Becoming an Oni in this land of illusion

Chapter 5

I am facing a girl that has aqua-blue eyes and long, scarlet hair that symbolizes both her name and the place that she's guarding. Her green beret and dress resemble traditional Chinese clothing mixed with the red guard uniform. Her beret has a gold star on the front with the Traditional Chinese character that is read and pronounced as "lóng" in standard Chinese and means dragon.

I'm surprised I know everything about that when I have no idea what type of clothes I am wearing

Something like kemono? Kimono? Yukata...? Yeah it's yukata the clothes, not the feeling

Meiling: why are you helping the thief?

Ibaraki: is it a thief if they enter the front gate?

Meiling: I...

Ibaraki: what is it called if the guard let the thief in?

Meiling: what?

Ibaraki: I have no idea but from what I recall it's called incompetence

Meiling: You!

I'm glad... She bit it

Now let me test how tanky I am

Ohh...? It seems she is a practitioner of tai-chi

Do your best Human

--------

Meiling thrust her palm towards the standing Oni and a burst of air can be seen When her palm connected

Meiling: eh?

Ibaraki: is that it?

Meiling: not yet!

Meling throws out a barrage of kicks and punches

And she used two of her fist to make Ibaraki stagger but she shakes it off like its nothing

Ibaraki: quite a disappointment...

Ibaraki: you should start from scratch that didn't even hurt

Meiling: it's not over!

Meiling shoots Ki towards Ibaraki but the result is the same as before

Ibaraki: I guess it's my turn...

Ibaraki's single step has gouged the ground and her hand is in front of Meiling

Marisa: Ibaraki! Let's go!

Ibaraki: Okay!

But Marisa has appeared so Ibaraki stopped at the perfect moment and go toward Marisa

Ibaraki: next time please put up a fight as a fellow that likes hand-to-hand combat

Ibaraki follows Marisa as Meiling looks at the departing Oni as her legs give up

Meiling: I almost died

--------------------------------------------------------------

I'm satisfied with the test earlier I could conclude that I'm pretty much resilient though I staggered because I think too deeply at that time and I'm surprised by the sudden silhouette right near my eye

Marisa: did something great happened?

Ibaraki: yeah, the human earlier she practices martial arts and I hope she grows stronger so we can fight next time
