Kasumi

Wasn't expecting to see the "floating house" mirage here.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

You believe where there is a paranormal event, a Ninja Art might be around, right?

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

No, it's just one of the many explanations. What do you see, Kasumi-san?

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

A shrine. But my ninja sense tells me seeing can be deceiving.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

So it's true when they say ninjas can "see" with everything around them.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

Is it the wind?

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Scent, or the lack of it.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

I scouted the place earlier. The shrine should be at the peak.

🔇 N/A

For reasons unknown, the shrine at the peak was projected here, halfway up the mountain.

🔇 N/A

As soon as I realized that, the illusion of the shrine began fading away in my eyes and the wasteland was restored.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Most paranormal events take place when a group of hallucinated people believe they witness extraordinary things.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

But from the intel gathered so far, something concrete and substantial could not yet be ruled out.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

I'll start my investigation here.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

You're collecting the rune of the Path of Tiryag this time. Keep it in mind and clues will find you.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Failing to recover the Naraka rune was on me. I should have paid more attention to the weird acting golem.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

But there's no point whining over spilled milk. I should focus on now.

🔇 N/A

Ferryman

Well then, I'll be standing by at a distance. If you need anything...

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Someone coming. Keep in contact.

🔇 N/A

The ambient scent changed.

🔇 N/A

Night alone was disguise enough, but I took the extra caution to walk in tree shades.

🔇 N/A

And I caught something unusual, alongside the sound of leaves rustling.

🔇 N/A

Hard to say it's brisk or harsh, but it's definitely bitter melon.

🔇 N/A

And the source of the smell seemed to be in a huge panic.

🔇 N/A

???

Anyone? Somebody please save me!

🔇 N/A

A vertically challenged miko ran over with dripping tears.

🔇 N/A

???

Waah... What's going on? I was heading down, but why do I end up back at the shrine again?

🔇 N/A

???

Somebody... Anybody!

🔇 N/A

Apparently she's caught right in the middle of the mirage.

🔇 N/A

Her looks told me she's a miko from the shrine. Maybe she could lead me to the shrine and the Ninja Art.

🔇 N/A

???

Nobody will show up... It's this late... Nobody can help me now...

🔇 N/A

The tiny miko began crying out loud while hugging the tree for whatever little consolation that provided.

🔇 N/A

Looks like she will never make it back to the shrine without someone's help. Gotta think of something now.

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black, then switches to the battlefield, where the Captain will have control of Yae Sakura's [Darkbolt Jonin] battlesuit. >

Escort Theresa to the shrine.
Try to stay close to Theresa.

< Talk with Theresa. >

???

Waah... What's going on? Why do I end up back at the shrine again?

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Hi, miko-san.

🔇 N/A

???

Waah... Y-You know me?! Please please, don't tell anyone I got lost. It's too... embarrassing.

🔇 N/A

???

"The miko that went lost".

🔇 N/A

???

That will be how I'm remembered by later generations if you tell someone.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

And maikos from Evernight will create a new dance based on your story so that every guest can have a good laugh.

🔇 N/A

???

Aaaah... I'm... done...

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Haha, I was just teasing you, but I didn't know your reputation mattered so much to you.

🔇 N/A

As I expected, the little miko had blind trust in any strangers.

🔇 N/A

???

I've walked this path for a million times... No way I got it wrong this time...

🔇 N/A

???

Years as an apprentice but still can't remember the road? I'd never make a respected miko this way!

🔇 N/A

All riled up by her own words, she sat down on a roadside rock and crossed her legs, stirring up some loose soil.

🔇 N/A

If I leave her alone, she'd probably whine all day right there.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Miko-san, what's your name? And where are you going?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

My name is Theresa, and I'm going to buy... No, I'm not telling you that!

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Theresa? A very special name.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Something tells me you're gonna buy some bitter melon juice, right?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Er... right... But I'm trapped in the shrine now...

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Anyway, just take me out of here.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

This is not the real shrine, so we can't go down the mountain right now. We need to return to the real shrine first.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

But if we don't go down right now, she will probably be mad at me...

🔇 N/A

Biting her fingers, Theresa looked elsewhere, as if there's someone else at the shrine that she cared about.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Never mind... it will forgive me.

🔇 N/A

Theresa muttered to herself as she stood up and shook off the dust.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Please stay closely behind me.

🔇 N/A

< Follow Theresa. >

Theresa:

Your ears...

Kasumi:

What's wrong?

Theresa:

Nothing... They're beautiful...

< Defeat the enemies. >

< Enemies defeated. >

Theresa:

Hmm... Just as I expected, we hit haunted walls.

Kasumi:

Haunted walls? What does that mean?

Theresa:

I read it somewhere —

Theresa:

Sometimes people cannot tell the direction at dark nights.

Theresa:

They cannot find their ways but just going around in circles,

Theresa:

thinking that they're trapped in a haunted situation.

Theresa:

It's actually because they're too tired, confused, or panicky,

Theresa:

so they couldn't find their ways.

Kasumi:

Hmm. Sounds just like life itself...

< Defeat the enemies. >

Theresa:

That monster... came back to life?

Kasumi:

Or just reemerged...

Kasumi:

Let's investigate it later.

< Enemies defeated. >

Kasumi

We're at the shrine now, Theresa.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Thank you.

🔇 N/A

I looked around and found it a contrast to my imagination. It's well maintained, and didn't look aged at all.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Oh, I haven't asked your name...

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

You can call me Kasumi.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Doesn't sound like a real name... And your outfit... Are you a ninja? Is Kasumi your code name?

🔇 N/A

Silence is the best answer for it.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

You're probably on a mission... but I came up and stalled you... I'm really sorry for it.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

I thought ninjas were mysterious and horrible. They are always lurking in the dark and ready to spill blood.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

They'd even become someone's shadow if that's necessary.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

You're right.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

So it's a rare thing then, to shelter someone with your shadow.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Huh?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

When you were taking me here, you walked in the front and kept yourself exposed.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

...

🔇 N/A

"It's sometimes necessary for the mission."

🔇 N/A

I felt an urge to say this, but eventually kept my silence.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Sorry, this must sound like nonsense to you...

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Would you like to stay at Yae Shrine today, Kasumi?

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

OK, I'll keep you safe.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

You... you're are an outlander, right?

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Huh?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

People here never touch the topic of Yae Shrine. But you didn't even blink when you heard the word.

🔇 N/A

I know Raksha's Rage is a forbidden art here, but Ferryman said nothing about people's fear of the shrine.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

It's not his fault though. It's an old story that's been etched into local people's mind without them knowing.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Miko-sama entrusted the shrine to me... Of course, it's impossible. That's 500 years ago.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Miko-sama has always been my idol, and this is my way of honoring her memories.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

I appointed myself apprentice miko and rebuilt the shrine myself.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Rebuilt?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Right... it's not "the Yae Shrine", only with the same name.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

The original was destroyed in the epic battle.

🔇 N/A

Theresa talked in a most calm and collected way, a sharp contrast to the hopeless whimpering girl earlier.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

May I touch your ears?

🔇 N/A

After a moment of hesitation, I crouched down and tried hard to appear relaxed with my whole body tightened.

🔇 N/A

This way, I could easily deal with any situation.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

The ears are... real.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

When I first saw your ears... I thought miko-sama had returned.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

People say miko-sama had fox ears too, and they were the source of her amazing power.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

But she won't wear these.

🔇 N/A

Theresa stood on her toes and touched my golden earring. It wiggled and rubbed my ear with a slight chill.

🔇 N/A

I've grown used to their wiggling, but when it's touched by someone, the feeling is quite different.

🔇 N/A

Theresa let go and stepped back. She then tugged her own ears.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Unlike you, I'm all fake.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Even though, I will never let the shrine fall into the hands of someone who doesn't care.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Fox ears are why people fear this shrine. And they believe it for the same reason.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

Fear?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Right. The fox ears empowered miko-sama, but they are also proof that she once shared her body with the demon fox.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

Of course, there is no demon left now.

🔇 N/A

???

HOWL!

🔇 N/A

This smell... A little animal? No, it's bigger... A wild beast?

🔇 N/A

The smell surged from every corner of the shrine.

🔇 N/A
