[Daigo is alone with that monster? A moment of panic seizes him, and it's almost as though he can feel the impostor's blade digging deep into his side again. He keep a tight rein on his expression, though, reminding himself that Daigo has faced far worse opponents and survived before this.
Ucchii is good at concealing his injury too. He took some time after he and Lilo had gotten to safety to bandage it properly. He knows he's running a huge risk going into battle like this; even with his accelerated healing rate in this world and his careful first aid, another fight is sure to reopen the wound. But he's confident he can at least get Ian to the silver which, if it works, would give them a desperately needed advantage.
He couldn't live with himself if he did not at least try.]
We could look for a pack of them near the store and isolate one at the back to test it out. If the others double back for him, I can hold them off until you have tried the silver.
