displayName: Boss's House

parameters:
Who the hell are you? Marching into our turf like that?
We're busy here!

parameters:
Karin-san, thanks to you, my illness has been cured. I'm
truly grateful. If you ever have any troubles, don't
hesitate to tell me.

parameters:
The boss has become bedridden, and it's quite serious...
What on earth should we do...

parameters:
Softshell turtles are amazing, huh. It's great that the boss
has gotten his energy back thanks to them. Thanks for your
help.

parameters:
Who the hell are you!? Barging into our gang's territory
like that! Don't you dare speak so casually to the boss of
Toramasa! You're not welcome here! Get outta here!

parameters:
Boss, you seem to be in pretty bad shape. Your complexion is
off, and you've lost weight...

parameters:
Isn't it obvious!? The boss has been bedridden for a long
time!

parameters:
We've had doctors look at him, but they can't figure out the
cause. We're honestly at a loss here. The medicine is just a
placebo at this point... What should we do...

parameters:
This... is a soft-shelled turtle I caught at Ueno Pond. I'd
like to feed it to the boss, if that's okay with you?

parameters:
--What? A soft-shelled turtle? I don't mind, but... Can you
even cook?

parameters:
My dad used to make soft-shelled turtle stew all the time,
so I've seen it done plenty. I should be fine. May I use the
kitchen?

parameters:
--Karin prepared the soft-shelled turtle and started boiling
it in the pot.

parameters:
Alright, it's done! Can I go ahead and feed it to the boss
now?

parameters:
Wait a minute. I can't let you feed the boss something
strange without checking it first. I'll taste it myself
first.

parameters: Ehehe. Then I'll go ahead and feed it to the boss now♪

parameters:
This is a soft-shelled turtle dish I made. It's full of
nutrients, so please try some.

parameters: --Karin fed the soft-shelled turtle stew to the boss.

parameters: ...Oh!? Unbelievable... My body feels...?

parameters: Seriously!? The boss's face is getting some color back--!?

parameters:
This is the nourishing dish my dad always made when someone
was sick. I remember eating it whenever I caught a cold and
it always helped me recover quickly. It's a memorable soft-
shelled turtle stew.

parameters: Boss! Is it really okay for you to get out of bed!?

parameters:
Ah, you all have been through a lot because of me. No need
to worry anymore. I'm fine now--

parameters: Ugh! That's a relief...! The boss's health is recovering...

parameters:
I'm glad your health has improved. Well then, I'll be on my
way--

parameters:
Hey hey, wait a moment. Let me at least thank you. Hey guys,
get some tea ready quickly! This young lady here saved my
life.

parameters:
...Phew. Finished the whole pot. It was seriously delicious.
I feel like I've been brought back to life. What's your
name, young lady?

parameters:
This soft-shelled turtle stew, you said it was a dish filled
with memories of your father. Has he passed away?

parameters:
No, he went missing five years ago... I've been searching
for him ever since...

parameters: That's unfortunate. What's your father's name?

parameters:
Yeah. More than 10 years ago, during a conflict with another
group. He came to help our gang... He was incredibly strong.
In a duel by the riverbank, he took down more than a hundred
men--and what's amazing is he did it without using a sword,
and without injuring any of them, just knocking them out.

parameters: (So that was it... It's the first time I've heard this.)

parameters:
Despite being incredibly strong, he never boasted, was kind
and dashing. Ah, the memories... To think that I'd be saved
by the daughter of that Chuutaro, with a soft-shelled
turtle stew no less, today is indeed an auspicious day.

parameters: Ahaha! I'm happy to hear such a good story too.

parameters:
I want to give you something in return. Is there anything
you want, Karin-san?

parameters:
...Well, you see, sometimes I work as a nightingale...
and... if possible, I'd like you to keep your underlings
quiet at night... I mean, I'd like to be able to move freely
through the streets at night.

parameters:
Huh!? You work as a nightingale too? You look like an
ordinary town girl... That's surprising.

parameters:
That's an easy request. This area is our turf, so I'll make
sure my guys don't bother Karin-san. I'll pass the word
along.

parameters:
Karin-san, we won't interfere with your work again. You're
free to do whatever you need to at night.

parameters:
That alone doesn't satisfy me. This is for the soft-shelled
turtle. It's not much, but please accept it.

parameters:
--Karin received \c[17]5000 mon\c[0] as a token of
gratitude!

parameters:
(Nourishing food... If I remember correctly, my father used
to eat soft-shelled turtles when he wasn't feeling well... I
should go catch some at [Ueno Pond].)

parameters:
Kisanosuke: "What are you still doing wandering around here?
Hurry up and go home."

parameters:
Karin: "This... is a soft-shelled turtle I caught in Ueno
Pond. May I prepare it for the boss to eat?"

parameters:
Kisanosuke: "What? A soft-shelled turtle? I don't mind,
but... can you even cook?"

parameters:
Karin: "I've seen my father make turtle hotpot many times,
so I should be fine. May I use the kitchen?"

parameters:
Karin skillfully butchered the turtle and put it in the pot
to boil.

parameters:
Karin: "Alright, it's done! May I serve it to the boss right
away?"

parameters:
Kisanosuke: "Hold on a second. I can't let the boss eat
something strange without checking it first. I'll taste it
myself."

parameters: Karin: "Ehehe. Then, I'll serve it to the boss now♪"

parameters:
Karin: "It's a soft-shelled turtle dish I made. It's full of
nutrients, so please try some."

parameters: Karin served the soft-shelled turtle hotpot to the boss.

parameters: Boss: "...Ohh? Unbelievable... My body feels...?"

parameters:
Kisanosuke: "Seriously!? The boss's face is full of
life--!?"

parameters:
Karin: "It's a nourishing dish for the sick that my father
always made. I remember eating it when I had a cold and it
helped me recover quickly."

parameters:
Kisanosuke: "Boss! Is it really okay for you to get out of
bed!?"

parameters:
Boss: "Ah. You all have been through a lot of trouble for
me. No need to worry anymore. I'm fine--"

parameters:
Omitsu: "Uuu! I'm so glad...! The boss's condition has
improved..."

parameters:
Karin: "I'm glad your health has improved. Well then, I'll
be taking my leave--"

parameters:
Boss: "Hey, hey, wait a minute. Let me at least thank you.
Hey, you guys. Prepare some tea quickly! This young lady is
the savior of my life."

parameters:
Boss: "...Phew. Finished the whole pot. It was seriously
delicious. This old tiger feels revived. What's your name,
young lady?"

parameters:
Karin: "My name is Karin. I live near the dumpling shop in
the castle town and sometimes help out there."

parameters:
Boss: "This soft-shelled turtle hotpot, you said it's a dish
with memories of your father, but has he passed away?"

parameters:
Karin: "No. The thing is, he went missing five years ago...
I've been searching for him ever since..."

parameters: Boss: "That's unfortunate. What's your father's name?"

parameters: Boss: "What? You're Chuutaro's daughter?!"

parameters: Karin: "--! Eh!? You know my father, boss?"

parameters:
Boss: "Yeah. Over ten years ago, during a conflict with
another group, he came to help us out... He was incredibly
strong. In a duel by the riverbank, he took down over a
hundred men--and what was amazing was that he didn't use a
sword and didn't injure anyone, just knocked them out with
his holds."

parameters:
(So that was his story... I'm hearing this for the first
time.)

parameters:
Despite being incredibly strong, he never boasted, was kind
and had a dashing air about him. Ah, it brings back
memories... To think that I'd be saved by the daughter of
that Chuutaro, and treated to his soft-shelled turtle
hotpot, today is indeed an auspicious day.

parameters: Ahaha! I'm happy to hear such a nice story too.

parameters:
...Well, you see, sometimes I work as a courtesan... so...
if possible, I'd like you to keep your underlings in check
during the night... I mean, I'd like to be able to move
freely through the streets at night.

parameters:
Heh!? You work as a courtesan too? You look like an ordinary
town girl... that's surprising.

parameters:
That's an easy request. This area is our turf, so I'll make
sure my guys don't mess with Karin-san. I'll pass the word
along.

parameters:
Karin-san, we won't interfere with your work again. You're
free to do whatever you want at night.

parameters:
I really owe you one. Even in the safe streets of Edo, it's
become dangerous at night lately... Several night hawks have
been kidnapped, so we can't let our guard down. The culprit
hasn't been caught yet, so be careful, Karin-san.

parameters: Phew... Oh, welcome! Are you staying the night?

parameters:
...No. This inn seems to have fewer guests compared to
others, doesn't it?

parameters:
Ahaha. You're quite direct, aren't you? I like that. I'm
getting on in years, you see. I've been thinking of handing
over this old inn to someone and retiring...

parameters:
That's right. As you can see, I left the roof leaking and
the decay has progressed. I wonder if there's someone who
would buy it? If I could sell it for about 50,000 mon, I
could retire comfortably.

parameters:

Yes. I have the money right here. Please, let me take over

parameters: Thank you so much! I will take good care of it.

parameters: \c[17]――Karin Has Acquired The Shinjuku Inn!\c[0]

parameters:
Well, as it stands, it's honestly too run-down for guests to
want to stay... I need to repair the leaks, replace the
tatami mats, and fix everything that's broken.

parameters:
--Karin brought her carpentry tools and began fixing the
inn!

parameters:
Phew... Well, that should do it. It's not new, but it's much
cleaner now.

parameters:
...Oh my? If you look at the state of it now, it's amazing,
isn't it? Did you fix everything by yourself? It's become
quite splendid compared to before.

parameters:
This is rice and pickles made from vegetables from my field.
If you're going to run an inn, you'll need to prepare dinner
too. There's plenty, so feel free to use it.

parameters: Wow, I'm so happy! I'll use it without hesitation\I[15]

parameters:
(Too bad, I don't have the money right now. Maybe some other
time...)

parameters: I'm sorry. I can't make a decision right this moment...

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting... I will definitely
repay you as soon as I can arrange the money...

parameters:
(This inn... it's so old... It seems they're busy, so I
won't speak to them for now.)

parameters:
Hey, Madam Innkeeper. The bill for the miso from the month
before last still hasn't been paid, you know? There's a
limit to how much I can put on the tab, so please settle it
soon.

Are you serious? Hmm, I went through the trouble of catching
it... but I can't resist a cute girl's request. Alright,
I'll let you have it♪

parameters: --Karin paid 3000 mon and took ownership of the talking fox.

parameters: Come here. From now on, I'm your owner. Give me your paw--

parameters:
Who do you think you are! Don't presume to be my owner
without my consent! And what's this 'give me your paw'
nonsense!? I am not a dog!

parameters: Grrr! The sound of my stomach... how embarrassing...!

parameters:
You must be hungry. I work at a dumpling shop, so I can feed
you plenty?

parameters:
Yes. Oei's dumplings are delicious. You'll definitely be
satisfied... What do you say? Will you come with me?

parameters: Ugh... I suppose I have no choice... I'll follow...

parameters:
Such a hearty appetite... You must have been really hungry,
huh?

parameters:
That sideshow owner barely gave me water to drink. I was so
famished I thought I might die.

parameters:
Hmm, these dumplings and daifuku are indeed delicious.
Eating all this, I feel as if I've been brought back to
life♪

parameters:
The collar that shopkeeper put on me is digging into my
neck. If I tried to escape carelessly, I might break my
neck... Seriously... It's infuriating to be made into a
spectacle like this.

parameters:
How can you talk? Are you some kind of fox spirit or
something?

parameters:
Well, something like that. I owe you one. I will definitely
repay this debt. What is your name?

parameters:
My name is... a secret for now. I'll tell you the next time
we meet. I won't forget the favor you've done for me.
Farewell, Karin--

parameters: It... it's gone... What on earth was that fox...?

parameters:
...Hmm, honestly, it's so shabby that I feel like no
customers will come like this... I want to spruce it up a
bit and add some flair.

parameters:
--Karin brought some carpentry tools and started renovating
the hut!

parameters:
Alright, it's become quite stylish! It doesn't feel like a
sideshow booth anymore. Let's change the name to a small
theater from now on!

parameters:
--The sideshow booth has been renamed to [Karin's Little
Theater]!

parameters: Oh? The sideshow booth has become beautiful, hasn't it?

parameters:
I wonder if they're going to do some new performance?
Exciting♪

parameters:
Oh no!? Customers have already arrived!? I need to think of
a performance quickly...!

characterName: !Chest

parameters: Huh... Are you not doing the sideshow anymore?

parameters:
Yeah, I've decided to go back to the countryside. I'm
planning to quit this job. It would be great if someone
could take over the tent.

parameters:
That's a shame... Take over, you say... How much would that
be?

parameters:
Well, the building itself is old, so I'd like to sell it for
about 15,000 mon.

parameters: Buy the sideshow tent [15000 mon needed]

parameters: 見世物小屋を買い取る【１５０００文必要】

No problem at all. How's your foot? Can you make it home

Yes, the uneven path of the well was tough, but this is flat
ground. I really appreciate it. Here's a token of my

Hmm... So you mean to say you want a one-on-one duel with
Kotaro?

Yes. That man is the strongest enemy we've faced so far. But

Thanks to Kotaro-sama, a splendid mansion has been built.
It's wonderful to have a tiled-roof mansion in the village,

dignity of a leader, which is reassuring.

Ah, Master Chuutaro! Last night's banquet was such fun♪ I'm
a bit hungover, but I'll dutifully perform my gatekeeping
duties. Hic...

The key to fishing is not to panic and to wait patiently.
Understand, Momiji?

parameters:
What's the matter, Aomaru! With such a half-hearted stance,
you won't be able to inflict even a single wound in real
combat. Put your back into it and come at me with all you've

too strong! Ahhhhh-!!

Ufufu... If Kotaro-san desires, I will offer my body to
you at any time\I[15]

I apologize for last night. You drank quite a bit at the
party, didn't you? If you'd like, I can give you some
medicine that's effective for hangovers.

Welcome back, Chuutaro-san. Is it true that the Uwagami army
is advancing towards Kanto? Many of the residents of Fuma
Village are feeling anxious...

The water here is so pure that it feels like the laundry
somehow becomes cleaner.

Kotaro-san, hello♪ Next time, please teach me how to
throw shuriken.

How were things up there? Did you find any fine women in the
capital? Heh heh heh♪

Karin-san, you were at the banquet, but it seems like your
health has improved. It's good to see you smiling more since
Chuutaro-san returned. You seemed quite lonely after all.

parameters:
Hey, Chuutaro-dono. Last night was a lot of fun, drinking
more than we have in a while. Once I've finished taking care
of the sword you entrusted to me, I'll deliver it to your
home.

parameters: They said today's practice is off. How boring.

parameters:
Was there any trouble in the village? These are suspicious
times we're living in.

"Yes. There is no abnormality in the village. Your family,
Korin-dono and Karin-dono, are both well. They have been
eagerly awaiting your return."

parameters:
Indeed. I should hurry and see them both. It's already late
today. Tell Kotaro that I will visit the mansion tomorrow to
discuss the results of the investigation in the capital.

"Understood. The head of the clan has been looking forward
to meeting with you, Chuutaro-dono. He will surely be
delighted by your safe return."

That surprise attack earlier was shocking. You've improved
your skills, Aomaru.

parameters:
Haha! I've been rigorously training with my sword under
Master Aida for these past three months.

parameters:
It must have been a tough journey to Kyoto and Osaka,
faraway lands. I'm glad you've returned safely, Chuutaro-
dono.

parameters:
The sword that Master Aida made for me may be unsigned, but
it's well-crafted. It served me well against bandits on my
journey. I owe him thanks.

parameters:
It's a sword dulled to prevent cutting people, but it might
have suited you well, Chuutaro-dono. With your expertise,
even a picked-up twig could become a formidable weapon.

parameters:
So you no longer wish to cut people down? It's a waste for
such a skilled ninja, seriously.

parameters:
It's a decision I've made myself. I apologize for being
selfish, but please forgive me.

parameters:
Hehe--! Then I'll train even harder and become an even more
skilled ninja than you, Chuutaro-san!

parameters:
Hey now, don't get ahead of yourself, Aomaru. If you want to
beat Chuutaro-dono, first you need to become strong enough
to defeat me. You still have much to learn.

parameters:
Hmph! There's a saying that a man can change enough in three
days to be unrecognizable! I'll surpass you both soon
enough! I'm serious!

parameters:
So, what's the situation in the capital? Is it really going
to lead to war?

parameters:
...I'll discuss that matter at the Fuma clan's residence
later. First, I must report to Kotaro.

parameters:
Indeed. Well, Odawara is a massive and sturdy castle. It
won't fall easily. If they come, we'll just have to meet
them in battle.

parameters: That's right... Then I shall return to my own home.

parameters:
Ah, sorry for keeping you so long. Korin-dono and the baby
must be eagerly waiting for your return. Let's call it a
day.

parameters:
See you again, Chuutaro-san! Next time you have a moment,
please spar with me!

parameters:
--Ah!? Chuutaro-sama! I heard from my brother Aomaru that
you have returned to the Fuma village!\I[15]

parameters: Is that you, Kikyo? Good to see you're well.

parameters:
Please! Since you left the village, I've been so worried...!
Hold me like you used to!\I[15]

parameters:
Hey now! I've never even held your hand before! Don't shout
things that could cause misunderstandings!

parameters:
But... when I think of you, Chuutaro-sama, I can't sleep at
night and end up masturbating in my bed\I[15] I've adored
you since we were children, and it's so frustrating that
Korin-san took you away from me... *sniffle*.

parameters:
Please forgive me. You are beautiful and will surely meet a
better man than myself in the future.

parameters:
Ah...♪ You're always so kind, Chuutaro-sama\I[15] Korin-
san and Karin-chan are waiting for you, so please go see
them soon\I[15]

parameters:
Indeed. Your brother Aomaru has grown remarkably as well.
The future of the Fuma village rests on you--

parameters:
I'm home now. Sorry for being away for three months,
Korin.

parameters:
No, it was an important mission. I'm just glad you're back
safe and sound.

parameters:
Ah, Karin--Father has returned♪ You've grown bigger than
before I left for three months.

parameters:
Fufu. This child keeps sucking on my breasts so many times a
day; maybe that's why she's growing so fast.

parameters:
(Even so, she resembles Korin quite a bit. It seems the
bloodline of shrine maidens is strong indeed.)

parameters:
You've had a long journey; truly hard work. Now then, let me
prepare dinner. Would you like some sake?

parameters: Ah yes. My body is chilled; I would like some warm sake.

parameters: The boss is waiting for you at the Fuma mansion.

parameters: Ah, Chuutaro-dono--welcome back to the village of Fuma.

parameters:
Houchiku-ji, you seem well, which is good to see. I returned
yesterday but was too tired to report in. My apologies.

parameters:
Not at all. After three months of espionage missions in
Kyoto and Osaka, it's only natural to be tired.

parameters:
Hmm. They've replaced all the roofs of the Fuma mansion with
tiles, I see.

parameters:
Yes, while you were away, Kotaro-sama instructed us to do
so. It's become quite a sight compared to before, hasn't it?

parameters:
How were things in the capital? We haven't received much
information here, so everyone in the Fuma village is
concerned.

parameters: Ah... Just between us, it will likely lead to war.

parameters:
Ho. The army from the capital coming all the way to
Kanto...? That doesn't bode well...

parameters:
I want to report the details to Kotaro. Can you let me
through to the mansion, Houchiku-ji?

parameters: Yes. The lord is in the back of the mansion. Come this way--

parameters: --!? What is the meaning of surrounding my residence?

parameters:
We have been ordered by our lord to urgently request your
presence at the Fuma residence. We will accompany you, so
please.

parameters:
I'm asking about the reason for this heavy security... Can't
you even tell me that?

parameters: Kotaro-sama...! What has happened to you?

parameters:
Lady, please keep your voice down and stay calm. Now,
Chuutaro-dono, we ask you to accompany us.

parameters:
...Understood. I will come at once. However, I have left my
sword with Mamoru-dono. May I retrieve it before heading to
the mansion?

parameters:
...(What does this mean? This is as if I'm being treated
like a criminal.)

parameters:
...Do not worry, Korin. I will return soon. I apologize
for leaving you alone again, but I entrust you with Karin--

parameters:
I have arrived at the mansion, Kotaro. You said there was
something you wanted to discuss with me.

parameters:
You have surrounded my house with your men; this is hardly a
calm situation. What is the meaning of this? I demand an
explanation.

parameters:
...Before dawn, a fast horse came from Odawara. Two letters
arrived. Both contained bad news.

parameters: What, letters...? What is their content?

parameters:
The first letter is from the retainer of our great lord. It
seems that two nights ago, our great lord passed away.

parameters: What--!? The great lord has... died...!?

parameters:
Yes. With the passing of the peace-favoring great lord, the
war faction has become dominant, and it seems unavoidable
that we will go to war with the forces from the capital.

parameters:
The second letter is from the elder of Odawara. It contained
two messages. The first is a demand for a hostage to be sent
to the main castle as proof of loyalty.

parameters:
A hostage...? We have never been asked for such a thing
before? Does this mean they doubt us, the Fuma who have
served Odawara's prosperity for five generations?

parameters:
Taking hostages is apparently for conducting a siege battle
at Odawara Castle. They have brought battles with formidable
enemies to a draw by doing so in the past. It seems they
intend to follow previous battles' example.

parameters:
...It's reckless. The enemy this time numbers over 200,000.
They are on a completely different scale and have a
different army size than any daimyo we've faced before. They
plan to attack from Suruga, Kai-Shinano, and even Echigo.
The opponent has subdued up to Kyushu; they are the ruler of
the land, aren't they?!?

parameters:
That information is unknown to many. They will only find out
when the forces from the capital attack.

parameters:
And the second message. The brother who brought this
information about the forces from the capital... You are to
be detained and confined, as per their demand.

parameters:
Detained...? Why? What have I done? What crime am I accused
of?

parameters:
The crime of being misled by false information and causing
confusion--so it says...

parameters:
Absurd! For three months, without taking a single day off, I
gathered intelligence and thoroughly investigated before
writing my report. There has never been a mistake in any of
the intelligence I've reported until now!

parameters:
Those who accurately know the military information of the
capital are a nuisance. Anyone would be intimidated upon
hearing that the enemy has an army of 200,000, and it would
lower morale. It would also make it difficult to take
hostages from the lords and magnates of Kanto. They want to
keep the enemy's scale unknown and sealed away--that's what
this is about.

parameters:
...! I cannot accept being punished for providing accurate
information! I will go to Odawara and argue my case!

parameters:
I cannot allow that. Having received this letter, as the
head of the Fuma clan, I cannot let you act freely, brother.
Everyone, surround him--!

parameters:
...You're going to capture me... your own brother? Is this
your decision, Kotaro?

parameters:
Kotaro! Don't look away! Do you really intend to detain and
confine me?

parameters:
...I'm sorry, brother! As the head of the Fuma clan, I ask
you to honor me by quietly being locked up in the cell.
Please... I beg you...!

parameters:
...Understood. I will honor you as the clan head. I will not
resist. Take me to the cell.

parameters: I will escort you to the cell, Chuutaro-dono--

parameters: (...I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, brother...)

parameters:
I'm sorry... I only just heard from Houzuki-san myself...
There were three guards in front of the cell, so it seems to
be true.

parameters:
...How can this be. Kotaro-dono was supposed to be on such
good terms with him. They are real brothers... why...!?

parameters:
--! I still can't accept this. I'm going to question father.
What crime they've accused Uncle Chuutaro of putting him in a
cell... The others won't be satisfied either...

parameters:
Momiji-chan, you shouldn't come here anymore. You're being
watched... (whispering)

parameters:
Yes. It seems I'm also a subject of surveillance. So you
shouldn't come here anymore...

parameters: ...Understood. I apologize. Excuse me...

parameters:
There there, don't cry Karin... Your father will definitely
come back...


displayName: Fuma's Mansion - Enemy Leader's Chamber

parameters:
--Stamina and skill power have been \c[24]fully
restored\c[0]!

parameters:
--! It's okay, Momiji-san!? Sorry I'm late! Are you
injured...!?

parameters: I'm fine... Most of my wounds have already closed up.

parameters: That's good. It seems there's no danger to your life.

parameters:
I've kept you waiting, Koutarou... On my way here, I learned
about various things that happened in the past in this Fuma
village.

parameters:
Ho... That's a different tone than before. Your mother,
Korin-dono, had mysterious powers as a Miko,
indeed. So it seems that power has certainly been passed
down to you, her daughter.

parameters:
Yes... With that mysterious power, I was able to understand
the past. Momiji-san, thank you for taking care of me so
much when I was a baby. I found out why my father, mother,
and I were able to live so long. We had turned into stone.

parameters:
Yes. My mother used a spell to turn the three of us to
stone. It seems we spent over a hundred years in the pond.
Honestly, I was surprised too...

parameters:
...When Chuutaro escaped from prison and we caught up to
him, we saw the three of you jump into the pond but never
resurface. We thought you had died, but no one there could
have imagined that you had turned to stone and survived.

parameters:
To turn living humans into stone... I can't believe Korin-
san could do such a thing...

parameters:
I once heard from Gyouon. Among the demon-slaying shrine
maidens, there were those who possessed techniques beyond
human knowledge, including those who could petrify demons
and seal them away--I see, so Korin-dono was a descendant
of those shrine maidens.

parameters:
...It seems so. But my mother died using the petrification
technique... She sacrificed her own life to save me and my
father...

parameters:
If what you say about seeing Fuma village's past is true,
then all the more reason you cannot forgive me? Indirectly,
I have killed your mother... Is that not so, Karin--?

parameters:
Being forced to imprison my father against my will and
getting caught up in the war and reluctantly eating demon
flesh to become a demon... I sympathize with what happened
in Fuma village in the past... but...

parameters:
That doesn't mean I can allow evil deeds. As a surviving
member of the Fuma clan, I must defeat you who have fallen
both body and soul to demonhood, in place of my father,
Chuutaro--!

parameters:
Hmph. You're a daughter with a strong sense of justice, just
like Chuutaro. Did you come here alone because you wanted a
one-on-one fight? Good spirit. No tricks then. Let's fight
head-on.

parameters:
Momiji-san, you don't need to help. It must be hard for you
to fight against your own father, right? I will defeat
Koutarou here, the last head of Fuma.

parameters:
Very well. There are only three of us Fuma left now. Let
these fists explain which of us is right. Come on! Prepare
yourself, Chuutaro's daughter, Karin--!

parameters: Fine by me! I'll show you my true strength!

parameters: --Fuma Demon Koutarou has initiated the battle!

parameters: Guhh!? No, not yet... I can still fight!

parameters:
--Fuma Demon Koutarou has coughed up blood and fallen to the
ground!

parameters:
To defeat Father alone like that... amazing... Karin-chan,
are you injured...!?

parameters:
Hah... hah... I'm okay. It seems the fight with Koutarou has
finally been settled.

parameters: Guhhh--! No, not yet...! It's not over yet...!

parameters:
In the world of ninja, a conclusion means taking the life
of your opponent. As long as my heart is beating, the match
isn't over yet, Karin!

parameters:
Fuu, haa...! What's wrong? Hurry up and finish me. Are you
saying you want to shame me, the last head of the Fuma clan,
by letting me live in disgrace? If you let time pass, my
wounds will fully heal.

parameters:
...You are my uncle, my father's brother, and Momiji-san's
father. You are undoubtedly one of my blood relatives. The
fight is already over. This is my conclusion--

parameters:
--Gahhahhah! How soft! Such mercy and pity towards an enemy
would not have allowed one to survive in the Warring States
period, it's a contemptible way of thinking!

parameters:
That may be true. But this is not the age of bloodshed and
war anymore.

parameters:
All these graves in the village, you built them, didn't you?
To mourn and pray for the souls of the villagers who died in
the wars...

parameters:
The peaceful world that those men and women who died wished
for. A world where weapons are put away for a hundred years
--and even further, an era where all living creatures are
treated with compassion.

parameters:
Hmph... So the Fuma village has been destroyed for 123 years
--I've lived too long, to the point where there's no place
for us anymore... is that it?

parameters:
Momiji. You must survive along with Karin. If there is no
gravekeeper, the tombstones of those from Fuma here will
fall into ruin...

parameters:
The Fuma bloodline must not be extinguished... My daughter,
Momiji--my niece, Karin--do not forget the pride of our
clan...

parameters:
...It's the last trap I prepared. Now both of you, hurry
outside. If you stay here, you'll be crushed under the heavy
tiled roof.

parameters:
...Momiji... I'm sorry for everything up until now...
Forgive your foolish father who continued to choose the
wrong path.

parameters:
Both of you survive! This is my last technique--! Retsuha
Senpuuzan--!!

parameters: --Karin and Momiji were blown outside of the mansion!

parameters:
Henceforth, we declare Kotaro-dono as our new leader of the
Fuma clan--!

parameters:
Haha-! The people of Fuma village will work diligently for
our lord Kotaro-sama!

parameters:
Now then, Kotaro-sama. Please accept the Fuma clan's
guardian sword, the symbol of our headship.

parameters: Really... Am I truly fit to be the new head?

parameters:
We have discussed this many times and decided. There are no
objections. Kotaro-dono is indeed worthy to lead the Fuma.

parameters:
To think that Kotaro, whom I've guided since he was young,
would become our new leader, it moves me deeply... Hohoho!

parameters:
...Tch! I think Kotaro-san would be more suitable as the
leader though...

parameters:
Hey! You shouldn't speak like that, Aomaru! My apologies,
Kotaro-sama!

parameters:
Wouldn't Fuma develop further if a well-known elder brother
took over?

parameters:
I've become too famous. If I were to succeed the Fuma, it
would anger both Kai and Echigo, becoming a source of
disaster. I can trust you to lead.

parameters: Guide the reborn Fuma, Kotaro--no, our lord--

parameters:
Indeed! I, Kotaro, will take on all responsibilities and
succeed the name of the Fuma clan head! Please, everyone,
follow me! I'm counting on you!

parameters:
Heh... I've even lost the guardian sword of Fuma, the symbol
of the headship. The end of a long dream... this memorable
Fuma mansion... huh...

parameters:
...I'm sorry, Momiji-san. It's because I defeated Uncle
Kotaro...

parameters:
No. I'm sure father accepted his end and activated the trap
himself.

parameters:
Ever since becoming a demon, he must have been seeking his
own place of death...

parameters: I was worried because you were late, so I came to meet you!

parameters:
Oh! You're alive, Momiji! Even with a demon's regenerative
abilities, I was worried!

parameters: I'm sorry, Master. My injuries have already fully healed.

parameters: What about him? What happened to Kotaro?

parameters: After saving us, he was buried under this mansion.

parameters:
...Yes. Perhaps father thought that the village where he was
born and raised was fitting to be his final resting place.

parameters:
Hmm... The Fuma mansion as Kotaro's gravestone... How
sorrowful...

parameters: Sad, tragic--that Kotaro-san would die--

parameters: I am Shikigumo--a direct subordinate of Lord Gyōon.

parameters:
That form, are you some kind of shikigami!? What business do
you have showing up here alone!

parameters:
Well done on subduing Fuma--while you were busy, we've taken
Edo--I was told to convey that message.

parameters: --Look to the eastern sky! Fire and smoke...!

parameters: particle play aura_static_b this def below

parameters:
...What's with that outfit? Are you some kind of ninja or
something?

parameters:
It's nothing! I just dressed up for an adventure because
it's night! I'll go home right away! Ahah, Ahahahaha...!

parameters:
...What are you doing? Nighttime outings for criminals are
forbidden. Are you perhaps planning to escape the island?

parameters:
I'm... I'm sorry! I just couldn't sleep and was taking a
walk! I'll go home right away! Ahah, Ahaha...!


displayName: Chuutaro's Home

parameters:
Are you going out? Take care, dear. Please give my regards
to Kotaro-dono.

parameters:
Last night was fun, wasn't it? It seems Karin was also
satisfied.

parameters: Good morning, Korin. About... last night, I'm sorry...

parameters:
No... You've been busy these past three months, so why not
take a break for a while?

parameters:
That's true. How about we go to a hidden hot spring nearby
with the family before it gets fully into winter? Karin
would be delighted, I'm sure.

parameters:
Yes, let's do that. I will ask Koutarou-dono for permission
to leave the village.

parameters:
It's another beautiful day today. Let's go to the hot
springs before it gets cold.

parameters: This treasured sword—it still glows as always.

parameters:
At night, when drawn, it serves as a light source. Quite
convenient and saves on oil too.

parameters:
Originally, it was the sword that Karin brought with her
when she fled... It seems true that it's a treasured sword
passed down through generations. The blade glows a pale
blue, truly an eerie sword.

parameters:
The demon-slaying divine weapon—it was once called that, but
now even its true name has been lost. It's a precious sword
never to leave the family, so my grandmother said she
inherited it but never actually used it.

parameters:
There's no way to test it since demons don't actually exist.
However, I feel something unfathomable with this sword. I
must cherish it and continue to pass it down in honor of
Karin's ancestors—

parameters: --The treasured sword is glowing pale blue...

parameters:
Karin-chan really loves playing the pellet drum. She gets so
happy. Fufu♪

parameters:
Good morning, Kotaro-sama. You seemed to be quite
exhausted.

parameters:
Indeed... I didn't overexert myself, but it seems my body
was tired from the long journey. I slept soundly, feeling
safe at home.

parameters:
It's been a while, Uncle Kotaro. You must be tired from
your espionage mission.

parameters:
Oh, Momiji? It's been three months, hasn't it? I'm glad to
see you after such a long time.

parameters:
You came to take care of Karin again today. It's truly a
blessing to have someone help with child-rearing.

parameters:
When I was a child, you always took care of me, so this is
my way of returning the favor. Plus, Karin-chan has grown
quite fond of me... right, Karin-chan?

parameters:
I've heard that you took good care of Karin while I was
away. I am grateful to you, Momiji.

parameters:
No... And so, my father Kotaro would like to hear about the
situation in the capital and has asked for you to come to
the mansion.

parameters:
Ah, I shall visit the Fuma mansion shortly. There are indeed
many things I need to report to the leader.


displayName: Mansion of the Fuma

parameters: ----[Fuma Clan Mansion. Lord's Chamber]----

parameters: Oh, elder brother! You've returned safely!

parameters:
Lord Fuma, you seem to be in good health, which is a relief.
I returned yesterday.

parameters:
Ha ha! No need to be so formal. I've sent everyone away. You
can speak as you usually do, elder brother.

parameters:
This mission was indeed exhausting. I'm not as young as I
used to be. This morning, I even overslept.

parameters:
You've worked hard. What's the situation in the capital? Are
they really planning to advance to Kanto?

parameters:
Indeed. The number of soldiers, guns, and warships was
extraordinary. It's likely that by the end of the year, they
will mobilize the entire army and march to Odawara.

parameters: How many troops does the enemy have? About 50,000?

parameters:
----!! 200,000 troops...!? Can the capital's army really
organize such a massive force?

parameters:
If the armies from Oshu join them, the total force could
reach 250,000. I've already reported this to Odawara before
returning to the village. Osaka Castle has ample provisions,
and the rice stores are well stocked. They'll have no
problem leading a large army to Kanto.

parameters: ...! Over 200,000... It's hard to believe...

parameters:
...Hey, Kotaro. There's something I can only discuss with
you, my true brother. Will you listen?

parameters: ...? Something you can only discuss with me...?

parameters:
This is just between us, but should we not join the
capital's army? I am convinced that is how our Fuma clan
will survive.

parameters: --!? Join the capital? Betray Odawara--?

parameters:
Yes. If things continue as they are, they will seriously
attack us. Any lord who does not submit will be made an
example of for all the daimyo across the country. There will
be no compromise.

parameters:
And depending on the outcome of this great war, our Fuma
clan could be swept away by the tides of history.

parameters:
I swear to the gods above and below that I am not lying. We
haven't been fed false information by the enemy. The
opponent is an extraordinary daimyo who nearly has the whole
country in his grasp. I want to avoid the destruction of our
village. Understand me, Kotaro--

parameters:
...Rebellion is impossible. We participated in the recent
battle in Kozuke that violated the peace edict. How could we
possibly turn traitor now? The capital would never allow it.

parameters:
We Fuma have served the Odawara side for five generations.
We've received ample rewards and gold from them. That's why
we were able to change from thatched to tiled roofing on the
mansion while elder brother was spying in the capital.

parameters:
...Foolish. Tiled roofs are nothing unusual in Kyoto or
Osaka. Temples, shrines, and castles there naturally have
them. Even merchants and common houses are tiled.

parameters:
~~~~~! Are you insulting me?! Even if you are my true
brother, I will not tolerate such disrespect as the head of
the Fuma!

parameters:
"A year in the countryside is like an afternoon nap in
Kyoto." Anyway, they are overwhelmingly superior to us in
every way. It pains me to admit it...

parameters:
Excuse me for interrupting your conversation. We were
thinking of holding a celebration tonight for Uncle
Chuutaro's safe return. Is that alright?

parameters:
Momiji! We're having an important discussion here! Don't
just open the sliding doors without being called!

parameters:
Sorry! It wasn't Momiji's idea; it was mine! Please forgive
us, boss--!

parameters:
...Understood. Anyway, you've done well on your mission.
Let's hold a banquet tonight to celebrate Chuutaro's return.
Inform everyone in the Fuma village, Aomaru.

parameters:
Heheh! Thanks a lot! I'll let everyone know! We'll prepare
loads of food!

parameters: I apologize for interrupting your important conversation...

parameters:
Tch! The boss didn't have to get so angry. Don't you think
so, Momiji?

parameters:
(...? Father and Chuutaro-san both had grim expressions. I
wonder if something happened...)

parameters: ...It seems you are deep in thought, my lord--

parameters:
Houzukijii... You were secretly listening to our
conversation from behind the scenes, weren't you?

parameters: I apologize. It's just a habit of a ninja...

parameters:
What do you honestly think... about the proposal from my
brother to align with the upper ranks?

parameters:
Ho ho ho. It's impossible for an old man like me to judge.
Isn't it a gamble either way?

parameters:
To seek profit by defecting to the upper ranks and
preserving the Fuma village, or to honor our debts and
continue assisting the Odawara side as we have always
done... I leave all decisions to you, Lord Kotaro, the head
of the Fuma clan. We, your party, will simply become blades
to cut down our enemies if you so command--

parameters:
(He seems to be sleeping peacefully. I wonder what kind of
dreams he's having.)

parameters: Welcome back. How was your meeting with Lord Kotaro?

parameters: ...Did something happen? You look troubled...

parameters:
Ah. Perhaps I spoke too harshly. But... the future of Fuma
is at stake. I had to speak my mind no matter what.

parameters:
While you were away, rumors reached the village as well.
People are saying that it might truly lead to war... Is the
upper ranks' army really that strong and numerous?

parameters:
Hmm. If we make the wrong decision, this village might
eventually be engulfed in flames. It's a troubling situation
indeed...

parameters:
...I see... I just hope that children like Karin, who know
nothing of this, will be spared from any disaster...

parameters:
Oh, have you woken up? When the day turns to dusk, Kotaro is
going to host a banquet. Would you like to come with Karin?

parameters:
I understand. I've been feeling well lately, so I will bring
Karin along.

parameters:
--Has everyone gathered? Then let us commence tonight's
feast to celebrate Chuutaro's safe return from his long
espionage mission. It's an open house tonight. Have fun
everyone.

parameters:
You've worked hard on your mission, Lord Chuutaro. Come,
let's drink.

parameters:
This village is lively and nice. It's been five years since
I came to the Fuma village, and I'm very grateful that they
accepted a ronin like me whose lord's house had fallen.

parameters:
Aibara-dono is from Echizen, if I recall correctly. Not just
anyone is accepted into the Fuma. It's because you are a
master of martial arts and also an expert blacksmith.

parameters:
Heh, it may sound self-serving, but skills do save one's
life. For someone like me who became a ronin and wandered
after my lord's house fell, this Fuma village has been my
savior. If there's a battle, I'll be the first to spearhead
the charge.

parameters: ...Well, I do hope that no major battles occur.

parameters:
By the way, Aibara-dono, could you show me the sword you
carry? I've been curious about it ever since I heard rumors
that it was made over 600 years ago...

parameters:
I'm sorry, Aibara-san... That sword is not to be shown
lightly as it's strictly forbidden to be taken outside the
gate, and my grandmother has strictly told me not to show it
to others...

parameters:
Hmm, is that so... No, I wanted to see this divine-named
treasure sword to improve my blacksmithing skills... But if
it's forbidden, then there's nothing to be done. I apologize
for asking too much.

parameters:
Oh, that reminds me. The sword you made for me on my long
journey has become loose at the hilt and guard. Could you
fix it?

parameters:
Hmm. Then I shall take it with me. I'll repair it and bring
it back after tomorrow.

parameters:
Come now, Chuutaro-sama\I[15], don't just talk with Aibara-
dono, please enjoy my sake as well♪

parameters:
Yes, my apologies, Iekiku-- but if you pour so much sake
into every cup, it will be troublesome, won't it?

parameters:
Ufufufu\I[15], Chuutaro-sama can handle his liquor, can't he?
Come now, don't be shy and please drink up\I[15]

parameters:
----!? (This sake... upon closer inspection, it has a
strange color...)

parameters:
Whoa there, Chuutaro-san. You better not drink that sake. Sis
has mixed in some love potion and aphrodisiacs into that
dangerous drink. Who knows what will happen if you drink it♪

parameters: Hey! Aomaru! Don't say unnecessary things--!

parameters: ...May I dispose of this sake in the garden?

parameters:
I've tested it many times to perfect it! I made it with
great care! Even just one sip would be fine, please drink
it!

parameters:
...Excuse me, Iekiku-san, could you please not give my
husband such suspicious drinks?

parameters:
Ugege--!? Ko-, Korin-san!? Even your daughter Karin-chan--?
Well, this is rare? It's unusual for you to show up at a
banquet? Ahahaha!

parameters:
Karin has become more settled now. If she cries, I'll take
her outside... We won't disturb the banquet.

parameters:
Is that so? Then Chuutaro-san, please try my special sake
another time? Ufufu--\I[15]

parameters:
Hm...? What's with that look? As a ninja, there's no way I
would drink such suspicious sake.

parameters:
Hey!-- Aomaru! If you hadn't said anything, Chuutaro-sama
would have been mine! (Gripping tightly!)

parameters:
Ouch ouch ouch! Sis, give it a rest already! Chuutaro-san and
Korin-san have been married for years now! They even have a
baby!

parameters: ...Huh? That's unusual. You brought Karin-chan along too.

parameters:
Yes. It's important to get her used to being around lots of
people so she doesn't become shy.

parameters:
Ah, but she looks very sleepy. It can't be helped. Babies
need their sleep after all.

parameters:
The party is in full swing, but it can't be helped. If we
let her sleep here, she might catch a cold. It might be time
to head back.

parameters: What's this, brother? Are you leaving already?

parameters: I'm sorry. It seems Karin is already sleepy.

parameters:
Karin, who carries the blood of my brother and Lady Korin,
has a promising future. She's over 10 years younger than
Momiji, but as cousins, I hope they get along well and build
a bright future for the Fuma clan.

parameters: Indeed... As a parent, all I can wish for is her happiness.

parameters:
While Chuutaro-san was away, Kotaro-san provided us with a
lot of support. We even received many radishes.

parameters: Is that so? I apologize for the trouble, Kotaro.

parameters:
It's only natural. This mission was of great importance. I
sent my most skilled ninja, my brother, to the capital on my
orders. Momiji has also done well in reducing the burden of
child-rearing on Lady Korin during these three months.

parameters: Hehe... I'm glad to hear you say that, Father.

parameters:
Brother, before you leave, let's have a toast--wishing for
the continued prosperity of our Fuma village.

parameters:
Ah, I am grateful, Lord--here's to the success and
prosperity of our Fuma party--

parameters:
Nothing particularly changed over the course of three
months. If I had to say, it would be that the prices of
weapons and armor have risen in Odawara.

parameters:
I heard you returned yesterday. It must have been tough
being on an intelligence mission for three months.

parameters:
Oh, Chuutaro-dono! Welcome back. The boss has been waiting
for you.

parameters:
I heard you returned home yesterday. I'm glad to hear you're
safe and sound.

parameters:
Um... since yesterday, the master's behavior has been
unusual... I wonder if something happened?

parameters:
This is for you, Chuutaro-dono. The lord is waiting at the
[Demon Shrine]. He wishes to speak with you alone, so please
come quickly.

parameters: ...He wants me to come to the Demon Shrine? Understood.

parameters:
This is a message for Chuutaro-dono. The lord is waiting for
you at the [Oni Shrine]. He wishes to speak with you alone,
so please come quickly.


displayName: Mujou Island - Exile District

parameters:
[Sign] Please submit all caught fish to the mansion! Head of
the Exiled Criminals

parameters:
Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting! There really are no
guards at night, huh?

parameters:
Indeed. It's lax security, isn't it? Let's escape from the
island now, all four of us. However, be careful as there are
wild and ferocious animals and plants in Tohru Pass.

parameters:
What!? There are dangerous creatures in Tohru Pass? I didn't
hear about that! You should have told me sooner?

parameters:
What should we do... I wonder if we can make it to the
northern tip where the ship is...

parameters: Don't worry. I'll defeat them and clear the way!

parameters: --Karin transformed into the appearance of Mouse Komachi!

parameters:
Whoa!? What's with that outfit? Karin-san, were you a
kunoichi all along?

parameters: It looks really cool. Such a brave ninja attire.

parameters: That... In Edo, I was a thief known as Mouse Komachi...

parameters:
Huh. Mouse... Komachi...? I had no idea. So you were caught
for theft and exiled to this desolate island?

parameters:
I heard you stole more than a thousand ryō. It's true then.
It's fun to see this unexpected side of you, Karin-san.

parameters:
(I see. Kisanosuke-san was exiled here a year ago... and
Kachou-san two years ago, so they don't know anything about
Mouse Komachi... Sadness...)

parameters:
--! Yes, that's right! Surprised, aren't you!? The great
thief who caused a stir in Edo! I am the infamous Mouse
Komachi!

parameters:
Nuuu!? To think that Karin was the great thief Mouse
Komachi... No wonder I couldn't keep up with your agility.

parameters: Yes, yes... yes, yes... (Tears welling up...)

parameters:
No... it's just that someone knows about Mouse Komachi and
it makes me happy... that's all...

parameters:
If Mouse Komachi, who wreaked havoc in Edo, is on our side,
that's reassuring. Let's head north through Tohru Pass in
one go. If we don't hurry, they'll notice we're gone by
sunrise.

parameters: Yes. Let's go--let's all escape from this island together.

parameters: --Karin and the others headed towards Tohru Pass!

parameters: What should I do... Maybe I should retreat for now...

parameters:
Retreat
Do not retreat

parameters:
Can't be helped. Let's retreat for now and come back
prepared.

parameters:
--Karin decided to cancel her escape from the island tonight
and sleep at home instead.

parameters: What's the matter? Are you calling it off for tonight?

parameters: I-I'm sorry. I'll prepare and try again another time...

parameters:
--Karin decided to call off the escape from the island for
tonight and went to sleep at home.


parameters:
Phew... Looks like I'm breaking even today. Just enough to
win a cup of sake. That's what being stylish is all about.

parameters:
Dice-chan, Dice-chan... please give me the result I wish
for...

parameters:
Hey hey, sis, do you have the money? If not, you'll have to
pay with your body.

parameters:
It's simple, but everyone gets hooked on the toss-of-a-coin
gamble. You really love gambling, huh?

parameters:
...What? What happened to the kimono? Oh, that? I've already
pawned it. Don't worry. Today, I'll win and get it back for
sure.

parameters:
Ugh... I've taken an advance on the money. I'm definitely
going to win today--! (shivering...)

These creatures are Demon-faced Trees. Normally, they don't
attack people, but it seems they've become violent due to
the evil aura of the Senbi.

calm down.

parameters:
These are the graves of the courtesans who worked in the
pleasure district. I carried them here... and buried them...

parameters:
Is that so? I heard that many courtesans end up without even
a grave when they pass away... It's good to know there's a
proper burial place.

parameters:
Before I lived in the pleasure district, the deceased
courtesans were just wrapped in straw mats and sent to the
temple. I made these graves here as a way to offer prayers
for them.

parameters:
How sad... To think that behind the glittering pleasure
district lies such a desolate graveyard...

parameters:
(Somehow... Momiji-san's expression has become very dark...
Maybe I shouldn't have asked about the graves...)

parameters:
From here on lies the ruins of an old pleasure district
building. That should be Aomaru's dwelling. Let's hurry,
Karin-chan.

--Karin and Momiji offered a prayer to the graves and moved
on.

Hey, stop right there! Did you think you could escape that

(Now's my chance to escape. First, I need to retrieve my
equipment.)

parameters: --Karin hurriedly dressed in her kimono!

parameters:
This little wench! To think she'd escape from the cell, the
nerve!

parameters:
We'll tie you up so you can never escape again and hang you
on the wall!

parameters:
Heh, your threats don't faze me. After all, you guys are
already checkmated--

parameters: Aaargh~~~! How did she get behind us...!?

parameters: Well done, Karin--you made a perfect decoy.

parameters: Thanks for the backup, Yugiri-chan. I owe you one.

parameters:
Because you escaped and drew the bandits to you, we were
able to rescue the village girls from the cell without
issue.

parameters: Haah... haah...! Thank you for coming to save us...

parameters:
You're all safe, that's what matters. Now let's escape from
this bandit fortress as quickly as possible--

parameters: Thump--thump--(!! This oppressive aura...! Could it be...?)

parameters: ...Are you the ones? The intruders who stormed my castle?

parameters: --! The demon from the haunted mansion in Yotsuya--!?

parameters:
You fiend! Kidnapping innocent village girls! We're taking
them back!

parameters:
Oh, you're the ones from Yotsuya? You came to take back the
girls used for entertainment, just the two of you? Quite
brave for women. I respect that.

parameters: Magara-sama! P-please help us! These guys are too strong...!

parameters:
Hmph... You fools have been playing too much. Not even
guarding the fortress properly because you were busy with
women—asking for help is laughable--

parameters:
~~~! (He's been split in half...! What a terrifying sword
strike!)

parameters:
In the face of overwhelming odds, you've shown great
courage. In light of your bravery, I'll let you go this
time. It must be troublesome to fight while protecting the
village girls, isn't it?

parameters:
Indeed—if you wish to fight me, come back to this bandit
fortress. I'll be waiting in the deepest part. We can settle
things then. Is that acceptable?

parameters: ...Understood. Then we shall take our leave for now.

parameters: This way leads to an outside passage! Everyone, hurry!

parameters:
--Karin and Yugiri have escaped outside with the village
girls!

parameters:
...Is it alright, Lord Magara, to let those intruders
escape? Won't they just run away?

parameters:
Both of them will surely come back to the bandit fortress.
They had that look in their eyes. Next time we meet, they
shall become the rust on my beloved sword. It's been a while
since I've met a worthy opponent I can fight with all my
might, I'm truly blissful--

parameters:
(However, that girl with the black hair... from a distant
past... it feels like I've seen her somewhere before... or
is it just my imagination...)

parameters:
We should be safe now that we've come this far. It's good
that we managed to escape without encountering any pursuers.

parameters:
Thank you so much, both of you. I don't know how to express
our gratitude for risking your lives to come save us inside
the bandit fortress...

parameters:
No need for thanks. This village of Suranamu isn't very safe
either, so hurry back to your own villages without delay.

parameters:
...I'm sorry for the late rescue. Forget about this fortress
and live peacefully in your respective villages.

parameters:
Yes... Yes! We'll take our leave then. Thank you very much
for saving us.

parameters:
--The village girls bowed deeply to Karin and Yugiri before
hurrying away from the village of Suranamu.

parameters: So this completes our very first mission, doesn't it?

parameters:
Yeah. It would have been troublesome if the girls had been
taken hostage. Even if the bandits are numerous, now we can
confront them head-on and eradicate them together, Karin.

parameters:
That armored man called Magara... he's definitely a demon,
isn't he?

parameters:
Hmm. He said he was in the depths of the bandit fortress.
What do you think, Karin? Can we defeat that monster?

parameters:
We won't know until we try. But unless we defeat him, peace
won't return to this village of Suranamu. Let's fight with
all our might together.

parameters:
Right. I'll take a little rest here. When we attack the
bandit fortress, let's meet at the [Entrance Gate] in front
of the fortress.

parameters:
"Aaahn! Don't cum inside anymore...!" [Bandit] "Uuuh...! I'm
gonna cum! Take it in your womb!"

parameters:
The volcanic ash is terrible because of the eruption of
Mount Fuji five years ago. It's better not to go any further
unless you need to.

parameters:
(Hmm... The ground is awful with ash... Let's not proceed
west from here for now.)

parameters:
Wow~~! So tiny and cute♪ Is this a baby snow monkey? It's
dangerous here, so let's protect it and take it to Ueno!

parameters: --\c[17]Captured the 【Snow Monkey】!\c[0]

parameters:
Due to the eruption of Mount Fuji five years ago, Odawara
was unluckily buried in ash... But we will rebuild from
here. By the hands of us, the people of Odawara.

parameters:
An army of demons came from Mount Fuji and passed through
this Odawara. Goodness, I thought I had lived a long life,
but it was the first time I saw a demon and my knees
buckled...

parameters:
*cough*, *cough*-- Grandpa, I'll go throw the collected
ashes into the river.

parameters:
Ogres! A tremendous number of ogres went towards the east!
Bieee! It was so scary~!

parameters:
Big sisters, are you heading west? Mount Fuji looks like it
might erupt too, so please be really careful.

parameters:
Travelers and daimyo processions alike, everyone passes by
quickly. It used to be a big town, but many people have
left. You can't go against nature...

parameters:
Phew... That was startling. The demons headed towards Edo.
There were even some ridiculously huge ones among them... It
was scary...

parameters:
If Mount Fuji erupts again, it'll all be for naught... All
we can do is pray...

parameters: --Karin, Yugiri, and Momiji fell into the pitfall!

Nuuu! I can't see the bottom of this pitfall! It's another
deep one, isn't it? I'm the only one left above ground...

parameters:
It seems you didn't fall into the pitfall because you were
at the very end of the line? It's unfortunate that the most
troublesome opponent didn't fall into the trap, how
regrettable--

parameters:
Heh, I am honored that you remember my name. Oh King of
Apparitions, Lady Masaki--

parameters:
There is a vast cavern beneath Odawara, fitting to be your
grave, wouldn't you say? I do not wish to be further
hindered by you in my grand ambition's fulfillment. Heh heh
heh--

parameters:
(Gyoun... I've heard that name somewhere before, but I can't
recall.)

parameters:
You may go and rescue them if you wish. Or you can fight me
here. Now, what will you do? Oh King of Apparitions--?

parameters:
...I am worried about the three of them. Of course, I will
head underground to rescue them. It's frustrating that I
can't defeat the demon general right before my eyes.

parameters:
That would be wise. Actually, the final ritual has not yet
been completed. To be honest, we would like to buy a little
more time on our side.

parameters:
Hmph, you're quite composed to reveal your situation so
frankly. Very well. I too need a bit more time to unleash my
greatest power. After rescuing the three, I will head to
Mount Fuji to battle.

parameters:
The finishing touches are perfect--You all, make sure those
four cannot emerge from underground to the surface. Is that
clear?

Long ago, the second floor of this bathhouse was a bustling
place with bathhouse girls. But the shogunate banned it, and
all the girls were taken to the pleasure quarters. Now, it's

Phew, a long bath really freshens you up. Edo folks love
their baths so much they come to bathe two or even three

I like playing shogi after a bath. It's important to have
these kinds of places where everyone can interact.

separated because of the pitfall, but I'm glad we could
safely regroup.

...By the way, did you encounter any strange enemies on your
way here? Like a monster with wriggling tentacles?

parameters:
Ah, those disgusting tentacles? They were blocking the path
on the way here, so I slashed them in two! (Hmph!)

parameters:
...I was caught off guard and restrained for a bit, but
afterwards, I tore them to pieces.

parameters:
They were annoying enemies trying to restrain us, so I
chopped them up so they'll never attack anyone again.

parameters:
...I let my guard down and got restrained, it was tough... I
never want to fight that enemy again...

parameters:
Those tentacles were indeed bothersome. But I managed to
defeat them without being harmed.

parameters:
...Hmm, it was quite a challenging enemy. Despite various
things happening, it's good that we were able to regroup
safely.

parameters:
I see. No, it was an unnecessary question. Well, let's not
dawdle. Let's hurry on ahead.

parameters: The shaking is getting stronger and stronger!

parameters: We must hurry to Mount Fuji to stop the Gyōon ritual!

parameters:
Indeed. We don't have time to waste in a place like this.
The exit is just ahead. Let's hurry, Karin--!

parameters: --Karin and the others headed for the exit!

is a blunder--!

else? It's dangerous to be alone in enemy territory. I need

Yeah. We really got dropped into a troublesome spot, huh? I
wonder if Momiji-san and Masaki-chan are okay?

I'm not sure. It would be bad if we moved on ahead and
couldn't regroup with them. Let's wait here for a while for
the two of them.

while...

parameters: \c[2]――Momiji's Hp Has Decreased By 300!\c[0]

somewhere. I need to regroup with Karin-chan and the others
quickly--

parameters: Where is Masaki-dono? Wasn't she with you, Momiji-dono?

parameters:
Perhaps... our master might not have fallen into the hole.
But surely, she will come looking for us.

parameters:
We shouldn't move around strangely until all four of us are
together. We'll wait here for Masaki-dono, Karin. Is that
alright?

Hmm... Have the three of you still not managed to climb up
here?

parameters: Karin: "Wahh...! What's with this forest maze?!"

parameters:
I feel like we've been going around in circles for a while
now. It's as if we're being made to dance in the palm of the
trees...

parameters:
Now that I think about it... I remember what Master said.
Last month, she created a "Labyrinth of Bewilderment" inside
the Forest of Spirits to prevent intruders...

parameters: What?! That's terrible! Is this maze that thing?

parameters:
What should we do... Even if we wanted to go back, we've
wandered so much that we might not be able to find our way
back, right?

parameters:
It's troubling... I thought it would be fine since I used to
live in this forest... Maybe it would have been better to
ask Master to come with us after all...

parameters:
Karin: "Wahh... I don't have the energy to go back to Edo
after coming this far..."

parameters:
We walked quite a bit to get past the checkpoint and come
here... If we keep wandering aimlessly, we'll just keep
losing strength. We have no choice but to make this place
our lodging and stay the night.

parameters:
That's right. Then I'll go gather some firewood for the
campfire.

parameters: --Karin and the others began preparing for the campfire.

parameters:
It was good that I brought extra food, thinking about what
might happen if we got stranded in the mountains.

parameters:
Yeah. Somehow, eating meat around a campfire in the midst of
nature at night strangely stirs up emotions.

parameters:
I've been living a nomadic life ever since I became a demon,
so it reminds me of old times...

parameters:
Karin: "Um... Momiji... There's been a lot happening since
we left the pleasure district, and I haven't had the chance
to ask, but could you tell us in detail about what happened
in the Fuma Clan's village?"

parameters: Momiji: "...About the Fuma Clan's village?"

parameters:
Since we heard that blue demon was Fuma Kotaro in the
last battle, we must know about our enemy. I'm also
interested.

parameters:
I've always wanted to know why the survivors of the Wind
Demon Clan became demons... about my father and mother who
lived in the village... but...

parameters:
But... I was afraid that learning the truth would shatter
everything I've known until now... I was too scared to ask.
But now, I really want to know. Especially since Kotaro told
me my father is dead... I want to know even more.

parameters:
Momiji: "Is that okay with you, Karin-chan? Knowing about
the past isn't always a good thing. It might bring you
pain..."

parameters:
Karin: "I'm prepared. Please tell me everything you know,
Momiji! About what happened in the Fuma Clan's village
over a hundred years ago--"

parameters:
Momiji: "...Alright. Then I will tell you both. To be
precise, it was 123 years ago, what happened in the Wind
Demon Clan's village..."

parameters:
...And after some time, my father joined Gyoun as a comrade,
albeit with hesitation, and the remnants of the Fuma
Clan who had become demons continued to kill people while
hiding in the shadows.

parameters: So that's what they call the Eight Grudge War Demons...

parameters:
Yes. But I hated it and eventually fled from my father and
their group. However... The impulse to eat humans that had
been ingrained over many years was not something that could
easily be resisted... until I met Lady Masaki--

parameters: ...So you met Masaki-chan here in this Forest of Spirits.

parameters:
Yes. The pure and clear air here weakened my demonic
power... And thanks to Master's detoxification technique, or
rather her demon-purging technique, my urge to eat humans
gradually decreased over the years.

parameters:
...Why did you leave this forest and live in the pleasure
district?

parameters:
I felt somewhat guilty for always being under Master's
care... So I decided to live in the pleasure district.
Whenever I absolutely had to eat humans, I would feed on the
corpses of courtesans who had died from illness.

parameters:
...I see. So that was your journey from the Fuma
Clan's village to the pleasure district.

parameters:
It's been a long story, but that's what happened until I met
all of you. The silence of the night makes it easier for
people to talk...

parameters:
It must have been tough after the Fuma Clan's village
was destroyed, Momiji-san...

parameters:
If you were once with Gyoun as one of the War Demons, do you
not know his purpose, Lady Momiji?

parameters:
I never killed people and wasn't very cooperative. I only
saw him at meetings held every few years... However, Gyoun
did advocate for demons to kill many humans without being
noticed, beyond just satisfying their hunger.

parameters:
...! (Could that one-eyed demon who attacked Yugiri Village
be one of them?)

parameters:
The souls of humans who die with resentment or grief become
spirits known as "Grudge." Gyoun mentioned that he needed
many of these spiritual sacrifices. I don't know why he's
collecting them.

parameters:
Grudge...? Something like a soul filled with resentment...
What on earth are they planning to do with them?

parameters:
...We won't know unless we ask Gyoun and Kotaro directly
when we confront them someday... For that, we first need to
get our hands on the demon-slaying sacred treasures located
here.

parameters:
That's right. The night has grown late; let's sleep here for
tonight.

parameters:
If we can get out of this forest maze, we should find it
soon. Let's give it our all again tomorrow. Good night--

parameters:
--Karin, Yugiri, and Momiji fell asleep in front of the
campfire...

parameters: Yawn... The birds are chirping... Is it already... morning?

parameters: ...You're awake, Karin? You were sleeping soundly.

parameters:
Good morning, Karin-chan. You must have been tired; you
slept so deeply.

parameters:
Huh, everyone's already up? I feel a bit embarrassed for
oversleeping like this... Ahaha...

parameters:
Lady Momiji, recalling last night's conversation, I'm
curious... If eating the flesh of a demon turns one into a
demon, what would happen if someone ate your flesh?

parameters:
In that case, they wouldn't become a demon. It seems that
only the flesh of what is called a "True Demon" can turn
someone into a demon... It's like how children inherit the
abilities of a demon, but grandchildren do not inherit
anything... That's how it works.

parameters: (I see... So mass-producing demons is difficult...)

parameters:
Thank you for telling us, Lady Momiji. Now, let's break
through the Forest of Illusions today.

parameters: ...! Wait! I sense the presence of some beast nearby!

parameters:
--Nyahaha! So you were indeed stuck in the maze of
illusions?

parameters:
My apologies for forgetting to mention it. Beyond here is my
temple... or rather my home territory. When I'm away, I've
set up a magical barrier to prevent easy entry because
things are rather dangerous now, aren't they?

parameters: Aww... You should have told us that beforehand...

parameters: This is troubling, Lady Masaki. We're all exhausted...

parameters:
I'm truly sorry about that. I'll remove the barrier now.
There--!

parameters: --Masaki formed a seal and lifted the barrier!


parameters: With this, the maze of delusion has disappeared.

parameters: Phew... That settles it. We can finally move forward.

parameters: Of course. Unbelievably, I sense Senbi's demonic aura ahead.

parameters: Yay! Masaki-chan is strong, so I'm looking forward to it♪

parameters:
...However, is it true that Lady Masaki was defeated by
Senbi? It's hard to believe...

parameters:
Indeed. Even I, the king of demons, have a weakness...
During the new moon, I perform a ritual to concentrate and
gather demonic energy. It was during that vulnerable moment
that the bastard attacked me... It was truly careless of me.

parameters:
Heh heh heh, it seems they've noticed my demonic aura as
well. Interesting. This time I won't be caught off guard. I
must severely punish that mischievous wolf!

parameters: \c[17]--Masaki has joined the party!\c[0]

parameters:
\c[17]Please change Masaki's equipment to stronger armor and
accessories.\c[0]

displayName: Hot Spring Inn


displayName: Pleasure Quarter

parameters:
Dammit, is the brothel still not open? Can't they start
doing business soon? I'm hard as a rock over here...

parameters:
At this hour, the pleasure quarters are not yet open. The
city that never sleeps comes alive at night.

parameters:
A courtesan without any relatives is carried to a temple and
cremated as an unclaimed Buddha when she dies. Those with
graves are still considered fortunate. It's so sad...

parameters:
Momiji-san isn't at home, I wonder where she went. Karin-
san, do you have any idea?

parameters:
Acts of violence and misconduct in the pleasure district
will be severely punished--

parameters:
Oh! Are you also a courtesan? What a beauty you are!♪ Which
establishment do you belong to?

parameters:
No! I'm just here for a walk! Goodbye! (I was mistaken for a
courtesan... but... being called a beauty doesn't feel too
bad, does it?)

parameters:
I guess I'll grab some food somewhere until the pleasure
quarter opens. Something that'll give me energy would be
good. Hehe♪

parameters:
[Sign] Searching for a lost fox. If found, please contact
us--

parameters: [Sign] Lost fox found. Thank you very much.

parameters:
The pleasure quarters start bustling from the afternoon, and
naturally, it's at night when the most customers come.

parameters:
I have to wash the dirty futons from last night, it's quite
a hassle. After all, everyone wants to sleep in a clean
futon.

*panting* Thank you for saving me! I'm worried about our
lord. Please go to the castle tower and protect them!

Ugh... Suddenly, a horde of demons stormed into the

parameters:
Guhhh... You've done well to defeat the demons and make it
to the top floor... But... you're just a step too late... I

parameters:
Oh!? You're a real beauty, aren't you? Wanna get cozy with
me?

parameters:
Oh!? You're a real beauty, aren't you! How about getting
cozy with me?

parameters:
Wahahaha! Bring more sake! Tonight is a banquet without
formalities!

parameters:
You can go up to the second floor from those stairs over
there.

parameters:
That's the spirit! Just as expected from the party committee
chief!

parameters:
We have to style our hair nicely to be liked by the
customers. Your hairstyle is perfect.

parameters:
I'm not slacking off on the job. It's just a little pick-me-
up. *hic*...

parameters:
...Can't you do something about your outfit? Exposing your
shoulders like a courtesan from the past... The trend
nowadays is to dress more fully, that's what's considered
stylish.

parameters:
Scared of the gazes from men on the other side? Ahaha, it's
only scary at first. You'll get used to it quickly.

parameters:
The sound of this shamisen is lovely, don't you think?
Ufufu...

parameters: The happiest time is when I'm eating... (munch munch)

parameters:
...The life of a courtesan might seem glamorous at first
glance, but this place is undoubtedly a world of suffering.
If you don't want to end up as a forsaken soul, you'd better
find yourself a good husband soon and have him redeem you.

parameters: --\c[17]【Skill Sake】\c[0] has been obtained!

parameters:
I need to hurry and serve the additional dishes...!
(flustered)

parameters: Oh, are you the new girl? How about a drink?

parameters:
I'm taking the day off because I'm not feeling well today. I
feel bad for keeping the customers waiting... but in a
business where your body is your capital, health is more
important.

parameters: Mmm, not bad at all. Pour me some more sake. *hic*...

parameters:
Once you're done with the customer, make sure to thoroughly
cleanse your pussy with warm water. You won't be able to
take clients if you get pregnant, after all.

parameters:
(...What if I get pregnant? Carrying a child from a customer
I don't even know...)

parameters:
(It's hard to go to the bathroom when I'm attending to
customers. I should go now while I have the chance...)

parameters:
Phew... I've been filled with so much... I hope I'm not
pregnant...

parameters:
--Karin scooped out the semen with her fingers and wiped it
off with a tissue.

parameters:
(...I haven't gotten my period... Could it be, in my
belly...)

parameters:
Are you scared of the gazes from men on the other side?
Ahaha, it's only at first. You'll get used to it soon.

parameters:
I'm sorry...! I'm a new courtesan-- (I'm the only one with
exposed shoulders unlike the other courtesans, but I thought
this might be better...)

parameters: Yes, yes, not bad at all. Pour me some more sake. *hic*...

parameters:
Oh, are you the new girl? The most clients you can take in
one night is four. With your looks, I think you'll be able
to earn a lot. Do your best.

parameters:
I've heard that the castle was attacked, but there are still
those who can't stop visiting the pleasure quarters even in
times of emergency. We must give them plenty of attention,
right?\I[15]

parameters: Mmm, I'm not in pain. Pour me some more sake. *hic*...

parameters:
Oh? You're quite the gem, aren't you? In this vast pleasure
district, you'd be among the top five beauties. I'll have to
ask for your company next time. Hahahaha\I[15]

parameters:
Ahh... I drank too much... Please, take me to the
restroom...

parameters:
No more. It's no good, Master. Tonight, I'm the one who will
be accompanying you...

parameters:
Geez! How could you do that?! Snatching away customers is
strictly forbidden! Hmph!

parameters:
Good job, good job! As expected of the Party Committee
Chief!

parameters: Heh heh heh\I[15]I'll hold you plenty today too.

parameters:
Ufufu, you've come to see me again today? I'm so happy.
Let's go to the parlor on the second floor.

parameters:
I have to style my hair nicely to be liked by the customers.
Your hairstyle is perfect.

parameters:
The sound of this shamisen is nice, don't you think?
Ufufu...

parameters:
Uuu... The girl I was familiar with has been bought out and
is no longer in the red-light district...

parameters:
Got it! --Karin has obtained the
[Color_17]【Nishikigoi】\c[17]!

parameters: Got it! --Karin has obtained a \c[17]【Carp】\c[0]!

parameters:
Fooffooffoo\I[15] Now, let's head to the parlor on the
second floor♪

parameters:
I'm sorry, you'll have to wait in line... Just a little
longer, please.

parameters:
(The red-light district is always so crowded. The city that
never sleeps isn't a lie.)

parameters:
Are you called Karin-chan? Why don't you wear a hairpin in
your hair like I do? Ufufu, this is the elegance of a
courtesan.♪

parameters:
Oh, are you the new girl? You're quite cute. Please don't
take away my regular customers.

parameters:
Oh, are you a newcomer I haven't seen before? The clients
all like to finish inside, so it's best to be mindful of
contraception. You see, you put a thin piece of Japanese
paper, a stuffing paper, deep inside there. That way, the
sperm can't get in, and it becomes a bit of a relief.

parameters:
We need to style our hair nicely to be liked by the
customers. Your hairstyle is perfect.

parameters:
The pleasure quarter is bustling today too, huh. Is the
parlor not ready yet?

parameters:
Yes♪ Please shower me with lots of love tonight as
well\I[15]

parameters:
Oh!? You're a real beauty, aren't you! Wanna get cozy with
me?

parameters:
The number of customers has dropped by more than half. It
can't be helped in times like these.

parameters:
Is it true that the demons attacked and the castle burned
down? We can't go outside, so we're not well-informed about
the outside world...
