Ripple Tricks Micchan

It wasn’t the short sword—that weapon had been turned into the plane tool. This one was longer; it was the katana the ninja had been using earlier. The machine gun’s fire had shot another katana high into the sky and Micchan hadn’t seen where it landed.

It hadn’t been knocked aside. The ninja had made it look as if her katana had been bashed out of her grip, while she’d actually thrown it high into the air. She’d gone so far as losing her balance and leaving herself open to commit to pretending it had been knocked away in an attempt to trick Micchan. — Damn it…

More than having been tricked, Micchan was frustrated that the ninja had blocked the fire of the machine gun with ease. Through her clouding vision, Micchan could see the ninja getting to her feet. Micchan couldn’t get up. The gesture of the ninja raising up her kunai looked strangely slow.
