"Little bastard..." Unfortunately, Sogo Doma's explanation did not win Shizuka Hiratsuka's approval. Well, that was hardly surprising—he had subdued her in a single move, after all. Yet even while restrained, Shizuka Hiratsuka refused to admit defeat. "I'm not believing your nonsense again! Damn it, I can even send that gorilla from Kondo Dojo flying now..."

"If I said..." However, Sogo Doma
