Good morning![bgm BGM_EVENT_94 0.1][sr]I'm glad to see you up and about this early, Master!
[k]
[charaFace A 1]
Beni-Enma
I know you spend a lot of time at Chaldea on standby, but that's exactly why it's important for you to maintain good routines, chirp.
[k]
Beni-Enma
That means no staying up late, no midnight snacks, and no snoozing your alarm. Nighttime is for getting plenty of rest so you can wake up refreshed and raring to go the next day.

[charaFace A 13]
Beni-Enma
It's unfortunate that some Heroic Spirits still have yet to learn these lessons...

You're the sort of person I'd want for my coproprietor! It's no wonder you managed to restore all of humanity!
[k]
1Aww, it's not THAT big a deal. (Obviously proud)
[charaFace A 6]
Beni-Enma
Don't be silly, of course it is! You SHOULD be proud! You accomplished something monumental, chirp!

[charaFace A 3]
Beni-Enma
...That said, don't push yourself too hard, okay? Taking on too many responsibilities, or trying to live up to too many people's hopes, can leave you in a state of constant stress.

Come on, Master, it's time for breakfast. We have some lovely fish this morning thanks to Lady Sion.
[k]
Beni-Enma
We also have hot, freshly cooked rice for carbohydrates, and for the main dish: simmered sardines and pickled plums with a side of chrysanthemum greens.

Cooking at the Wandering Sea has been wonderful.[sr]We're spoiled for choice when it comes to seafood.

Thanks to the Chaldea staff's hard work, and some creativity on behalf of the chef Heroic Spirits...

Diarmuid
Providing such food was always a goal, but it was only through Madam Beni that it became a reality.

[charaFace D 0]
Diarmuid
It is the Enma-tei in the Land of Fairies[line 2]or the sage realm, as I believe it's called in other countries...

She is one of the most well-known Heroic Spirits in Japanese folklore. The Tongue-Cut Sparrow, was it?
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
Her history is quite long and storied, so let's take the events of her life one at a time.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
She was sold to a brothel at a young age, where she was forced to endure horrific treatment at her employers' hands.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
They crushed her throat...[sr]Cut off her tongue...
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
...so on the brink of death, she summoned up the last of her strength to escape.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
In my reading of the tale, I don't see this escape as her risking her life. Rather, I think she simply wanted to choose where she would die for herself.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
After all, she must have known her little broken-down body would never last through the night.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
And as fate would have it, when she ran into the mountains, she ended up wandering into a mayoiga...
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
...a haunted house that tested anyone who entered it, and killed them if they failed. There, she met her end.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
She died all by herself, without a single comforting word. It must have been a sad and lonesome end to her life.

But, as I believe they say in your country,[sr]one person's trash is another person's treasure.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
A Jizou, a kind of deity in Japan that looks after children, took pity on her and reincarnated her...
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
...into a lesser hell as a sparrow oni.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
It is here I feel I should remind you that time does not exist in hell the way it does in our world.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
Although the little girl we now know as Beni-Enma died during Japan's Edo period, she was reincarnated in hell before the Edo period had even begun.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
I expect that was done to cleanse her of her human karma; to truly wipe her slate clean, so to speak.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
In time, this red sparrow oni forgot about her life as a human, and went on to become a hard worker in hell.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
She did everything from helping to guide souls across the Sanzu River, to looking after the tormentor demons in Children's Limbo.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
Word of the hardworking sparrow traveled all across hell until eventually, Great King Enma adopted her as his child.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
From there, he lovingly trained her in the art of Battoujutsu, where she learned to cut off the tongues of anyone caught lying...
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
...and raised her into a judge overseeing hell itself.

Fionn mac Cumhaill

She was not originally born to oni-kind.[sr]She was a human who was transformed into one.

And so, the Enma ledger is a treasure containing untold amounts of top secret information.

Fionn mac Cumhaill
By stacking these words together, we are soon reminded of a certain Heroic Spirit.

Ibaraki-Douji: leader of oni and thieves, and above all, an oni who remains decidedly unrepentant.

The way I see it, it was only a matter of time before she made some sort of move on the good madam.

Diarmuid
...There's actually one more thing from Madam Beni's backstory that stood out to me.
[k]
Diarmuid
You said that her tongue was cut[sr]out back when she was human.
[k]
Diarmuid
Has it been restored now that she's a Heroic Spirit?

I'm afraid not, Diarmuid.[sr]And it never will be.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
You see, her tongue being cut is an inextricable factor in her being a Heroic Spirit.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
That's why it can never be restored, no matter what sort of healing spells one might try.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
For if it were, that would mean by definition that she was no longer the Tongue-Cut Sparrow.

Diarmuid
Then, in that case...how does she season her cooking?
[k]
Diarmuid
Needless to say, it is impossible to taste without a tongue. So if she is still missing hers...
[k]
1That's...a damn good point.

Fionn mac Cumhaill
Good question. Madam Beni is indeed missing her sense of taste, which is, of course, a huge disadvantage for a chef.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
So I cannot help but deeply respect the fact that she has become such an expert in the kitchen that she now has her own cooking classes.
[k]
[charaFace C 1]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
At any rate, I think that covers everything I needed to tell you before we begin.
[k]
Fionn mac Cumhaill
Standing by and letting Madam Beni fight this difficult battle alone would go against every principle I hold dear. Come, Master. What do you say we go poke our noses into her business?
