That was a great showing of David vs Goliath moment. Plans sometimes won't go through and has to be adjusted on the fly and I think the author did a great job of showing Shiro's adaptability and why he's the strategist of the Tea Party. And I surprised myself by liking Demiqras more than I thought I would, his character develpment was great. But what made my jaw drop was that ending, because WHAT?! I think even Shiro didn't predict this one.
