[Episode 58969] [Episode 58969]Usagi frowned. She had sticky barbecue all over her favorite pajamas and she was not happy about that fact. So she reached up and grabbed the monster's head between her hands, and snapped her head up and foreward, sharply and viciously butting the monster in the nose with herforehead in the time-honored Gladwegian way.
As the monster reeled away in agony, clutching its nose, a caloused hand boxed it across the cheek with a wicked right-cross, immediately followed by (forgive me) a rabbit punch right in the thing's gut. This allowed her enough leeway to wrigle her way out from under the thing's weight.
Usagi snatched the butterfly knife off her dresser, flicking it open with a smooth, practiced motion. She turned to face the approaching monster, then lunged forward at just the right moment. She brought her left forearm to shield her flank from the raking claws of the monster, aquiring only a few shallow scratches, as she thrust the knife from above to sink into the creature's eye. The beast howled, clutching at its eye, leaving itself open to Usagi's next move.
With skill borne of long practice, the knife slid between the monster's armored scales and ribs, slicing the thing's lungs and piercing the creature's heart. Just for good measure, she drew out the knife and sent it south to slice open the thing's belly. Guts spilled out of the thing's abdomen. The creature slumped forward onto the ground, and did not move again.
Usagi opened her window, letting fresh air fill the room. Knocking a small pack from her dresser against her palm, she drew from that pack a white cylindrical object with her lips. With a flick of steel on flint, a small flame appeared above the metallic flame guard of the lighter. The flames licked against the end of the white stick, igniting it. Usagi inhaled.
The craving within her body calmed somewhat as the cigarette smoke filled her lungs. She was addicted to nicotine—there was no two ways about it. She exhaled the white vaporous smoke as she watched the monster crack and break down before her eyes, turning into smoke or dust or whatever it was for this batch of monsters.
Her addiction taken care of, she examined her wound. It wasn't very deep, but it was bleeding. Better take care of it... after she finished her cig.
Ikuko looked at Usagi as she entered the kitchen and sighed. Her daughter, the delinquent. She was dressed in her delinquent-clothes, a rather simple design that nonetheless succeeded to inflame passion in the opposite sex. Tight black pants, a black-lace bra, and a long-sleaved white blouse left unbuttoned over her bosom to expose said black-lace bra. The only thing that looked out of place was her hairstyle, tied up in two odangoes.
Nobody called her 'meatball head' to her face more than once. Not with the arsenal of weapons she habitually carried, albeit hidden to the naked eye.
"Yo, ma," said the girl casually as she went to her spot at the breakfast table. She started devouring her meal with great rapidity.
Ikuko sighed again. "Hello, Usagi-chan," she said as cheerfully as she could manage while knowing that Usagi would spend her free day up to no good. Usagi simply grunted in response and continued eating. Again, Ikuko wondered where she went wrong.
"Thanks for the grub, mom," Usagi grunted and strode out of the house
