Although Takiyasha Hime had returned and swiftly occupied the eight provinces with the hundred yokai she summoned... the pace had been too fast. There had simply been no time to do anything else.
If her stride had not been too wide and unstable, Princess Takiyasha Hime might even have wanted to accomplish the great feat her father had failed to achieve and wipe out Kyoto directly!
"Then remember to keep an eye on things. All right, you may leave..."
Takiyasha Hime waved a hand, dismissing him.
"Yes!"
At her words, Kishimaru immediately bowed, turned, and left the room.
Watching the warrior leave, Takiyasha Hime rose to her feet. Her white hair, identical to Sirin's, trailed all the way to the floor.
She turned, took out a scroll, and opened it. Looking at the evil summoning rituals recorded on it, Takiyasha Hime suppressed her unease and continued memorizing them.

The voice paid no heed to Takiyasha Hime's tone and instead
