as birds are fighting in the distance Fujima asks "So.. what other dangers are there? I mean, it cant be that bad since you gave me this "spectacular" knife"
rolling her eyes Keiaru responds in an aggravated but reserved tone "Ignoring your sarcasm this bandit king has recruited many of the previous bandi-"
As an arrow that cut through wind and sentences flew toward the duo Keiaru pulls Fujima back and swats the arrow to the ground but with no time she forced to dodge a swing from a flat club that could be heard from the tree Fujima was hiding behind and as another arrow flies at her she kicks off the club wielding brawler and steps in cover at the side of a tree and all action is paused when she draws her sword.
"Who are you! State your name before I kill you."
In a loud boisterous tone the stubby but muscular assailant answers "Gahahahaha, I am the Thunderous Raimotaro and over there he is Kumotaro."
Coming out of cover Fujima asks "Does he not have a second name?"
Raimotaro sighs and mutters(I knew it would happen) now loud again he shouts "He thinks the name is lame but he has no better ideas and as the eldest i must respect his decision" Kumotaro who was much taller with less muscles shouts "I AM THE OLDER BROTHER"
after sighing loudly like this happens a tiring amount of times begins to scold Raimotaro "Don't reveal so much information-" getting cut off which seemed to be a habit of the brothers Raimotaro argues "you are way too cautious around dead people!" "now lets fight!!"
having time to understand the situation Keiaru leaps towards the archer and tells Fujima to deal with Raimotaro.
"W-wait what?! how!?"
"use the knife."
"Are you serious!!!"
during the spout Raimotaro unleashes a devastating swing that Fujima dodged due to the noise it made Then ducks under another and stabs the bandit on his foot dashing off deeper into the forest after shouting in pain Raimotaro slowly trots after him. When he reached an opening he sees Fujima resting at a tree out of breath then throws the knife stabbed in his foot at the tired fisherman slightly cutting Fujima's nose who then grabs it and prepares for another battle. As The two bleeding men begin their next round Keiaru deflects another arrow dodging two more that followed shortly after She dashes but Kumotaro shoots another flurry of arrows causing Keiaru step to the side then leap back to dodge the arrows.
Realizing she can't just out speed him before he shoots she begins running around and picking up the arrows on the ground but finds her self close to the battle of Fujima and Raimotaro and as if it was going all to the bandits plan Kumotaro shoots an arrow forcing Keiaru to be back to back with Fujima.
Now cornered before getting a chance to plan an attack the brothers begin their "Storm Tactic" which allow Raimotaro to swing as hard as he wanted while Kumotaro shot from a safe place.
Keiaru busy protecting herself and Fujima from the rain of arrows while they dodge the heavy club she shouts to Fujima to use his net but..
"I cant! there is too much going on"
"didn't you continue fishing during a hurricane?"
"how did you- never mind . This! is a storm that wants"
"Will you at least try for the sake of our lives"
"Alright but you have to protect me even better"
"Deal!"
Fujima pulls out his net and balls it up for the right moment and as Raimotaro charges in to break Fujima Fujima copies the technique Keiaru used on the arrow and bashes the club into the ground but he accidentally stands on it then Raimotaro tosses him up so Kumotaro could shoot him but before he could Keiaru starts throwing the arrows she picked up toward the archer But as Raimotaro tries to stop her Fujima twists around and throws the net and the knife while in the air and while the net wrapped around the charging bandit the knife missed and cut the string so Keiaru tosses the bandit at his brother as a last ditch attack causing them to crash into the tree having been defeated.
Then as if some sort spirit held Fujima up so long he suddenly dropped and dashing swifter than usual Keiaru catches him and puts him down.
While they take a breather Keiaru is helping Fujima with his nose cut when she breaks the silence by saying "is that a good enough reason to sharpen your knife?"
and when Fujima touches his nose he simply says "Fair enough"
