![]() He had no luck finding the source, but maybe he found something even better. A CIA agent who met Ayame during an intel-gathering mission in Nippon to find the source of a new drug in Heaven City. She is a beautiful, kind, trusting, and innocent young woman who just got engaged and moved to Heaven City in pursuit of love and new adventures. "And no, these are not stories of the ancient past, but of a future full of hope.Ayame is the protagonist of Fleeting Iris. "I'd much rather snap off Thunder Sakura branches in a drunken haze and cavort with the impudent youkai." "I'm sorry, but the loneliness would get to me. "I mean, a Euthymia without wind or moon, with lotuses and udumbara that do not wither," The darkened remains of the swordmaster's soul, the beasts of catastrophe hiding in the sacred forest, they were all wiped out.Ĭompared to the dream of Eternity Her Excellency pursues, such things were but fleeting interludes,Īnd the wait for her to come around seemed to stretch out infinitely, but I knew that time was on our side. I hope "he" will find his way and not become a threat to us all. The marauding pirate Rinzou, terror of the archipelago, would also be betrayed over some small discordance in plans.Īnd as for that blank slate, that immortal eccentric. To quell the resentment of the wicked oni Kuroami, I once showed but a hint of the ominous power I wield.Īnd the great disturbance caused by Kosanta the Bald Tanuki would be made sport of with a little application of magic. With Her Excellency engrossed in her dream-real of Eternity, someone needed to look out for the common folk. ![]() "So let us see this imperfect world together and enjoy its obsessions with love and hate, with meetings and partings." "And Her Excellency, whom I might dare to call friend, should have more time yet to roam this world." "Though I have not had the fortune to have deep relationships with ordinary people, I came to know human beauty deeply." "In the short span of these few hundred years, I have walked the earth in many guises." That scene still glows brightly in my shallow heart like countless glimmering jewels. The moonlight sweeps across the imperial garden through branch and petal, alighting upon the empty courtyard. Is that not a form of bondage for the adepti? Still, I felt keenly that I could not understand her almost foolish love. I corresponded with a half-adeptus from a distant land, and gifted her fresh and supple ocean plants. I did add a few little tricks to make our contest more interesting. I knew a young and obstinate tengu warrior, and used the pretext of "training" to bluff her into asceticism in the mountains,īut sensing her unruly nature, I recommended her to those block-headed Kujou.Īnd though I once had a competition against an obstinate oni and was defeated by dint of sheer perseverance. So the lone daughter of the great kitsune lineage would take up the Kagura bells, and dance for the vibrant "now." The pure white, gentle figure of the past had long drifted into dark memory. ![]() The bells sounded again, and the obstinate sandbar loosened and dissolved into the swirling current. The tinkling of the bells grew distant, and the great silver kitsune, master and friend, disappeared into the winding river of dreams. "The night when I first performed the Kagura dance, I felt the weight of the 'past.'" "Thus it was in this way that the unfortunate task of putting a smile on Her Excellency's face fell squarely on my shoulders." "And that was how someone as bumbling as I took up the role of "Miko" and grew into the person you know today." "Lady Saiguu would later depart, never to return, and those seniors of mine would also be lost due to various other reasons." You know, warming her hands and feet and all. "Funnily enough, it was exactly because of my foolhardy courage that Her Excellency had pity on me." "Groping about clumsily, I was a whelp foraging through the snow, hoping to draw Her Excellency's attention." ![]() " I was a silly little thing back then, nowhere near as intelligent as our great matriarch Hakushin." The white silhouette, once something to pursue, never returned, yet it remains an unceasing dream from which one cannot wake. Where once there were dances before the throne, the sounds of the bells still linger. In other words, the effect persists for 16 seconds after the last use of an Elemental Skill, regardless of the number of stacks.
