[ dramatic gasp!! ] Could it truly be?! A tickle demon?! And you're after my books?! What a foul creature, targeting innocent maidens such as myself, zura! And taking the form of a harmless young lady- how sly, to have tricked a temple maiden!

[ She hugs the book tighter. ] But I shall not betray Shouhei Ouka-sensei by giving away Nobi to such a creature! Punish me as you like, but i shall protect my books, zura!!

[ All said, of course, in the same dramatic tone. Her delivery is truly worthy of a fist-clenching shounen protagonist. ]
