"Huh? That's not that sneaky bastard's voice?"
"Great, I'm finally saved! Hurry up and let me out!"
Instead of opening the lid after hearing this, Shinji drew the Snakeskin Sword...
A talking wine jar. The sight was rather bizarre.
"Who's the sneaky bastard? And what are you?"
"The sneaky bastard is the sneaky bastard! He tricked me and stuffed me into this jar. Oh, stop wasting time and let me out before he gets back!"
Shinji couldn't care less about some sneaky bastard. In fact, he was looking for the man.
What he held was an ordinary wine jar, not a sealing vessel, so whatever could fit inside was most likely a cursed spirit.
And with speech and thoughts that clear, it had to be at least a [Grade 1 Cursed Spirit], possibly even a [Special Grade Cursed Spirit].
Perhaps that so-called sneaky bastard had found its weakness and trapped it inside this wine jar.
So, to be safe, Shinji decided to... burn the cursed spirit inside to death!
Chop wood. Start a fire.
After completing the preparations with practiced ease, Shinji placed the wine jar in the fire without another word!
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? What are you doing? Why do I hear crackling...?"
"Ah! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!"
"Did you throw me into a fire?!!!"
"You bastard! You son of a bitch! Are you trying to kill me?!"
"I'm cooking! I'm going to melt! Let me out! I was wrong! I shouldn't have cursed at you! Help, help, help..."

Shinji remained unmoved, mechanically adding more firewood.
Gradually, the noises inside grew fainter, until the entire wine jar burst apart with a bang.
Hiss!
The fire
