How to Catch a Kitsune

Chapter 7: Trust in Ice Cream

*Is this what people call Deja Vu?*

= I suppose it is. Dodge right =

*What? OH SH-*

CRAAAASH

So... Here I am, back at square one. Though this time the room is now brighter, and the girl is much, MUCH angrier. As if wanting to kill me, her barrage of attacks is much more intense than before. Add to that the fact that she can now manipulate the movements of her mirror at her will, dealing with her is now is akin to trying to open a jar of pickles-

CRAAASH

BANG

BOOOM

-You'd much prefer just breaking the jar than go through the effort of getting the lid off.

Unfortunately for me, I don't like making a mess of the kitchen.

"Your majesty, I seem to fail to recognize the reason for this sudden act of aggression. Can you please elaborate on why you are doing THIS-"

CRAAASH

*So when did she get the ability to make her mirror fly around all willy-nilly? I mean it's cool, but how the heck does that work?"

= Though there are multiple working theories regarding manipulation of objects, it seems that she is using the theory of manipulation of objects via Energy Attachment Circulation =

*Yeah, but doesn't that mean she needs constant contact with the object?*

= Observe. Though she is able to manipulate the mirror, she still holds the chain attached to it. Though other theories do apply, the fact that she still uses the chain when she attacks suggests that her control of the mirror is not strong enough that she can rely on her manipulation to use the mirror as an offensive force =

*Wait, this also follows the Energy Distribution Force theory so why not that?*

= Though that theory is similar, the fact that the chain's movements appear to be normal instead of following the mirror disproves that theory. Now watch your right =

*Got it*

Avoiding the serrated vanity item that was aiming for my neck, I jump, dodge and weave all over the place in order to not get hit by her majesty. But every time I do, more of the surrounding area gets destroyed. Splinters of wood and shards of ceramic flying in all directions as Amaterasu's mirror flies everywhere in an attempt to get me. She refuses to answer me, and if this continues-

BOOOOOOM

-This is never going to end. I have to somehow get this situation turned around, I just need an opening.

= Unfortunately for you, you are cornered =

*Shut it.*

Being backed up against the wall in the bedroom area, I am approached by her majesty in a very menacing way. She coils the chain around her arm and not a split second too soon, yanks on the chain attached to her mirror and it goes flying towards me.

= It's coming right for you. If you dodge, the room will sustain more damage. If you don't, you'll sustain more damage. Personally, I'd choose the latter option =

*Tsk. Damn it all.*

Not wanting to go with either option, I attempt to deflect it with my ax in the hopes that it bounces back to her.

Unfortunately for me, that didn't happen. I didn't deflect it and instead only managed to veer it off course slightly to the right, leaving me slightly disoriented but nonetheless safe. Can't say the same for the wall to my left though.
