And she should be fine once she makes it to the palace, since it's got some seriously tough Bounded Fields. Doubt even that Caster can break through 'em.

All right then, in the meantime, I guess we just wait for Danzo's report.

Yeah. We go back a ways, much as I wish we didn't.
[k]

[bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Shuten-Douji and Ibaraki-Douji are both crazy dangerous, even for oni.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
They're ridiculously strong, ridiculously tough, and they know how to use sorcery of a kind.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
They've even got an oni castle of sorts up on Mt. Ooe where they keep their underlings. In addition to Torakuma, they've also got Hoshikuma, Kanekuma, and Kuma-Douji.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Oni used to only be solitary creatures, but those two have been gatherin' them up in their castle.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Right now, you can still count their numbers on both hands...but eventually, they could have a full-blown oni army.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Long story short, Shuten-Douji and Ibaraki-Douji are on a whole different level from your typical oni.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Even Lord Abe-no-Seimei said they're the greatest threat Kyo's ever seen.

I don't know about Ibaraki...

[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
I know for a fact she used to eat people,[sr]but nowadays, she just...doesn't.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
It's all a game to her.[sr]Killing, stealing, torturing... Everything.
[k]

？1：So, Shuten-Douji's trying NOT to kill people?
？2：So, Shuten-Douji's avoiding killing people on purpose?

？！

[charaFace B 9]

＠Sakata Kintoki
For now, anyway. Which means she must be holdin' back a hell of a lot.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Hell, when I fought her about half a year ago, she cut my left arm to shreds and almost tore it right off, and that was still just her playin' around.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Luckily, Lord Seimei managed to put me back together.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Basically, as far as she's concerned, all living things[line 2][sr]human, beast, or whatever[line 2]are just toys for her to play with.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
She's that freakin' strong.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
It's no wonder Lord Seimei says she's the leader of all oni, and the closest one there is to an oni from the kingdom of demons.
[k]

[charaFace B 5]

＠Sakata Kintoki
There's more stories I've heard about her, too.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
They say that back when she lived on a mountain in some other country...
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
...she'd go around killin' people left and right, devourin' them whole, and line up their heads and...other parts for all kinds of messed up games.
[k]

[charaFace B 7]

＠Sakata Kintoki
And there's no tellin' when she might start doin' the same thing here in Kyo.

＠Sakata Kintoki
...maybe I shouldn't've let up until I'd cut both their heads off.
[k]

[charaFace B 7]

＠Sakata Kintoki
But...somethin' about that just doesn't seem right to me.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
I've fought Shuten lotsa times by now, and Ibaraki's right.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
I just can't bring myself to really go for their heads.
[k]

[charaFace B 4]

＠Sakata Kintoki
It's like...
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
What'd happen if I cut off their heads now?
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
Somethin' about that just doesn't feel right to me.
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
If I cut off the head of an oni who might talk a good game...
[k]

[charaFace B 9]

＠Sakata Kintoki
...but hasn't actually eaten anyone...
[k]

＠Sakata Kintoki
...would I really be proud of what I did when I dig into breakfast the next day?

No. I couldn't.

It was more difficult than I expected, as Shuten-Douji's group came and went at a moment's notice.
