even begin to fathom the reason for this...
Anyway, Yuriha used the momentary distraction to duck under Hecate's blade and then land a hard uppercut at her solar plexus, momentarily knocking the air out of the fiery tempered girl's lungs.
Yuriha then backed away and allowed Hecate to recover before resuming their fight. Hopefully now, after receiving a punch strong enough to split a tree in half, Hecate would remember that when it came to base stats Yuriha was second-to-none on Zeke's party. When Hecate's gaze met Yuriha's eyes again, the foxgirl's face was full of a feral joy as she bared her fangs and said in a quasi-growl,
"How about we begin the real fun now, He-chan?"
