"I'd rather not let them drown, so yes," Jotou answered.
The slime-woman lifted a hand to her lips and smiled wide, "Then beg."
"Huh?"

"Sobi switch," Jotou hushed. 'I can't close the distance in time.' The blonde's eyes wandered the bodies submerged in water. 'And even if I hit her, that doesn't guarantee their safety. …You'll die by this blade, I swear.'
Swallowing her pride, her narrowed eyes stared daggers at Beauregard. "Tang." The Skyslayer hit the marble floor and Jotou kneeled down.
