Cupid

Although Kagura suggested that you use your ability to "chew wine" to cling to the legendary "two-faced Su Nuo", but you are restricted by Naraku and cannot go out freely, and you have little experience. You always go around other big monsters , I really can't think of a way to meet this person.

She is the messenger of the wind, and her whole personality is the same as that of the unrestrained wind. She is the type who will immediately do whatever comes to her mind.

Just after Kagura announced the alliance with you, he took you out of the stable residence and went to the "shrine" deep in the mountains as originally planned.

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just let him find the door by himself."

"Well... Anyway, you follow me first."

She looks like she really has something important to do, so you follow Kagura's pace very obediently.

Although you really don't understand what it means to have Su Nuo come to your door!

After casually summarizing the policy, facing you with question marks on your face, Kagura let out a long sigh.

Regarding your intelligence level, Kagura, who watched the whole process of Otsubaki training you when he had nothing to do, didn't have much expectation.In order not to go wrong, she still has to explain to you while taking you on the road, unfolding her plan and saying:

"...Hey, as a shrine maiden, you should at least have heard of big monsters like Shuten-douji, right?"

The familiar name next to your ear lifts your spirits.In order to prove that you are still reliable, you who followed Kagura hastily replied:

"Listen, I've heard it! He is the legendary leader of the Oeyama Hyakki who was defeated by the "Four Heavenly Kings of Raikou"! Naraku asked us to come out this time, so that I can find the god who subdued Shuten in the first place while shopping. Ghost wine, right?"

Because you were a wine-making priestess during your lifetime, you had the advice of your parents, and you yourself like to listen to stories, so you are familiar with the monsters related to wine and the "sacred wine" that subdues monsters——

Shuten-douji happens to have both.

As a big monster in the Heian period, he robbed women, girls and children, and stole gold, silver and jewels.The most famous of all crimes is his love of wine made of female flesh, and his warriors took advantage of it.

They pretended to pander to it, and dedicated the divine wine "Shenbian Guidu Wine" obtained from the gods to Guitun.This divine wine is extremely mellow and harmless to the human body, but it has the miraculous effect of making ghosts drowsy and lose their combat power.Shuten, who was drinking, was unable to resist because of this, and was beheaded by Minamoto Raimitsu.

And the happy land where you and Kagura are now is the original site of "Oeyama" where Shuten was sealed.Later generations rebuilt the shrine here in order to purify the souls of thousands of girls who were killed by Shuten.

Every year, the legendary "God's Poop and Ghost Poison Wine" is regularly invited from the powerful witch, and warlocks are called to act as evil spirits and warriors to reproduce the scene of beheading evil spirits in the past, so as to drive away the resentment left on the land and avoid people The negative emotions condensed into an imaginary mantra, which made "Jiu Tun" reappear in the world.

"Oh, you know...that's easy to explain."

Your familiarity with Shuten's story greatly reduces the difficulty of explaining Kagura.Kagura breathed a sigh of relief, and then she used the comparison of drinking to swallow, and continued the battle plan:

"The two-faced Su Nuo is the curse master of the era of 'Shuten-douji'. It is rumored that he is also a villain who likes to 'cook' women and children's flesh and blood. Because of this similar preference, they still want to eat wine and women better. , fought in Dajiangshan for three days and three nights. So in terms of strength, they should be about the same."

"It's just that Su Nuo was born as a human being. With his outstanding talent, he could do whatever he wanted, and eventually fell into a curse. For this kind of genius who 'takes a detour', you conjurers and witches regard him as a taboo existence, right?"

"The Kikyo is a sad woman, and the black witch is a heretic who is not worthy of being a witch. No wonder you only know about Jiu Tun, but not Su Nuo..."

Kagura's words came to an abrupt end with the change of the scene in front of him.It turns out that while you were chatting, you had already walked deep into the mountain and came to the main entrance of the shrine.

The enchantment to drive away the demons has been broken, and the dark red blood splashed on the solemn stone statue.There was a dead silence everywhere, only the whistling wind kept pouring into the wide open door, making a mournful sound.

Kagura raised his eyebrows at the ominous sight.

"Oh? This enchantment has already been opened by someone? Hurry up, we can't let them take the lead."

Saying so, the powerful messenger of the wind skillfully unfolded his paper fan and entered a battle state.

"And we didn't come here this time to snatch the fake shinai ghost poison wine from the shrine."

"It is rumored that someone has dug up the legacy of Jiu Tun hidden in the ground. It is a fine wine left over from the Heian period. And Su Nuo, Jiu Tun's drinking friend at the time, is bound to get this altar of fine wine..."

"It would be fun to have these two bump into each other."

Just at the opening of this "hell", Kagura finally revealed the last piece of the mystery of the whole plan.She looked ahead expectantly and let out a pleasant chuckle.

And you stare blankly at the wide-open shrine gate.The dark interior is like the abyss of a giant beast, making you swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Resurrected as a curse spirit with negative emotions as its power, you have a more intuitive experience of resentment and curses. It has been 500 years since "Shuten" was defeated, but there is still a strong resentment deep in the shrine where he was buried.

What kind of existence is the "two-faced Nuo" that can be compared with him?

...He can fight against the cunning Naraku.

According to Naraku's understanding of your greedy life and fear of death, it's no wonder he let you go out with Kagura.

He must have thought that you would hug Kagura's thigh tightly and beg her to end the exploration quickly and take you back to a safe place, but he certainly didn't expect that you have such wonderful attributes as a fox pretending to be a tiger, a small tsubaki fighting a big tsubaki!

Courage rises like soap bubbles.

You tightly clutched the wooden box containing Dachun's soul, and walked in boldly.
