At the tug on his arm, he keeps retreating step by step, still trying to stay in front of his companion so he doesn't get hit by retaliatory projectiles. Minakami's not sure where this all went wrong. This must be something his parents told him not to do, right? Harassing yokai in the street? No, that had been about chasing stray cats and trying to bring them home and getting clawed for it. That lecture probably still applies. This is one of many misadventures he's not telling his parents about if he ever gets home.

When Kamui calls out to them, Minakami passes the canister back to Tama, before he can grab more rocks and draw more aggro from the tsurube otoshi. "I'll hold them off while you grab it. I'll be fine...! Uehara -- you must know these streets better than us-- how do we lose them?"
