How should Keiko handle the turrets?

Keiko can trick both turrets into firing on their own master! (16 Body, 16 Cunning)

Immediately, the turrets began firing a nonstop spit of round, black seeds like bullets from their bud nozzles. Those turrets might have been summoned here to aid Shiryoku automatically... but there was just it. They were firing automatically! The question is... would they stop if Shiryoku herself got in their way? You told Keiko it was a good enough opportunity to risk the danger, then instructed her to close in even further, so that the turrets crossed inwards and blasted Shiryoku together, hitting her from two directions!

"A solid plan!" Keiko agreed, putting on a burst of speed to approach Shiryoku, while rapidly spinning her shield blades from side to side to knock away bombs.

Shiryoku's eyes narrowed behind her glasses as Keiko approached... she was clearly waiting for the sword blades to either come at her or else, to reform into a single blade that Keiko could use to chop at her. Still, she barely moved, focusing instead on placing more and more orders. "Bomb. Bomb. Bomb. Bomb-!" Keiko had gotten too close! Panicking, Shiryoku put up a frontal barrier, like a green net of light, to stop Keiko from attacking her directly. Instead, the priestess ran on past both her and the barrier. The silver-haired opponent spun and redirected her barrier to stop an attack from behind...

And in that moment, she was riddled with bullets from her own weapons! Seed after seed pelted the unfortunate priestess' body, causing her to be knocked back and forth with an unusual level of animation. You saw with delight that her black armor pieces were falling away quickly... so quickly that the judges had reduced her to T3! You imagined that a lot of very funny orders had been placed as those buttons had been hit. Furthermore, the barrage had been so severe, even that coat Shiryoku was wearing underneath had been shredded... black leather fell all around her, along with LED screens, from the ruined priestess raiment, revealing shockingly pale, white skin. Sparks were shooting up from the wreckage in a way that looked distinctly like a fire hazard... The judges took her down a step further, to T2!

{if Keiko's Tier = 4}Keiko, for her part, was completely unharmed... a testament to both her conditioning and your strategy up to this point! "A magnificent strategy, Katappashikara-dono!" your priestess applauded through telepathy, making you feel proud of yourself as a god, for once in your lazy life.{endif}

{if Keiko's Tier = 3}Although Keiko had taken some hits earlier on, you thought she looked like she was overall in much better shape. The other priestess' garments were ruined, compared to your own priestess' raiment.{endif}

Was it time now to see the real Shiryoku Zai?
