Iris slept peacefully.
Though she had said they would do it all afternoon, the reality was nowhere near as bold as her words.
Whenever Iris was about to reach her limit, she would forcibly switch to the other Iris and make her take the hit.
If you wanted to hurt this Iris, you first had to attack the other Iris, who had a taunt ability.
But something seemed to happen later. Iris apparently said something to herself, then switched from passive defense to active offense. Only when she was close to her limit did she turn soft and limp again.
Jonas only needed a moment to work out what was going on, and he sucked in a breath. Well, damn. You're taking hits for each other?
Seriously? Fine, fine, fine. So that's how you're playing this.
When the frail Iris was about to buckle, she switched to the assertive Iris, then switched back once the sensation had passed. When the assertive Iris was about to buckle, she switched to the frail Iris, let her weather a round, and then continued.
A tag-team battle, huh?
The tag-team tactic caught Jonas off guard at first, but once he realized what was happening, he immediately stepped on the gas.
He knew full well that the way to counter this sort of tag-team tactic was to turn up the intensity until Iris could not even switch characters and could only endure it passively.
But to put Iris out of action in one go, he would have to make sure she could not even take her next turn.
Fortunately, Iris was not like Esnie, who had both the stamina and an insatiable appetite. If there had been two Esnies, Jonas would probably have needed a good long rest.
"Mr. Jonas, it's almost evening, isn't it?"
