The one who once suppressed Taira no Masakado, known as the "Ancestor of Eastern Martial Arts," Hyotan-ta, who is Fujiwara no Hidekyō, was famous during the Heian Period for slaying a giant Mukade.
At this moment.
The Mukade in the forest seemed not to have found its target, swinging its countless limbs beneath its body, howling as it crushed the trees and headed deeper into the forest.
After the Mukade left, the surroundings quieted down.
The cold mountain wind howled, swaying the tall trees and making the shadows flicker.
In the forest, a nondescript small deciduous tree also swayed its branches.
About twenty minutes passed.
A barely audible voice came from the trunk of the small deciduous tree, it was a girl's voice: "It should have gone far."
The tree was talking.
The small tree swayed twice, transforming into the figure of a young girl.
She had Maro eyebrows, a pair of pink eyes, furry animal ears on top of her head, and a large tail trailing behind her.
