>You move and twist in mid-air, adding as much speed as you can and flying through the few kunai she's conjured. You feel the bottom of your bucket thump into her face satisfactorily, muffling a cry of surprise from her.
>You can feel her fall back, and could easily pin her down if you wished. You could land on her face, which is very disorienting and uncomfortable for the victim, but also difficult to find and keep purchase on. You could also pin her by her torso, which is pretty easy to maintain as long as you like and leaves you in a good position to rifle through any pockets she may have. However, this does nothing to restrain the arms. You could also land on her legs, but there's no real advantage to it; you'd be easier to reach. Or you could just keep moving.

>She has largely held them out in front of her, and she has certainly been reasonably stiff in her movements thus far, as well as rather slow in her flight.

>You land heavily on her torso, knocking the wind from her and cutting off a cry, and get to looting, finding two pockets in her shirt and quickly grabbing the few items in there.
>You obtain: Wad of Old Papers
>You obtain: Disk-shaped Rock
>You obtain: Small Stone Figurine

>You decide you're done with this, and start heading southward toward the fence.
>Thankfully, you don't see or hear any danmaku or worse, coming your way. You hear your opponent cry out, "She went west, masteeeeeer!" You don't hear any replies to that; you aren't sure if she's just shouting additional information, or if they are communicating somehow. She does sound a bit closer than she was beforehand, so you imagine she's moving.
>You reach the fence without any problems. Ahead, you can see more sparse trees and wild grass with some intermittent foliage and old tree stumps.
