[k] ?1:Is something bothering you? ?2:Is something different than usual? ?! [charaFace A 12] @Mash ...Yes. I'm not sure how to put it, but there wasn't as much punch to them... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [communicationCharaLoop 98003003 1 5 0 5] @Dr. Roman Looking at the data, it seems they're made up of spiritual bodies on the inside. [k] @Dr. Roman They appear rough and crude, but in reality they could just be beings of higher spiritual existence. [k] @Dr. Roman I can't say all of the phantasmals in Japan are like this. Ushiwaka, what's your take? [k] @Dr. Roman You were raised by Tengu, right? [k] [communicationCharaClear] [wait communicationChara] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 3] [charaFadein D 0.1 2] [communicationCharaLoop 98003003 0 5 0 5] @Ushiwakamaru Hmm, I was often told it was forbidden to speak about my masters, so I can't really give you the details, but... [k] [charaFace D 0] @Ushiwakamaru Mystical creatures from this land are not terribly different than those from the West. They are mostly categorized as spiritual beasts or spirits of the dead. [k] @Ushiwakamaru Spiritual beasts are physical existences hidden from the human world. The other is born into this world as a living curse without physical form. [k] @Ushiwakamaru These oni are the latter.[sr]When I cut into them, there is no substance. [k] @Ushiwakamaru They are like smoke that would kill you if inhaled.[sr]They are born of a curse created by human deeds. [k] [charaTalk B] @Dr. Roman So they're not a living creature of any proper ecosystem. Okay, then that makes sense. [k] [communicationCharaFace 2] @Dr. Roman But this is no time to be talking casually! [%1], put that pretty woman on camera! [k] @Dr. Roman I've got to talk to her! She's got huge boo... I mean, she's got to be a huge source of information! [k] [communicationCharaClear] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wait communicationChara] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @??? My, where is that voice coming from? [k] @??? I sense someone both sensitive and discreet, and though he is timid, has high marks in versatility and reason... [k] ?1:Hate to break it to you, but he's a real chicken. [charaTalk B] @Dr. Roman Oh, shush [%1], you don't have to compliment me like that. [k] ?2:Who in the world are you...? [charaTalk G] @??? Fufufu... Don't mind me too much.[sr]I am merely a warrior passing by. [k] ?! [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 1] @??? Either way, let me express my gratitude for your efforts, nameless foreigners. [k] [charaFace G 0] @??? Such unusual attire. How did you come to this island? There won't be any ship coming into the harbor for a while... [k] @??? [line 3]Oh my! Oh, my oh my oh my![sr]Such a preciously cute warrior. Who might you be? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 2] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 0] @Ushiwakamaru My name is Mi... I mean, Ushiwakamaru. I admire how you did not give any ground when facing the oni. [k] @Ushiwakamaru You appear to be no ordinary swordsman.[sr]You look as if you are a warrior of great renown. [k] [charaShake D 0.1 1 1 99] [charaTalk G] @??? Well...fufufu... (Pat Pat) [k] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 3] [charaShakeStop D] @Ushiwakamaru Wha!? ...Uhm, uhh... [k] [charaTalk G] @??? Honestly, though, you really shouldn't pay me any attention. [k] @??? This time, I was only doing things for my own ends, and you only did what you did for yours[line 2] [k] @??? As a result, our paths just happened to cross. [k] @??? If fortune brings us together once more, then so be it. [k] @??? Now then, I will be going.

[k] [charaTalk B] @Dr. Roman You should've stopped her![sr]Aww man, I really wanted you to stop her! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 10] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Fuuma Kotarou ...No, we never could have stopped her. To question the activities of someone of such high rank is tantamount to rudeness. [k] @Fuuma Kotarou ...I am a man that lives in the shadows, but even I could tell what her rank is. [k] [charaTalk A] @Mash She was a woman with an odd aura.[sr]A magnanimous, maternal aura. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 3] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Ushiwakamaru Uhmmm... That person... Hmmm? [k] ?1:So you know her? ?! @Ushiwakamaru No, it's definitely the first time I've met her. [k] @Ushiwakamaru But her aura is one that I seem to know from somewhere, her aroma... How can I put it... It's kind of nostalgic... Hmm? [k] [charaTalk B] @Dr. Roman (She's moving her hands like she could physically rewind her brain.) [k] @Dr. Roman Well, there's no use pondering over what we don't know. At any rate, right now we[line 2]Huh?

I'm a little late. [k] @Sakata Kintoki Bear here is getting way out of hand![sr]We rode way further than I originally planned. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 2] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0] @Mash Ah, Kintoki. [k] [charaTalk E] @Fuuma Kotarou ...You're all right.[sr]It's good to...see you back again... [k] [charaTalk F] @Sakata Kintoki ...Huh? What's this? Have you had yourselves a fight? Damn! I missed out on the fun. That's not fair, you guys. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 2] @Ushiwakamaru Actually, we ourselves aren't entirely satisfied with the battle either... [k] @Ushiwakamaru Most of this was handled by an armored warrior that just happened to be passing by. We hardly participated at all. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 2] @Sakata Kintoki An armored warrior?[sr]There was someone like that here? [k] [charaTalk B] @Dr. Roman Yes. You could say she had terrific skill, as well as terrific va-voom... she was in many ways the essence of maternity... [k] [charaFace F 5] @Sakata Kintoki [line 6]Huh? [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Though she wore armor, she stood slender and tall, and she was soft...or you could say attractive, I guess. [k] @Mash At any rate, she carried herself with such charm that she gave off a lovely aroma. It appeared as if she was a warrior with renown, but... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 7] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Sakata Kintoki ...What? You sure?[sr]Could it be...? [k] [charaTalk B] @Dr. Roman Yes, Kintoki? [k] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 1] @Sakata Kintoki Oh, no, it's nothing. Forget about that.[sr]What's the situation now? [k] [charaTalk B] @Dr. Roman You're right. Let us compare notes.[sr]First[line 2] [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 2.0] [wait fade] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 1.0] [scene 27800] [fadein black 2] [wait fade] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 7] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Sakata Kintoki So... we can't get to the top without taking out three great oni, huh? And those dudes are golden strong. [k] [charaFace F 1] @Sakata Kintoki All right, this is getting interesting! There's nothing better than an easy-to-understand situation! [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 2] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 0] @Ushiwakamaru I knew you'd say something like that, Kintoki! [k] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 1] @Fuuma Kotarou I...agree. [k] [charaTalk B] @Dr. Roman Ahh... It's always like this with people that are always ready for a fight... Kintoki, what did you find out on your recon? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Sakata Kintoki Oh, yeah. Well, you already know about the labor camps where the oni are making humans work... [k] @Sakata Kintoki But I also found a place similar to a human settlement.[sr]I only got a glimpse of it from far away though. [k] [charaTalk B] @Dr. Roman A settlement, huh? Obviously it would be inefficient to keep them working constantly. It's necessary to give the humans a place to live as well. [k] @Dr. Roman It's dangerous, but we might be able to get more information if we go there. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash We'll defeat the great oni defending the gates, and get their keys. Then we'll go to the settlement for information. [k] @Mash We have a mission for the moment.[sr]Let's be careful, Master!
