Mitoshi Durability

(Frozen Summer, Chapter 5)

The two brothers watched in stunned silence as the bits of hail came to life, pulling together with a mind of their own and melted into water. The liquid shape of Mitoshi's body steadily reformed itself before their eyes. The girl turned back to normal, in a silly pose with one leg up and an arm up high, sticking her tongue out at the boys.

“That was … unreal,” Antoshi remarked in awe. Mitoshi giggled in response, walking over to them with a content smile.

“Wow, Mitoshi,” Latoshi said, his lips curling into a grin, “that was one hell of a move you pulled out. I wish I was half as clever as you are.”

“Thanks,” she replied, with a weak chuckle. She groaned as she suddenly fell to a knee.

“Hey, you okay?” Latoshi asked, as he and his brother rushed to her side.

Mitoshi grinned and nodded. “Yeah, just … feeling really beat. That last-ditch effort really wiped out my spirit energy.”
