Those Orochi were exceptionally strong, weren't they?[sr]I wonder if it has anything to do with us getting closer to the castle?

[charaFace B 1]

I'm relieved to hear that. I may not be able to help as much as I would like, but I'll still do everything I can!

＠Fuuma Kotarou
If we are to take Paraíso and Saṃghāta Hell at their word, these serpents are kin to Yamata-no-Orochi, who is said to be a Divine Spirit.

Now, it looks to me like you're headed for Toke Castle.[sr]Is that right?
[k]
[charaFace E 4]
＠Missionary
That ominous aura surrounding it is a curse designed expressly to keep people away. The fact that you are advancing toward it despite that tells me that you are all either hopelessly dim-witted...
[k]
[charaFace E 0]
＠Missionary
...or that there is something giving you the strength to endure its fury and malice. Either way, you made the right choice, [%1].

There is no need for you to cease your advance.[sr]Continue on your way.

A sorcerer is using the keep at Toke Castle...

...or rather, Onriedo Castle, as it ought to be known now, to perform a ritual.

If that name doesn't betray his true intentions, I can't imagine what would! Indeed, that name is undoubtedly meant to be a play on words.

It is not merely the embodiment of rage, regret, and agony. It is a curse. Or, perhaps, anger towards a god who has yet to provide salvation.

At any rate, you must hurry, [%1].[sr]The sorcerer is not the only one in Onriedo's keep.
[k]
＠Missionary
Matsudaira's daughter is sure to be held captive there[sr]as well. What was her name again? If your memory serves[line 2]
[k]
？1：Kiyohime!
？2：She's being held in the castle!?
？！
＠Missionary
Driven by revenge, the sorcerer means to cast a far-ranging, multilayered curse on the entire Tokugawa regime! His curse is so powerful that it will threaten the stability of many parallel worlds!
[k]
＠Missionary
And since his aim is to curse every possibility of a Tokugawa regime, Matsudaira's daughter would make for the perfect catalyst, given her Tokugawa heritage!
[k]
[charaFace E 4]
＠Missionary
Her blood may be a bit lacking compared to someone from the immediate Tokugawa family, but it should still serve for his plans.
[k]
＠Missionary
I mean, given that Iemitsu is only the third shogun, her[sr]blood is still more than strong enough. ...[charaFace E 0]Aha, I see.
