"Last warning. Give it back."
"Heh. Sure, sure."
Though Horikita's face was pale and she was panting hard, her gaze remained sharp.
Ibuki tossed the bag carelessly onto the ground, raised her hands, and slowly backed away.
Horikita stepped forward and reached for the bag. Then she quickly raised both hands in front of herself, blocking Ibuki's sudden sweeping kick and sliding several steps backward.
