Chase Battle - Drunkenness and Relaxation

Bwahahaha! This is such fun! Such fun!

It ain't fun for you! Your eyes aren't laughing at all!

Humph. Don't insult me. I'm just not used to laughing.

To laugh from the bottom of one's heart, huh... I can't do it like Shuten.

She got away again...

But I could tell we were hitting her. We're wearing her down, I think.

Let's just stay calm and be careful.

I-Is it? I'm glad...

Yes. We need to recover our strength as well.

？！

Let's retreat a little and make camp. That should let us talk to the Doctor as well.

Hmm... Got it. Thanks for the report. Just keep it up and don't let your guard down.

Sorry. There's just so much static near the gate that I can't analyze anything or communicate with you.

By the way... Fujimaru.

How's Mash looking? Is she, um, drunk? (Psst psst)

Is she? But...

？！

Dinner's ready, Senpai! We're having what Mr. Golden requested, golden rice balls.

Since we're on the battlefield, it's curry-flavored! Everyone loves curry! But unfortunately your fingers get a little sticky.

There's only one way to deal with this. Open wide, Senpai!

Y-Yeah... The same, huh?

If she's normal during combat, and near that gate,

maybe she's just barely keeping it under control when she's near danger, perhaps?

？！

Is it the same as the way Kintoki said he's overflowing with power?

Senpai...you're not going to eat it? You're not going to open wide?

？！

I'm glad. Here, open up!

Is it good? I've got more!

W-Well, I'm just glad it's not interfering with the battle.

I don't know what's going on, but clearly, there's some kind of alcohol in the air there.

Until we can deal with the root cause, it won't go away.

You'll have to make the best of what you've got.

...Oh, right. I did come up with a plan. Something I wanted you to try when you had the time...
