"Please don’t drag me into such a thing. I don’t have a youkai’s strength or stamina."

"It's no fun if it's just three people, though. C'mon, I'm sure you could handle it!"

☱ Any updates in his tome?

In the Cloaked Man’s worn leather tome, a few pages have been added to those previously on Meira (translated from a very heavily cypher-encrypted blend of Czech, Finnish, and German):

It took some time, but I’ve eventually managed to discover the name of the samurai who nearly killed me over bad timing and a hot spring. Meira.

Granted, she doesn’t seem to like me especially, but she has some measure of trust in me due to my honorable… or at least attempts to be honorable about my actions.

We don’t talk that much, really. You’d think two dwellers of the same forest would run into each other more often, but sadly such is not the case, at least here. But I still manage to run into her here and there, usually to find her training hard as usual to attain a higher power from within…

Still, I count her as a friend, especially after her help during the Red Moon Incident… I can only hope she sees me in the same light…

More sketches of Meira, including diagrams of some of the sword-forms she’s used, are also nestled in those pages. One of the sketches in question is a close-up of her face, showing her somewhat bloodied and wet from rain, yet with an expression of surprise and and mild bewilderment from his handing her a poultice, in the wake of their last (and most intense) Sparring match.

"Put your arm around me, I'll help you walk."

ironic we sent each other the exact same prompt…

The huge man could only groan as he tried to comply. “…just… I hope I’m not too heavy for you… there are times when I hate being this big…”

[hriobzagelthewanderer]

"Don’t touch me."

The man looks a touch uneasy, then nods with a small, depressed sigh… “…if you insist…”

…well, she’s not that close of a friend, I guess… not even a pat on the back is a good idea then… I should have expected I’d face limits in how well I can relate to people…

Suddenly, a flurry of 呪 symbols flew at the puppeteer. How will Alice respond?

Somebody play the Metal Gear Solid alert noise. 

One of the symbols hit dead center on one of her accompanying dolls, causing it to detonate violently... near her face. Whether or not it had intentionally blocked the shot (That of which would imply that Alice was aware of it and blocked it), it was enough to get her attention and jump back, eyeing her surroundings for the location of her attacker.

All at once, a flurry of 呪 symbols came rushing at the giant. A child's cry of "Curse!" could be heard from the source of the symbols.

"…Oh, skvělý… jako kdybych se ptal na trávení se všemi alkoholu jsem allready spotřebovanou…"

With a hungover groan and a force of will, he cringes as he draws the curses in, and breaks them down into pure energy…

…however, he has to fight not to vomit during the process as he leans against a tree.

"At this point, it could be called sparring, yes?" ☭

Battle Theme: Korpiklaani - Paljon On Koskessa Kiviä

Battle intro: ”…Sparring… certainly… I haven’t been able to find someone to simply spar against before… Thank you ever so much for this!”

Victory: ”…well, this round seems to be mine… but I’d be lying if I said that was anywhere near easy…”

Defeat: ”Sie ein, dass man beim nächsten Mal … Ich gehe nicht einfach!”

Assist: ”Hey! NO INTERRUPTIONS!!”

Taunt: *holds arms wide open, laughs, and motions for her to strike at him almost playfully*

Reacting to Taunt: *Puts hands on his hips, shakes his head with a wide grin, chuckles, and resumes a ready stance*

Flee: ”Time Out! Besides, your blade looks like it needs a split-second’s polishing…”

Reacting to Flee: ”Water Break… good idea… Warte auf mich~!”

Tie: *looks at her, grins, and breaks out into laughter* “Auch hier bitte! That was too much fun to stop now~!”

Perfect Victory: *Scratches his head and looks uneasy* ”Well… I think I have a suggestion about how you use that sword, then… just the one though.”

Finishing Move: *The man grins, spins and does a kneeling slide, blocking an overhead strike of Meira’s before tossing the blade out of her hands with some effort, and then shoving his mini-hakkero at her face… when she tries to dodge, she moves into the punch thrown by his other hand and is knocked out for a few moments before he helps her back up*
