Project 10 Plan A: Let's Build a Wooden Bridge

Oh, this is like the Gojo Bridge that once existed in Kyoto! Right?

Correct, Senpai. If Ushiwakamaru and Benkei were here, it might have made them feel nostalgic.

？！

Well, well. What a refined bridge you've constructed.

Ugh, you again, Mr. Elegance.

Hahaha, I'm just passing by again. I have no intention of interrupting your moment of relaxation with Master.

However, they say that bridges are inhabited by evil spirits. It may be a perfect fit for you, Kiyohime.

I shall excuse myself for now. Hm, listening to the creaks of the bridge floor also gives one a sense of elegance.

But it would be most elegant if I could have a duel with an evil monk who's after my sword on this bridge. I wish it would happen to me.

Yes, it is quite picturesque.

By the way, Kiyohime, do you know about the evil spirit Kojirou has mentioned?

？！

Yes, I have heard that something named Hashihime exists. It is a female oni that dwells under a bridge.

Whether it is fitting for me or not would be at the discretion of Master's.

The keywords include "love," "jealousy," and "curse"... Something like that. Would you like to hear more details?

？！

The story goes that if one compliments a different bridge or woman atop the bridge that Hashihime lives under, they'll be cursed to death.

Of course, in my case, I am not confined to the top of the bridge.

No matter where it happens, I will never fail to hear either words of love towards me or words of infidelity towards other women.

In other words, the whole world is a bridge called me, and Master is the one who crosses such a bridge all the time.

Oh my... The idea that Master is always stepping on me somehow excites me...!
