“Huh?”
Mitsubachi Maniwa finally wised up.
The poison, what happened to the poison?
Not the Harlequin Butterfly, not the Kyotoryu footwork, and not the Mantis Talons or the Blunderbuzz – none of it should have been possible for somebody stung twice by poisoned caltrops!
She had been about to faint!
In so much pain – what happened to the pain?
“I faked it.”
Nanami spoke plainly, and unapologetically.
“A poison that can’t even kill? That’s nothing for me. I knew you guys were trying to capture me alive. You never would have used a poison strong enough to hurt me.”
“Whuh…”
What the hell… Was she saying that she could have dodged both of the caltrops but let them hit her anyway? Was she insinuating she had feigned exhaustion just so he’d lower his guard?!
To see the Blunderbuzz up close and personal.
To get Mitsubachi Maniwa to talk.
Was she really telling him that she had tricked him, to make sure Mitsubachi was the third and final ninja on the island?
