>"Put that thing away before you make me mad. We both know you aren't going to do anything with. You really want to add murder to this? You really want the cops on you for that. Because look how many witnesses there are. You think the pigs aren't going to jump at the chance to take one of you down for murder? Get that thing out of my face."
>Stand up. Prepare for another blow to the back, if someone is being playful.

>Your speech drove the hammy Sukeban beyond angry.
>The moment you stand up, she reaches forward faster than you can blink, and grabs you by your neck.
>"Alright, you daughter of a bastard!" She tells you while simultaneously squeezing your neck and pressing the handgun against your head. "You've got 3 seconds to say you're sorry, or else!"

>You try to knee the hammy Sukeban, but your knee ends up colliding with the crowbar wielded by one of the Sukeban mooks.
>"1... 2..." She begins counting.
>You can see her trigger finger begin to tighten slightly. Better do something, or hope something happens within the next second...

//Don't worry, you're not going to die here.

>If we've been hit in the knee, we're probably off balance. Let's go with that and fall forward; aiming out forehead at her face. And then catch ourself.

//Did you miss the neck grip or something?

>Getting hit in the knee did not cause you to fall forward, as the hammy Sukeban still has a grip on your neck.
>"3! See you in hell, bitch!" She announces as she starts to pull the trigger of the handgun...
>...But was thwarted at literally the last second by Nitori throwing her (still full) bowl of yakisoba at the handgun.
>The unexpected hit threw off the hammy Sukeban's aim, causing her to shoot one of the Sukeban mooks in the shoulder instead.

>Now kick the ham in the solar plexus!

//That was two days ago. Read:
>The moment you stand up, she reaches forward faster than you can blink, and grabs you by your neck.

//And now, back to the CYOA proper:

>Taking this opportunity, you deliver a kick to the hammy Sukeban's solar plexus.
>If that didn't knock her out cold, it disoriented her enough to make her release her grip on your neck and then stumbles backward.
>You notice the handgun flying out of her hand as she is falling over.
>You also notice one of the crowbar-wielding Sukeban mook turning her attention on Nitori, crowbar raised and ready to bring down on the Kappa, sharp end first.

Didn't I just say "I forgot" and "my bad"? Cos I'm pretty sure I just did.

>Deck Crowbar in the back or side of the head, whichever is presented to us. OR front, if that's what we have access to. Fist plus head action on Crowbar

>You then see Nitori throwing the other bowl of yakisoba over your shoulder, hitting someone behind you.

>You dodge that punch, then throws one yourself at the Sukeban, hitting her right in the chest.
>Unfortunately, she appears to be tough enough to shrug it off, as she then retaliate with a jab to your face.

>You hit right back.
>This time, it works, as the Sukeban mook stumbles and then falls on her back. She's not out cold, but she's probably too disoriented to stand back up for a while.
>Now there is just one Sukeban left.
>The last Sukeban just stands there for a few seconds before dropping her crowbar on the floor. "Screw it!" She says before bolting out of the door.

>You grab the crowbar.
>ITEM OBTAINED: Crowbar - Made to open crates, not to kill zombies.
>"I'm fine. Thanks." Nitori answers you.
>You then go pick up the gun, and finds that it is indeed loaded.
>ITEM OBTAINED: Handgun (ammo: 6) - An ordinary handgun. This one's definitely loaded.
>You then notice the hammy Sukeban coming to, and standing up.
>"You lousy...!" She angrily tells you.

>The hammy Sukeban doesn't listen to your threat.
>"You have no idea what you are getting yourself into, bitch." She warns you.
>Before you can respond to her, she is promptly silenced by Nitori clubbing her in the head with a crowbar (presumably the one dropped by the Sukeban mook that was shot in the shoulder earlier).
>"What a bunch of arrogant loudmouths!" The Kappa declares, then drops the crowbar.

>ITEM OBTAINED: Ward of Cash ($50000)
>This Ward of Cash is as thick as the last one you looted.
>"Heh, they've got much money yet still demands more." Nitori comments. "Must be some kind of overblown money fetish..."
>You then notice the restaurant's waitress standing there, staring at you after everything that had just happened.
