Shoichi continued his unlikely contest against Mifuyu Yukimura, knowing full well that if it wasn't for the fact that he had his armor equip during this fight that he'd end up fatally wounded if not worse.
He knew he couldn't keep this up forever, he didn't have endless amounts of spirit energy and to that end he hoped his friends would tag in once it was time.
He stole glances at Yir, hoping that she'd break the ice and set Tsukumo free so that they could decide on their next plan of action.
Shoichi didn't know how likely it was that they'd win, she just seemed too strong and without any discernible sign of fatigue.
It just felt like she was ramping up and up and up and they had no way of contesting her seriously.
He didn't want to think too negatively about their chances so he focused on hoping for the best and holding out the only way he knew how to.
