"Well, I might have hit her a bit too hard with the dull side of my sword, but now that I think about it, she might have been mentally hurt by the demon." Maria said as she seemingly looked off into the distance, over at Arisu, who was actually coming closer, but at a slow speed. "Hmm, was she there before?"
Maria stared at the book, she could have sworn she's seen it before, in her male life. She began wondering whether it was a copy, or the real thing. If it was the real thing, Maria could only wonder how the girl in front of her got it.
"My mother gave it to me, it's just an old spell book. I mainly use it for dimension hopping, with a friend, but I sorta lost him on the way here, eh-heh."
Arisu facepalmed, but the impact made a sound loud enough that you think she slapped herself. "I..am an idiot." Arisu said primarily to herself.
"No need to call yourself an idiot." Maria added sincerely. "Not like you've seen me looking like this before, it's okay, I guess. I just overreacted. I really should of just told you the moment I saw you with that book." Maria turned towards Yama. "This was the 'guy' I was looking for. I guess it's safe to assume transforming and switching genders is common here."
